vented a Knock Out as the Sailor
Had tho Best of the Battle from
the Staxt The Referee Declares
Beta Off A Riot Threatened.
New Yoik, Nov. 2.'. The Shuikey
"oilictt light, which was witnessed
b) the laigcst and most loprcsenta
tlvo gatheilr.g of sporting men that
ever congtesnted to see a ring contest,
ended In u most disgraceful fiasco to
night at the I.nox Athletic club.
Corbett hud all tho wotst of the en
counter when one of his second", "Con
nie" McA'cy, jumped into the ring, np
peullnfr to the leferee, thus -violating
tho titles, and tho referee, "Honest
John Kollev, had no other alternative
but to disqualify Coibett and uwnid
the bout to Shaikey. BloVey's Intor
leienco was abrlulely Inexcusable,
and the rcleioe believing then was a
Job in Me-AVy's action, took It upon
himself to declaie nil bets off. Be
1010 Ktlley did .so, however, many of
thos who had bets on Corbett, and
they wcie legion, appealed to the ief
ctet to take such action, while Shar
ke) ltes shouted against such Intetfcr
ence on Kelley's part and protested
that ho hud no authority to deelato
the bets off. However, tho refeiee's
word went with the majoilty of tho
spectators and consequently all money
paid on wagers were refunded. It
was an unfortunate and cibiupt end
ing to what promised a most interest
ing light. For weeks Cotbett and Shar
key had trained faithfully and care
fully fur the contei t and when they
stripped tonight each of them showed
in excellent eomlltl.ui. Sharkey was
eiy confident of success and the man
ner in which he ai quitted himself in
tho ring while the light lusted showed
very plainly that his conllelenee was
founded on good ground. Those who
believed that Sharkey could not light
fairly changed their opinion after the
bout hud gone one lound. On the oth
er hand, Coibett lilt the sailor in tho
body ruthur low and Shut key protest
ed. Sharkey's quickness andaggtesslve
ness was astonishing from, the begin
ning and from tho first it was evident
that he held Coibett safely. In the
second round there were wild ells
from the admit trs of the Irishman
when he Hooted Corbett with a right
swing on the head, preceded with a
powerful blow on the body. Sharkey's
rushes were successful Invariably, and
Jim's quickness and leg work were
tested to their utmost in ttylng to
evado the aggressive sailor pugilist.
That Sharkey has improved wonder
fully goes without salng, and on the
other hand, that Coibett is not the
Corbett of New Orleans is beyond ques
tion. At no time hud the Callfotnlan
the upper hand of his younger and
moio sturdy thai. Sharkey is a light
er and a clever one at that, and his
work tonight stamps him beyond all
doubt as being second only to Fitz-
slmmons.
UNLOOKF.D FOIt INCIDENTS
From the second to the eighth round
Sharkey held a decided advantage.
In the third tound. which was so pto
duetive of alsappolntmeiHs and un
looked for Incidents, Coibett seemed
to bo stronger than at any time duting
tho light, but it was evident that he
was slowl) falling under Sharkey's
onslaughts. It was two to one on
Sharkey after tho second round, and
had not McVey acted as he did there
is ery little e'oubt that Sharkev
would have won handily. Some of
thepronilnentbankctsbiokersand bus
iness men in this and other cities wero
ptesent during tho mill, and not one
of them cou'd see any icason for in-tetf-Mince
bv McA'cy. The general be
lief is that JlcVey acted for some un
explained motive, and some persons
said that he Jumped Into the ling to
pi event Coibett trom going under.
AVhen AlcVey first put his leg through
the lopes the leferee evidently did not
or would not look In that direction,
but continued to pay close attention
to the lighters who wete mixing it
up in the center of the ting. Inspector
McLaughlin caught hold of MoA'ey to
pull him out again, but the hitter wus
evidently more anxious that Kclley
should see him. In this he wus moro
than successful, but i.ot until utter
half tho people In the house had yelled
repeatedly to Kelley to disqualify Cor
bett. When the big Cdllfornlau tealUed
what had occuned he was fuilous with
passion and lushed at McVe. Had he
caught the lutter there Is no telliu;
what Corbett would have done in hU
fienz but the polite were on liund
and rushed between the men, thus
uvoldlng a scene which would have
added to tho dlNgtuceful exhibition.
Just whut effect tho untimely Incident
will liuve on the boxing game In thin
vicinity in tutute cunnot now well ho
gauged, but thai it will Injure pugil
ists in this city Is be) nnd question.
A close estimate placed the attend
ance tonight at 0,000, nnd it was learn
ed that tho lecelptw exceeded $15,000.

Tho round ended with ShurKey ut his
man.
Hound 2-Corbott with tho left lightly
landed. There was an exchange with letti
and rights on tho bend, in which Shark'
showed to advantage. Jim kept ttylng
to push his left Into Tom's fuco and tlio
snllur would como back with a swing on
tho body. He wns It clll'cd to bo a trltlo
wild and was frequently cautioned by
O'ltourke, Ins chief second. Tom put over
a straight rlfiht on Jim's noo which
seemed to bring tho blood to that mem
ber. Sharkey put In a right hand swill,?
on Jim's Jaw which sent Corbett down.
Ho attempted to repeat tho dose but was
foiled as Jim clinched. The tound closed
with Tom nil over his man.

lauding on neck r nd Sharkey sent back a
hard right on tho body. Coibett begin
to do some punching nnd Jabbed his
mm at will but at long range, but Tom
always had a counter ready. Corbett re
peatedly led his left and damaged
Sharkey's fuco considerably. The sailor
based his opponent into tho latter'.s cor
ner and received a series of Jabs for his
action.
Itound i-Coibett stattcd right off with
a left jab on tho face and was appar
ently attempting to fool with his man.
Sharkey, however, was not In a plavlul
mood and brought his light hand vtr
with force enough to make Jim wince.
Jim hooked his left rather low on Tom's
body and lifted Sharkey olf his feet with
his shoulder. Corlx tt appeared to be a
trillo weaty and his blows lacked steam,
whereas there was a world of foico be
hind Shark s piuichts.

after him llko a. whirlwind. Tom slatted
In to mix it up and whipped In sonio tork

foictful blows on the bod). Mldwav
through the round there was a rattling
mix up, both exchanging Iclls mid rights
on the head and body with the sailor
having a shade tlio better of It. There
wero cries of foul, foul, whin Coibett hit
his man on a breakaway which the ref
eree had not called The men were
clinched at the bell after participating In
a vcrv fast mix up.
Hound 7Sha! key ran acro-s the ring
and planted left and right on the head,
Corbett clinching. Coibett acted on the
defensive and seemed unable to withstand
Sharkey's iu-hcs. Tho latter whipped in
a beautiful left hook on the wind and fol
lowed it up with a right on tho jaw. Tho
sailor kept doing all the woik and wis
alwa)s ready to mix It up on the slightest
piovocatlon He alternately threw over
lefts and right on head and body, occas
ionally i hanging to left hooks on tho wind

hepaiutlng them. Tom tried a h ft i hop
blow which fell shott and Jhp jabbed his
left hard on tho nose. Sharke) sent a
light straight to lace which made Jims
head lotk, but Jim was readv with a left
hook which grazed Sharke) 's ear. Hoth
men fought fast, clinching tepeatedl).
Jim hooked his right haid on Tom's Jaw,
half dazing him He quickly recuper
ated and went back to his man hammer
and tongs.
Hound 0 Corbett landed with his urt.
Tom went right back at tho same mo
ment. Clinches wero frequent and tho
men refused to break together. Corbett
struck Tom low on tho body nnd tho sail
or appealed to tho referee. Corbett
shoved Tom from him and said, "oh, )ou.
go away." Tho men wero In tho center or
the ring mixing it up In the liveliest man
ner, O'Hourke calling to Tom not to mind
Corbett's low hitting. Just nt tills mo
ment for somo unaccountable reason Jlc
Vey, ono of Corbett's seconds jumped
through tho topes, protesting that
Sharkey had dono something wrong to
Coibett. Tho moment McVey climbed
through tho ropes Police Inspector Mc
Laughlin gtahbed hold of him, while tho
crowd frantic.' Uy )elled "ftul, foul, Cor
bett loses, look at his second In tho ring."
Heferee Kedey foemed to pay no atten
tion to the matter but kept looking nt the
lighters who continued their agcresslvo
work. McA'cv tried to pull nvvay from tho
Inspector whllo the spectators kept )clllng
ut tho referee, who lln illy sepniuted tho
llghtets ami ordued them to their cor
ners. Coibett seemed not to understand
wh) tho refree should Interfere and pro
tested, hut Kelley was obdurate and
stopped tho bout Meanwhile the specta
tcrs stood and called that bets should
bo declared off, as they believe McVey
committed tho breach -of ring tubs pro
medltatcdly. It lcoked for a while as If a
riot would ensuo but as soon as the ret
ereo deelired Sharkey the winner on tho
technicality ho announced all bets wero
off. as McVey's action was undoubtedly
prearranged.
As soon us this announcement was made,
the spectators lesumed their seats and
awaited tlw departure of tho men from
the ring.

Rev. Bryan Speaks of the Manner
in Which Soldleis Were Burled
and of His Efforts with Bowery
Toughs.
New York. Nov. 22. Before the wnr
Investigation commission today llev.
Henry B. Brynn, of the Garden City
cathedral, spoke of tho manner In
which tho soldiers d)lng in the hos
pitals wero burled. Mr. Bryan went
to Camp AVIkoff on September J.
"My duties led me to the morgue
every day and I stopped In too see
who had died dining the night. I
saw the naked bodies of toUUiis placed
in ba.-e pine colllns undtJhe name ot
in.; in. in unci ins icgiiueui w linen on
the lid of the coilln. Of course the
damp earth qultkly oblitciatcd these
maiks and no further tccords wete
kept. Sometimes the body was bulled
In a night shlit, but they never took
tho tumble to button the shin.
"It was grossly Indecent. At tho
morgue tho attendants nit on the eof
11ns with the bodies In them and
chewed and smoked and told Indecent
stories. I icbukeel them once, but they
we-re Bowery toughs und It was use
less to tilk to them.
"An autopsy was made em the body
of Barney Trio and organs temoved
were left l)lng nbout ur..ll the at
tcnelnnts tied them up In a towel und
tluew them uway."
Colonel Theodoto Hoo'ovelt was
among the afternoon witnesses. He
told of the equipment and mustcting

"When we leacheil Tuiipu," Colonel
Hocuevelt said, "Oleic was u condition
of utter confusion. AW weio dumped
outside, u mile away fiom our camp.
No one know where the camp was.
There was no one to tell us wheie
to go or what to do. After walling
21 bouts I took the law Into my own
bunds anil bought food lor the men
and hotscs. Latei when we found
our camp, we wcie aliighl."
His own ltglnient was assigned to
the tiansport Yucatan. Incidentally
be had heaid that the Second Infantry

teers weio also assigned to the Yu

litti i led on the Hough Bidets and took
possession of the i'hlp and had It

had decided to get to Cuba and they

THH ril'.ST ATTACK.
Colonel Boose elt told In detail ot
the mat th of his leglment to Its Hist
camping place.
"After supper." he continued, "Col
onel Wood told us that we vveie t'
ulutt next mninlnz to take tho Span
lard"'. The next morning's march was
a hard one, especially for the men.
There were no oppoitunlties for Hank
ers. It was so hot that about 100 men
dtopped out for a test and when the
lb st Spanish outpost was discovered
Colonel Wood oidered silence and I
was bent to the light to deploy with
the light wing.
"When the Spaniards began llring I
did not know what was up. It was
my lit st expei lence. They were using
smokeless powder, and I could not see
where thev wete.
"When I located the Spaniards with
my classes I did not know what to
do, but I knew it was a good rule If
In doubt to go ahead, and bo went
ahead."
Colonel Boosevelt then told how the
regiment camped out for the night.
Asked about the rations he said: "We
had the regulation rations of salt poik,
hard tack, coffee and sugar, but the
men wanted vegetables and I wanted
to get some for them. The department
tefused to pell me beans and tomatoes
unless I could certify that they were
for olllcers' consumption. I stt etched
my conscience as far as I could, and
then boarded a transport and pur
chased about live hundred pounds of
beans."
"The ammunition supply was excel
lent. The food was Insufficient."
LACK OF FOOD.
Colonel Boosevelt said other regi
ments at the ftont suffered for the lack
ot supplies. One man of the Fltst Il
linois regiment visited the Bough Rid
ers' camp and offeied beven dollnis for
beven haul tacks. Two hundred men
of tho leglment came Into the Bough
Bidet h' camp and ate the broken hard
tack.
"Have you anything jou can sug

A REFUSAL PREDICTED
Mnny Believe That Spain Will Not
Accept the 820,000,000 Offered by,
the United States for tho Philip
pines A Reply to tho American
Commissioners Expected Today,
The Tiench Press Supplies tha
Usual Prescription o Wormwood
nnd Gall Judge Day's Cablegram,
Paris, Nov. 2-'. The Spanish peaco
commissioners last night telegraphed
to Madrid the substance of tho United
States memorandum ptesented yester
duy and late In thu evening they wero
discussing it among themselves. As
late us 1 o'clock this morning, a Span
ish commissioner alllrmed that he anil
his colleagues did not know what to
do regarding the American offer.
Thete Is a dlfferenco of opinion;
among unolllclal people near the com-,
missions but tho prediction Is mado
that Spain will decline tho offer oC
money; that she will refuse to cedo
the Philippines, and will say to tho
United States:
"You may take the archipelago bos
cause you have tho power to do so.
As you ndviso wo will retire, protest
ing agulnst greedy aggression. iWo
will fnlthfully carry out our protocol
pledges and le-avo Cuba and Porto
BIco In your hands. You camo here
to engage In a discussion under tlio
terms of tho piotocol but you evident
ly meant when drawing up that docu
ment to piovldo a confeienco In which,
though vvo differ, man to man, you
proposed " to announce at the proper
tlmo what you will do, whether wo
agree to it or object. Such an attitude
robs1 the confetence of a ncgotlntlvo
chaiacter and sets up tho United States
as a dominant power whoso first pttt
poso Is to listen but whoso ultimate
determination Is to do Its own will."
RBSrARKS OF BIOS.
As a matter of fact Senor Moutcilo
Bios is leported to have used virtually
such language and arguments as the
foregoing.
He said more, even Indicating u de
gree of exnspeuition at the American
offer of $20,000,000.
His display of feeling and utterances,
however, aie not wholly approved by
his Spanish colleagues, who did not
hesitate to say as much after yester
day's besslon.
Utterances later by a Spaniard ot
Importance, whose name is withheld for
the present, Indicates another line of
action, a treaty cession of the Philip
pines. Last night the Spanish commission
ers sent the American proposition by
a special messenger to Madrid, where
It will arrive tomorrow. It is felt that
the Spanish government must now an
swer the American ultimatum; but, as
it is not likely that the answer of Mad
rid will arrive tomorrow In tlmo for
the commissioners to formulate their
reply to the Americans by the after
noon, It Is probable that the joint meet
ing will be defened from tomorrow till
a dav later in the week,
It is said today that Senor Montero
Bios, president of tho Spanish com
mission, at the conference yesterday,
remaiked after having heard tho
American offer, that If tho vital por
tion had been reael the Spaniards could
answer It instantly but as tho memor
andum was very long they would de
fer their answer until AVednesday,
adding that It would be easily possible
to make it within 84 hours.
On the other hand, it is said tho
Spaniards cannot justify themselves
befoie their people and others by
thi owing nvvay $20,000,000, added to tho
Inevitable loss of tho Philippine Islands.
The Gaulols today says: "The com
missions being divided into nn caual
number of voices on the subject of tho
cession or retention of the atchlpelago,
a tecouiso to arbitration Is absolutely
necessary and legal. The Americans,
neveitheless, letuse to do so and at
tribute to themselves sovereignty over
tho Philippines without the consent
of the conference. They thcrefoie them
selves tear up the protocol they had
Imposed upon the vuiKtulshect and, to
keep up uppcarauces and soften In tlio
eyes ot tho woild tho violence of their
ptoe ceilings, they oftei tho abusid com
pensation of $20,000,000.
