NEW YORK , Juno 10. James J.
Jeffries , another sturdy young giant ,
has come out of the west to whip
champion pugilists. At the arena of
the Coney Island Athletic club tonight
ho defeated Robert Fitzslmmons ,
world's champion In two classes mid
dleweight and heavyweight In eleven
rounds of whirlwind fighting. He came
to the ring a rank outsider and left
it the acknowledged master of the man
he defeated. Ho was never at any
tlmo in serious danger , and after the
size-up in the early rounds of the con
test took the lead. Ho had the Austra
lian whipped from the ninth round.
it was acknowledged that Jeffries
would have an immense advantage in
weight , height and age , but the thou
sands who tipped and backed his oppo
nent to win were sure that ho was slow
and that he would in that respect be
absolutely at the mercy of the post
master at the science of fighting that
he was to meet. He proved , on the
contrary , that he was just as fast as
the man ho met and beat him down to
unconscious defeat In a fair fight. Ho
is a veritable giant In stature and
marvelously speedy for his immense
size.
size.Less than a year ago he appeared in
New York a great , awkward , ungainly
boy. Today he is the lithe , active , alert
trained athlete. The men who pre
pared him for the fight worked won
ders with him. They taught him a
nearly perfect defense , improved his
foot movement and instructed him in
the methods of inflicting punishment.
The transition since ho appeared last
has been little short of miraculous.
At 21 ho defeated Robert Fitzslmmons ,
Tom Shnrkey and Peter Jackson , and
If he cares for himself ho will probably
be able to successfully defend the title
for many years.
The defeated man was just as good
as when on the crispy morning In the
plains of faraway Nevada ho lowered
the colors of the then peerless Corbett.
Ho was just as active , just as tclcky
and just as fearless of punishment.
He went unfalteringly to his defeat.
He was the aggressor even at moments
when , bleeding and unsteady and
stunned by the blows he received , ho
reelei. instinctively toward his oppo
nent. He was fighting all the time
and punished his opponent , but tound
him n different opponent than any he
had met and a difficult man to flght.
Jeffries fought from a couching atti
tude that was hard to get a. . . He held
his head low , his back was bent down
and his loft arm was extended. He
kept jabbing away with the loft and
found no trouble In landing it. It was
there that his superior reach told.
That giant arm served as a sort of
human fender to ward off danger. Ho
snowed an excellent defense and the
ability to use both hands with skill.
He is game , too , for ho never shrank
from his punishment.
It was a great fight to watch and
commenced and ended amid scenes of
intense excitement. It was all dra
matic. The men fought before a crowd
of 9,000 persons and stood up in a great
beam of blinding white light. It was
llko a thousand calciums and it showed
relief. When the blood came It was an
their great white bodies in strange
Intcnser red than usual.
There was not a suggestion of Inter
ference from the police. Chief Devery
occupied a seat at the ringside , but
never entered the ring. When it was
all over he sent Captain Kenny In to
clear the ring. The contest was pulled
off without wrangle and was devoir
of the brutal elements that Chle !
Devery feared.
Never was a crowd handled with
less friction. It was all perfectly
orderly. There was absolutely no con
fusion attendant upon the assemblage
and housing of the big crowd. Severn
thousand of those provided with tick
ets came to the beach late in the after
noon and their action relieved the
pressure during the earlier hours
There were several routes from the
city and all seemed to bo well patro
nized , so that at no tlmo was there a
jam at any given point. The rain tha
foil between the hours of 5 and 7 had a
tendency to dlmlnsh the crowd o
Idlers tnat usually comes to the fron
on an occasion of that kind the late
ness of the hour at which the contest
ants were announced to appear kep
the crowd from seeking the Coney
Isand club house very early , and Coney
Island with Its Ferris
, merry-go-rounds ,
ris wheels , glided cafes , Jugglers and 1
bespangled dancers furnished many
amusement and entertainment during
the wait.
It all made a strange scene. Crowds
thronged the streets and surged among
the stands and stalls of the already
thronged cafes. The prospects were
never brighter , and the strange devices
that make polyglbt music never work
ed hnrder Many places where liquid
and solid refreshments were dispensed
were packed to overflowing and every
where was the buzz of conversation
freighted with flght talk. It was on
everybody's lips. Enthusiasts touted
their favorltles. Here Fitzslmmons
would win in a walk ; there , Jefferles
was a sure victor. The newsboys
shouted late extras that told all about
it and fakirs offered the latest pictures
of * the two giants who were to flght.
There was very little hotting. There
was plenty of money on both sides , but
nobody liked the odds. The Jefferles
inen wore getting two for one for their
collateral and the Fltzslmmons con
tingent was loth to slvo it.
The great house filled slowly , and It
was after n o'clock before the police
had to bestir themselves to clear the
aisles. The absence of any prelimi
nary contest gave the crowd a light
appetite. They began calling for me
performance at 9:30 : and at 9 : IS were
demonstrative.
Jefferles was the first to appear. He
came through the main entrance and
walked the length of the hall at 9:50 :
to an accompaniment of cheers , while
Fitzslmmons , who was accompanied
by his Spartan-like wife , cnmo from
the dressing room by n side door.
The agreement as to the conditions
of clinches and breaks was discussed
and settled outside the ring nrd there
was but little delay when the terms
were agreed on.
Fltzslmmons entry into the ring at
10:05 : o'clock was made the occasion
of n rather theatrical demonstration.
Julian was first and then came the
fighter. The seconds were next In line ,
and then came two mon bearing a
great floral piece that was almost
funereal in Its appearance. It waa
inscribed "Good Luck to the Cham
pion , " but the flowers are wilted now.
Fitzslmmona bowed ceremoniously to it.
Jeffries came next into the arena ,
and llko his opponent , got a demon
strative reception. Fltzslmmons looked
lanky and thin , but his skin was clear ,
his eye bright , and his stop clastic.
He made a great display of American
flags at his waist. Jeffries looked
sturdy and massive and seemed a little
nervous. Ho got the worst of the
assignment of corners , for the great
lights shone Into his face and ho
blinked at thorn in a nervous sort of
way. Slier , too , looked colorless and
ill at ease.
There was no trying delay In the
ring and the gong sounded Just as the
men had boon presented and gloved.
When the squared off Jeffries looked
pounds to the good. The opening
round was a tryout , pure and simple ,
and not a single blow of nn effective
nature was landed. First ono was
the pacemaker and then the other es
sayed the pressing. They were almost
equally active and the clever work
recompensed the crowd for the lack
of excitement. The second round be
gan In abuslness like way with Jef
fries trying his left. Fltzslmmons
then took a turn , but was short. Just
as the round closed Jeffries downed
Fltzslmmons with a hard straight
left on the jaw. The champion came
up slowly in a dazed sort of way and
reeled toward his man. The crowd
cheered Jeffries , but the gong ended
the round.
Fitzsimmons rallied in the rest , and
was aggressive again In the third.
The champion was bleeding , but fight
ing viciously. Ho made the pace , but
it was the Callfornlan's round. The
fourth was fast but not decisive.
Fitzslmmons made his best showing
in the flftn. Ho began the round
with a punch that opened Jeffries' left
eye and sent a little torrent of blood
coursing down his cheek. Ho forced
Jeffries against the ropes , but the Cal-
ifornlan slipped away from him. Ho
made Jeffrios hug again , but then the
round ended and Jeffrios was back
and fighting. Fitzslmmons was the
aggressor In the sixth and that , too ,
was his round. Ho tried all of his
tricks with left and right , but was
unable to place them right. Ho closed
with a strong right uppercut , but that
too , was blocked. The seventh might
bo said to have been Fitzsimmons
but ho dla no particular damage with
his punches.
The eighth saw the beginning of the
end. for Fltzslmmons never regained
his balance atter that round. Jefferies
began the round with a straight left on
the face that again brought the blood
out of his opponent's mouth. The
Cornishman staggered against the
ropes , but came back for another facer ,
There was fear in the Fitzsimmons
corner and Julian yelled to Fitzslm
mons to be careful. Fitzsimmons plant
ed one of his lofts on Jofferles1 jaw ant
staggered him against the ropes. Fitz
slmmons looked like a beaten man.
The ninth was all Jofferics' Ho sent
the Australian's head back with a s r-
ies of lefts , put his right on the body
and avoided any serious punishment
Fitzsimmons kept pressing forward al
the time , but was unable to find his
opponent.
The tenth was in reality where the
fight ended. Jeffries rushed his op
ponent and downed him with a lef
swing. Fitzsimmons seemed out am !
there was a moment of tlio wildest ex
citement. Julian ran along the side o
the ring and sprinkled water on his
fallen Idol. At the end of seven seconds
ends Fitzslmmons staggered to hit
feet , only to go down again. Ho was up
again and Jeffries poised himself for
the finish. He shot his left to the body
and tried for the head with his right
He was calm and collected , but th
time was too short. Again did the
gong come to the aid of the man who
was then going , staggering and dazed
to certain defeat. There was a frantli
effort to revive the champion of cham
pious , but ho was cleanly gone and his
seconds could not restore his energies
The fate-like gong clanged again and
the old fighter wabbled out to meot'thc , '
sturdy young Hercules who awaitet
him. It was courageous and gritty , bu
It was hopeless. It was a splendid mo
mcnt and full of all that dramatic In
tensity that characterizes a tragedy ,
Jeffries was as fresh as at the start
There was a moment of sparring and
the giant arms of the Callfornlan shot
through the air. It was left and right
and over. Fitzslmmons , limp and un
conscious , dropped to the floor.
Jeffries stepped back , for ho knew
the force that he had put behind his
terrible blows. The timers called out
the seconds that counted out an old
ring hero and heralded another , but
nobody heard them. The crowd was
on its feet howling. There was a rush
for the ring , but scores of blue-coata
barred the way. Ten seconds are short
and when the tenth had come there
wns a new roar of excitement to wel
come the victor.
Julian , Hlckey , Honny and Ever-
hardt gathered up the prostrate man.
Ho was still In a trance. They carried
him to his corner and a little blood
oozed from his mouth as his head fell
forward on his cheat. The now hero
crossed the ring and shook the hand
of his rival , after which ho was sur
rounded by his friends , who hustled
him from the ring and Into his dress
ing room.
Jeffries had the good wishes of his
clergyman father out at Los Angeles ,
Cal. This wire was placed In his hand
as ho reached the ring :
"Jim : We know you will win. Keep
good spirits ; lie confident of our blots-
lug.
'Father. Mother niul Family. "
The scenes enacted in the dressing-
room 01 Jeffries , which was only n few
feet away fiom that occupied thn de
feated pugilist , were of the most Joyful
character. Crowds of persons ham
mered at the door for admittance , all
anxious to congratulate the now cham
pion. William Brady was dancing
with delight from the moment the de
cision wns given that made him for
the second tlmo a manager of a world's
heavyweight champion.
"Jeffries Is a corker , " ho cried , "and
there Is not a man on earth that can
beat him. Ho's a wonder and no mis
take. Let thorn all coino to him now ,
Billy Dolancy , Jeffries' chief train
er , wns boaldo himself with delight. Ho
nald :
"I hnvo ngnln brought n champion
boater from California and am nat
urally proud of It. Fltzslmmons was
beaten fair and square and although
ho put up a game fight my man had
his measure taken from the moment
ho shaped for the first round. "
Jim Daly and Jack Jeffries had very
little to say regarding their victory ,
but their good-natured faces were
wreathed in smiles and they looked
upon Jeffries as n veritable world-
beater.
Jeffries himself was surrounded by
a host of friends who congratulated
him on his well won honor. In re
sponse to several Inquiries , the now
champion said :
"Fltz fought n good and game battle
and hit mo harder than any man whom
I have been up against. Ho can whip
Sharkoy in two rounds. I would gain
nothing by meeting Sharkoy again , but
nm willing to meet any man in the
world in whom the public has confi
dence and there will bo no fear of my
quitting the ring for the stage. I will
defend my title as champion nt all
times and against all comers. At no
time during tonight's fight did 1 feel
any misgiving as to my ability to win.
I am satisfied that I have well earned
the right to bo called champion by
beating Fitzslmmons , who was un
doubtedly the greatest fighter of the
ago. "
Jeffries and his party left for Now
York at midnight and will make the
Vamlerbllt hotel their headquarters.

The march yesterday was a moat

un and the march was unopposed un
til the Las Pinaa river was reached
at 4 o'clock.
Troop I of the Fourth cavalry was
loading with Lawton's and Whca-

directed by Insurgents on the approaching
preaching Americans. The Colorado
regiment hurried up on the skirmish
line , Immediately engaging the enemy.

long skirmish line of the enemy ap
peared on the Americans' left Hank

A battalion of the Ninth Infantry ,

emy , silencing them speedily. They
lost two men wounded In the charge
through the long grass.
The fee withdrew to the lake , hut
still remain in a position to harass
the Americans and pick up stragglers.
It Is probable that this force , an
ticipating being surrounded by the
American forces , withdrew from the
trap and marched rapidly to the left
of the American advance.
The American losses in General
Wheaton'a brigade during the day
were nineteen wounded. Nineteen in
surgent bodies were found , but It Is
believed that the enemy's loss was
somewhat greater , as the Held was not
thoroughly searched.
General Ovenshlno's brigade lost
ono man killed and five wounded.
Ovcnshlno met the Filipinos to the

the beach.
WASHINGTON , Juno 12. The war
department today received a report
from Major General Otis of the mili
tary movement yesterday to the south
of Manila for the purpose of cldnring
out the rebels in that section. It shows
that the movement was a great suc
cess , and that the enemy K loss was
considerably greater than stated In the
press dispatches. General Otis , cable
gram Is as follows :
MANILA , Juno 11 , 1809. The terri
fic heat yesterday did not permit the
troops to reach the positions at the
hours designated. This enabled a ma
jority of the Insurgents to escape in
scattered organizations south and
westward , which they effected during
the evening and night. The movement
was a great success , however. The enemy -
omy was disorganized and routed , suf-
fqrlug heavy loss. The troops are rest
ing tqdny at Las Pinna and Pnrnnaquo.
The navy did excellent execution along
the shore of the bay , but many Insur
gent detachments retired in that di
rection , protected by the presence of
women and children , whom they drove

prised the colony's Sunday siesta by
arriving at 3 p. in. yesterday.
Governor Mitchell at the tlmo was
abhent from the government house
and there was momentary consterna
tion there. His aide-de-camp and
captain of the port with Mr. Pratt
hurried to the pier. As the Olympla
had three or four days here , the ad
miral expressed a doslro to remain
quietly on board the Olympla during
Sunday. This morning the admiral
came ashore and was escorted by a
company of the King's Own on an
ofllclal visit to the government house ,
which visit the governor general will
return at 3 o'clock this afternoon. A
big crowd saw the admiral and
cheered him lustily , regarding It as
an Anglo-American celebration. The
Olympla had a flno voyage from Hong
Kong and the admiral Is looking well.

TH15 HAGUE. June 12. An author
itative coltradlctlon in given to the
report that there is grave danger of
the arbitration scheme falling.
It Is pointed out that , although Ger
many may hesitate to recognize the
pilnclplo , it has not yet raised any ,
actual objections during the discussion ,
LONDON , Juno 12. The correspond
ent of the Times at The Hnguo saya :
"There Is no siilllclent reason as far
as I can ascertain to anticipate the
failure of the arbitration scheme , Ger
many's ohlectlons mav nosalhlv have
boon ' Intimated to certain members of
the conference , but oven In that cnso
It would bo premature to take a pessi
mistic view. If dUllcultles have arisen
they may yet bo smoothed over. Even
so formidable a power as Germany
may well pause before assuming the
tcrrlblo responsibility of bringing
about the failure of the conference. "
The correspondent of the Dally Nowa
at The ague says : I lonrn that Dr.
Horn , the German delegate , spoke on
Friday against arbitration. When I (
asked him for a copy of his speech I
got a point blank refusal , Dr. Zorn
saying :
"All I can tell you is that Friday's ,
sitting was extremely Interesting and I .
that I presented Germany's objections ' ?
to the scheme for a permanent nrbl- . I (
tration tribunal./ j
Notwithstanding this I nm able to <
send a full analysis of his speech. Ho J '
spoke slowly and with dllllculty In . '
French. Ho assorted that ho was In- < ' ,
stntcted to say that Germany could not < /
accept the principle of permanent arbi
tration embodied in Sir Julian Paunco- I
foto's draft. It objected , firstly , on (
principle , and , secondly , on grounds of I ' i
expediency. ' "
Ho then proceeded to argue that It 'f
was derogatory to a monarch's sov- '
orclgnty and to a nation's indopcn- v
donee. Arbitration agreed upon between -
tweon two nations for a narrowly de
fined object was ono thing , and arbi
tration binding a nation for the un
knowable future was quite another. A '
king , holding his title by dlvlno right ,
could not think of divesting himself of
an essential part of his sovereignty ,
the right to Rhnpo the nation's course
at a critical tlmo.
Or. Horn concluded his speech amid
painful silence.
Sir Julian Pauncofoto , replying , said
he thought the objections of the Ger
mans sliowed a view which many
might not consider altogether modern.
"As to the doubts expressed regardIng -
Ing the fitness of the Judge I have no
doubt/ ' said Sir Julian , "that every
state would take pride In nominating
its best man. " '
It Is believed that Dr. Zorn'a Instruc
tions were sent under a misapprehen
sion , as sonio of his objections would
only apply to the older scheme super
seded by the British draft.
The correspondent of The Hnguo as
sorts that at last Fridays meeting Dr.
Horn opposed the arbitration scheme ,
but adds that negotiations are pro
ceeding between the Hngua and Berlin.
