L, .June 12.—fBy Car rier Pigeon from the Front.)—The American troops entered lata Pinas at 6:15 this morning, unopposed, but found the town fully occupied. It is reported that the insurgents have left Paranaque also, which laiw ton’s troops are at his hour approach ing. The army slept last night one mile south of Las Pinas, enduring a steady downpour of rain, without having any shelter. Among the occupants of Las Pinas when the troops entered this morning were scores of young Filipinos, all profesedly friendly, but of the mili tary age and having the appearance of insurgents. A native priest here said that the Insurgent force, under Nolel, 2,000 strong, left the place last night for Bacor, retreating along the beach left uncovered by the American line. The insurgent loss is said to have been small. The march yesterday was a most fearful experience on account of the tremendous heat. The troops march ed steadily from 5 in the morning un til 12:30. Then an hour’ rest was tak en and the march was unopposed un til the I.as Pinas river was reached at 4 o’clock. Troop I of the Fourth cavalry was leading with Lawton’s and Whea ton's staffs. Suddenly a hot Are was directed by insurgents on the ap proaching Americans. The Colorado regiment hurried up on the skirmish line, Immediately engaging the enemy. While this action was going on a long skirmish line of the enemy ap peared on the Americans’ left flank and began a heavy Are. A battalion of the Ninth infantry, with two guns of the artillery, deploy ed and advanced on the feiuting en emy, silencing them speedily. They lost two men wounded in the charge through the long grass. The foe withdrew to the lake, but 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 trail ami marched rapidly to the left «r the American advance. The American losses in General Wheaton’s brigade during the day were nineteen wounded. Nineteen in surgent. bodies were found, but it is believed that tlio enemy’s loss was somewhat greater, as the field was not thoroughly searched. General Ovenahine’s brigade lost one man killed and five wounded, Ovensbine met the Filipinos to the right of Wheaton's brigade and later followed Wheaton’s brigade in its march. The navy co-operated by shelling the beach. WASHINGTON, June 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 clearing out the rphels in that section. It shows that the movement was a great suc cess, and that the enemy s loss was considerably greater than stated in the press dispatches. General Otis, cable gram is as follows: MANILA, June 11, 1899—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 wa3 a great success, however. The en emy was disorganized and routed, suf fering heavy loss. The troops are rest ing today at Las Pinas and Paranaque. 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 a.ong with them. Our loss, four killed and some thlry wounded. Report of the casualties later. A conservative estimate of the enemy’s loss is about 100. . OTIS. Admiral Itewey at SlnKi»|>ore. SINGAPORE.

Ofllrlttl Denial (ilifii to Slorjr That Ger many Will Withhold Approval. THE HAG17E, June 12.—An author itative coitradiction is given to the I report that there is grave danger of the arbirtration scheme failing. It is pointed out that, although Ger many may hesitate to recognize the principle, it has not yet raised any actual objections during the discussion. LONDON, June 12.—The correspond ent of the Times at The Hague says: "There is no sufficient reason as far as I can ascertain to anticipate the failure of the arbitration scheme. Ger many's objections may possibly have been intimated to certain members of the conference, but even in that case it would be premature to take a pessi mistic view. If difficulties have arisen they may yet bo smoothed over. Even so formidable a power as Germany may well pause before assuming the terrible responsibility of bringing about the failure of the conference.” The correspondent of the Daily News at The ague says: I learn that Dr. Zorn, 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 that I presented Germany’s objections to the scheme for a permanent arbi tration tribunal./ Notwithstanding this I am able to send a full analysis of his speech. He spoke slowly and with difficulty In French. He asserted that he was in structed to say that Germany could not accept the principle of permanent arbi tration embodied in Sir Julian Paunce fote’s draft. It objected, firstly, on principle, and, secundly, on grounds of expediency. He then proceeded to argue that it was derogatory to a monarch’s sov ereignty and to a nation’s indepen dence. Arbitration agreed upon be tween two nations for a narrowly de fined object was one thing, and arbi tration binding a nation for the un knowable future was quite another. A king, holding his title by divine right, could not. think of divesting himself of an essential part of his sovereignty, the right to shape the nation’s course at a critical time. I)r. Zorn concluded his speech amid painful silence. Sir Julian PauncefotP, replying, said he thought the objections of the Ger mans showed a view which many might not consider altogether modern. “As to the doubts expressed regard 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's instruc tions were sent under a misapprehen sion, as some of his objections would only apply to the older scheme super seded by the British draft. The correspondent of The Hague as serts that at last Fridays meeting Dr. Zorn opposed the arbitration scheme, but adds that negotiations arp pro ceeding between the Hague and Berlin.

FIGHT SPIRITED FROM THE START A Succession of Heavy Blows Throughout the Contest. NO INTERFERENCE BY THE POLICE Eltxslmmon* Ha* the Advantage In Only Two KouniD and in Eleventh t'oiue* Ip Too Weak to Make Adequate Defense —Detail* of the Eight by Hounds. NEW YORK, Juno 10—James J. Jeffries, another sturdy young giant, has come out of the weBt to whip champion pugilists. At the arena of the Coney Island Athletic club tonight he defeated Robert Fitzsimmons, 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. He was never at any time in serious danger, and after the slze-up in the early rounds of the con test took the lead. He hail the Austra lian whipped from the ninth round. it was acknowledged that Jeffries would have au Immense advantage In weight, height and age, but the thou sands who tipped and backed his oppo nent to win were sure that he was slow and that he would In that respect be absolutely at the mercy of the past 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 he met and beat him down to unconscious defeat in a fair fight. He is a veritable giant in stature and marvelously speedy for bis Immense 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 indicting punishment. The transition since he appeared last has been little short of miraculous. At 24 he defeated Robert Fitzsimmons, Tom Sharkey and Peter Jackson, and If he cares for himself he will probably be able to successfully defend the title for many years. The defeated man was Just as good ns when on the crispy morning in the plains of faraway Nevada-he lowered the colors of the then peerless Corbett. He was just as active, Just as tricky 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, he reelec, instinctively toward his oppo nent. He was fighting all the time and punished his opponent, but found him a different opponent than any he had met and a difficult man to fight. 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 left arm was extended. He kept jabbing away with the left 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. He snowed an excellent defense and the ability to use both hands with skill. He is game, too, for he 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 like a thousand calciums and it showed relief. When the blood came it was an their great white bodies in strange intenser 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 devoid of the brutal elements that Chief Devery feared. Never was a crowd handled with less friction. It was all perfectly orderly. There was absolutely r.o con fusion attendant upon the assemblage and housing of the big crowd. Several 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 lhe city and all seemed to be well patro nized. so that at no time was there a Jam at uny given point. The rain that fell between the hours of 5 and 7 had a tendency to dlmlnah the crowd of Idlers tnat usually comes to the front on an occasion of that kind the late nesa of the hour at which the contest ants were announced to appear kept the crowd from seeking the Coney lean I club house very early, and Coney Island, with Its merry-go-rounds. Far- | rla wheels, glided cafes. Jugglers and bespangled darners furnished many amusement and entertainment during the wait. It all made a strange acene. Crowds thronged the streets and surged among tha stand* and stalls of the already thronged rafea. The prospects were never brighter, and the strange device* that make polygtbt music never work- I ad harder Many p!a<e* where liquid and solid refreshment* w*r# dispensed | ware packed to overflowing aad every- i where was the busa of conversation freighted wtth light talk It was on everybody # lips, Kathusiaste touted their fa* or I ties Here, Fttasitntwoti* would win In a walk, ikere.

The absence of any prelimi nary contest gave the crowd a fight appetite. They began calling for me performance at 9:30 and at 3:46 were demonstrative. JefTeries 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 Fitzsimmons, who was accompanied by his Spartan-like wife, came from the dressing room by a side door. The agreement as to the conditions of clinches and breaks was discussed and settled outside the ring ai d there was but little delay when the terms were agreed on. Fitzsimmons entry into the ring at 10:05 o'clock was made the occasion of a rather theatrical demonstration. .Julian was first and then came the fighter. The seconds were next in line, and then came two men bearing a great floral piece that was almost funereal in its appearance. It was inscribed "Good Luck to the Cham- j pion,” but the flowers are wlltpd now. Fitzsimmons bowed ceremoniously to It. Jeffries came next into the arena, and like his opponent, got a demon strative reception. Fitzsimmons looked lanky and thin, but his skin was clear, bis eye bright, and his step elastic. He made a great display of American flags at his waist. Jeffries looked sturdy and massive and seemed a little nervous. He got the worst of the assignment of corners, for the great lights shone into his face and he blinked at them in a nervous sort of way. Siler, too, looked colorless anti ill at ease. There was no trying delay in the ring and the gong sounded Just as the men had been 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 an effective nature was landed. First one 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. Fitzsimmons then took a turn, but was short. Just as the round closed Jeffries downed Fitzsimmons 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. He made the pace, but it was the Californian's round. The fourth was fast but not decisive. Fitzsimmons made his best showing in the flftn. He began the round with a punch that opened Jeffries' left eye and sent a little torrent of blood coursing down hts cheek. He forced Jeffries against the ropes, but the Cal ifornian slipped away from him. He made Jeffries hug again, but then the round ended and Jeffries was back and fighting. Fitzsimmons was the aggressor in the sixth and that, too, was his round. He tried all of his tricks with left and right, but was unable to place them right. He (dosed with a strong right uppercut, but that too, was blocked. The seventh might be said to have been Fitzsimmons' but he din no particular damage with his punches. the eighth saw the beginning of the end, for Fitzsimmons never regained his balance after that round. JefTeries 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 Fitzsim mons to be careful. Fitzsimmons plant ed one of his lefts on Jefferies' Jaw and staggered him against the ropes. Fitz simmons looked like a beaten man. The ninth was all Jefferies’ He sent the Australian's head back with a ser ies of lefts, put his right on the body and avoided any serious punishment. Fitzsimmons kept pressing forward all 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 left swing. Fitzsimmons seemed out and there was a moment of the wildest ex citement. Julian ran along the side of the ring and sprinkled water on his fallsn idol. At the end of seven sec onds Fitzsimmons staggered to his feet, only to go down again. He 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 the 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 frantic efTort to revive the champion of cham pions. but he was cleanly gone and his seconds could not restore ilia energies. The fate-like gong clanged again and the old fighter wabbled out to meet the sturdy youug Hercules who awaited him. It was courageous and gritty, but It was hopeless. It was a splendid mo ment 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 gieut arms of the Californian shot through the sir. It was (eft snd right and over. Fitzsimmons, limp and un conscious. dropped to the floor. Jeffries stepped hack, for he knew the force that he had pul behind his terrible blows. The timers called out the seconds that counted out an old ring hern an t heralded another, but nobody heard them The crowd waa on Its feet howling. There was a rush for the ring, but sroree of blue-coats liar red the way. Ten eecoada are short and when the tenth had come there was a new roar of excitement to wel come the victor. Julian. Illckey, llenny and Free hard! gathered up the prostrate man lie was still tn a trance They carried him to his t turner and a little blood "turd from bis mouth as his head fell forward tin his chest. The new hem t tossed the ring and shook the hand of hia rival, after which he was sur rounded by hie friends who hustled hint from the ring and Into hia drees in# room Jeffrie# had the good wishes erf hia clergyman father owl a! t<o* At»g«|.« t'el This wire waa plated tn his hand m he re#, he -| the ring * Jim W # kn i* yo# will win Keep good spirits; be confident of our bless ing. "Father. Mother ani Family.” The scenes enacted in the dressing room Oi Jeffries, which was only a few feet away from that occupied the de feated pugilist, were of the most joyful ! character. Crowds of persons ham mered at the door fqr admittance, all anxious to congratulate the new cham pion. William Brady was dancing i with delight from the moment the de cision was given that made him for the second time a manager of a world's heavyweight champion. “JefTries is a corker.” he cried, "and there is not a man on earth that can J beat him. He's a wonder and no mis take. Bet them all come to him now, none of them can class with him.” Billy Delaney, Jeffries’ chief train er. wns beside himself with delight. He said: "I have again brought a champion beater from California and am nat urally proud of it. Fitzsimmons was beaten fair and square and although he put up a game fight my man had his measure taken from the moment he shaped for the first round.” Jim Daly ami Jack Jeffries had very little to say regarding their victory, but their good-natured faces were wreathed iu smiles and they looked upon Jeffries as a 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 new champion said: “Fltz fought a good and game battle and hit me harder than any man whom I have been up against. He can whip Sharkey in two rounds. I would guin nothing by meeting Sharkey again, but am willing to meet any man In the world In whom the public has confi dence and there will be no f«‘ar of my quitting the ring for the stage 1 will defend my title as champion at all times and against all comers. At no time during tonight's fight did I feel any misgiving as to my ubllity to win. I am satisfied that I have well earned the right to be called champion by beating Fitzsimmons, who was un doubtedly the greatest fighter of the age.” Jeffries and his party left for New York at midnight and will make the Vanderbilt hotel their headquarters. The detail of the rounds was as fol lows: Round 1—Both men met In center of ring. They feinted, with Fitzsim mons breaking ground, Jeffries keep ing almost In the center of the ring.
