MANILA, P. 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.

GOOD HOPf TOR ARBITRATION.
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.

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*

Tha grant house Riled slowly, and It
was after 9 o'clock before the police
had to bestir themselves to clear the
aisles. 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.

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.
Jeffries was evidently trying to get
the fight over. Fltz led left to head,
but Jeffries ducked cleverly. Jeffries
led left and fell short. Again he led
a left swing for jaw, but Fltz was out
of the way. Jeffries tried right for
body and left for head, but Fitzsim
mons blocked and got away clean.
Fitzsimmons tried left, landing. They
came to a clinch, but broke clean. Jeff
ries tried a straight for jaw and did
not reach, and Fitzsimmons blocked
an attempt at a left hook, shooting his
left to the ear as the bell rang.
Round 2—Fitzsimmons in the mid
dle of the ring made Jeffries break
ground. Fitzsimmons sent left to
body. Jeffries countered with stiff left

but was neatly blocked. Jeffries then

in with his left, but was again blocked
and they came to a clinch. Jeffries
landed two lefts on body and shot the
left three times on Fitzsimmons’ fate
without a return. Fitzsimmons tried
right for heart, but was short and they
came to a clinch, the referee going be
tween them. Jeffries tried a left chop
for the head, but Fitzsimmons duck
ed safely. Jeffries tried a left swing
for the head and another for the body,
but Fitzsimmons ducked away from
him. Jeffries then knocked Fitzsim

left on the mouth. The champion was
up In two seconds, when the bell rang.
Round 3—Fitzsimmons looked very
determined when he came up for thi3
round, with Jeffries on the aggressive.
They clinched twice without doing
damage. Fitzsimmons tried a right
hook for the body, bu tfailed to land.It
was then seen tljaJ he was bleeding
from the nose. First blood claimed
for Jeffries. After another clinch

Jeffries’ body and repeated it three
times, coming to the center of the
ring. Fitzstmihons landed a left on
the ear. Jeffries came back with a
left hook on the side of the head and

heart by Fitzsimmons was answered
> by Jeffries with a left on the neck
and then Jeffries planted a heavy left

i his left to the Jaw. This was an even
: round.
