Gen eral Uulz nivera received them cordially , but gave them to understand Immediately tljat ho would not hear ot any proposition of peace not tending to the Independence of _ _ _ Cuba , and that , therefore , ho could only con- vr elder them as visitors to the camp.

Director Cheng has now obtained coutrol over all the Chinese railways at present In existence- and those about to bo construpled In the northern half ot China. The reason given by E. A. Satourer majesty's minister at Toklo , for Mrs. Carcw's reprieve Is that as the Japanese emperor was granting remission of sentence to native criminals on the occasion of the death of the empress dowager U was fitting that Mrs. Carow should bo reprieved and her sentence commuted to ono of penal servitude for life. It Is rumored that Mrs. Carow wrote to the minister , asking that the law take lt course , as she preferred death to Im prisonment for life.

DAN STUART AVERTS A ROW Acts as Peacemaker "Between the Two Oamps of Pugilists. ARRANGES FOR AN ARMISTICE TODAY IlciircNctitntlvcH of I'rlnclnnlN to Get ToKcthcr to Aicrce on Itiilc * ( or tlic fc'lKht RciinU ot ICIcIc l > r Pit * . CARSON CITY , Nov. , March 11. For A tlmo today it looked as though there would bo a regular row between the camps ot the fighters , regarding the Interpretation of the rules ot the ring made by Referee Slier yesterday. Dan Stuart , however , took matters - tors In hla own 'hands and In a short tlmo ho had managed to patch up a peace and avert the threatened storm. The main obstacle staclo In the way ot pulling oft the fight without n squabble was Fltzstmmons , who declared that ho did not llko the reading ot the rules made by Slier and that ho did not propose to Agree upon anything until ho and Corbett were In the ring. Stuart at ones ordered a carriage and drove out to Fltzslmmona' ranch , and had al talk with the lanky fighter. "Tho only thing for you to do , said Stuart , "Is to como to Borne agreement on this thing , and the sooner you do it , the better it will be for all concerned. What wo 'want , and all that Slier wants , is for you and Corbott to agree on something that will suit you both and something that will bo fair to you both. I suggest that one of your men and ono of Corbett's men meet at my office tomorrow afternoon and we can talk the matter over and see It some agree ment cannot bo reached. " "That suits mo , " replied Fltz. "I want nothing but what IB fair to both and If I have a man present when the agreement Is made that Is all I can ask. " He wanted to know how Corbett viewed the proposition for a conference , and when told that It was agreeabla to the champion , he again expressed .his . satisfaction. "I don't know , though , Dan , " ho said , "as though I will bo ready to enter the ring on the day agreed upon. " Stuart Is pale from his recent Illness , but he turned about three shades paler when be heard Fritz declare himself to this effect. "Why can't you ? What on earth Isi the matter with you ? " Stuart asked , anxiously. "Well , you see , " said Bob , "I have hurt one of mybands , and I do not think that I can possibly get Into shape to fight on the 17th. " Stuart's face fell several degrees , and Bob , nectng his distress , danced around the room like a schoolboy. ONLY A JOKE. "Ono must have some fun out of this country , " said Bob. "I was only fooling , Dan , and my hands and all the rest of nio are In the best sort of condition , and nobody will find that out better than Corbett when I SOQ him oul the 17th of March. " Stuart left Fitz with the positive assur ance that Fltz will be represented at the conference In his office tomorrow , and he set the hour at 3 o'clock. Tha consent of the Corbett people was obtained without any trouble. Fitz took It rather easy today , the prin cipal part of his work being a ten-mile run on the road in the morning. In the after noon he sparred ten rounds with Hlckey and Stelzencr , and wrestled a little with Roober and wound up his work by punching the bag. "I am not making any objections to the rules , as a whole , " said Fltzslmmons. "All I want Is to keep the other fellows from getting any advantage over me. I want an even show and nothing moro than that. I know that I can lick Corbott , and I will do it , If they do neb work any flno schemes on me. f "I am not going to say anything at pres ent , " eaid Corbett. "But the conference will settle things. I understand that Fltz Is kicking on the rules , just as I said ho would. I don't want to say anything until I know just what he objects to In particular. Ho may object to something that I consider very essential and again things with which he finds fault may bo trifling , and In that event , I do not wish to oppose any objec tions , no matter if they are morq , favorable to PJtz than to mo. All I care about is to keep Fltz from getting any undue ad vantage. I want nothing myself that I am not willing to concede to him , and there rs no use of my telling Slier that I agree to this thing or object to that thing until I know what Fltz Is making a kick about. If Fitz makes no complaint of Sller's con struction ot the- rules I will not , but It would be bad policy for me , at the present time , to agree to anything1 or abject to any thing until I know where the sore spot Is with Fltz. If ho is of the same opinion that am on things there will bo very little trouble , but Fritz Is a chronic kicker. " SILER IN BAD HUMOR. Referee Slier was not In the best humor today over the objections to his construction ol the Marquis of Queensberry rules that had come from Fltz's camp. "When I was In Chicago , " Slier said , "Fltz told mo ho had no objection to the construction of the rules that I have made , and that being the case , I cannot see how he can very well object to them at the pres ent tlmo. However , I did not rule ad I did for the purpose of considering what Fltz would llko or what Corbett would like , or what anybody else would like. I ruled ex actly as I thought was right and I will stick to my ruling. At the same time , \ wish It understood that I am not in the least i trying to dictate to the men. All I want Is an agreement of aomo sort , and as long as the men are suited , I don't care what r ' that agreement Is. I guess by the time the fight Is duo both men will reach an agree ment without trouble. " Slier received a number of telegrams from prominent sporting men all over the coun N try commending the construction ot the rules ho had made. Ono of them from Billy Madden in NewTork was s follows : "Your construction of the rules Is the same as that of Angell ; stick to It. " Angell Is the well known referee of London . and the acknowledged authority on all rlnt ; , events. Corbett's work today .consisted ot the regular run on the roads , the champion coverIng - . Ing about ten miles , with Jeffreys for a companion. In the afternoon ho punched the bag and sparred with his trainers. The report sent out from this place last 2 night to the effect that Corbett and Fltz slmmons had mot while out walking and had r. wordy quarrel Is a deliberate falsehood. r. ' They passed the penlto'itlary southwest of ' the town within ten minutes of each other , but they did not meet. Corbott did not see r. Fitzslminons , nor did Fltzslmmons see Cor r. bett.

They Are Mostly of Small Account , lint I'ONMCN * Sonic Good ShliiN. A recent number of the Poll Moll Gazette contains a description of the war ships of Greece and Turkey , as well as of the Mediter ranean fleets of other powers. The fleets of Greece has flvo armorclads. Two , the Basilicas Georglos and Baslllssa Olga , date back to 18G7 and 1869 , and are of 1,744 and 2,030 tons , with seven and six Inches of armor respectively and of twelve nnd ten knots. The former carries two 8.2 Inch and eight smaller pieces. But much larger and better are three sister ships , the Hydra , Psara and Speisal of 4,885 tons , dating back only to 1889-80 , with thirteen and one-half Inches of armor , of seventeen knots , and carrying the fine battery of three 10,6-Inch , flvo C-lnch and twenty smaller guns. Of the unarmored ships the chief ono Is the Mlanlls of 1,800 tons , about as heavy as our Yorktown , of fifteen knots and , carrying four 0-inch and six smaller guns. There are also available the Sfaktlrea , a steel transport carrying four guns ; the Kanarto , a torpedo depot ship , thrco mining vessels , three training ships and twelve old gun boats , ono of which , the Alphlos , mounting two guns. Is known to bo on the Cretan coast. The torpedo boats nominally number over fifty , but the chief ones for service are elx built at Stettin In 1885 , of nineteen knots and carrying four onc-poundcrs and six earlier Yarrow boats. Of Turkey's fleet , more Imposing on paper , this account : Is given : The Turkish fleet , though moro Imposing In appearance , Is not much superior In fact. It Is doubtful whether any of the once splen did squadron of Ironclads Is now in n stnto to go to sea. The engines are dilapidated , the boilers worn out , and there are no trained officers nnd rprn , Nominally there are four teen Ironclads available ; with few exceptions thcao are of the central battery typo , plated with armor six Inches to twelve Inches thick , and armed for the most part with old Krupps and Armstrong muzzle loaders. Ono battleship Is on the stocks , where she is likely to remain till the early years of the next century , or tbo advent of tlio Russians ; four moro are in the most leisurely way being altered and brought up to dato. If the Turks can find crows , such ships as the Mesoodleh might prove awkward nuts for the Greeks to crack. The Mosoodlch Is ot 9,000 tons , onca upon a time steamed twelve knots , carries 12-Inch and 9-lnch plating , and lo armed with twelve 10-Inch and three C-lnch guns. But no fleet Is of any value which does not occasionally go to sen , and the en gines of the Turkish Ironclads are only turned now and then In harbor. The Turk ish cruisers are about on a par with the Turkish battleships , a collection of antiquated , slow , and for the meat part wooden , ships. There are throe Jorpedo gunboats , the Nlmot. Polengl-derla and Shah ; In-doria , carrying 4-Inch and C-pounder guns , and steaming ( on paper ) 19 to 22 knots. The torpedo flotilla Is better than that of the Greeks , as It Includes two fairly .now de stroyers , steaming 25 and 23 knots ; six largo torpedo boats of 23 and 22 knots , built In Germany in 1889 and 1890 ; and nine largo 21-knot boats , besides ten of small size. Thesp boats , being newer and faster than the Greek craft , ore necessarily better. Of course , these rival fleets will not bo suffered to contend with each other. Any war in which they took part would bo likely to Involve ono or moro fleets ot far greater consequence Sl'ARROAVS RESCUE A SPAIIROW. The One Xeert of Help Cnnic Into IIU I'llKht Through Greeil. The English sparrow Is perhaps thu shrewdest bird going , and rarely ever gets caught In a scrape , says a writer In the Philadelphia Times. I saw ono literally In a tight place , though the other day , and but for the shrewdness of his friends would doubtless bo there now , or worse. A careless - less colored cook of the house adjoining mine had spilled some raw rice , perhaps a quart or more. In the back of my neigh bor's premises. In order to hldo her care lessness from her mistress , and so save herself the trouble of picking up tlio rice , the resourceful cook simply turned on empty box over the llttlo pile , thus putting It out ot sight , and went her way re joicing. Presently a bevy of sparrows chanced that way and took possession of my neighbor's back yard. l ro long an adventurous one of the number discovered a convenient knot hole In the overturned box , poked his In- qulsltlvo llttlo head therein and forthwith spread the news of the rice Mini. Then things were pretty lively thereabouts. First ono , and then another of the birds would pop down through tbo hole , to bob up a few moments later with his crop full of rice. They were all mighty gay over the matter , and meet of them made two or three trips Inside before they were satis- fled. fled.By By and by something seemed to bavo gene wrong. The hlrda fluttered and chlrpod and chattered In an agitated manner , crowdIng - Ing upon and about the box so thickly that It was some tlmo before I could see that ono llttlo brown head kept bobbing up franti cally through tlio knot hole from tbo under sldo and getting no further. Some greedy llttlo fellow had laid In an oversupply , and so made himself too big for an exit through the hole. Tlio case really seemed a pitiful ono , as nothing < but tlmo and the slow proccra of nature could relieve the poor prisoner of hl.i predicament. At leant that Is what I thought , and I marveled that so clover a creature as a uparrow should got himself Into a holo. Meantime I had forgotten to reckon upon the Ingenuity of the birds on thu ouUlilo of the hole. They lost no tlmu in bringing this qualification In evidence , liowuver , for pretty teen I discovered that they had s t to work to dig the llttlo prlc- onnr out. Having Holectod the moot vul nerable spot of the surrounding ground , first ono and then another of the birds would stratch and pc-ck away , each ono taking hla turn , and working energetically till by and by a hole was made big enough for even the overloaded fellow on the Inside to creep through.
