The speech attracted very little attention either on the floor or in the galieries.

Morgan went on to discuss the condi- tion of Americans sentenced to death in Cubd on account of their connection with the Compezitor, and spoke of the United Siates standing by and witnessing that iragedy because interierence would be perilous and injurious to certain business interests. 1i the United States were to intervene at all he would prefer open war. Ana he would vote for a resolution to that effect, his justification being the law of nations as ne understood it and the feeling he entertained for those who lifted up their appealing hands and called for help against appalling cruelty and misrule. No State in Spanish America has been forced to endure such oppression, in peace and war, a3 ithe President’s message had justly charged to Spanish rule in Cuba. The United States had no alternative but the choice between the continuous repeti- tion of terrible evils practiced by the Spanish or a base humiliation and cruel while rapine and destruction were rampant. He hoped that some fortunate urn in events might relieve the United States from a duty it owed to Christian | civilization. At the conclusion of Mr. Morgan’s speech, which was read from manuscript, the resolution was agreed to. b i s CUBA ACT. FRIENDS OF The Newly-Formed League Issues an Ap- peal to New Yorkers.

Failing in her efforts 1o suppress the people of Cuba in thelr struggle for liverty by the ordi- ‘ary methods employed by civilized Wations in warfare, she must needs resort to treachery 2ud bribery to accomplish by trick and stealth whather impotent army and incompetent gen- erals failed to accomplish by arms. We call your attention to the dastardly mur- der of that gallunt leader of the Cuban people, General Maceo, inveigied into ambush under ie flag of trace and there with his compan- s foully murdered. That is the latest ac- complishment of Spain. Can we, as citizens of the United States, stand by and let this crime vass by unnoticed? Shall- we let the ghoulish glee of the Spanish people at their own Infamy go unrebuked? Or shall we sct in accord with the traditions of our country and extend a helping hand to the struggling conceded to be the finest hunting grounds in the State.

Telephonic reports received this evening from South Island station, which is five miles distant from the preserves, are to the effect that the party killed some sixty-five fine mallards, twenty-eight of which were brought down by the President’s own shots. To-morrow the party will be given the pleasure of a deer-drive, which has been arranged for them by General Miller and Captain W. Miles Hazzard.

Seward & Co. of this city, which is threatened with violence if she attempts to enter the port of Valencia, Spain, be- cause she 1s alleged to have been engaged in filibustering operations some time ago, promises to develop an international con- troversy regarding the neutrality laws and to possibly strain the peacefu! rela- tions existing between the United States and Spain. R. A. Tucker of Seward & Co. went to Washington to-day to see Secretary Oiney | and supplement a letter he sent to the | Secretary last night by a personal appeal for protection for the steamer. In his letter 10 tne Becretary Mr. Tucker ex- plained his firm’s connection with the Laurada, and stated that she had been or- dered to Valencia on a purely business mission and not to create a disturbance. g WAS NOT MUEBDER, Spain’s War Minister Declares Macro Tas Slain in Battle.

COLUMBUS, Onio, Dzc. 15.—The Even- ing Press in its issue to-day calls a meet- ing of citizens on next Friday evening to take action on behalf of the Cuban pa- triots in their struggie for freedom. The Press also printsa very strong letter from Profssor C. B. Galbreath, State Librarian, an intense Cuban sympathizer who has been in correspondence with the Cuban Junta in New York for several wecks, The following are a few of the vigorous sentences used by Professor Gal- breath: *'For many months we have been confronted by an extraordinary condition of affairs. Stripped of all subterfuges and apologies these are the naked facts, An American island community, almost within sicht of our shores, is dedicated to rapine and butchery.

MADRID, Spary, Dec. 15.—A dispatch to the Imparcial from Manila, the capitat of the Philippine Islands, says that the rebellion in those islands is spreading and bands of insurgents infest the outskirts of the city of Manila. Advices from the Carolina and Canary islands say that ris- ings are imminent there. T 1 yesterday decided to purchase the English transport steamer Prince of Wales in order to expedite the transportation of troops to Manila, and it was also decided to purchase a complete equipment of rifles for the troops. Additional advices from Manila say that the ‘natives of the island of Mindanao have revolted and the insurgents have been joined by numbers of deserters from the native troops. The insurgents, who are numerous around Manila, are becom- ing very bold, often approaching near enough to the town to fire 1uto it. The situation is admitted to be very grave at Manila and is equally bad at Cavite, where 150 prisoners revolted, killed six soldiers, seized a quantity of arms and tried to incite the native inhab- itants to attack the garrison. The revolt- ers were frustrated, however, and the gar- rison shot the rebelsdown in the streets. During the night there was a general mas- sacre of rebels and on the following morn- ing many of the revolting prisoners were recaptured and shot. AT mlne Zos Angeles in Line.

WASHINQTON, D. C., Dec. 15.—~Woodman (R.) of Illinoisintroduced in the House to-day a joint resolution *‘direct~ ing the President to act in Cuban affairs,” as follows: “Wuereas, The people of the United States have learned with profound sorrow of the murder of General Maceo, second in command of the armies of the Republic of Cuba, and the murder of the members of his staff by a detachment of Spanish troops, while General Maceo and his staff were keeping an appointment for conference under a flag of truce; and *'WnerEas, The war of extermination carried on by the Spanish Government against the Cuban republic, with its murders, its assassinations, its outrages of women, its treachery, its cruelty, being entirely opposed to the rules of civilized warfare and a disgrace to civilization; and “WaEerEAs, The proximity of the 1sland of Caba to the United States, and the interests and lives of American citizens being in jeopardy, and the almost universal feeling in the minds of the people of the United States that such manner of warfare should cease; and ““Wuereas, The President having failed to carry out the wishes of the people of the United States as expressed ny their Senators and Representatives in Congress, but on the contrary, having in his annual message submitted to Congress on the seventh day of December, 18%. given no adequate idea of intention to carry out the will of the people, but making an argument in favor of Spunish butchers on the island of Cuba and in support of the allezed honor of the Spanish nation; and “WaEress, The situation having reached a stage where the honor of the United States is at stake, where the continu- ance of such crimes and bratalities within such close proximity to our shorescannot be borne, and especially as the history of Spanish military operations gives no precedent on which to base a hope of change to compliance with the rules of civil- ization and of civilized warfare; therefore, be it **Resolved.

IT WAS AN UNLAWFUL FIGHT. Proceedings in the Sharkey-Fitz;im- mons Case — Co'onel Kowa'sky Refers to Earp’s Howitz:r. ‘Wyatt Earp yesterday exposed some of the fake methods employed by that sensa- tional and utterly unreliable journal, the “Long Green’' Examiner, when he went on the witness-stand and declared under oath that he had never written anything about the fight for that or any other news- paper, and that he had never given a re- vorter an interview. It will be remembered thatthe Examiner published what purported to be a half- eolumn statement from Earp about the figbt over Earp’s signature. William Greer Harrison and others were catled to prove that the prize-fight between Sharkey and Fitzsimmons was not a prize- fight but a gentlemanly glove contest *‘for points,” some of the ‘“points” involving broken ribs, smashed noses, blackened eyes and the knocking of one of the gen- tlemanly contestants into a state of coma guaranteed to last at least ten seconds. General Barnes announced tnat on Thursday morning he would move for a dismissal of the complaint and the injunc- tion on the ground that the contest was a fight for a prize and not a kindergarten game. One of the main bluffs made by Mr. Bad Man Earp during his examination was that Chief Clerk Clough of the Baldwin Hotel would not testify that be, Earp, bad called at the hotel the day after the battle and had asked to see Fitzsimmons. Earp was particularly strong in his denial of this point, just as he was in other points where he stands alone as against the sworn testimony of many witnesses. But, in this Clough matter, the chief clerk of the Baldwin gives Earp the lie in & way most unequivocal. “Earp has been coming here almost @aily for his mail.’”’ Mr. Clough stated last pight to an assemblage of attorneys and newspaper men. “The morning after the fight he came in, got some letters and telegramsand asked me if Fitzsimmons was around. The latter was in the cafe, and I suggested that he send him his card. Earp did not wish to do this, but came around a second time asking if Mr. Fitzsimmons had yet come out. It was evident Earp wanted to see Fitzsimmons, but did not care to meet him in the cafe. Finally he walked away.’’ This statement made by Mr. Clough, a man of unquestioned integrity, and a hotel man of most favorabie renown for the past twenty years, stands now against the denial of Wyatt Earp, the gun-fighter and border ruffian, the bodyguard of “Long Green” Andy Lawrence. Mr. Clough is to make his sworn state- ment to the Commissioner in regard to this matter, and, at the outcome of the whole matter, Wyatt Earp will be brought up with a round turn by the Grand Jury on an indictment for perjury. The prosecution is particularly anxious te see the Sharkey faction place “Dr.”” B. B. Lee on the stand. This alleged physi- cian is credited with having bzen either paid or promised $1000 for his services to Sharkey. . Yesterday afternoon Attorney Kowal- sky and Martin Julian were closeted with Captain Lees of the detective force, to whom they disclosed some of the evidence they had against Dr. Lee. In return they asked for the police’s record of Lee in the matter of Matheny, the associate of a burglar killed in Oakland a couple of years ago while robbing a saloon. *Dr.” Lee came to the front.in that case and tried to prove an alibi for Matheny, who he claimed was with him in Sausalito on the night of the Oakland tragedy. In another case “Dr.” Lee again at- tempted to sssist a criminal with an alibi, and again he was exposed. Long Green’s latest exploit in attempt- ing to browbeat the Tufts-Lyons baseball team of Los Angeles has aroused great indignation in Southern California. A dispatch published elsewhere in this pa- per exposes the contemptible smallness of soul and the petty meanness of the lead- ing spirit of the Exuminer. Manager Lynch resnmed the stand yes- terday morning and was asked by Mr. Kowalsky whether he had any special privileges accorded him by the club. He replied that he had not received any, ex- cept such privileges s were usunally ac- corded to the managers of pugilists, He explained further that when he took charge of the door of the Pavilion he did 8o at the request of Mr. Groom of the ath- letic club and acted as doorkeeper until Sharkey arrived. This line of examina- tion was as 10 Lynch’s supposed connec- tion with the National Athletic Ciub. On the preceding day L¥ach swore that the bet he had made on Sharkey was the smallest he had ever made on a prize- fight. Yesterday, in response to a similar question, | e said that it was a smaller bet than any he had made before on Sharkey. He admitted in answer to a direct ques- tion that he had a pool ticket for $1400 at odds of $1000 to $400, his wager being $400 on Sharkey, but that was nearly a week before the fight. His money was placed with Henry Harris. . The witness was asked as to the certifi- cate of deposit, and he.replied that it was made ply;nhle to James Chesley, who in- dorsed it payable to Wyatt Earp. The certificate was handed to Earp in the. ring by Police Captain Wittman. Lynch was positive that Earp did not indorse the certificate in the ring, and that it was in- dorsed at the Anglo-Californian Bank. An important fact was drawn from the Him. witness at this point, and that was that Earp did not deliver the certificate of de- posit to him or Sharkey on the night of the fight, but took 1t home with him, so that he had it in his possession when Lynch called on Earp at his residence the next morning. Mr. Kowalsky then inquired as to Lynch’s reputation as a horsem an and asked whethar any of his entries had been refused at the Bay District raceirack within the last tew years, but an ob jection was raised by Mr. Barnes, who remarked at the same time: “Lf we have gotto try horse-racing as well as prize-fighting we will never get through with this case. We will next get down to cock-fighting.” *‘At which you are an expert,” re- marked Mr. Kowalsky. “Yes, was the retort, I bave watched you many a time.” The objection was sustained and Mr, Lynch was alicwed to escape from the stand. . Thomas Sharkey, whose cauliflower ear had been reduced to its normal propor- tions, was cailed by Mr. Barnes and, after giving his age at vears, denied every statement made by Smith and Allen as to his arrangement with Earp to have the decision made in his favor. He denied that he had put up $2500 for himself and $2500 for Fitzsimmons to inoure their ap- pearance in the ring, or that he had made any statements to that effect, or that he knew of any fraud in connection with the fight whatever. He had gone through a severe course of training for five weeks, running twelve miles everv morning by way of a bracer, and punching the bag and his trainer. Sharkey described the disabling blow he received as follows: ‘““He gave me a left-hand jab in the mouth. Then he feinted with his left and sent his right hand across my head. I | jumped back and he sent his left hand | and hit me in the groin. AsI was falling [ he hit me in the jaw. I was notinsensible at any time.” It appears that none of the Sharkey crowd were acquainted with Dr. Lee. Sharkey swore that he didn’t know him and that he had noidea who had sent for him. Dr. Leedressed the wound in the groin and then Dr. Ragan arrived on the scene. In conclusion, Sharkey said that he had had no voice whatever in the se- lection of the referee. B. Benjamin, sporting editor of the Chronicle, was ecalled by Mr. Kowalsky. He swore that on Tuesday, December 1, he asked Lynch as to when a meeting ‘would be held with regard to the selection of a referee. Lynch revlied that they would meet on the next day, the dav of the fight, but he (Lynch) did not think there was any prospect of their agreeing. Lynch said also that he had bet $400 on Sharkey against $1000, with a bookmaker named Harris, a few days before. The witness was in the press stand and was busy writing from the dictation of Al King. He saw Sharkey fall down, but did not see the blow that fellea him, because Fitzsimmons’ back was toward the press- stand and obstructed the view. Sharkey was then recalled for cross-ex- amination by Mr. Kowalsky and was asked as to whether any of his money was in the $10,000 purse or whether he hnd any money bet on the result. On being asked whether Dr. Lee in making his examination had struck him as hard as Fitzsimmons had hit him, Sharkey replied that such was not the-fact, whereupon Mr. Kowalsky asked why then had Sharkey yelled with pain under Dr. Lee’s examination when he did not yeil at the time he was struck by Fitzsimmons. This question raised a buzz throughout the courtroom and Sharkey in a besitating manner replied that hedid groan ‘‘a bit when lying on the floor of the ring. Mr. Kowalsky inquired whether Sharkey did not know that Dr. Lee was the witness who proved an alibi for burglar Lou Matheny, charged with murdering a po- liceman in Oakland. Sharkey replied that he did not know Dr. Lee, but that Math- eny once visited his training headquarters with Dinny Needham and he was then introduced to Matbeny. The witness swore that he never saw Earp before sie saw him in the ring on the night of the ficht. He was better ac- quainted with Dr. Lee, because Dr. Lee and Dr. Ragan were still treating him for his injuries. With reference 1o Lynch’s report of his intervew with Hiram Cook the witness said that Lynch said that Cook was an honest man and would be a good referee. Everrbody who had been rununing with Fitzsimmons and betting on him had been advising Sharkey to take Cook as referee, and besides, Cook had gone over to Sausa- lito to visit Fitzsimmons. “Then,” inquired Mr. Kowalsky, “‘when ou heard that Wyatt Earp had visitea {‘ilzaimmons at his headquarters you didn’t object to Mr. Earp as referee ?"’ “No, sir.” “And you had never heard of Earp be- fore?” +No, sir.” The witness denied also, in answer to questions, that he had sent his bosom triend Madden to Fitzsimmons with a proposition to give Fitzsimmous $500 if he would agree to Madden as a referee. He denied aiso that he knew that Madden wanted to act as one of Fitzsimmon's seconds. As to hisyelling with pain.under the examination made by the physicians on the afternoon of the day succeeding the fight Sharkey said: “I didn’t holler loud. I'm too game to holler loud,” “Q, you are, are you?’ sneered Kow- alsky. “Then why did you holler loud when Dr. Lee examined you?” . Sharkey explained that at that time he was very sore. After denying that Dr. Lee had used a hypodermic syringe or bad made any incision with a knife, the witness admitted that Dr. Lee had used iodine on Friday, the second day after the fight. Trainer Smith’s statercent that Sharkey bad-got up cut'of bed and smoked a cigar was positively denied by Sharkey.
