The Span- | lards were moving at the rate of twelve | miles a day when the messengers left and at their present speed it is ex- pected they will reach Santiago de Cuba next Sunday, July 3. Admiral Sampson has ascertained | that Admiral Cervera's fleet has moved | into the upper harbor of Santiago de Cuba. General Shafter, in his dispatches to the Secretary of War, complimented the fleet for its assistance in the land- ing of troops. With the soldiers landing from the Yale yesterday and General Garcia’'s army transported from the westward 21,000 men in all have been disembarked in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba. Most important in connection with the foregoing Associated Press dispatch is the following special cable to The Call, published in yesterday’s issue of this paper: PPOPOP00000 000000 GG ARMY HEADQUARTERS, JURAGUA, June 27, by Call- Herald Dispatch Boat Golden Rod to Kingston, Jamalca, June 28.—Information has been recelved here from Manzanillo to the effect that five battalions of Spanish troops, which left that city several days ago to re- enforce General Linares, re turned to Manzanillo two days after their departure. This is by far the most import- ant news received to-day. It is regarded as Indicating the fail- ure of the Spanish attempt un- der command of General Pando to rush 10,000 trained troops to the defense of Santfago. 0009900090909 00000900060 ¢ POPPOPPPOPPOPOOOOOOEO S POPOCO00PPV00OOO©OOD The Associated Press cable states, on the authority of .two Cuban officers, that Pando left Manzanillo June 22.

The Victor Praised for His Coolness and the Absence of Foul Tactics in His Fighting. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June 29.—“Tom” Sharkey, the “Pride of the Navy,” as Billy Jordan is prone to introduce Sharkey to California audiences, put “Gus” Ruhlin, the Ohio Giant, out in almost record time in the arena of the Greater New York Athletic Club at | Coney Island to-night. Sharkey . won | after two minutes and seventeen sec- onds of fighting in the first round, a right hand swing on the jaw settling Ruhlin’s claims to the winner's share of the purse and heavyweight champion- ship ambitions. It was a fast fight and many hard blows were exchanged. It was clear the battle would be a short one. Ruhlin landed frequently and with force, but only once did he phease the sallor. Sharkey was remark- ably cool and self-possessed. He fought steadily and with good judg- ment. His tactics were fair and created a favorable imoression. The blow which knocked Ruhlin out was a terrific right hand punch on the jaw. Ruhlin staggered like a ship in a heavy storm and then pitched for- ward, falling heavily on his face., He tried to arise, but was unable to get on his feet, and was counted out. After :g‘euba.ttle Sharkey addressed the sports “Gentlemen: I am now prepared to make a match with Fitzsimmons, Cor- bledn or McCoy for a purse and $10,000 a side.” Sharkey received an ovation as he left the ring. -His victory over Ruhlin | reminded one of John L. Sullivan’s success when the famous Boston boy met and easily defeated all comers. Before the bout began to-night, An- nouncer John Dunn stated that Sharkey wanted it understood that, notwith- | fighter, he never | foul a | be a fair fighter in ths contest about to | begin. : L i | the betting at odds of 10 to 7. .

Tk erning th five rounds. was quite an argument between O’Rourke, representing Sharkey, and Madden, representing Ruhiin, over cer- tain features of the rules. Sharkey wanted it understood that hitting in the breakaway was permisible, while Huhlin wanted such a blow considered foul. He wanted to break clean after | a clinch. They finally decided not to hit in the breakaway. The referee then called the men to the center, the timers struck the bell and the contest which meant so much to the pugilistic future of both men was on. Ruhlin opened with a left swing on the wind. Sharkey sent back a left swing on the head. Ruhlin jabbed his left on the wind and jabbed his right on Ruhlin’s head. Ruhlin, after a couple of clinches, jabbed his left on the face and Sharkey swung right and left on the head. Ruhlin jabbed his left on the face twice and Sharkey swung right and left to the head, which stasgered Ruhlin. Then Sharkey, seeing his advantage, quickly swung his right across flush on Ruhlin's jaw, dropping the Ohio giant to the floor, where Ruhlin lay helpless while the referee counted ten seconds and then declared Sharkey the winner.

The officers are highly com- plimented for their dash and courage. The general says there is absolutely no warrant for the statement that our troops were ambuscaded. He says the attack was deliberately planned, from gn‘?wledge in his possession the night efore. S Sey Conflagration at Chino. CHINO, June 29.—Fire broke out in F. J.

Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission, OPPOSITION NOT CEASED Friends of Annexation Have Hopes. NEW POINTS TO BE RAISED PHASES THAT WILL PROVOKE FURTHER DEBATE. Number of Speeches Yet to Come, and Ample Time for Their Delivery Will Be Insisted Upon. Special Dispatch to The Call. £ Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, June 29, There is much talk of an early ad- journment in both houses of Congress, and some of the members have made arrangements to leave Washington upon the assumption that an adjourn- ment will be reached about July 9. A sudden collapse of the opposition to the annexation resolution in the Senate is hoped for next week by friends of the proposition, and they will use every ef- fort to force a conclusion of the dis- cussion. There has been nothing in the pro- ceedings this week, however, to indi- cate any substantial foundation for this belief. On the contrary it was declared to-day by members of the opposition that they are as determined as ever to prevent votes, if they can, and that in any event the debate will proceed un- interruptedly for two and possibly three weeks, and perhaps longer. There are to be discussed some phases of the annexation question that have not vet been touched upon, and which it is believed will have the effect of | provoking additional debate upon both sides’ of the chamber. One of these is of a character of the interests which are alleged to have been behind the original annexation movement. One or two of the Democratic Senators have made a study of these interests and will endeavor, it is said, to point out to the country the selfish motives that have actuated some of the annexationists. There are a number of speeches yet to come and anti-annexationists declare they will insist upon ample time for their delivery. When the joint resolution for annexa- tion was taken up in the Senate to-day Caffery was recognized to continue his speech in opposition to the resolution. He said, in reply to an inquiry by Teller, that the method by which Texas had been acquired was contrary to the constitution. He said the resolution of annexation was forced through by a partisan majority, just as it was now proposed to force through the Hawa- fian resolution, regardless of the fact that the admission could only be legit- imately accomplished by treaty. In concluding his speech Caffery again referred to the interest of the sugar trust in the pending resolution. “It has been said that the sugar trust is opposing the annexation of the Ha- wailan Islands” said he. “Now, if there is anything that is perfectly clear to me, it is that the sugar trust wants annexation. ' The charge that it is in any way opposing the annexation of the islands to my mind is not well sus- tained. What the sugar trust wants is raw cane sugar free of any duty, and annexation will give them the Hawa- iian product free. The sugar is brought to San Francisco and there refined by the trust. The refined product is not maa- in Hawall.” Caffery further maintained that the sugar trust controlled the market for raw sugar and that annexation would fasten firmly its hold upon the market in this countrv. At 5:05 p. m., Caffery having concluded, the Senate on mo- tion of Dayis, in charge of the resolu- tion, went into executive session and at 6 p. m. adjourned. TRANSFER OF COAL IS NOT PERMITTED Consul Darte Prevents a Violation of the Neutrality Laws at St. Pierre. Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 188, by James Gor. don Bennett. ST. PIERRE, Martinique, June 29.— The Spanish Consul has endeavored to obtain a transfer of coal from the British steamer Rembrance to the Alicante. United States Consul Darte entered a vigorous protest, and the Governor sald no transfer would be allowed. The steamer is awaiting orders here and may leave for Sant{ago soon. MURDER ENDS THEIR DISPUTE Fatal Fight in Salinas| Valley. | QUARREL-OF TWO RANCHERS EDWARD MILLS KILLED BY| TIMOTHY CRAIG. Shot When His Back Is Turned After | Having Worsted His Enemy in a Rough-and-Tumble Combat." Special Dispatch to The Call.. SALINAS, June 20.—TIl will, jealousy and -n old feud have culminated in a’| fatal shooting affray between two old | men, friends for several decades and | residents of this valley for some thirty- | five years. Timothy Craig, the slayer, | has seen 61 and his victim. Edward Mills, was 62 years old. Formerly good friends, quarrels over land and things not worth noticing made them bitter | enemies. o . From the testimony in the hands of District Attorney Zabala- Craig, on Thursday, June 14, at 6 o’clock in the morning, was driving a band of horses from Moss Landing ‘toward Pajaro, and while crossing the bridge over Elkhorn Slough, near the town of Castroville, saw Mills on the opposite end of the bridge. Mills afterward claimed he was shooting birds with &4 shotgun when he noticed Craig approach. An altercation ensued over the charge by Mills that Craig was pasturiag horses on Mills’ lot. The lie was passed and Mills, it is alleged, laid down his gun and announced himself ready to fight Craig with fists. A fierce struggle fol- lowed, during which Craig broke away from his opponent and. wrenched a picket from a fence close by. With this he struck Mills. Another scuffle re- sulted in Craig being disarmed and crying quits. Mills, having vanquished his neighbor, turned to go, when Craig picked up the loaded shotgun from the. grass and discharged it point blank at Mills, perforating the right side of his body and head with No. 7 shot. - After having shot Mills' Craig went home and Mills hurried for medical aid. It was then thought Mills was but slightly wounded and Craig, who was arrested for assault to murder, was re- leased on $1000 bonds to appear before the Superior Court. Mills was taken to the Watsonville Sanitarium and made comfortable, but owing to his habits and mode of life erysipelas set in and he died early this morning. Craig has been rearrested and charged wi’h i.urder. Craig claims he acted in self-defense. as he had re- peatadly been thrashed by Mills. Darcy Not Arrested. SALEM, Or., June 2).—The report last night of the arrest of W. J. Darcy in con- nection with the alleged forgery of elec- tion returps was erroneous. No complaint has been lodged against him. DEBTS OF THE PACIFIC ROADS Collection Provided for by Amendment. GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL AS PASSED IT CARRIES OVER TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS. Senator Morgan Attempts to Apply the Money Collected From Rail- roads to the Nicaraguar Canal. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, June 20.—In the Senate to-day consideration of the gen- eral deficiency bill was concluded and the measure was passed. An amend- ment of great importance was attached to the bill, practically by general con- sent. claims of the Government against the Pacific rallroads. It was offered by Morgan of Alabama, who made a strong appeal to the Senate for its adoption. Before it was agreed to, White of California proposed some amendments to it, making it even more binding upon the roads than it was in its original form. The amendment in full follows: That the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of the Interfor and the Attor-| ney General and their successors in office be and are hereby appointed a commis- slon with full power to settle the Indebt- edness to the Government growing out of the issue of bonds in ald of the construc- tion of the Central Pacific and Western ic bond-aided railroads, upon such s and in such manner as may be agreed upon by them or by a majority of them and the owners of said railroads. Provided, that any and all settlements thus made all be submitted in wrltmgi to the President for his approval or dis- approval, and unless approved by him shall not be bindin That said commission shall not agree to | accept a less sum in settlement of the | amount due the United States than the full amount of the principal and all| amounts nhecessary to reimburse the | United States for mwoneys paid for inter- est or otherwise. nd also providing lhat‘ sald commission are hereby empowered | to grant such time or times of payment | by installment and at such rates of inter- est, to be not less than 3 per centum per annum, payable semi-annually, and with | such security as said commission may | deem expedient, provided, however, that| in any settlement that may be made the final payment and full discharge of said indebtedness shall not be postponed to exceed ten vears, and the whole amount, principal and interest, shall be ]‘EI.“(\ in | equal svml-mxmudal installments ~ within | ic so limited, an Ix;xe::l;d?t shall be provided that if default | shall be made in any payment of either principal or interest or any part thereof, then the whole sum and all lnstallmefnsl principal and interest shall immediately | become due and payable, notwithstanding any other stipulatioh of said settlement. That there is hereby appropriated out of money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated the sum of $20,000 to defray the expenses of said commission in mak- ing the said settlement. The bill, as passed, carries about $227,000,000, the largest sum carried by any appropriation measure since the Civil War. Morgan's amendment as offered pro- vided for a commission to settle the in- debtedness of the Government growing out of its assistance in the construc- tion of Pacific railways, and pro\‘xdmg: further that the funds should be ap-| plied to the. construction of a ship} canal through Nicaragua. | Unanimous consent was given Mor- gan to make a statement the amendment. some length the existing situation be- tween the Government and Pacific rail- roads, he said it was evident that the Nicaragua canal was going to be built, and be built very soon. When the Sen- ate had carefully considered the matter he was satisfied not a half dozen votes would be cast against the canal pro- ject. .The people of the United States had discovered that a waterway through Nicaragua was absolutely nec- essary to this country as a protection of our coasts and as a promoter of concerning | ‘commerce. Morgan referred to the fact that the Atlas Company, ‘a British organization, had been granted by Nicaragua im- portant concessions in the San Juan River and Lake Managua. This com- pany, he said, was composed of promi- nent and wealthy men of England and the United States. He did not-doubt that the Atlas Company expected to receive the concession which the United States was about to lose through delay in taking action. Morgan urged that immediateaction should be taken by Congress upon the canal project which he regarded as one of the most important questions that has confronted Congress for many years. In conclusion Morgan, in order to escape the Loint of order against the amendment, withdrew that part of it relating to the Nicaragua canal. ‘Wilson of Washington, a member of the special committee on the Nicaragua canal, objected. He said that the con- struction of the canal was so vitally important to his State and to the Pa- cific Coast generally that he could not consent that the amendment should be divided. He then made a point of order agajnst the amendment and the point was sustained by the chair. The bill was reported to the Senate and about to be passed when Wilson withdrew his point of order against the first part of Morgan’s amendment. The amendment, with some modifications offered by White of California, was agreed to. The bill as amended was then passed without division. MEN! to every part of the body.
