He was convicted of the crime and sent to the House of Correction for eighteen months. On the night of May 1, 1892, he and a companion entered the telegraph office at Sutter and Leavenworth streets and held up the night clerk. They both wore masks and were armed with re- volvers.

After All the Fuss and Talk There Is Yet a Prospect of a Fight Between the Two Heavyweights. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—There were.a few more developments to-day in the controversy between James J. Corbett and “Kid” McCoy relative to the divis- jon of the purse money offered by the Hawthorne Athletic Club of Buffalo for a glove contest. It was McCoy’s day for statement making, and he and his manager, William B. Gre— availed themselves of the opportunity. In reply to Corbett's charge, Gray sald that Corbett was the person who had insisted upon the purse money being divided, and had he (Gray) not agreed to a division, Cor- bett would have refused to sign the articles. Gray followed up the state- ment by going before a notary public and swearing to its truthfulness. ‘When George Considine, manager for Corbett, was told of the contents of Gray’s statement on behalf of McCoy, he smiled and said: “They have a lot of nerve, and Gray's statement is false in every particular.” “Corbett,” he continued, “is wiling to fight McCoy. He admits receiving $2000 advance money from the Hawthorne Athletic Club, and is willing to keep | faith with that organization. He will be at the place appointed by the club on October 15. He will only agree to box McCoy on condition that the win- ner takes all the purse money of $20,000, and that no pictures of the fight are taken. He will sign new articles to this effect at once.” When informed of Considine’s state- a sealskin saccue.

She has no reason to expect that our commission- ers will agree to any proposition which contemplates the continuation of Span- h control over any part or all of the roups. I feel confident that we will have no further trouble in an armed way with Spain. The only obstacle with which we may have to contend is the opposition of the insurgents to our plans. It is not at all certain, of course, that we will encounter any such obstacles, though it is assuredly among the probabilities. However, from what I have read of the misslon of Agon- cillo, the personal representative of Agulnaldo, the insurgent chieftain, we may find the Filipinos tractable and willing to accept whatever form of gov- ernment we il finally decide upon, so long as Spain will have no hand in Its administration.” Regarding the reports which come from Parls that one of Spain’s proposi- tions to our commissioners will be that the United States pay her $400,000,000 for the relinquishment of the Philip- pines, Senator Hanna said, signifi- | cantly: ““We are not paying morey for or buying territory which we now con- trol.” ¢ S R PROGRESS OF TH PEACE COMMISSION PARIS, Sept. 30.—The United States Peace Commission has taken posses- slon of its working quarters, a suite of seven rooms on the ground floor of the Hotel Continental, at the corner of the Rue de Rivoll and the Rue Royal, com- manding the Tulllerfes Gardens and formerly used by the ex-Empress Eu- genie. Ameritan flags drape the en- trance of the FPeace Commission's apartments. The American Commission held its usual session this morning. It is be- lieved the commissioners are carefuily “statistizing” the plans and arranging all the details of the work which will be taken up when the commissions be- gin their joint sessions. The Spanish Commissioners formally deny the various interviews and puu-] | most satisfactory impression from the |PORTO RICO WILL BE graphs published purporting to be the substance of their instructions, which ha The | Commission said to the representative of the Asso- ciated Press with the American dele- gation: “No mewber of our commission has | given an interview, and all which has appeared in print as to our inst.@ctions | is false. We are here to defend our- | selves and naturally we are not will- | ing to give any of our weapons to our | opponents.” —_———— |ADVOCATES GIVING UP THE PHILIPPINES to The Ca!l and the New York Special dispa yrighted, 1898, by James Gor- Herald don Bennett MADRID, Sept. 30.—Senor Montero Rios telegraphed to-day to Senor Sa- gasta, saying that he had received a tch Ce attitude of the American Peace Com- miseioners. The Nacional to-day strikes a note which reflects the sentiment of the most serious men here. It boldly advo- cates Spain's giving up the Philippines. This attitude now is taken by many of the leading papers throughout the country. At the same time the Govern- ment holds 8000 men ready to send to the Philippines. The Minister of State to-day lament- ed ‘before the Queen the fact that cer- tain papers were in favor of the cession of the Philippines. The Minister of State considers that Spain should maintain her sovereignty over the en- tire Archipelago, and in such spirit the Spanish delegates at the conference are inspired. - OCCUPIED-BEFORE CUBA | WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—The Cab- | inet meeting to-day was devoted large- | Iy to matters of detall in connection with the formatinn of the army which | 1s to be sent to Cuba. It is understood | that the movement of the troops will | be begun about October 15. The con- duct of the Spanish customs officers at Havana is very unsatisfactory to the | President, and it s said to have been decided to take possession of the cus- | tom house there at an early date. In- | formation has reached the President | that the Spanish authorities at San lJunn rec v took possession of and sent to Spain about $40,000 belonging | to an association of school teachers. This matter has been the subject of a | protest sent to Spain. It is said to be the purpose of this Government to com- pel its return, if possible, and if this is not done vigorous measures will be taken to collect it from the persons responsible for its misappropriation. The instructions given to the two commissions now sitting in the West Indies provide, it 1s stated, for the actual occupation of Porto Rico in ad- vance of Cuba. WARSHIPS HELD RZADY FOR A DEMONSTRATION NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—A Washing- ton- special to the Herald says: The Secretary of the Navy has directed that all of the warships now in service be retained in commission. The adminis- | tration proposes to be in a position to | dispatch to the coast of Spain a for- midable squadron if it should become necessary to compel a compliance with the demands of this Government. A\ ———- [PLANS OF SPAIN FOR EVACUATING CUBA Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1895, by James Gor- don Bennett. HAVANA, Sept. 20.—At a meetine of the Spanish Commission last night it was decided to send to-morrow a reply | to the note of evacuation. After much discussion the Spanish Commission de- cided not to name a date, as they were expected to do, but insist on the dates of the beginning and evacuation of | Cuba as contained in the first reply to | the American demands. In explaining the change of plan, a member of the Spanish Commission said to me to-day: “A joint session of the commission Is now necessary and will be held within a few days. We can then explain 1o the Americans all the difficulties of sending the entire army in Cuba back to Spain. We think we can prove to them that it is far better to name a sufficient time in which we are abso- lutelv certain we can perform our con- ‘ract and complete evacuation than to accept a shorter and earlier period at the end of which it might seem that we | ment, Gray said that new articles were not necessary.
