GREAT BATTLE IS DUE TO TAKE PLACE IN COREA. Jack Munroe is to fight Jim Jeffries in a twenty-round contest for the eavy-weight championship of the world and a $25,000 purse in San rancisco the last of next May, probably Decoration Day, May 30. The big miner, who earned the right for a fight with the champion by efeating Tom Sharkey in Philadelphia last Saturday night, and the tassive boilermaker were matched this afternoon, Jim Kennedy, the big sporting promoter representing the Yosemite thletic Club o. San Francisco, secured the match, CENNEDY RAISED BID. His first offer was a $20,000 purse, but this was refused by Billy Delaney, ho represented Jeffries at the conference. Then Kennedy raised his offer 1$25,000. and after a talk between Delaney and Munroe’s manager the purse ts accepted. The purse will be divided, 65 per cent. to the winner of the contest and i per cent to the loser. The principals will post forfeits of $5,000 each with Harry Corbett, of in Francisco, to bind the match. This is rather a large sum, but {t was sisted upon by Delaney, who claimed that Munroe had flunked out of a atch witi. the champion last fall when he had an opportunity to meet Jef- les in Los Angeles.

An order has been issued to the Japanese naval and army forces in the vicinity of Port Arthur to capture the stronghold an March 4 The repeated efforts of the Japanese to enter Port Arthur or to oll | the Russian vessels there have undoubtedly been inspired by the Jay belief that Port Arthur is necessary to them.
