McCoy good and hard in the tenth
round of what was to have been a twenty
ronnd battle, and by so doing the Irish-
American forged his way so positively
and undeutiably to the front rank that
Fitzsimmons must now consider the
sailor pugilist’s claim without delay.
Sharkey tonight was a revelation to
those who saw him a couple of years
ago. His wring work and generalship
were so vastly superior to his exhibi-
tions when he first came to the east as a
fighter that the improvement, was almost
iucredible.
Great bunches of muscle, with un-
limited confidence and a cool head, are
the qualifications which have enabled
Sharkey to fight his way to the front
rank of heavyweight pugilists, and no
one, not even MoOoy. who suffered-de-
feat at his ■ hands tonight, denies the
full measure of praise that is due to the
Irishman.
McCoy's marvelous foot work and
that long left jab with which he put so
many of his opponents to sleep are two
factors in his make-up that must always
appeal to admirers of the fistic art He
used every artifice known to the ad-
vanced school of pugilism in his con-
test tonight and bis defeat must not be
attributed to any lack of close study on
his part of every trick in the boxing
game.
Many of his friends feel tonight he
oniiht to have gone up against smaller
game than Sharkey.
When McCoy sent Sharkey twice to
the floor iu the third ronnd no one
doubted the Kid's ability to hit hard,
and many thought he had Sharkey at
his mercy, This idea was soon dispell-
ed when the Irishman began to get to
his man.
Over 8000 people witnessed the fight.
FIRST PRELIMINAY.
Carter and Strauss fought like two
washerwomen. Carter hammered the
wind hard in the first two rounds and
swung bis left on head. Strauss dis-
played a signal of distress, but rallied
and smashed Carter on the month stag-
gering him with a right on the jaw.
The third was a savage mix np from the
start and Carter was fought down at
the close. The fourth and fifth were
slugged and rough throughout, Carter
beiug called down for repeated foul-
ing. Carter continued his unfair work
in the sixth and after one minute and
thirty-six seconds elapsed Referee
White stopped the bout and gave the
decision to Strauss on fouls.
SECOND PRELIMINARY.
The Brooklyn chap was the cleverest
of the pair, and the aggressor for
the first three rounds. He paid at-
tention to the stomach, occasionally
lifting the left to the head, Broad
countering at each lead. In the fourth
and right on face. The gong sounds
while Sharkey is vainly trying to reach
his man.
Fourth round Kid shoots left to
month aud runs away and feints right,
and Tom laughs. Kid puts left on eye
and right hook to jaw. Sharkey grins
at him. Sharkey misses left swing
Kid jabbing nose. Tom puts right un-
der arm and Kid jabs left and right on
head. Tom lands left on shoulder and
misses left swing. Kid smashing face
with left and right, goes to wind, Tom
slugs ribs, Kid left to eye. Tom wal-
loping right and left on ribs, sparring
at close range.

Washington. Jan. 10 —it can be-
stated on authority that such news as
has been received today from General
Otis is rather reassnriug than otherwise
as to the situation in the Philippines,
iu that be made no allnsion to a hostile
collision. He has been instructed to
use gentleness in dealing with the in-
surgents and advise and co-operate
with Admiral Dewey.
There is no reason to believe that the
present situation may be protracted
any longer than would naturally be ex
pected and there will be no open hostil-
ities immediately, if at all. The ques-
tion has arisen here as to the exact
purpose to be served in attempting to
seize Iloilo. Originally it was intended
to release the Spanish force there be-
sieged, but by their evacuation of the

Kid aud jabs at long range. Tom’s left
on jaw sends Kid to the ropes, Tom
still rushing plants left again on head
and they clinch. Tom puts left on

lands right on stomach, then uppercuts
stiffly with right, reaching chiu. Sharkey
crowding him to the ropes and upper-
outs the Kid with right. Both appear
to lose speed Suddenly the Kid shoots
left to eye and they are dragging each
other.
Eighth round—opens with a clinch
and hugging. Tom's left for wind is
stopped, Kid jabs twice with left. Kid
now attends to the stomach landing
two lefts. Kid jabs the eye twice al-
most closing one of the sailors optics.

compelled to break them. Tom is very
tired and the kid uppercuts him with
right. Tom lands hard left on kid’s
stomach and McCoy reels Tom lauds

falls in agony and takes the limit to
rise. When he is up he goes for Tom
putting right and left on head Sharkey

Meanwhile the navy is expected to
draw a cordon around the island of
Panay and also Luzon, should it be
deemed necessary to do so, to prevent a
further supply of arms and munitions

London, Jan, 10—The Manila cor-
respondent of the Morning Post, says:
"There was an important conference
last evening between the duly author-
ized American and Filipino committees,

ter appointed General Flores, Colonel
Aqnilles and Senor Torres. Major Gen-

Sensational DI*cU>Hur«H Promised.
Hong Kong, .Jan, 10—The Filipino
committee has broken off all relations
with United States Consul Wildman.
'file committee today issued a writ to
the supreme court to recover $47,000,
which the Filipinos claim to have de-
posited with Wildman as treasurer of
the Filippino independence fund iu
June last.
Members of the committee further al-
lege that sensational disclosures are
probable, showing, they add, that the
American government recognized the
Filipinos as belligerents by affording
them assistance, arms and moral in-
fluence to co-operate against Spain,
thus endorsing the agreement made
with Agninaldo at Singapor e in April.
