Tboaa who beilerwl that 8harker could not flrht fairly, changed their opinion after tha bout had gona ona round. On th. other hand. Corbeit hit tha aailor In tha body rather low and Sharkey pro teated. Sbarkey'a qulckneea and aggraav too were aatooiahlnfroa tba very aa- glnnlng. and from the flret It waa evident that he had Corbet t .ale.

Round 1 The men fiddled lor leveral taconda and Corbett mad a left lead for tha head. Sharkey responded with the left and right In tha eame apot Corbett led agnln. Sharkey reaponded with a left, leading for tha head, which landed. Sharkey ripped In the left and right for the body with tome effect He kept fore In Corbett Into vartoua corner., punch, tng with rlKhl and h'tl on th body, which mrmixl to be his objective point. Cor bett feinted and tried to draw hi. man on. Sharkey waa a! way. ready with hi. left and right .wit,-, which Invariably landed on the body. Corbett f.Jled to I .how any of tha great cleverness with whlrh he had been credited. The round ended with Sharkey at his man. Round I Corbett, with hi left, landed lightly. Ha kept trying to push hla left Into Sharkey'a face, and tha sailor would come right bark with a awing for the body. He waa inclined to be a lrttle wild and waa frequently cautioned by O'Rourke, Ma chief aooond. Tom put out a atralght right on Corbetfa noae, which teemed to bring blood to that member. Sharkey put In a right hand smash on the Jaw, which sent Corbett down. He attempted to repeat the dose, but was foiled, aa Corbett clinched. The round oloaed wHh Sharkey all over hla man. Round I. Corbett led with his tight for tha body, landing. Sharkey responded In kind. Corbett reached the body sev eral times, but 8harkey came right back with lefts on the head. A right on the body ataggered him. Sharkey whipped over a tremenduous riKht-hand amash on the Jaw. Tho sailor's leads were Ineffec tive, his counters lielng tho blows which cut the figure. Corbott kept Jabbing lightly for tho hend and Sharkey came right back at him with right-hand smashes on tho wind. Round 4 The snllor was rlpht after his man and essayed lefts nnd rights for the head, landing each time. Corbett clinched and acted entirely on the defensive. Cor- ! bett led tho left for the head, landlnp on the neck, nnd Sharkey sent buck a hard right on the body. Corbott began then to do some punching-, and Jabbed his man at will, but at long range. Sharkey al ways had a counter ready. Corbett re. i pentedly led hl loft and damaged Shark i ey's faco considerably. Tho sailor, chased j his opponent Into the latter's corner and I received a series of Jabs for his action, i Round 6-Corbott started right oft with a left Jrtb In the face and was apparently attempting to fool wl:h his man. Sharkey however, was not in a playful mood ( and brought his right hand over with forco enough to make Corbett wince. Cor i b- tt bonked hl Vft rather low on Shnrk ry's body and lifted Sharkey off his feet. ' Corbett appeared to be a trine weary and ! his blows lacked steam, whereas there ( was a world of force behind Sharkey's blows. Round --Corhott led for th?..nvd with NINTH ROUND Ends in a Farce and Contest Through- Like a Fake. hla left, landing, hut Sharkey waa rUfbt after hJm Ilk a whirlwind. Sharkey r ted in to mix H op. and whipped In some corkers on th body. Corbett re taliated with Ilk. light Jabs on the fax, and fairly iorc(uL Midway through th round tbera waa a rattling mix-up, both exchanging left, and rights on th bead and body, wKh th. aailor having a shade the best ot It Ther wer cries of "foul, foul," when Corbett hK hla man In a breakaway, which t'te referee had not called. Tne men were clinched at th bell, af;tr participating In a very fast mix-uo. Round 7-8harkey ran across tha ring and planted teft and right on th body, Corbott clinching. Cot acted on the defenalve and seemed unable to withstand Sharkey", rushes. Tra Utter whipped In a beautiful left hook on tho wind and followed M up with a right on tba Jaw. Tha sailor kept dotns; all tha work and waa always ready t mix it up on th lbteat provocation. He alternately threw over the left and right on the bead anJ body, occasionally changtns; to left hooks on the wind, which wera slowly, but surely, attending to Corbetfi case. It was Sharkers flght so far. Th pace waa terrific. Round S-6harkey was first to lead, landlnc a left chop on th neck. They clinched frequently and th refere waa kept busy separating them. Tom tried a left chop Wow. which fell short, and Jlra Jabbed hla left bard on th nose. Sharkey sent a right straight on tha face, which mad Jim's head rock, but Jim waa ready with a left hook, which (rased Sharkay'a face. Both fought fast, ollnch Ing repeatedly. Jim hooked his right hard on Tom's Jaw, half daalnghlm. He quick ly recuperated and went back at his man, hammer and tongs. Round Corbeit landed with his left Tom went right back at th same mo ment Clinches were frenuent. Th. refuned to break togetner. Corbett then a truck Tom rather low on the body and the aailor annealed tn th Mrn Corbott shoved Tom from him and said: -on. you go away." Th man were In the center of the line, mlitnr it- un t th liveliest manner, O'Rourke oaiiing to ixm not t mind Corbetfa low hit.Mne Just at this moment for aoms nnimuint. able reason, McVey, one of Corbett's sec onds, jumped through the ropes, protest ing tnat narkey had done somethln Wrong to Corbett. The nmm..nf M-Vew climbed through the ropes Inspector Mc- ijiusnun graooea bold of him, while the crowd frantically yelWnl "foul, foul;" 'Vtl.or. lottos; 1 look at his second In the ring." Refereo Kelly seemed to pay no atten tion to the matter, out kept looking at tha fighters, who continued their ag gressive work. McVev tried to null u from the Inspector, while the spectators Kpc yelling at the referee, who Anally separated the fighters and ordered them to their corners. Corbet! seemed not to understand why the referee should In terfere, and protested, but Kelly was obdurate and stopped t Meanwhile the spectators stood up and yelled that bets should be declared off, as they believed McVey committed the breach of ring rules preroedltatedly. It looked for a while as if a riot would ensue, but as soon as the referee deorared Sharkey th winner on the WhnlceJIty he announced all bets off, as McVe'a action was un doubt edly prearranged. THE GREAT CROWD. Weeks ago, when seats were first put on sJe, shrewd people who lived quite a long distance from this city either wrote or wired for seats to be reserved, and by doing so saved themselves a lot of trouble en their arrival here. Today not a seat waa to be had at the club-house after 1 o'clock, and those Alio hud not made early provision had to pay exorbitant prices to wkleawake spec ulators. Tickets for seats In the Immedi ate vicinity of tho ring brought fabulous prices tonight The original cost of these seats wus $J0 each, but tonight twice that sum could not purchase one of them, and two seats brought $100 a piece. Other tickets, costing from $5 to 15, brought prices t-wo and three-fold, and the club management did not put any of the $3 admission tickets on sale. Anxious sports paid (5 and In many eases J8 for the prlv. Ilege of standing up at the extreme ends of the building. WAS A FAKE, PAYS FITZ.

When interviewed he aald: "I said all along the llht was going to be a fake, and tt was nothing but a fake, McVey Jumnod into the ring on purpose to stop the fight, and It was ail fixed with him to do It. What will you do In regard to any challenge that Sharkey or Corbett may send In your direction! "Do?" said FltEBlmtnons, with groat acorn, "I'll do nothing.

Sl-A dispatch to the H.rsJd from Washington says; Though eonfldant that hoetlUUM win not b resumed. Secretary Long has mads it a point sine th peace protocol was signed to place the nan of w.r w tha asrvlc tn th best possible condi tion. During the latter part of last wk Instructions w.r. sent to th command ants of the nary yards at which ships ar. undergoing rtpalra directing them to expedtt the completion of th vessels ia order that they might be la condi tion for Immediate us should derelop- opnients In th International situation require their ImrnerMate oss. Th department's attention was first directed to th battleships and armored cruisers, and as a result of the extra work put upon them they are w.U ad vanced ami some are ready for eerrlc. Th Indiana Is the only armor clad which la now undergone ex tonal r. re- pain, and in case of necessity overtim work would promptly place her In con dition to join th squadron to be sent to Spain. Secretary Long Ls now endeavoring to get the smaller vessels away from tha navy yards. Be has given Instructions to commandants of navy yards to rush th smaller cruiser and gunboats, which are wanted for service In Cuban and Porto Rlcan waters for patrol purpose. The decision not to use the old single turret ed monitors for service In southern waters has caused the officials to look around for more serviceable vessels, and th smaller cruiser and gunboats will be used for that purpose. It le author- Hatlvely stated that no overtime work has been authorised on any of the ships. exceptln the case of the Indiana, and this was only for a few hours each day. So far as th North Atlantlo squadron Is concerned, therefore, tt would not take long to mobilise a strong fleet The New York Is now at Hampton Roads, fully coaled and ready for sea,; the armored cruiser Brooklyn and the battleship Mas sachusetts, which are a New Tort, can sal within a very short time, and fh second class battleship Texas la having her propeller repaired. Besides these vessels, the department would probably arisen to a fleet to be sent abroad the cruiser New Orleans, which wHl be ready for service in the course of a few weeks several gunboats and a fleet of colliers.- The battleships Iowa and Oregon, which are at Rio, are also available for operations in Spanish waters, being bout the same distance from Spain as are 1 ships now at New Tork. Should hostilities be resumed. U Is expected that Secretary Long will again call together the naval war board, con sisting of Rear Admiral Slcard, Captain Crownlnshleld and Captain Mahan, Be fore the adjournment of the board olajts had been prepared for the dispatch of hear Admiral Sampson and a squadron under his command to the Spanish coast It was not contemplated last August that the Camtrles should be seised, but there Is reason to believe that If the peave negotiations are Interrupted with. the authorities will seriously consider the advisability of directing the capture of ;hese Islands. The withdrawal of the Spanish commis sioners from Paris would be the signal for the dispatch of Instructions to Rear Aii mini Sampson to come north on the gunbutit Topeka and resume duty as commander In chief of the North Atlantic squadron. It may be that as the result of an agreement between Spain and the United States, decided through the me dium of the French government, the pro tocol referring to the evacuation of Cuba would be carried out without molestation on the part of the American men of war. Rear Admiral Dewey would send hla vessels to destroy Spanish fortifications at Ilolto; troops would be transported to that point and the dry would be ooupled. With the fail ot this point, the last Span ish stronghold in the Philippines would have disappeared and It would be an easy task to station troops among th various Islands to protect American In terests. Besides the PPhUlpplnes, the American men of war would also hoist the flag over the Carolines. - It will be Impossible for Spain to pre vent the United States from carrying out its will, either In thk Atlantlo or In the far east In expectation of the arrival of the German emperor end for the pur. pose of Impressing him, as well as the people of Spain with the slxe of the rem nant of tho Spanish navy, Admiral Ca mora has been directed to mobllllze his ships at Cadis. There are now at that point the battle ship Pelayo, the armored cruiser Carlos V, the protected cruiser Alfonso XIII,, the reconstructed battleships Numancla and Victoria, besides torpedo-boat de stroyers and torpedo-boats. In tho Phil ippines Spain has several small gun boats and one auxiliary cruiser, the Buenos Ayres. Since the war the Spanish government has done nothing toward completing the armored cruisers of the Asturtas class, which are under construction, her neglect being due to the lack of funds. It is be cause she has no money and because of her total unpreparedness for war that the authorities do not believe tonight that there will be a resumption of hostilities and It is on account of this belief that no extensive preparations or plans are being mad. . ; .,.! . . - , . .. ,.

Nov. tt-A dispatch to the World from Puis ears: No on can forese what tbs eortes ww o, 'ira This was the answer of St nor OJeda, the principal secretary of the Spanish, oominlssion when asked If th America ultimatum will be accepted. flenor llootaro Bios, president of the Spanish commission, frowned as he lis tened to America's final note at the Joint session. When the reading was ended he aald curtly: "Bpala does not need until November S to answer. She will present her re ply tomorrow. In the oooununlcatlon rhs Cnked States refuses arbitration, but offers V0r 000.000 In gold for the Philippines, and such a sum ss may be agreed upon for a Island In the Carolina group, or enough land on a strong Island ther for a naval base and cable station. The American commissioners proposed to give Spain until November a to ac cept or reject these demands, which wer translated at the session In full by In terpreter Ferguson, but after iMontsro Rlos' Impatient remark about not need ing so much time, the Joint session was adjourned until Wednesday. It was reported Immediately after the session that Spain had determined to break off negotiations, but ths World correspondent's Information rather point to her giving notice on Wednesday that she accepts the American proposals un der protest. Spanish Secretary OJeda said to the World correspondent: "America proposes to pay 30,000,00 for the PhtltpplneB. W regard It as ridic ulously Insufficient, tn view of the fact that we raised 140,000,000 on th security of the Manila customs alone. 8h adds a promise that for a number of years not specified she will admit Spanish merchan dise and ships to ports on the same terms aa to merchandise and ships of the UnKed States. We regard this part of the proposal aa of very little. If any, value. This condition no doubt has been put m at the suggestion of England, not of Germany, for she ls favorable to Spain." When pressed for his opinion aa to ultimate action on the American de mands, be said: "It ls for the Spanish government to decide what to do. I do not see how we are to avoid yielding to them. We have no friends and apparently are helpless in the matter." "Is the queen regent in favor of ac cepting them?" "Personally no doubt Bbe Is," an swered Senor OJeda, "But she will be guided by the govern ment and the eortes and nobody can tell what the eortes will da I am not a politician and have no Idea." "If Spain accepts," the correspondent Inquired, "how long will the commission sitr "In that case," Senor OJeda responded, "there will only remain matters of detail to settle, for which seven or eight sittings would suffice. ' "Was there any reference In the Amer ican communication to the Cuban debt!" was asked. "None whatever," replied the secre tary, "but our answer next Wednesday or Thursday may refer to It No article of a treaty has yet been finally drawn." "Has America asked for on of the Carolines?'' "Yea She proposn to buy a small coaling station there." Senor OJeda'i demeanor waa that oi a man much depressed. The Spaniards were prepared for America's InaUrtence on the demand for the Philippines, but are surprised at the form of the latest proposition, which virtually ls ar ulti matum and at what they consider the Inadequate compensation offered, Senor Leon y Castillo, the Spanish am. baxsador nere, met with i aerloa cr rtege accident Mondav aRy.-nron in tha Champs Elyse.
