"People have questioned Jeffries' sincerity In retiring from the ring originally. I am in a position to know that when he passed up the title six years ago it was with no thought of ever again fighting, but now that he is back into the game, his whole heart is sot on winning that title back. Jeffries never made big money out of the ring or the stage until last year, and now because he Is dealing with business men, and making tho most of his opportunities, a whole string of men with grouches against him have organized tho knockers' club."

The authorities have been compelled to resort again to stonily repressive measures to preserve the peace nnd the jnils aro filled with prisoners. Tho people of the city have not yet given up hope of American inter forenco. Sympathizers with tho rev olution beliovo thnt a victory by tho insurgents in tho battle being fought today may havo weight with the American government looking toward a recognization of tho provisional government which has been sought by Estrada.
