er, one of the Spanish-American agents
of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, who has been charged with being
short over ;300,000, has given a London

says he left New York with the knowl
edge, and consent of the company, and
adds : ' . " , ,
I have been unfortunate in speculation
in Wall -street, and was caught very
badly, in. the panic of last fall. When
the strain became too great I assigned to
my partner, Mr. Sanchez, all-my profits,
past, present and future, in the Spanish
American department, and also all other
available assets in my possession.. He
in return, and without any further jcon
sideratirn, assumed my liabilities, of
which there were none except to the
Spanish-American department. I ar
rived in London.December 13 and have
been . in. communication with Sanchez
and mui.y of my New York lriends. . - I
have lived openly and above board, and
have no reason for biding' myself . It is
bardly imaginable that I would have
been allowed this bad I absconded with
a large Ar. ount of . money."

Regarding the. Slavin-Kilrain fight he
said:'' ',.. . .
Slavin did fully as well as. I thought
he.would. He showed he. was, a hard

Jackson is willing to meet' him, and as
the championship' of Australia is still in
aispute. 1 think , the two men should be
brought together So far as j the, cham
pionship of the world is concerned I con
cede it to Sullivan hulrl am willing to
meet the, winner of a fight between iSla-
y-in and Jackson in order to defend the
title for America, but I do not care about
