Unless a Change is. Made Regarding the Phil
ippines -A Sharp Diplomatic Move.
MADRID, Aug. 1. It is the general belief, founded on
official gossip, that the Spanish .government will not accept
the peace terms offered by President McKinley, unless some
change is made regarding the Philippine amendment, which
is regarded as a sharp diplomatic move on the part of the
American government.
THET IGHT DE:
CIDED A DRAW
After Twenty-five Rounds of Hard Fight
ing the Referee Decides the Honors
are Even.. .
Nkw Yobk, August 1. Solly Smith,
of Los Angeles, and Tommy White, of
Chicago, went through twenty-five
rounds of the fastest kind of fighting at
the Coney Island Athletic Club tonight.
At the end the referee decided that the
honors were even. Smith made an
aggressive battle throughout and ad
ministered some very heavy punishment
to his clever antagonist,but the later was
able to stand off his rushes in the early
part and by husbanding his strength
made a sufficient showing in the last
four rounds to win the draw decision.
Smith took desperate chances in the
last round, going in hammer and tongs
fashion, but his work was wild, and
while he managed to land several effect
ive punches, at the conclusion ' of the
boat White hsl a badly damaged eye
and Smith had a nose much like a
blood-soaked sponge.
TWO DESPERATE
CROOKS CAPTURED
Both Have a Reputation in Chicago as
Professional Pickpockets Give
the Officers a Lively Chase.
San Francisco, Aug. 1. Jack Peck
ett or "Piggott," brother of the well
known jockey, Joe Piggott, now riding
for Millionaire H. L. Frank at Butte,
Mont., is in jail here for picking pock
ets. Piggott and a young fellow named
Thomas Madcen, a crook well known in
Chicago, so the police here say, were ar
rested at the ferry last night while
operating on the boat, thickly crowded
with retnrning picnickers. The thieves
spotted the police just as the latter
spotted them, and after a lively chase
on shore, were captured in the Water
Front saloon. Both Piggott and Mad
den treated the arrest as a hugh joke
and openly bragged they had a pnll and
would soon be free. There eeems to be
considerable ground for boasting, as
both Piggott and Madden have been ar
rested a number of times lately for
petty crimes ; but no conviction has yet
been obtained.

A Conference Held With the President in Re
gard to the Matter.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. Warner Miller had a confer
ence with the president, as a result of which he expressed
confidence that at the next session of congress a bill would
be passed authorizing the completion of the Nicaragua canal.
The present war has demonstrated the pressing r ecessity of
a waterway between the oceans, which in addition to the
pressure of commercial interests, will, Miller thinks, make
the canal an assured fact within five years.
