Shu Francisco, Cal., Aug 18. —Frank Corbett, in speaking about the killing of his mother by his father and the latter’s suicide, says that his father had nothing to worry him, and that he did not lose anything on the Corbett Fitzsimmons fight. Frank said his mother had mentioned the fact that his fa ther was apparently losing his mind. mccoy’s symhathy. Saratoga, N.

New York, Aug ~ 18.—Jim Corbett, heart-broken and griev ed beyond description, accompa nied by his wife, left for San Francisco on an early train yes terday morning. The bodies of his parents will be left in vaults until his arrival, Corbett denied the statement that his fatlur was financially embarrassed. Geerge Considine, Corbett’s manager, who came up from Asbury Park with him, said: “If McCoy will not consent to a postponement of the fight he may have our money. If he will consent to postpone th* contest to any day after the 25th of September, we will light nim,” If Corbett shall ask for a 10 days postponement of the fight with McCoy his request will be granted. Fitzsiminon’s manager has is sued the following : “In the face of so great an af fliction as that suffered by James J. Corbett all questions of rival rysink into insignificance, and none feel more sincere sympa thy than Robert Fitzsimmons and myself. ■‘lt is unfortunate that the blow should have fallen at the lime when he was about to en gage in an important contest, but that doubtless can be post poned to a later date. “Robert Fitzsimmons empow ers me to state that if he can do anything to assist Corbett in the present sad ass ii" he will gladly offer his best efforts, and should Mr. Corbett be compelled to abandon his engagement with Mr. McCoy, and all parties con cerned are agreeable, Mr. Fitz simmons will readily step for ward and fill the vacancy.

T|IK PRESIDENT DECIDES He Will Review the Santiago Army, in New York City. Washington, Aug. 18.—At midnight the president announ ced his decision to muster out of service from 75,000 to 100,000 of the volunteers. Those to be discha'-ged will include three branches of the service—infan try, artillery and cavalry. The question of the mustering out of the volunteers has been under consideration for several days. It was quite evident to begin with that a considerable force necessarily would have to be retained With only a part of the volun teer force to be mustered out, it becomes a delicate question to designate the organizations which should go. From a prominent official of the administration, it is under stood to be he desire of the president to ascertain the wishes n*’ volunteer troops tliem selvus. as .o remaining in the service. • One or two organizations have already indicated a desire to leave the service as soon as the government can reasonably do without tliPtn They are com posed largely of business and workingmen, whose private in terests are suffering by reason of their absence from home. So far as the interest of the government will permit, it is believed that the president in the musteringout of the volun teers, will accommodate himself to the desires of the men them selves. Within certain obvious limita tion, those troops who want to be mustered out will be, and those who desire to continue in the service will be retained so* long as they may be needed. It may be some time before the organizations to be mustered out will be designated, but the reduction of the volunteer forces will be made as soon as possi ble. President Mckinley has de cided that he will review the heroas of Santiago in New York city, if his duties will permit. He so informed Major General Wheeler, with whom ho had a long conference todav, and who is to assume command at Mont tauk Point pending the arrival of Gen, Shafter. Necessarily, the date for the proposed review will be some time distant, as the president’s plans are that the soldiers at Montauk Point should have am ple time to fully recover from the effectsof the severe campaign in Cuba. name,when satisfactory arrange ments can easily be made. “Martin Julian “Mgr. for Robert Fitzsimmons. “New York, Aug. 16, 1898.’’ Bad blood becomes good blood on taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla.lt is ttyi great blood purifier. DEWEY AND MERITT Tlibsb Fighter! are Masters efthe Philippine Sitilation ; SPANIARD? AND REBELS ■ ■ Are Treated A ike And all are Forced to Keep the Peace- Washington. Aug. 18.—The rwo American commanders at Manila, Admiral Dewey and Mnjor General Merrit, uniled in i , a joint dispatch which was re ; reived here late yesterday after noon, asking for instructions as to the manner of dealing with the various elements, particular ,ly the insurgents, now that the city is occupied by the American !soldiers. i After a conference at the white house, in which Secretary Alger and Acting Secretary Allen par ticipated, instructions were sent to the two American comman ders. The text i f the request for 1 instructions ; nd the answer was not made public, but Secretary Alger summed up the instruc tions substantially as follows : “The inst r iciions are to en f. roe law and < rd. r, and to treat ' all law abiding citiz ns alike ’ The instructions are practical )lv the same. a« those sent last night to Gen Lawton. The lat ter order specifi ally stale 1 that the insurgents must recognize l the military occupation and au thority of the United States and the cessation of hostilities pro claimed by this government. Doubtless the same rule is being applied to the insurgents under Iguinaldo, although it was not officially stated that such speci fic orders were made. It is said the joint dispatch from Dewey and Merrit*- did not, in terms, refer to Agninnldo, nor did the instructions mention the insurgent leader by name. It is well understood,however that the desire-of the American commanders was to have instruc tions on the manner of dealing, with the large and menacing forces of the insurgents under Agniualdo, who have surround ed Manila for many weeks and, who, it is thought, will demand the right to occupy the city with the American forces, as the Cuban insurgents did at Santia- «. 1 go. It had been thought, in some quarters here, that the showing heretofore made by the insur gents would lead to their de manding a certain sort of recog nition between the United States ’ and the forces of the insurgents, when the city was occupied. But the instructions sent are based cm occupation by the United States alone and as a high ad ministratioi. official summed up 1 the situation : “There shall be no joint action except between Merritt and Dewey. They will maintain law and order and will treat insur gens and Spaniards alike, re quiring all to observe peace and order.’’ X Brest* with you whether you continue nerve-killing lotmcH-o habit.
