Whilst Bob Fitzsimmons, the cham

ting his recent victory in San Fran
cisco, drummer 10y the name of
Campbell, an admirer of Corbett,
who was present made some pointed
remarks about the late contest, crit
icised the decision of the referee aud
implying all the time that Corbett was
by far the better man. Bob, hearing
the remarks, objected to the drummer's
impertinence, and before his friends
were aware of what was going on pro-
ceeded to give the travelling man an
idea how his idol was disposed of at
Carson City. Matters were fast and
furious for few minutes when friends
parted them. 1t is said that Fitz
could not hit his antagonist and that
the fellow was not scared cents

Americans to Be Freed.

Semi-official reports are current in
Washington that within the next fort
night, or thirty days at the outASe,
practically all of the Americans Wv
IN prison in Cuba on political charges
will be released.
How many there are belonging to
this category is known only to the
State Department and the Spanish of
ficials, but they probably number
score or more. In association with
this report is heard renewed gossip
about negotiations between this coun-
try and Spain looAing to1he purchase
of the island by the Cubans, payment
to be guaranteed from the United
States. To offset this, however, au-
thentic information is received of the
daily diminishing strength of the in
