FITZ DEMANDS DAMAGES.
Sues Landlord BresIin for $4,000
for Refusing Him Entertainments.

New York Oct. 1.-THE refusal of Pro-
prietor James Breslin, of the Gilsey
House, to allow Robert Fftzsimmons to
absorb a bowl of soup in the hotel res
taurant constituted an insult, in the ju g.
ment of the pugilist, that can be wiped
out only with noney-preferab bills of
large denomination. The champion has
brought suit against Mr.. Breslin for $50.-
coo damages. The papers were served last
night, and there is a prospect that the
people may have a chance to see a cham
pion pugilist in battle before long. even
though il be but legal battle.
Stripped of its legal verbiage, the intro
ductory paragraph in FitZsimmons' COM
plaint. which was drawn by the law firm
of Boese & Cahart, recites how he en-
tered the restaurant of the Gilsey House
on the afternoon of October T. and or
dered one of certain designated articles
of food" He AYERS that he gave the or
der s'in a proper manner" that 1t was not
served in a reasonable time, and that he
made appeal to the head waiter.
This functionary, according to the com
plant, refused to serve the champion
with a bowl of soup. publicly. in the
hearing of many persons, and in loud
and insulting tone, which tended to in
ing that he was not a proper or desirable
person with whom the others present
might or should associate, greatly to the
humiliation and disagrace of the pain
tiff and to his great and irreparable dam
age"
The complaint goes on to relate how
Fitzsimmons went meekly to Mr.. Bres-
lin and asked him why he could not eat
SOUP in peace in the Gilsey House. Mr..
Breslin's reply, he AYERS in addition to
being delivered in a loud and offensive
tone. was s1Ich7as would bring on him
'discredit. humiliation and mortifica-
tion." and to cause him great and ire
parable damage.
The complaint sets forth that FitZsim-
mons makes his diving by appearing be-
fore the public of the United States and
other parts of the worid, and that his
success and well-being depends on the
esteem and popularity with which he is
regarded bysthe.said public. He has al
ways been accustomed, the complaint
says, in his travels, to stay at the most
respectable and proper inns and hotels.
Garbled statements of tie affair of Mr.
Breslin have been sent out. he asserts,
which will cause hotel proprietors ana
managers to look at him with a CLASSY
eye and will incite the public to stay
away from his theatrical performances
In conclusion Fitzsommons says that
his good name, fame and credit" have
been Injured: that he has been held up to
public scandal and disg-aee;" that his
feelings have been outraged" and that
his business has received great and last
ing injury and damage"
For al of which he requests the court
. award Fin possession OF $50, ,D09 OF Mr.

FACTS TELL ANOTHER TALE
The Brooklyn Was in Line With the
Oregon, Which Was HOtiy Engng-
ed. While the New York Was Be
tween Four md Five Miles From
tfagO.

New York, Oct. 11--Al disputes re-
garding the naval battle of Santiago
have been settled officially. There is no
longer any Sampson-Schley controversy.
according to the view of the Bumboat
and Barnacle Bureaus. The inquiry held
here by a naval board, headed by Lieut..
Com Wainwright, has been finished. The
board has prepared an exhaustive report,
which has been forwarded TO Secretary
Long.
The chief issues before the board re-
lated to the parts taken by the two flag
ships. New York and Brooklyn.
In summing up, the board finds that:
/. The battle was fought and won upon
plans prepared by Sampson.
3 Any directing of the movements of
ships done by Schley during the battle
was inconsiderable.
g. The New York had no active part in
the fight.
L. The Brooklyn was not engaged at so
close quarters as has been represented by
some persons.
3. The brunt OF the fighting was borne
by the Oregon Texas, and Iowa.
G. The New York was over nine miles
from the Colon when that ship surren-
dered, and between four and five miles
from the nearest of her sister ships en-
gagged Qrom which signal distance is
taken).
T. The average range of ships most en-
gagged was about a mile and half.
S. No American ship at any time during
the battle was within mile of an I'M
surrendered Spanish ship.
The meetings OF the board have been
held daily on board the cruiser Brook
lyn. while she was lying off TOmpkins-
vile.
Sessions were held morning and after
noon and in order to expedite matters.
an all day meeting was held last Sunday.
The battle OF Santiago was fought all
over again. but no friction whatever oc-
Cured. The representatives of the diff
ferent ships composing the board found
they agreed upon nearly all points.
The board prepared an elaborate chart.

and American ships from the moment
