Chicago, Dec. 4.-The News says that
ex- Champion Robert Fitzsimmons and his
old time manager, Martin Julian, have
parted company. This was the result OF
bitter quarrel in the pugilist's rooms
in the Sherman house, in which fists
were swung and revolver displayed.
Fitzsimmons left for New York last night,
vowing he was done Nth Julian for good.
The disagreement comes after a serios Of
Misunderstanding. According to the sto.
ries of both men it grew out of Fitzsim-
mons inability to obtain box at the
Lyric theater during a crowded period.
Julian is interested in the Lyric. The
pugilist, it is said, made certain remarks
OF an uncomplimentary nature concerning
the Lyric and Julian took him to task for

fellow in the face and the fighter swung

liam insists that it was Bob who drew the

tact is they We're never reduced below the
limit prescribed by the department and
they could have safely gone into acuon
without receiving further supply.
The total number of rounds fired from
guns of the main batteries in the Manila
engagement was 14l4 viz 49, S-inch; 635

secondary battery, 4445 viz: 1851 6-pound-

one-third Of their allowance.
'.One hundred and seven auxiliary ves-
sells and IA newly commissioned regular
vessels were supplied with complete OUT
tits of ammunition. and good reserve
supply was maintained at the principa
