prevail for Bravery-Omcer Re-
Gently Killed I'm the Philippines.

Maj. John A. Logan, who recently died
in battle in the Philippines, In his brief
military career earned the reputation of
a soldier, and at the same time. in the
face OF almost insuperabie difficulties,
preserved his reputation as n man who
knew how to wear clothes. He had an
advantage In this latter achievement,
however, in the fact that he was O hand
some fellow. In face and IN figure and In
dress 1t Is not likely handsomer fighter
went into the Santiago campaign. He
was round-faced and the expression of
his countenance was youthful almost to
boyishness. There was frankness In his
dark, luminous eyes, and petitioning
smile was always playing around his
mouth. He seemed more actively con-
siderate and obliging than one would ex-
psct OF a soldier. And those who knew
him in Cuba remember him as soldier.
In his bearing Maj Logan was West
Pointer. He was only little above me-
dunn height but he was q tightly-built
figure, with square shoulders and athiftic
proportions. There probably was little
too much exactitude in the studied pre-
cision of his carriage and movements,
but one who was looking for fighting
man would pass that when he measured
his muscular lines his strongly sinewed
neck, and his we'll poised head. His head,
however, was little too large for a. pro-
fessional athlete. but none too small for
a man who would some day fling brigades
where daring and discretion would have
them.
AS to dress, there was not soldier
about Santiago on the American side who
was in his class. In this respect Mai. Lo-
gan might suggest either the well-trained
beau or the rakish Apollo of the plains
1t depended on ones mood at the time

FITZ AND JULIAN PART.
The Ex-ChampiOn and His Manages
Come to Blows.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2-The News says ex-Champion
Robert Ettzsimmons and his old time manager
Martin Julian, have parted company. This resulted
from bitter quarrel in the pugilists at the
Sherman house last night, in which fists freely
swung and revolver displayed.
Fitzsimmons left for New York city, vowing he
was done With Julian for good The disagreement
comes after a series of Observation-Disclosures.
According to tho stories Of both men, 1t grew out
Of Fitzsimmons' inability to obtain box at the
Lyric theater during crowded period. Julian is
interested In the Lyric The pugilist, 1t is said.
made certain remarks Of uncomplmentary ma
ture concerning the Lyric and Julian took him TO
task for It, After q little talk Julian slapped the
big fellow in the face, and the fighter swung on his
managers sge, skinning it slightly and raising q
slight lump.
Fitzsmmons declares that Julian drew a re-
voiyer, and that he chased him ont Of the room

was not . soldier in fact as well a. in
appearance
There were many SONS OF their faith
ers" in that army. and all Of them had
staff Jobs but when that long day Ct
fighting for Bates brigade was over there
was one ''son" who had found favor In
the eyes of the enlisted man, and that Is
high praise.
'siIo can fight as well as wear clothes"
said q first sergeant, and first sergeancies
have to be won. From that moment
Maj Logan had his rating with his .bri-
gade. A man who can fight az well as
wear clothes belongs to the army.
The exposure and the hardships of the
first few days around the hills sent the
fever running through the brigade. and
Mai. Logan was among those who went
down with Il. He was carried back to a
field hospital and laid on the wet ground.
Even while he lay there in the mud, half
delirious with the enervating fever OF
the tropics. he looked as II he had ar
ranged his clothing to get the best ef-
feet in that posture.
Two days later he was being carried
along the trail on stretcher. All of
tho intervening time he had been left in
the woods waiting for one of the over
worked doctors to give him some advice.
II medicine was not to be had, but still
he seemed dressed for the occasion. His
wooden shirt was open at the neck, but
the knot In his black tie was dropped to
the next button, and his slouch hat,
which was tipped owed his eyes. had four
dents in the crown. The mud on his uni
form seemed as IL 1t had been splashed
on 1t for stage effect.
When the beleaguered army at last en-
tered Santiago It was probably the most
unkempt lot OF men that ever entered
any city. Torn shirts and trousers SEEM
ed to be a part of the army regulations
that few violated. Faces and hands were
unwashed and boards were as long as the
four weeks campaign. The other sons
had caught the infection and were about
as disreputable looking as their fellows.
Maj Logan, however, appeared in the
Plaza de Armas with his uniform looking
as IL 1t had Just come back from tailor.
His boots had been cleaned Of mud, he
had q new shave, and there were four
carefully placed dents In his SLOUGH hat.
In that campaign he had won reputa-
ton as fighter. and had preserved his
reputation as a man who knew how to
wear clothes.--Chicago Tribune.
