Resarks Of q Naval ChapIain Tbs
May Cause Trouble.

Remarks Of q Naval ChapIain That
May Cause Troubie.
The recent address Of Chaplain ]. p
Mcintyre. of the navy. at Denver. COL
in which that gentleman INDUCED in Sc
verc criticism of Commodore Sampson
and certain Eastern ehipbuilders. may re-
suit in getting the chaplain into consid-
cradle trouble.
Mr.. McIntyre's statements which are
particularly objected to by department
officials are these:
Sampson wrote a report OF the battle
and reported himself within miles Of the
Cristobal Colon when she pulled down her
flag. He did that to get his share Of the
prize money. So Sampson will get 0.o0C
of prize money, and Capt Clark. who
fought the Oregon as never man fought
ship before, will get only $500. and you.
who had just exactly as much to do
with the battle as Sampson did. will not
get a cent"
Chaplain Mcintyre is also credited with
stating that the Oregon met the Iowa
moving to the rear, where Capt. Evans
kept her throughout the battle, and that
the reason the Eastern made ships did
not come up to expectations was that
the contractors who made them got the
contracts through political influence and
did not care how much they cheated the
Government.
Naval officers on duty at the DEPART
ment regard the statements made by the
chaplain as rather extraordinary, and are
inclined to believe he was incorrectly
quoted. He has been nine years In the
naval service and is undoubtedly familiar
with the regulation which he has vio-
lated II he made the statements alleged.
This article reads:
"All persons belonging to the navy are
forbidden to publish, or to cause or per-
nit to be published. directly or Indirect
ly, or to communicate by interview, pri-
vate letters or otherwise, except as re-
quired by their official duties. any infOr-
nation concerning the acts or measures
of any department of the Governmer> q
or of any officer acting hereunder, or any
comments or criticism thereon.
ANY violation of the provisions OF this
article will be noted in the record of the
person concerned.
In answer to Mr.. McIntyre's alleged
declaration that Commodore Sampson re-
ported himself within miles of the Colon
in order to share in the prize money, de-
partment officials say that the Revised
Statutes especially provide for the award
to the comma mander-in-chief Of a squadron
of "one-twentieth of all prize money
awarded to any vessel or vessels under
his immediate command" so that even
II Commodore Sampson had remained
at Siboney he would still have shared
in any prize money that may be obtained
from the Colon.

Two Thousand Volts Fail to XIII
Electrician POupe

New York. Aug. 1o.-More electricity
than was used to. send Martin Thorn into
eternity entered the body of Charles
Poppe yesterday and he lives to tell the
tale. g.
In fact. he says he feels no i'll results
other than might be those of defeated
pugiiist who is rendered senseless by a
sudden blow in the ring.
Poppe is thirty-two years old and lives
in West 10th Street, near Columbus Ave
hue. He is an electrician employed by
the underground trolley company that
operates the Lenox Avenue line. He was
called to the conduit at 135th Street and
Lenox Avenue turing the afternoon to
correct some defect and climbed into the
manhole. AS he was getting out he care
lessly placed both hands on the chan
mel rail.
His fellow workers saw him as he col
lopsed and fell back into the. hole. They
lifted him out with great care.
Its all up with Charlie" said the fore
man. He must have received 1000 volts"
When an ambulance from Manhattan
Hospital arrived the electrician was en-
tirely conscious and resisted the efforts
of his friends to take him to the hospital
He finally consented and was taken there
Aside from seriously burned hands, he
shows no mark of his awful experience.

TrihuI.tfonsl Of the wheel
From the chicaep Times. .Herald.)


while ago it was cyclists face. The person
who rode 4 wheel substantially placed his facial
lineaments in a mask Of ideal plaster Of paris
from which they never recovered. They were as
II carved out Of stone. IA stony and starry look
became one Of the most recognizable expressions
of those who made the bicycle their friend
Next came the cyclists hump, which was not
q pleasing spectacle, nor a necessary one. as
time has proved. This was followed by cyclists
heart, which threatened many votary with
sudden death, but happily only threatened.
Now comes cyclists lockjaw. the latest afaic-
tion to be treated. which We understand is in
CURED chiefly by scorchers, who hold their mouths
and other distractions The microbe Of tetanus,
taking advantage OF these open mouths effects
lodgment therein. and then works his own sweet
will upon the scorcher., In few days those
jaws are licked up tight, and that particular
scorcher scorches more.
If there is any moral to this latest cyclef's
woe it is that the rider must ride slower so that
he can keep his mouth shut, form Of lockjaw
that may save him from worse.

OF the twelve deaths reported in Cen
eral Skaters army for Monday. only one
was from uncomplicated yellow fever, al
though there were more than three thou-
sand cases of that disease. Some idea OF
the depression of spirits that has follow
ed the exhaustion of the battle and the
deprivation of the succeeding ten days,
may be formed from the reports. Several
men have died as result of fever and
melancholy and on Monday a soldier shot
himself through the head. Kipling has
told of the suicidal mania among English
officers and soldiers in India, where the
heat is almost intolerable.

Good Soldiers

The Americans in Porto Rico were
brought suddenly into unexpected con-
fiict with a much larger force Of the
enemy. The Spaniards had selected a
position where concealment was prac-
ticable, where they had a cross fire on
the Americans and where the latter
could neither retreat nor find protec-
ton. AS usual, the affray ended with a
heavy loss and a precipitate retreat
by the foe and few casualties among
the Americans. The engagement am
bush though it was. was little more
than n skirmish and would not be
worth special mention but that il DEM
onstrates quite as effectively as a great
battle the admirable characteristics Of
our volunteer soldiers.
If the natural and inevitable sur
prise of the advancing Americans on
being met by a rain of bullets from
many directions, fired by an invisible
foe, had gone to the extent of panic,
not a man would have escaped without
captain fall, was momentarily rat
tled," but almost instantly it recovered
and poured such fire into the places
where the Spaniards were hidden that
the expected annihilation Of our troops
did not take place. The fire of the
Americans, who appeared to the enemy
to be cool and steady, prevented the
Spaniards from making the charge
their superior numbers warranted. so
that when a dynamite gun came up
being dragged for five weary. hot and
hilly miles by soldier hands-the enemy
retreated in plain disorder. The de-
feated Spanish regulars have probably
carried to the main army a tale Of the
valor of the Americans that will weak
en- the defense of San Juan.
The incident encourages a belief in
the statement of General Miles that a
few days will place our army in pos
session of she chief city and main
of Porto Rico. This decision
of the commanding general is the cause
of bitter disappointment to the thou
sands of soldiers who have tired of
camp life and have kept up their spirits
under a promise of trip to that island.

The couple were arrested and under the

Thereupon their fines were remitted.

AS usual. the American losses at Malate
are much smaller than those Of the less

have better arms. The total casualties
on our side were thirteen killed and abou.
forty wounded, while the Spanish. accord
lost about four hundred killed and nearly
a thousand wounded. 1t is fortunate for
the enemy that 1t did not receive the re-
endorsements from Madrid for which
there was an appeal. 1t would only have
been a larger number to be shot.

Better Telephone.

There were few people who thought
that the night induction feature of the
telephone would disappear the evening
following Mr.. Cassidy's assumption of
the management. This was not gener-
ally expected, however. Almost i'm
mediate Improvement was anticipated
and there are already evidences of it.
Better operators are at the boards and
better attention is given patrons. Some
repairs have been made during the past
few days and others are under way. 1t
seems certain that the metallic system,
OF a return wire for each instrument
will be decided upon. This means an
enormous expense and delay in divi-
dends, but it also means, as Mr.. Ather-
ton suggested such telephone system
as Honolulu must have.
