SCHLEY FEARED THE MINES.
sampson Had support in ri. Pas Not
to Ents- .he Harbor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 0.-Secretary
Long has requested the publication
of the following correspondence:
My Dear Secretary:-I am led to
write at the present time on account
Of the publication of an article which
appeared in the papers of the 10Th
inst, in which Commodore Schley is
made to- say that he had stated. ap.
parently to the writer, that he had
over and over again declared IL was
possible TO enter the harbor of San.
tiago, Notwithstanding the mines.
Commodore Schlcy called upon me
yesterday and voluntarily stated that
the publication OF the article on the
10Th was false in every particular; that
he not only never stated anything OF
the kind, but that he had never even
thought OF IL; that he had always en-
tirely agreed with me on the question;
and that he did not know u single of.
ticcr whose opinion differed from mine.
As have a to believe Commodore
has been misrcpresentcd, /
have taken the liberty to address to
you n telegram upon this subject this
morning, and as / am about to sail for
the East l trust that it will receive
your attention at an early date. Very
respectfully, w. 4. SAMPSON.
The telegram referred to is as fol-
lows: call departments attention TO
an Associated press dispatch in the
New York Times and Herald of the
10th, attributing to Commodore Schley
certain opinions regarding mines. l
request that the manager of the Asso-
ciatcd press be called upon to name the
source and authority for this state
mcnt.-Sampson.
partment wrote the Associated press
for the information requested. The
reply of the Associated press is as
follows;
Our Mr.. Graham, who has been con
stantly with Commodore Schlcy since
his squadron assembled at Hampton
Foods. and is probably more familiar
with his views than any newspaper
man ut Santiago, takes issue with the
gentleman who wrote the letter re-
fcrred to and says that Commodore
Schlcy was always in complete accord
with Admiral Sampson as to the ques-
ton of entering the harbor. He
quotes Commodore Schley as saying:
Admiral Sampson and | have al
ways agreed that it would be foolish
to enter the harbor with the mines in
place, ana the condition of the mines
proved that Admiral Sampson was
correct"

WOULD ABOLISH PRIZE MONEY
Congress May he Asked to Take Away
"a Naval E~moiument.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. o-There Is n
probability that during the next Con-
gress n bill will be pushed to abolish
prize money for the navy. This will,
of course, include bounty money. The
bounty law promotes a desire on the
part of each entcrprising American
seaman to destroy rather than capture
n vessel of the enemy. The men who
destroyed Ccrvera's feet will he u good
deal richer for having demolished the
four first class armorcd cruisers on
July 3, but if they could have been
captured instead OF being destroyed
the government of the United States
would have been richer by. four vcs-
sells. AS it is, the government may
get one of the ships, but it will be re.
quired to pay about $500, 900 in bounty
money to Admiral Sampson and his
men.

with "A Wall of Water.

The idea Of protecting buildings
against fire from without by means Of
a water curtain, to be made to fall
all around the structure, appears to be
gaining favor. having the Endorsement
of some Of the most experienced pro-
fessional experts in this line, and the
plan is exciting special attention in
Chicago, where it is being applied to
the great public library building. The
arrangement is extremely simple. A
seven-inch steel water main Is laid
around the top of the structure, upon
the broad stone table formed by the
top of the coping, this pipe having con-
nection with force pumps situated in
the basement, and, through perfora-
tions properly arranged, insures the in

How to Pronounce AIger.

a different pronunciation Is given by
each. "Allger," hard g, "Awejar," and
"Aljer" have been the most frequent
pronunciations. AS Camp Alger has

of so many, the private secretary was

THE VULCAN IS KEPT BUSY.
Every Vessel In SIMPSONS Fleet Calls
on the Repair Shin.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 0 The repair
ship Vulcan is one of the naval sue
cesses of the existing war. In prepar-
ing for this cxigency the navy, on the
outset of the war, purchased the
steamship Chatham, renamed her the
Vulcan and fitted her out with much
expedition Mt the Boston navy yard.
That the Vulcan has fulfilled the
promise of her originators is shown by
the fact that for further service our
ships are not coming home except to
be docked. The great fleet of Samp-
son lies in the l~and-locked Cuban har-
Dor. with the Vulcan close Mt hand,
prepared in every essential way
for the duty which the Navy
department may prescribe, and this
after many of these vessels have
been months away from "a Northern
machine shop and nearly a year from
a dock yard. The character of the
work now done by the repair ship is
shown 20 SONS extent in 4 letter from
one of Der officers, who, writing from
Guantanamo bay, says in regard to
this vessel and its utility: Il can only
say that we are busy night and day.
Our brass furnace is going night and
day. there having been unexpected
calls for brass castings of all kinds and
sizes. 1t seems that every vessel in
the flcct-coiliers, transports, supply
and war ships-has either n winch, Il
blower engine or n dynamo broken
down. New eccentric straps and rods
galore are required, with new brasses
gun castings, etc. We have supplied
also an enormous quantity of stores t.
the different ships. AS | said before
we are busy all the time and there il
no vessel in the fleet but has hat
something doae to it. The torpedo
boats, small yachts and tugs required
the most work.
at will be seen from this how full
the Vulcan fills one of the most i'm
perative needs OF modern war, the
maintenance OF the fleet in being 81
