Rear Admiral William T. Sampson has
filed suit in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, libeling the Spanish vessel
of war, Maria Teresa, and miscellaneous
stores and supplies captured upon her and
other Spanish war vessels. In his suit he
claims that in his own behalf. and also in
the behalf of all the officers and enlisted
men of the United States navy who served
with the United States naval force and
took part in the naval engagement of San
tiago de Cuba on July 3, 1898, and in cap
lures made subsequent thereto, and also
so far as he is by law permitted on behalf
of the United States, he brings this libel
against all persons claiming any interest
in the prize property

the Secretary of the Navy and to the attor-
ney of the United States for this District,

Chicago Building Trades Unions Dis
cuss Brick makers, TroubIes.

CHICAGO, July 31-While the strike of
the local brtckmakers may result in calling
out the building trades unions of the city,
numbering about $4,000 men, the conference
held today between the business agents rep
resenting the various crafts terminated
without definite decision in regard to the
matter. With one accord the delegates re-
fused to disclose the incidents of the meet
ing, but it is believed that the majority of
the building trades representatives argued
against striking in sympathy with the
brickmakers, inasmuch as the latter are
merely trying to force ten nom union yards
to recognize their organization. A strike
would affect many union industries and
these labor leaders do not believe, it is said,
that the time for this is at hand.
