New Haven Man Fights Doctors and
 Is Controlled
 New Haven, Aug 12.-P. J. McGar- ity, an engraver, fell in . fit on a Woodmont car about 4:15 o'clock Sat urday afternoon, and was carried into the office of Dr William $. Barnes, No 332 Howard avenue. He had been at the hospital the night before and had been discharged at his own request in the morning. In the doctors office he became delirious and when the am- bulance arrived to take him to the hospital he seized in one hand heavy weight and in the other a large bottle of medicine and started in to do the doctors. It took four men to handle him and get him to the floor.
 Breaking away, he bit one of the hospital orderlies in the neck, and when torn away grabbed him again by the breast with his teeth. Another or derly was bitten in the thumb and then the man was choked into semi consciousness. His legs were bound and his wrists, but he broke the band- ages on the latter and another strug- gle followed before he could be again controlled. He was given -hypo- dermic injection of morphine, but it apparently had no effect and it was only after a clothes line had been wound around him that he could be carried out and removed to the hos pital. Thes hospital authorities con- siders that his condition, was due to alcoholism.

 Not Been Good of Late-The Officials
 Expect Every Day That He Will
 Ask To Be Retired From Active
 Duty.

TRANSPORT INGALLS, H JONAH
Swept By a Gale on Starting
 For Manila.

Had to Return to Port With Flooded
 Decks and Saloons and a Discour-
 aged Crew-The Ingalls, Turned Tur-
 tie in an Erie Basin Dry Dock in
 June, at Which Time One Man Was
 Killed and Twenty Injured.
 New York. Aug 12.-Disaster has again overtaken the Ingalls,, the lux urious transport upon which Uncle Sam has spent several fortunes to transform into floating palace. This time the craft had a narrow escape from foundering.
 The Ingalls,, which turned turtle in an Erie Basin dry dock last June, kill ing one man and injuring twenty oth- CTS, started for Manila last Saturday, after she had again been thoroughly repaired. But the transport did not get outside the Hook before she was swept by a gale that compelled her to crawl back into port with flooded decks and a discouraged crew
 She anchored late yesterday after noon off Robbins reef in the upper bay.
 Every room on the main deck had  below into the engine and fire rooms. In the luxurious main saloon the water was almost knee deep. The passen- gers and crew spent night of terror.
 The Ingalls left the government pier in Brooklyn at o'clock last Saturday afternoon. On board were eighteen passengers, including thirteen male teachers, four physicians and Mrs Bennett, wife of the ships surgeon. Off the Hook the sIngalls encoun- tered fresh southwesterly breeze that speedily freshened to a gale. First the waves slapped savagely against the starboard quarter. Then they be gan to pour over the rail on the main deck. This deck for atwo-thirds of its | length is open to the weather. There | is not even a bulwark-simply a hand rail.
 Before o'clock Saturday night the vessel was plunging in a sea that sent water over the combings of the saloon door and flooded that apartment and | its luxurious fittings. The staterooms on the main deck were invaded, SC was the galley.
 Still Captain J. T. Davidson, the United States quartermaster com manding, decided to keep on. Ever | it was discovered at o'clock that the cargo ports had sprung and that water was drenching the cargo, the captain did not relinquish hope of continuing the voyage.
 He sent men to look after the ports and try to tighten them. Stewards were set to work bailing the salooI and galley. They formed a bucket brigade and the greater part of the night was spent in bailing. | Sleep was out of the question. The motion of the ship made it impossible Those on the upper deck did not ever try to sleep. They were too anxiou: to find out what was happening be low.
 The heavy cargo prevented the Tn gals from rolling rapidly, but sh' pitched in way to suggest a fina plunge below the waves with ever, lift of her stern. The gale was stil on at 4 a. m., and Captain Davidson called conference of his officers ant it was decided to turn back to New York.

MoNRoE DOCTRINE pEFIEp.
Trying to Buy Islands on the North
 Coast of Cuba.

Paris, Aug 12.-Germany certainly, and probably France also. are striving to upset the Monroe doctrine by try ing to purchase Cayo Romano and Cayo Cruz, two of the islands of the Greater Antilles, just off the north ern coast of Cuba
 Both islands are very fruitful They are the property of PrudenciO Ebanez y Vega. a rich Spaniard living there
 Neither country seeks to buy the islands directly Germany seeks to gain control through a German syndi- cate, the chief of which is Baron Adolf Oppenheim of Paris.
 Cayo Romano is the third largest Spanish island of the Greater Antilles, and both islands. being the nearest to the United States coasts, would give foreigners power through command ing position.
 The French Jesuits who are com pelled to leave France are bidding for the islands. The French government prefers that the Jesuits get them rather than the German syndicate. be- cause. notwithstanding the practical expulsion of the former Frenchmen. their interests in the islands could be arranged in exchange fer other considerations.
 < Ambassador Porter. though not in Paris today, has cabled to the state department concerning the purchase. It is understood that he believes France is satisfied with. Martinique. but that Germany is working tooth and nafl to get control of the islands.
 Washington, Aug 12.-The report that Germany Is intriguing for the purchase of one or two of the islands on the north coast of Cuba cannot be confirmed at present
 If such be the case, however. Ger many or any other p0weris estopped from such negotiations certainly till the American army is withdrawn from Cuba and it would be estopped at any fime by the enforcement of the Mon roe doctrine.
