Washington, July 20.-The secretary
of the navy has decided that the third
volume of MacLay's history of the
6panish-American war shall not be
used as text book at the naval acad-
emy unless the obnoxious language it
contains in characterizing the action
of Rear Admiral Schley shall be elm
mated. The secretary says that it
would be manifestly improper to have
a history containing such intemperate
language as a text book for the ca
dets He will inform both Command
er Wainwright, who is in command Of
the naval academy, and Mr.. MacLay,
the author of the history, Of his de-
cision.
In this connection the secretary
says that the proofs of the entire vol
ume were not submitted to him by the
historian. He received only the proofs
of the third chapter, that relating to
the mobilization of the fleets, which
contained a summary of the orders
which he, as secretary of the navy,
had issued in making the naval prep
arations for the war. That chapter
was satisfactory and he returned it to
Mr.. MacLay with an indentation of his
approval. He says he never saw the
account Of the battle of Santiago and
the criticisms of Rear Admiral
Schley until after the book was pub
lished. Mr.. MacLay was appointed to
his present pOSition in the New York
navy yard August %, 1900, having
been transferred from the light house
service.

FIVE DROWNED IN: A YACHT.
Fatal Result of the Capsizing of a
Pleasure Yacht by Squall OFF
Connecticut.
Wealthy Spice Manufacturer and His
Family Drowned in the Over
turning of Boat.
Third Daughter and Steward Pickee
Up by Tug-Too Much Wind
for the Vessel.

New Haven, Conn.,, July 20.-Five
persons were drowned in the sound
off here by the capsizing of the yawl-
rugged yacht Venitzia of Philadelphia,
five miles east of Sands Point, near
the New York and Connecticut line.
Two only of those on board the yacht
were rescued. The drowned are:
Arthur C.. Colburn, owner of the
yacht, and his daughters, Ida and An
nette Colbv- N, of Philadelphia; Cap
tain Flint, Of Brooklyn, N. Y, master
Of the yacht, and a sailor, name uu-
known.
Others on board the ill-fated craft,
Mrs. Walter T. Sprankle of Phila-
delphia and daughter of the owner of
the yacht, and the steward, James
Standbridge of New York, were res
cued by the tug Gertrude after cling
ing for two hours to the bottom of a
capsized boat.
The yacht left Delaware City Mon
day morning, bound for Newport.
Thursday morning it started from
Thompsonville, S. l., the intention be-
ing to put into Black Rock, Conn, and
take on board Mrs. Sprankles hus-
band, who was expected there.
According to the story of the stew
ard the accident happened between
and $3.50 in the afternoon. The Sky
was very squally and the steward says
he heard Mr.. Colburn say to Captain
Flint that it would be we'll to
Take in Some of the Light Sails,
but that the captain replied that the
boat would stand all the wind that was
coming. She then had on all of her
light sails, including jb, staysail and
topsail Steward Stanbridge says that
he was in the galley preparing supper
when he heard an Unusual fluttering of
the jibs and felt the boat keel over.
He rushed ON deck and was about
midships when the craft capsized.
When he found himself in the water
he attempted to grasp one of the sails
which lay on the water but found that
it was sinking and he then swan for
the yawl's tender, which was bottc m
up. AS he was supporting himself at
one end of the boat, Mrs. Sprankle,
who is an expert swimmer, caught
hold of the other end and they bal
anced themselves thus until the tug
Gertrude appeared and the attention
of those on board was attracted by the
shouts. When picked up both were
thoroughly exhausted but have partly
recovered.
The steward saw nothing of the 9th.
ers of the party after the disaster and
believes that some were carried under
by the sails and rigging and that 9TH
ers were drowned in the cabin.
The yacht Venitsia was built in 1850
at Mystic, Conn.,, and was elaborately
finished and furnished. She was so
feet long and had a tonnage of 81.

Pittsburg, July 20.-The Leader
says: -; .s.
" Rumor is busy that efforts are be-
ing made in New York to call another
conference between the manufacturers
and workers. 1t is said that John Jar
rett, labor secretary of the American
Sheet Steel company, and Joseph
Bishop, secretary of the Ohio board Of
arbitration, are in New York in the
interests of peace. At the AmaIga.
mated Office here no information on
this point could be obtained, although
several Of the officials smilingly said
there would be many surprises for the
public before the termination of the
strike. One official stated that he had
been informed that Jarrett was in
New York to procure non-union men
for the sheet plants, but he placed no
credence in the rumors.
The visit of Secretary Bishop to
New York is, however, significant as
it is known he had President Shaffer's
authority to make arrangements for
conference If one can be arranged
that will give promise of settlemen:.

ANOTHER MURDER.

Another murder has "outed" at Val
ley City-similar in many respects to
that committed by Barrows, who was
brought up to the penitentiary last
week. Fred Vail has been arrested
charged with the murder of the man
whose body was found weighed down
with stones in the river last week, anc
whose name is found to be August
Holm. The arrest Of Vail was due to
good detective work by the officer :.
Holm was known to have had team
which was found in the possession Of
Vail. The latter told conflicting stor.:
les, and some papers and other articles
belonging to the murdered man were
found in his shack, where he lived
while herding sheep. Vail was ar
rested and at first denied all knowledge
of the affair. Finally he admitted
having done the killing but claimed it
was done in self defense, stating that
Holm had attacked him with a re-
volver. The weak points in his self
defense story is that the wound in
Holm's head was in the back Of the
skull. Vail says that at first he in"
tended to give himself up but after
ward came to the conclusion that it
would be better to conceal the body
and say nothing about it, SO he
weighed It tdown with stones and threw
it in the river. Vail has engaged a
local firm of attorneys to defend him.
The case against him looks bad, and
the officers believe it was premedi-
!. .tated murder. r ,,.. ;

Angus, publisher of the Baltimore

letter to President Mckinley:
"MacLay's history of the navy is the
standard in use at the naval academy.
In the third volume, just issued, the
historian charges Rear Admiral Sch1ey
with being coward, liar, caitiff,
an incompetent and insubordinate. In
an interview in The American Mac
Lay, who is navy department clerk,
says that proofs of this third volume,
which should have told the most glcr-
ious story in all our naval annals,
were submitted to Secretary Long and
Admiral Sampson and approved by
them in advance of publication; also
that Long put him in his present po-
sition after he had read and approved
this scurrilous attack upon Admiral
Schley. These proofs were also SUBJ
mitted to Admiral Dewey, who re-
fused to read them. If aught were

was therefore an open claim.
