New York, Aug. 20.-Walter 3. Ad-

who claims to have been stationed at
the wheel of the Brooklyn in the battle
OF Santiago is quoted as giving a new
explanation of the loop made by Ad-

says that when the Vizcaya was point

Ger issued the order to put the wheel
hard down. This would have thrown
the Brooklyn directly towards the Viz

order, but involuntarily threw thu
wheel hard up" causing the Brooklyn
to swing away from the Spanish ship
Noticing his mistake instantly he eased
the wheel down, and in getting the ship
back to her course the loop was form

Emporia, Kan, Aug. 20.-Judge Den
mis- Madden of the district court Mon
day rendered a. decision in favor OF the
Orient railway in the Santa Fe inju1c--

and the privilege of tearing up the
tracks that the latter road had laid to
block them. He, however, forbade them
to injure or destroy any part of the
Santa Fe roundhouse or tracks that

the Orient grant from the city.
The santa. Fe was given so days in
which to make a case for the supreme
court People here are somewhat di-
