WHrR1W1ND STRIKES sTHEmANsoN
All Her spars Carried Aw"y-Deck
 Uttered With Wreckage.

New York, Aug. 25.-The three mast ed schooner Agnes E. Manson. coal laden from Newport News. Va. came into port early this morning with her deck filtered with wreckage. Captain Rabbit says that yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock the schooner was sas!- ing to port about three miles southeast of the Atlantic Highlands when she was struck by a whirlwind which passed over the vessel from the stern and left her wreck The squall was sudden and revolved with terrific speed, carry ing away and smashing everything in it's path The water was churned into foam and the seas were lashed with fury. The schooner's spanker boom, an enormous spar, was broken in half like a pipe stem. The spanker gaff, main gaff and mizzen topnasts were also snapped The breaks were all clean breaks directly across the spars. The spars were all large sticks showing the tremendous power of the wind. All the lower sails were blown away or torn into ribbons and the gear and riSgings were tangled and snarled.
 The suuall lasted but a short tune, when the wreckage was partly cleared.

Westport, Conn.,, Aug. 25.-Last night Edward Baldwin, colored, was arrested and placed in the town lookup on the charge of assaulting Miss Daisy Hoyt, of New York, a girl of sixteen, who is spending the summer here
 During the night Baldwin secured the handle of a galvanized pail standing outside his cell and dug his way through the bricks to freedom. The keeper, who lives upstairs, did not dis cover the escape until this morning, when he carried some breakfast for Baldwin. Sheriff Temple was imme- diately notified and with four deputies he traced the negro to the house of Bert Reilly, in Greenfield Hill. The house was surrounded and Baldwin ordered out He refused to surrender, but when threats of shooting him were made, he allowed the sheriff to take him back to this town. When he reached the lookup chains were put about his ankles and wrists, but this did not seem to phase the negro, for when the sheriff returned an hour later he lound him working industriously on the bars of the window. He was then chained to the wall

W1SHINGTON TO BLAME.
Capt. Forsyth Speaks Plainly Regnrd-
 Ing the eschIey-snmpson Trouble.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 25.-Captain James Mcqueen Forsyth, U. $. N, who had charge of the naval station at Key West during the Spanish-Ameri- can war, spent to- day in Kansas City on his way from San Francisco to his home at Havana. To Times reporter, Captain Forsyth talked of the Schley- Sampson controversy and that paper tomorrow will quote him as saying:
 "While we have been instructed by the navy department not to discuss the merits of the case, every one knows that the navy looks upon the contro- versy as an unfortunate affair. We believe there was plenty of glory for all concerned. The fact that junior man was placed in command above his seniors is responsible for the whole business. Sampson was captain and the seventeenth ranking officer of the navy. No one ever thought of him as the successor to Admiral Sicard, and l don't believe he ever thought of it him. self but he was familiar to the people of Washington and they decided to place him in command.
 ''Of course the officers who outrank- ed him did not like it. It is not to be expected that they would. But Wash ington said Sampson and that settled the matter Schley was among the of flcers outranking Sampson and he was thrown directly under the juniors in command. He naturally felt the pro- motion more than any other of the off, ficers.
 .'The battle of Santiago was one of the most brilliant in history. Regard less of who was responsible for such effective execution there was glory enough for both Sampson and Schley. The controversy only serves to dim the brilliancy of the victory and it is great ly to be deplored. That any one should question the bravery of either of the men is particularly unfortunate and wholly unjustifiable.
 Captain Forsyth, who will be retired on September 25 has been associated with Admirals Schley and Sampson at different times during his long life in the navy. When he left Key West he took command of the battleship h. diana Later he was chief of staff to Admiral Watson in charge of the Asi- atic squadron and for the past several months was second in command at the Mare Island yard at San Francisco. Captain Forsyth left for St. Louis to- night, where he will remain few days before proceeding to Philadelphia.

IN STEEL STRIKE
OPERATORS CLAIM THEY WILL
 START MILLS FUEL FORCE.
To Accomplish This Before the End of tho Week in the Works That Have Been Operating on Single Turns officials Declare They Will Do It Despite the Claims of the Strikers

Pittsburg, Aug. 25.-Son1e remarkable changes in the strike-ridden mills of the United States Steel corporation, changes that will alter the aspect of affairs if carried out are promised for this week. It was stated on good au- thority to-day that before the end of the week those of the plants that have been operating on single turns would be run full force and for the usual three full turns each day. Men enough have been secured for this purpose, the off, cials say in spite of the claims of the strikers that the company could not get enough men to operate their plants and the manage of the various mills say they will be ready with all the skill ed men required to start up the ma chinery and turn out heavy tonnage.
 The most interesting situation is in the Star mill of the American Tin Plate company. This plant was untili this summer considered as doomed. The tin plate company had. 1t Is said, decided to abandon the mill and move the machinery elsewhere. Since the strike has come on them and 1t was demonstrated that the operation of the mill with non union men was possi- ble, under the protection of well equipped police force, the officials de- cided to keep this mill, make extensive improvements in its equipment and make it a permanent fixture of the company. With the completion of these improvements the company will be pre- pared to place sufficient number of men in the plant to work the four double mills three full turns. This is said to be expected to take place dur ing the present week.
