Was Sampson Afraid to Rush Santiago

Washington, August 8.-What' was
the secret reason for Rear Admiral
Sampson keeping his feet inactive off
Santiago harbor for several weeks
when he was continually being urged
to come to the assistance of General
Skaters army, in dire straits? Why
did Sampson ignore oil appeals, with
his superb floating engines of war

his failure to give the word to move?
Why did Rear Admiral Sampson

Why did Rear Admiral Sampson ig-

Was he moved by timidity or orprompt-
ed by extreme caution?
Where was Sampson and what was
he doing when the great naval engage,

Who was responsible for the with,
drawal of the fast cruiser New York
from the blockading line just an hour
before the Spanish feet emerged from
Santiago harbor?
Was he trying to excuse himself tC

After the Spanish feet had been de

Spanish ships in Santiago called him
to that port to take personal command
of the blockading operations that were
subsequently conducted without inter-

tured the city with its defenders and
thus opened the harbor to Simpsons s
ships. And then Notwithstanding that
it was Shafter and his army who had
driven Ceyera from the harbor "to
die fighting rather than blow up their
ships" the first demand Sampson
made after General Shafter had re-
ceived the sword and surrender of
General Toral was that the shipping of
the harbor be turned over to his fleet.
He was eager for prize money, even
though he had not won it.
He had persistently evaded General

Why, after repeatedly wiring Wash

army must first clear away before the

In spite of his failure to aid the army
why did Rear Admiral Sampson per-

The Knights of Labor have combin-
with the American Antitrust League
and employed well-known Washing
ton lawyer to prepare and institute a
plan for proceeding legally against
the steel trust under the anti-trus
laws of every state IN which it operates.
Ex Attorney General Monett, of Ohio,
has been instrumental in starting til ese
organizations after the big trusts. In
letter to an official OF one of them he
said; "You have the correct idea. Un-
der the Ohio Antitrust Act, we can
reach them in Ohio right now, both
criminally and civilly. We have the
strongest act under which to attack
them of any OF the states except Texa s

our antitrust laws, as rapidly as they
can Jail workingmen for contempt" I"

it is necessary to break the power Of the
trusts in some way before they become
too strong to be broken by any other
means than brute force. The antitrust
men are also after Attorney General

ated the Sherman antitrust law. They

Not even Skaters laconic sugges-
tion to Secretary Alger that he be per-
mitted to arm some transports with
field CUNT and run them into the har-
Dor in command of army officers who
were willing to risk the mines stirred
Sampson to action. Shafter was in
deadly earnest when he wrote that dis
patch and if he had been given any en-
courAgement from washington, he
would have doubtless carried out his
idea of converting army transports in
to fighting ships and forced an en-
trance into the harbor in spite of the
mines aud batteries. But, fortunately
for Sampson's reputation and for tho
American navy, the effect of such a
maneuyer upon the public mind was
clearly foreseen in the white house aud
Shafter was never permitted to equip a

fused to do.
