SWIMMER CARRIED OUT TO SEA
Ne" Rochelle Man Given Up For Dead
Arrives Home.

New York, Aug. 26.-Henry w. Hol-
lenberg. who disappeared from Coney
Island two weeks ago, and who was
supposed to have been drowned, ar
rived at his home in New Rochelle yes
terday. He said he was landed there
by a fishing smack by which he had
been picked up at sea. Hollenberg's
story is that he was carried out to sea
by the undertow while in swimming
His cries for help attracted no atten-
tion from the crowds on the beach,
and he had been carried out long dis
tance. when he managed to get hold Of
piece of wreckage that drifted toward
him, and by means of this he supported
himself until rescued by the fishing
smack. He was dressed in an old suit
of clothes. which he said had been
given him by the captain of the fishing
vessel.
A man named Gray was drowned at
Coney Island on the day of Hollen-
bergs disappearance His body was re-
covered. Before it was found the po-
lice entertained a theory that Gray and
Hollenberg had gone away together and
had left suits of clothing in bathing
house to give the impression that they
had been drowned.

4 TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
Digesters in Wilmington Mill Blows
Up and Shakes the City.
SEVENTEEN DEAD; FOUR HURT

tnere were Two REPORTS, ana IN An
Instant the Building and Mills Were
Completely Wrecked - Fire Added
to the Horror.
Wilmington, Del, Aug. -'t.-Seven-
teen were killed and four others
were badly injured by the explosion
of two steel d!gesters in the Delaware
pulp mills OF the Jessup & Moore Pa
per Company, on the Christiana river,
yesterday afternoon. The dead are:
John Mccormick, William T. Burke,
Granville Walters, James B. Stokes.
Franklin T. Harris, George N. Wright,
Joseph Laubacher. Joseph Nagle,
Zacharias Collins, George Durham,
James Jester, William Ruth, E. N.
Mousley, Bernard Sweeney, William
Scott. Joseph Henry and Joel Hutton.
The digesters were located in a two
story building. There were ten Of
them in the building, each one resem-
diameter. They were used for reduc-
ing wood to pulp. Eighteen men were
at work in the building. There were
two terrific reports, and the next in
slant the building and other mills
about the structure were completely
wrecked. One digester was blown in
to the air and fell to the ground $50
feet away. The whole city was shaken.
A dense volume of smoke for time
prevented the outside workmen from
going to the immediate rescue of those
who were caught in the ruins of the
falling building. Several men made
their escape without any injury. An
alarm Of fire was sounded, and the en-
tire fire department OF the city and
large force of police were soon on the
ground. and the work of rescue was
Immediately begun. Several workmen
were taken out unconscious, only to die
after being removed to hospitals. The
wreckage was piled up for more than
30 feet, and the escaping steam made
the work Of rescue rather difficult.
Those who were not killed outright
were mangled and burned by escaping
acid, that flowed over their bodies from
the broken aigesters. To add to the
horror of the disaster the wreckage
took fire, but after some difficulty the
fire department managed to subdue the
flames, and the work of rescue was
continued.
Steam was used in the digesters. The
officers Of the company think that too
much steam was generated in them,
and that this was the cause of the ex-
plosion. The monetary loss is esti-
mated at $4,000.

Waterspouts at Cape Nav,

Cape May, n j., Aug. 25.-Between
II and 12 o'clock yesterday five wa
terspouts were seen about five miles
off shore. Three were single shafts
of water formed during the confiu
ence of two electrical storms and a
small sized hurricane almost in the
nature of a cyclone. The other phe-
nomena was a double waterspout
seen to the southeast The others
were directly east. A succession Of
thunder storms with sharp flashes Of
lightning and quick crashes of thun.
der prevailed. All bathers left the
ocean. and many fled from the beach
because of the turbulent waters.

RULES FOR WAR GAME
Army and Navy Manoeuvres Divided
Into Two Phases

New York, Aug. 26.-Major General
Macarthur made public yesterday the
text of the rules agreed upon for the
coming army and navy manOeuvres
The whole scheme of operations is
based upon the assumption that, in
anticipation of declaration of hos
tilities, a strong hostile fleet, without
torpedo boats, determines to make a
sudden dash on the eastern entrance
OF Long Island Sound to secure a
naval base. in the expectation of find
ing the land forces, in the absence of
a declaration OF war, in a somewhat
unprepared condition. Hostilities will
begin on August % and end at noon,
September 6.
The periods of the manoeuyres are
to be divided into two distinct phases
period of preparation and period of
hostilties. During the first period IT
is intended that there shall ue a day
attack and night attack by the fleet,
and If possible a bombardment and
the forcing of a passage. During the
ensuing period mines and Instructions
may be planted by the defense and
the conditions of war are to be fol
lowed as closely as possible.
Elaborate rules are laid down to es.

of all calibres so as to determine

nese embassy during the incumbency
Of Mr.. Chang some years ago he be-
came very popular in cabinet circles.
His diplomatic accomplishment has
been conceded by the various special
appointments he has filled. On mis-
sion to Japan, and later to London, on
the occasion of the queens jubilee, and
as one of the party sent to Germany
as apologists for the murder of Baron
Won Ketteler, he has served his country
His latest position has been that of
the coronation embassy in London.
His work at the jubilee secured his
knighthood.
AS to the United States relations
with China, Sir Liang Chen Tung said
recently in Paris:
"iou can assert emphatically that
not only the Chinese government, but
the people of China, are most CRATE
full for the United States fairdealing
and for the friendly disposition shown
throughout the recent difficulties, and
her late action in the Tientsin ques-
ton has still further increased China's
gratitude. The United States will GER
tainly receive as good treatment as
any power in the commercial and in
dustrial development of the Chinese
empire.
