EXPLAINS TACOMA INCIDENT
Both Police and American Sailors
Acted Badly.
Ensign Brisbin Said to Have Incited
JaclSies to Assault San
tiaEo officials.

Havana, May 14-While the official re-
ports on the Santiago affair have not
been made public, it is learned that the
conduct Of both the men from the Ia
coma and the police were responsible. II
appears now that Ensign Brisbin was Sc
riously implicated in the row. and 1t is
possible that he may be court-martialed
as a result.
His first appearance on the night Of the
row was when the men asked him 10 OBJ
tain the permission of the police for them
TO continue their banquet az the Cafe Des
Leones beyond the closing time He did
so, and was later at the Cafe Union with
n number Of sailors when Police Can't.
Lay appeared en- route 10 the wharf
Ensign Brisbin passed the word that he
believed that the police intended to at
tack the American sailors. He saw that
Capt. Lay carried a sword cane. and he
took it from him. This preclpitated a
row, in which Capt. Lay was badly in
jured
Later, the police attacked number of
sailors who were on the wharf, some of
whom were absolutely not implicated and
had no knowledge Of the previous trOu-
bic. The police used their nlachetes and
revolvers. finally compelling the sailors
to take TO flight
Several Of them were forced to ipmp
into the bay. One remained in the water
for an hour, clinging to a pile, before
ne was rescued. The others took refuge
on an American merchant vessel The
sailors were without weapons Of any
KIND and nothing has yet appeared to
justify the use Of arms by the police.

Chicago. May 1.-THE skyrockets in the
wheat market were sent off at the open
ing to-day. when sales were made at 5sa1x
cents advance. There was no such open
ing as marked that of yesterday. and
the efforts of professionals and commits
sion houses TO check the bullish enthu-
siasm created by the advance of u cents
since Friday had its effect. Countrymen
continue TO swarm around. the board Wis
itors' room being packed. All talk wheat
and see nothing but higher prices.
Commission houses generally advised
taking profits, as their books are over
loaded with long wheat, and it is neces-
sary to sell so that accounts can be
settled.
July sold at 96A to g7ik at the start. and
has been down 10 93a.
Professionals think the advance too
rapid and have sold. expecting to buy
back cheaper. The Northwest has sold
heavily on predictions of better weather.
Notwithstanding the message from
Blanchard. y. D. received at 1880 p. m.
this time of year-six to ten inches Of
snow and sleet-was prevailing. and only
one-third Of the seeding is completed.
Efforts are being made to adjust the
market 10 90 cents. Local trade has
quieted down, and. while the volume is
large, II is much lighter than yesterday.
Wheat Higher in Glasgow.
Glasgow. May 4-In sympathy with
the soaring prices in the United States,
Scotch holders of wheat are demanding
substantial advances. The stocks on this
side are light and the large cargoes usual
ly expected at this time of the year are
not materializing. Home millers. there
fore, are protecting themselves and the
Scotch bakers have raised the price of
bread on account of the increased cost OF
-four. Germany is a factor i'm the situa-
ton, large quantities Of Australian and
Scotch wheat being purchased for that
country.

Newport r. l.. May l4-Submarine
Octopus was subjected to various maneuv-
ering and special trials, also torpedo
firing tests, over eight hours to-day by the
naval trial board Most Of the days trials
were held in Coddingt0n Cove, a short dis

ering trials were the trials to test the
boats ability to remain at rest in one
position while submerged. turning trials
under various conditions. and motive
powers and quick stops. In the latter
the boat came 10 a full stop from full
speed ahead in exactly 80 seconds.
in the special tests the most important
was the trying out of the automatic ar
rangements for glowing out the water in

come TO the surface in case of accident
In this test the Octopus came TO the sur
face from depth of 40 feet in As seconds
But two of the boats torpedoes wera
fired. these being discharged as the boat
was about to dive to a depth Of % feet
An irregularity with the tubes prevented
the discharging Of the remaining two
after the boat had submerged. Only one
Of the torpedoes was recovered, the other
not coming to the surface
