Admiral Schley "is Ill, But Not Seriously So as Reported. Will Be Dut Again After a Few Days 1 Rest. Admiral Schley is confined to his summer home in Saugatuck by illness and Dr. J. G. Gregory, his physician, has advised that he be kept quiet and no one except his attendants allowed to see him, or have any conversation with him. Dr. Gregory was called to attend the Admiral yesterday, and while he found that he had no fever he ascertained that his patient was suffering from the effects of the Santiago campaign. He at once recommended that the house be kept perfectly quiet and all visitors denied admittance to the Admiral’s rodm, Dr. Gregory told a GAZETTE reporter this morning that the Admiral’s condi- tion was not really serious and that after a few days rest and quiet he would be out again. Said Dr. Gregory: “For weeks he was floating on a steel clad seven vessel in an atmosphere the temperature” of Which he says ranged‘fr'o'm 100 1107.105 degrees, without the food that men require in hot weather, with the awful strain of watching and waiting for the Spanish squadron to come Out of the harbor of Santiago followed by the ex- citement of the action of July 3 and of ' the reception of .the squadron in New York Saturday. Now the excitement has passed and his nerves are relaxed. The reaction after that rare experience has had the effect of completely un- , nerving him for a few days, but at the end of that time he will return to his normal condition, unless something unforeseen occurs. Dr. Gregory made another visit to Admiral Schley this morning, and found the patient still in bed but get- ting along as nicely as could be ei'pect- ed under the circumstances. The Gazette Wonders.

The explosion of a lamp at the Beachside Inn in Greens Farms last Sunday night caused a good deal of excitement among the guests. Fortu- nately thefire causedby the explosion was discovered immediately, so the damage was slight and the fire easily put Out. The lamp was in the office and as the night watchman happened to be near at the time the fire was put out at once. It is very fortunate that the watchman happened to be on hand when the fire started for if it had gained much headway it would have been impossible to have extinguished it. The hotel is all wood. When the alarm of fire was given all the guests ran out of doors clothed in their night clothes. .As soon as they were con- vinced that the fire had been put out they returned to their rooms.

Telephone Linemen Encroach on Landlord Hamilton’s Property. Mr. Hamilton Has the Parties Placed Under Arrest. This morning, two men who stated that they were in the employ of the Southern New England . Telephone company, visited the Norwalk Hotel and asked permission, to climb a . tree on the premises the limbs of which were in the way of hanging a wire. They, the men, it is alleged by Mr Hamilton, exceeded ‘ the privilege granted them and during the latter’s absence a large limb was cut from a tree fronting the hotel. Mr. Hamilton shortly after returned to the hotel and noticing the .work done by the men as being in excess of the privilege granted called their at- tention to the fact. They seemed inclined to dispute Mr. Hamilton’s authority in the premises with the result that he caused the ar- rest of both men. Being summoned by‘Constable Cur- tis they gave their names as Harry 'M. Hindley and John 'T. Morrissey, and they both pleaded guilty to the charges preferred against them. ’ The Norwalk manager of the Tele— phone Company, Captain J. B. Morris came to the rescue of the priSOners, and furnished bonds in the sum of £25 each for their appearance for trial to- morrow morning.
