TWO OTHER NEW WITNESSES Evans Described in Detail the Prin cipal Battle of Santiago and the Bombardment of the Colon on May 3i2-Did Not 'Finish. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. Admiral Ev ans, who, as Captain, commanded the battle-ship Iowa during the Santiago cam paign, was a witness before the Schley court of Inquiry today. His testimony covered the period from the time the Iowa left the port of Key West on May 20, J898. until July &, when Admiral Evans testified he had a conversation, with Ad miral Schley concerning the battle on July 3, He described in detail the principal "battle of Santiago, and gave particulars concerning the bombardment of the Colon, on May 3L Other witnesses of the day were Captain. Theodore F. Jewell, who was commander of the cruiser- Minneap olis during the Spanish War, and Com mander James O. Miller, who "was in com mand of the collier Merrlmac until that vessel was turned over to Lieutenant Hob son to be sunk in the mouth of the har bor at Santiago. Admiral Evans had not concluded his testimony when the court adjourned until tomorrow. Today's proceedings were begun, as usual, by recalling previous witnesses for corrections in their testimony. While Commander Southerland was on the stand he was asked by the court whether, if the fleet of Cervera had been inthe harbor of Cienfuegos, It could have been, seen by the vessels blockading the port. Ke replied: "I cannot definitely say. 'Not unless they had anchored in the lower harbor just inside of the entrance, in the deep water where the schooner to which I re ferred before was anchored. I do not be lieve they would have anchored in that spot." The First New Witness. The first new witness of the day was Commander James O. Miller, who was in command of the collier Merrlmac while that vessel was a part of Admiral Schley's flying squadron. Commander Miller said he had assumed command of the Merrlmac April 11 at Norfolk. He had taken on board at Lambert's Point soon afterward about 50 tons of coal. His ves sel 'had, he said, been capable at first of making between 9 and 10, knots, but af terward he had trouble with his machinery so that by May 23 and 24 he would have hes itated in trying to secure a .speed of more than seven "knots. He read from the col lier's Ipg to show that the Iowa, Massa chusetts and Castlne had been coaled qn thjv23d tw&Jllili. Np jr"eor.cU5v4 fbunu; of the coaling of' any Vessel on the "25th or 26th, the time consumed in proceeding from Cienfuegos to Santiago. "The "sea," he sard, "on ,the 25th was nasty, quite nasty. The Merrlmac be ing a heavy vessel, its speed was not affected, but if I had had a smaller ves sel I should have felt It very much." He also said that the weather for that day was bad. The witness said that late in the afternoon of May 26, the Interme diate valve of the collier was broken, but that previous to the arrival off Santiago she had not been "broken down, disabled or delaj'ed." As to the conditions on the 26th, the witness said: "I should say I could have coaled, as I find here, (consulting the log) we were making 10 knots. At one time we got up to 12 knots. I fancy the weather could not have been very bois terous. I read from the log seven knots,, then six and so on. There Is one entry here that we got up to 11 knots. On that date I find 'Steaming with the squadron east to quarter north,' and I find by the entry between 8 o'clock In the morning and meridian of that date that we made from 10 to 12 knots." Mr. Hanna What was the condition of the sea? "The sea had smoothed, I should judge, from the way we were going. We raised our speed from 7 to 10 knots." "Could you have coaled vessels on the afternoon of the 26th?" He Could Have Coaled. "I could up to the time I was broken down. While I had control of the ship I could have coaled." "What time did you break down?" "We stopped at 5:30 that afternoon." Asked if vessels could have been coaled while the Merrlmac was in tow of the Yale, the witness replied that that was a supposititious question, and that he would not like to say. As a matter of fact she did not coal any vessel while in. tow. On all days from May 23 to May 31, except on the days when en route from Cienfue gos to Santiago and when disabled, the Merrlmac had had vessels alongside for the purpose of coaling, and they had been coaled from the collier. On cross-examination Commander Miller said the Massachusetts had been coaled at 7:30 In the morning of the 24th. He was then examined concerning signals- as to coaling the Texas. "I signaled over, 'I object to having two battle-ships alongside of me,' " said Com mander Miller. "They have a peculiar mo tion, and when two battle-ships are roll ing they would have a tendency to crush a collier between them. It was not so much on account of the weather as it was the presence of a battle-ship on each side." "How was the sea at that time?" "I did not feel the sea very much be cause my ship was a peculiarly steady ship." "How was It as far as the other ships are concerned?" "Battle-ships nearly always have mo tion; that Is my experience. As far aa I am personally concerned, I could have coaled." "Well, how about the other vessels?" "That is not for me to judge." , "Then when you spoke of your capacity to coal, you spoke about your own ship?" "yes; that-st was ready for delivery. I am giving no opinion regarding other ships." Continuing, the witness said that he "al ways hated to go alongside the battle ships. The Merrlmac was always steady, but the battleships were continually roll ing." "Especially in a rough sea," suggested -Mr. Paynor. "In any sea," responded the witness. "Is not that especially true when the warship has protruding sponsons, as had the Texas?" "They were always nasty," the witness responded. His liog "Was Silent. Mr. Haynor questioned Captain Miller closely concerning the stale of the weath er and sea May 26, quoting from Admiral Cervera'e statement on that subject, but the witness would only say that his log was silent as to the condition of the sea at that time. In conclusion, Captain Miller referred to his removal from the command of the JMer rimac In order to turn the vessel over to Lieutenant Hobson. "Wheq I was taken out summarily from the Merrlmac nearly everything I had was lost, and the only thing I can remember now with the few notes I have here is in this log." The court asked: "Was there any point near Cienfuegos where vessels could nave found protection from the sea on May 24?" . The witness replied: "I do not think, unless we had gone up probably to the Isle of Pines, there was any place, so far as I can remember now, where would have been found smoother weather than we found off Cienfuegos, unless going very far to the eastward." The court also asked: "Could you have coaled any of the vessels on May 25 had you been ordered to do so?" To this the reply was: "I should judge so, to the best of my knowledge and be lief. I say I could coal, yes; I could coal at any time, but then I could not have coaled comfortably. For the other ships it was what we call a nasty sea and squally, rainy weather, and if I had my choice I would not have coaled on that day." As he left the stand Captain Miller asked that he might be excused if he had shown any temper. "I feel a little bit touchy about the Merrlmac," he said. Admiral Dewey assured him that he had displayed no temper. Captain Miller was succeeded on the witness stand by -Captain Theodore J. Jewell, who commanded the cruiser Min neapolis during the Spanish War. Cap tain Jewell said he had first fallen in with the flying squadron under the command of Commodore Schley on the evening of May 26. Captain Lemly quoted from Ad miral Schley's letter to the Senate com mittee on naval affairs, dated February 18, 1899. saying; "After having been In formed by the scouts commanded by such officers as Slgsbee, Jewell and Wise, that although they had tfeen off Santiago for a week they had seen nothing of Cervera's fleet since itleft Curacoa," and asked whether he had given to Admiral Schley this information or any other information concerning the Spanish fleet, the witness replied: "I gave him no information with refer ence to the subject wnatever." The Judge-Advocate asked: "At the time you were within signaling distance of the flagship of the flying squadron off Santiago, were you at any time asked any question by Cpmmodore Schley as to the presence of the Spanish squadron in Santiago?" "Not to my recollection." "Do you recollect whether you went on board the flagship Brooklyn at this time?" "I did not go on board that day." Captain Jewell said that when he had flrst seen Admiral Schley's statement as to the information he might have given concerning Cevera's fleet, he had written a letter to. the department denying that he had done so. Objection was made to this line of testimony, and it was not per sisted in. The witness said, In reply to a question from Mr. Raynor that he hzg no knowledge that Captain Slgsbee, speaking for himself, and for Captain Jewell and Wise, stated that Commodore Schley on the 26th, at Santiago, that neither he (the witness) nor Wise nor himself (Slgsbee), had seen anything or knew anything of the mbvements or whereabouts of the Spanish fleet. Nor did he -know whether Captain -Sigpbe.2vrote ejlter tjMrommodpr Schley stating that was' a. faou Coaling Question Opened Up. The court here asked a question which opened up the' coaling question. The question was: "How far could the Minneapolis have gone with her 400 tons of- coal at the time you state?" "If I had burned 400 tons of coal 1 would have made something like 1200 or 1300 miles. That would have left the bun kers empty. I was burning about 95 tons a day, and on that making 14 to 15 knots." Drawing from Captain Jewell the fact that the distance from Santiago to Key West Is 850 miles, Mr. Raynor said: "In view of what you said just now, will you explain the signals I read: '8:30 P. M., May 26, flagship to the Minneapolis: Have you enough coal to go to Key West?' Minneapolis to flagship: Just enough.' How do you explain that?" "I am giving my recollection at the time. Aa I said, my coal supply was reduced and I was concerned. There were a great many signals being made, and 1 replied to the signal without consulting the coal account particularly, and I considered that three days' steaming was about the limit I could safely go." "There is an error here of about 500 to 600 miles. Eight hundred and 1300, or 1400, are very different." "I estimated the distance I could steam. I did not usually provide, for burning every ounce of coal In the junkers, and, furthermore, we have got to allow for con tingencies. I was hauling the Area from the boilers very often on account of the leaks, and starting fresh fires In other .boilers. My coal expenditures was varia ble. I could not dep6na on it." "Then at this time you just had enough, according to these signals, to go to Key West?" "I arrived in Key West with less than 100 tons of coal on board." Captain Jewell" was then excused, and Captain McCalla was recalled for the purpose of correcting his testimony. While he was on the stand, the court asked him two questions, which together with the re plies were as follows: By the Court Was there any place In the vicinity of Cape Cruz where large ves sels could have found protection from westerly or southwesterly winds? "There was no place where the large ships could take protection from westerly and southwesterly winds." By the Court Had the fleet of Cervera been in the harbor of Cienfuegos, could It have been seen by the vessels blockading that port? , i "I should say not. The upper part of the masts might have beenVseen if they had been in the stretch of the river where it turns to the east, but I should not ex pect to have found them there. If they were behind the hill, they could not have been seen In my opinion." Captain McCalla was then excused, and the court adjourned for luncheon. "Fighting" Bob Evans Called. When the court convened for the after noon session, Rear-Admiral Robley D, Evans who, as Captain, commanded the battle-ship Iowa during the battle off San tiago, was called to the witness stand. He stated that he had first joined the flying squadron off Cienfuegos on May 22, at 1 P. M., when he took the dispatches from Admiral Sampson to Commodore 'Schley by his executive officer, Commander Rogers, he not seeing the Commodore himself. As the dispatches were sealed he did not-know their contents. "Please state what, if anything, was done while this squadron was off Cien fuegos toward developing the fact as to whether the Spanish squadron, under Ad miral Cervera, was in the harbor of Cien fuegos?" "There was nothing done so far as I know." "What, if anything, within your knowl edge, was done toward destroying or pre venting the further completion of the enemy's batteries in the vicinity of Cien fuegos?" "On Sunday afternoon, I am quite sure, Commodore Schley formed his squadron in columns and stood in to a range of about a mile and . a. half from shore, (Concluded on Second Page.)

A de tailed account of the capture of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the missionary, in Tur key, has been received in a letter from Miss H. Haskell, of Samokov, to a rela tive here. Her letter says Miss Stone had been holding her usual Summer school for Bible workers In Bansko, Macedonia. Oh September 3 a party consisting of six students from the collegiate institute at Samova, three or four Bulgarian teach ers, Mr. and Mrs. Tsllka, who had spent several years in America; Mrs. Ooshera and Miss Stone, started for Djuma, 12 hours' travel. From there they were to go to their different homes. At about 4:30 that afternoon, as they were resting In the mountains, Miss Stone -and Mrs. Tsllka being on horseback and the rest on foot, they were surrounded by 30 or 40 armed men. The men were dressed in Turkish costumes, but were either masked or blackened. They ordered the party to march and drove them up the steep moun tain side. Miss Stone told the party they were taking them away from the road to rob and perhaps kill them. She did not speak of capture, as it Is almost unheard of for brigands to take 'women. After going an hour's distance the brigands stopped and demanded their money. They took what gold they had, but returned the silver. When this was over some of them said to Miss Stone, "We want you," and ordered her and Mrs. Tsllka to go with them. She made no remonstrance. Mr. Tsllka made a move to follow his wife, but they forced him back. A part of the brigands kept watch on those that remained, to keep them from hurrying to inform the government, but next morning they let them 50. The brigands murdered one of the men of the party before, the eyes of the captives, to getnis horse. They took this animal, as well as the horses ridden by Miss Stone and Mrs. Tsllka. The students came to Samokov and wired Dr. House, at Salon ika, Miss Stone's station. He immediate ly went to the American Consul, and also telegraphed Consul-General Dickinson, who knew Miss Stone. The news spread over Bulgaria like a flash, for Miss Stone was widely known and greatly beloved. Heiress Died in the Poorlionse. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept. 30.

A suggestion which is meeting with favor Is to change the name of the Philippine Islands to the McKInley Islands, says the Washington correspondent of the Tribune.
