BrltUb. Accused of Brutality.
XEW YORK. Oct. 2L A London Times
special to the New Tork Times says:
Referring to the fresh outbreak of Anglo
phobia in Vienna, a correspondent In the
Austrian Capital Quotes the especially in
fluential Catholic organ, The Vaterland,
which publishes an article headed: '"Lord
Kitchener as a Hangman." It says the
Commander-in-Chief of the British forces
in South Africa, In despair of being able
to conquer the Boers by honest war. has
for a long time had recourse to brutal
ity. His bloodthlrstlness -was formerly re
strained by the British Government, but
it now appears that a free hand has been
given to him.
The Vaterland goes on to say that the
announcement that Commandant General
Botha -will meet violence by reprisals will
convince all that the Boers are not in
timidated, but only exasperated, by Lord
ICitchener'-s Inhumanity. The sanguinary
seed sown by the British Commander will
produce a harvest of blood and none can
"blame the Boer leaders if they have re
course to a terrible retribution.

WHY FRANCE DELAYS.
Tnrkey Might Be Disrupted Were
Lornndo Claim to Be Pressed.
PARIS, Oct 21. The fact that France
has not yet employed coercive measures to
enforce a settlement of the Lorando
claim by Turkey Is due to the unsettled
condition of the interior cf the country,
it is feared that such action might bring
about the disruption of Turkey The
tnisgovernment of Macedonia, the excesses
committed in Armenia, and the dissatis
faction in the Island of Crete have reached
such a p"gint as to constitute a menace to
peace. The powers acting on the initiative
of Russia and France are now discussing
the basis of an understanding for JOlht
representation to the Porte, and for event
ually obliging the Sultan not only to
carry out the clauses of the treaty of
Berlin relating to Macedonia and Arme
nia, but to give guarantee's for further re
formb and the settlement of numerous
rending questions.
The Ragrttatl Uttltvcn.
NEW YORlv, Oct 2L A London Times
special to the New York Times says:
The Constantinople correspondent of the
Times says the convention regarding the
Bagdad Railway i far from being brought
to a conclusion. The kllornetrlc guarantee
occasions difficulties. The statement that
the Porte has offered to conclude the con
vention promptly in return for pecuniary
facilities is altogether erroneous. Doubt
less, however, the Germans would lend
financial assistance if the Porte, grant
ing all they ask, Including the Kowelt ex
tension, would expedite the conclusion of
the convention.
The Novoe Vremya publishes an article
on the Persian Gulf, quoted by the Odes
so correspondent of the Times. It IS writ
ten by a Russian, who states that in Jan
uary, 1KX), a German mission visited Ko
welt accompanied by the German Cohsul
Gcneral at Constantlnnnln tna uvmi en
gineers. The mission. In the name of the
Sultan, asked the Shelk to oede to It the
village of Kabne, situated on the northern
shore of the Kowelt Inlet The cession ot
trls village to the Bagdad Railway Com
pany is regarded ash Ighly expedient
While declaring that the Sultan's wish
was law, the Sheik said he found It Impos
sible to make over the village, since he
was unable to answer for the acts of the
Arabs. "What you build today would be
torn up tomorrow' said Shelk Mu
barakh. Public Favors Sanios-Duniont.
NEW YORK Oct 2L The question
whether Santos-Dumont technically won
the Doutsch prize arouses the keenest in
terest in sporting circles, and is eagerly
discussed today by the leading Parisian
newspapers. With the exception of the
Matin, which supports the contention of
the Marquis de Dion that Santos-Dumont
did not accomplish the course within the
time limit of 20 minutes, all the papers, In
cluding Figaro, the Gaulois, the Temps,
the Debats and the Slecle, hold that Santos-Dumont
wen within the time limit pre
fccrlbed by the conditions. This is also the
Opinion of Baron de Zuylen, the president
of the Automobile Club, who is recog
nized as an unquestionable authority on
such matters, says the Tribune's Paris
representative. Popular feeling meanwhile
is running high in favor of Santos-Dumont
and considerable indignation Is ex
pressed against the members or the tech
nical committee, who are accused of
quibbling to debar an enthusiastic ama
teur balloonist, who, although by no
means a millionaire, has expended 400,(kn)
francs and risked his life 25 times to win
the Deutsch prize.
The Q.ueen Victoria Memorial.
NEW YORK Oct 2L In a fortnight's
time the public will be able to Inspect the
plans and models of the Queen Victoria
memorial to be placed in St James Park
says the Tribune's London correspondent
In view of the criticisms and suggestions
which have been passed with regard to
the plans since they were privately ex
hibited at thfc Foreign Office, some alter
ations, principally in tne nature of modi
fications, have taken place. JL sketch of
the model for a 'monumental group and
foundation has, however, been much elab
orated by the sculptor, Mr, Brook. The
architectural plans, too, for what has been
named the Queen's Garden have, at the
suggestion of the architect Aston Webb,
been now produced In plaster. It has
been wisely decided that the plans' of
other architects which were not accepted
will be on view at the same time.
Roherts-Brodrlck Relations.
NEW YORK Oct 2L Concerning the
South African situation, the London cor
respondent of the Tribune cables:
"There are some curious tales going
about with regard to the relations between
Lord Roberts and Mr. Brodrlck. It Is
that things are not moving as smoothly
as they might db In. Pall Mall, and that
th Secretary of, War Is not receiving
that support from the military side of
the War Office which he Is entitled to
expect Mr. Brodrlck Is certainly doing
his best to introduce reforms In hfs de
partment, but the permanent officials are
bo powerful that a thorough reorganiza
tion Is not to be expected. Not a few
military men believe that Lord Kitchener
Is the only person really capable of tack
ling the serpent of red tape which stran
gles every attempt to run the War Of
"flco on business lines."
Labor Unions in Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG. Oct 5. The press
has recently contained several small
paragraphs which would not attract at
tention in other countries which are in
teresting novelties In Russia. The furni
ture and cabinet-workers of Minsk have
organized a club of 400 members, a club
Under official control, but nevertheless a
club or union The worklngmen of
Nlcolayeff have also been encouraged to
organise a union. It appears that It is
now the government's avowed policy to
direct the worklngmen's movement by
mesne of organization under official con
trol. The president of the club at Nlc
olayeff is the local chief factory 'inspect
or. The new system is said to have been
conceived and planned by the head of the

NEW YORK, Oct 2L This Is the 961M
anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, and
the Nelson monument in Trafalgar Square
is again decorated by the Naval League,
says the Tribune's London representative.
The column Is not festooned on this oc
casion, the scheme of decoration being
confined to the plinth and base. A large
laurel wreath Is suspended from the
mouth of each of Landseer's four lions
and streams of laurel run from their
necks to the bottom of the column. Beau
tiful wreaths and Jloral designs are dis
played on the plinth and interspersed with
shields showing the arms of England, Ire
land, Scotland, Wales and the colonies.
Austrian Are Arinlnp? for the Fray.
NEW YORK. Oct 2L The Berlin corres
pondent of the Londbn Times cables the
following, which is also published In the
New York Times: Attempts are being
made in Berlin to minimize the warnings
to the German Government regarding the
proposed customs tariff made by the Aus
trian Premier and semi-official press.
Even the Agrarians, however, will be un
able to close eyes for long. The Vosstche
Zeitung says that the Austrian Premier's
words are cool. Calm and well-considered;
he knows exactlywhat he wants. The
Austrlahs are "arming for the fr&y, for
the struggle provoked by the raising of the
German tariff and by nothing else."
A Valuable Discovery.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 5. A member
of the faculty of Moscow Imperial Techni
cal School recently discovered that a mi
crophone attached to an electric arc lamp
by wire will transmit sounds through the
medium of another arc lamp. Repeated
expsrlments were made in which the two
lamp? wero separated by a thick wall.
The inventor read in a low voice a lec
ture on hlB discovery, and his words,
spoken Into the microphone, were comfor
tably audible lh the next room. With
characteristic carelessness, the Russian
newspapers failed to state Whether the
lamps Were burning, but it Is probable
that this Is t6 be assumed.

NEW YORK Oct. 21 The Simla corre
spondent Of the New York Times and the
London Times says the envoy from Ca

LEAVE FOR OLD ENGLAND
DUKE AND DU.CHESS OF YORK
START ON THEIR HOME VQYAGEi
Halifax Made Their Departure the
Occasion of a Hearty Demonstra
tionWeather Disagreeable.
HALIFAX, Oct. 21. The departure of
the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and
York from Halifax today was made the
occasion of a hearty demonstration to
their royal highnesses. It is estimated
that 50.000 visitors to the city lined the
-wharves and water front. The crowd
cheered; lustily as the royal yacht passed
slowly dpwn the harbor, beginning her
long voyage back to England. 3
The morning broke cloudy and windy,
In great contrast to the weather which had
prevailed during the royal tour. A snow
storm came on just before the party
started, and in this the yacht soon dis
appeared from view. It was shortly after
D o'clock when the first-class cruisers Nl
obe and Diadem came closely up "the
harbor, parsed and saluted the Ophlr as
she lay with tha Duke and Duchess on
board at the navy yard pier. Continuing,
the warships turned about half a mile fur
ther up the harbor, and took up their sta
tion In the rear, in the meantime, the
royal yacht, amid booming of cannon,
began gradually working herself clear of
the pier. The band aboard the royal
yacht played familiar selections as the
distance yidened between the white ship
and the pier. "My Old Kentucky Home,"
and "Will Ye No Come Back Again"
came floating over the waters shoreward,
deeply artecting1 many In the multitude
In half an hour after Casting from the
pier, the royal yacht was proceeding down
the harbor, the Duke standing On the
bridge. The Nlobe artd Diadem brought
up the rear, while the royal yacnt wag pre
ceded by .the Quail, Pallas, Prosperlna,
Neptune and torpedo-boats. The Cable
boat Minia fired rockets and a salute
boomed from York redoubt.
At 9:20, a signal was flashed to the
Ophlr from Admiralty House, bidding
farewell to the Duke and wishing the
Duchess and himself a safe passage. Lord
Mlnto, the Governor-General, Immediately
sent a cable to Joseph Chamberlain, an
nouncing the sailing of the Ophlr from
Halifax with the royal travelers.
If the weather continues thick, It is the
opinion of naval 'officers that the royal
yacht and convoys will not call at New
foundland, but will Ball direct 4o Eng
land, where the Duke has pressing en
gagements. The Duke, In bidding farewell
to tHe members of the Canadian Govern
ment, was very cordial and presented tc
them autographs, pictures and souvenirs.
ROBBERY ON THE OPHIR.
Duke of Tecli Lost a Gold Watcli He
Prized Highly.
HALIFAX, N. S., Oct. 21. A sensation
has been caused liere y the discovery
that a robbery was perpetrated yester
day on board the royal yacht Ophr. The
best detectives in Canada .have been work
ing for the past 24 hours on what is prov
ing to be a very puzzling case. Front' the
quarters of his serepe highness, the Duke"
of Teck, a gold Watch was stolen. The
timepiece had been owned by some mem
ber of the Kduse of feck for four gen
erations and Was highly prized. A wdl
let, containing about 20 sovereigns, w"a8
alos stolen. '
In addition to the Officers afid creW of
the Ophlr, thdre were comparatively" few
on the Ophir apart from the members tit
the royal party. On the Invitation' of His
Royal Highness, the Duke of Cornwall
and York, and a ndmber of officials who
had manned the train conveying the "royal
party to Halifax, dined on board the
Ophlr. The Duke's guestsinclUded Sir
Wilfrid Laurier and several of 'the Fed
eral Ministers. The theft was not discov
ered until some time after the guests had
left the ship. Not the slightest clew has
bceft obtained to the identity of the thief.
MANCHURIAN CONVENTION.
As Near as Can Be Learned It la Very
Favorable to China.
LONDON, Oct. 22. A summary of the
Manchurian convention which LI Hung
Chang and M. Lessar, Russian Minister
at PeKln, are negotiating, was tele
graphed by the Shanghai correspondent
of the Standard. According to this, Rus
sia agrees to return to China the
provinces of Liao Ting, Kiro and Heilung
Klang, north of the Wugary River, 16
withdraw the Russian troops from Liao
Ting during the current year and from
the other two provinces gradually within

NEW HEIR TO THE THRONE.
Empress of China Mnkes a Selection
Which Reformers Disapproved.
PEKtN. Oct. 21. A new heir to the
throne wlil be appointed When the Dowa
ger Empress meets Prince Chlng and sev
eral of the Viceroys at Knl Feng, capital
of the Province of Ho Nan, Where there
will bo a general discussion of the affairs
of the empire. This news Is believed to
be authentic, as It was received from Chi
nese officials. The present heir has proved
to be dissipated and Uncontrollable.
Moreover, his father's status as a banished
prince makes his succession contrary t&
Chinese traditions. The candidate 6f the
Empross is said to be Pcltze, a nephew
of Prince Tuan, and who is intellectually
weak. He participated In .the Boxer ag
giesslons, personally leading an attack
on the French cathedral. The reform fac
tion disapproves of the selection, and sug
gests that the powers oppose It if the Em
press wishes to carry it out. Prince
Ching will start about November 1 from
here to act as grand marshal of the court
on Its journey from Kal Feng.
The heir to the throne is Pu ChUn, son
of Prince Tuan. He was born In 1SS4.
In 1SS5 Prince Tuan, who had become. one
of the most powerful of the advisers of
the Dowager Empress, obtained the hfchor
of havlhg his eon named by the Emperor
and a short time afterward Pu Chun was
selected as heir to the Widow of ohe Of
the wealthiest Manchu PrlhCes. In the
Autumn of lS98. when the Emperor Was
deprived of all but nominal power, It was
announced that Pu Chun had been selected
as heir apparent to the throne. It wag
announced in November last that Prince
Tuan had fled to Kan Su. He is a Martohu
of pure descent la the grandson Of the
Emperor Taouk'Wang, who died In 1850,
and a nephew of the Emperor Heah Fong,
who died In 1851. Prince Tuan's 'father
Prince Tun, was the most likely heir to
the throne after Taouk Wang's death, but
his 'succession was set aside for some
reason which has not been made public.
About the middle of this year, Prince
Tuan was said to be fomehtlng an Insur
rection In Western Mongolia. He was last
reported to be at Ulumski, In Turkestan,
to which part of the world he had been
banished as a result of the part which he
took in tho Boxer uprising.
Q
Pibketlnef Injunction Modified.
CHICAGO. Oct. 21.-Judge Kohlsa-at, of
the United States Circuit Court, today
modified his injunction order against the
members of the International Association
of Machinists in the Allls-Chatnbers case,
so that peaceful pfcketlng or moral sua
sion is permitted. The court issued the
formal order today, and In the several
counts of the Injunction specifically
barjred acts of violence or threats tending
toward Intimidation. The counsel for the
Machinists' Association mit the nupsHrm
whether this form Of injunction would al-
low peaceiui picKeting, to Which the court
replied that It was not intended to pro-
vent mbral suasion, hut that it was im
possible to draw the line between peace
ful picketing and Intimidation, and that
oach case would have to stand on Us own
merits. The Machinists' Association at
once appealed the case to the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals.
"THE AMERICAN DANGER"
Germans Discussed It In Connection
With the New Tariff.
BERLIN, Oct 2l.-AThe Bunder der In
dustriellen held a general meeting today,
at which was discussed the "American
Danger," and the new German tariff. The
general secretary of the bund, DrT Wend
landt, described the American danger as
grave, and said that Germany's manufac
turers were frequently conscious of this
danger. He quoted figures showing the
extraordinary growth of exports from the
United States to Germany, and the de
cline in the movement of goods In the
opposite direction, and complained that
the average of duties imposed by the
United States Is 50 per cent, while that
Of Germany is only 10 per dent A further
handicap, he said, is the requiring of a
declaration of invoices before a Consul,
thus giving Americans possession of busi
ness secrets of the Germans. He asserted
that the United States Goverment main
tained detectives In Germany for the pur
pose' of discovering trade secrets and un
dervaluations, and Cited the case of a fac
tory in Saxony which had been ruined
thereby. Referring to President Roose
velt's reported wish to came to terms with
Germany, the speaker said:
"Germany's best policy will be to wait
for the Americans to come to u, and
then to demand the removal' of the worst
Injustices and annoyances before we begin
a fixed treaty. Germany should refuse to
act until the United States reduced the
duties below 20 per cent."
Discussing the remedies at Germany's
disposal, Dr. Wendlandt said the chief
was the tariff, and must be applied- This,
he declared,- "would bring America to her
senses, ahd counteract the boundless des.
potism of trusts."
He recompended the establishment of a
central European customs union against
the. United States, ahd admitted the great
difficulties In the way of this, declared
that If It should prove Impossible then
a common agreement should be made to
treat American goods differently from
those of other countries.
Other speakers warned their hearers
against a tariff war against the United
States, dince that country can easily get
from Other countries wljat It now Imports
from Germany, while Germany would be
Unable to dd the same.
The bund adopted resplutlons favoring
the passage of the tariff bill after drop
ping the double system of duties on grain,
In order that Germany may have duties
for the - securing of advantageous trade
relations wtth the United States. Tne
bun,d alsovecommended that the plan for
a customs union against the United States
be further considered.

Lieutenant Wells was then recalled
and testified regarding the battle
of July 3. He said he did not remember
the ranges at which the Brooklyn fired,
but thought 1100 yards was the shortest
He "described the turn of the Brooklyn,
and the chase after the Spanish ships.
When the Vlzcaya ran ashore the Colon
was about 10,000 yards ahead of the Brook
lyn, and for a time firing ceased. He
said that he had received orders to get
a quantity of rapid-fire ammunition. Ow.
Ing to the character of the coast. It was
expected that the Brooklyn and Colon
would come to close quarters. He was
ordered to have this ammunition ready
to close with the Colon, and give her a
rapid fire when they got close together.
"He then described the chase and final
surrender of the Colon. He said he had
not seen the Texas when the Brooklyn
made her turn. At one time during the
battle, he said, the Brooklyn seemed U
be alone engaging three ships.
Lieutenant Wells Called.
When Lieutenant Wells finished his de
scription of the battle the question of
dispatches was taken up. A number of
dispatches were shown to the witness,
and he was asked as to their receipt by
Commodore Schley. One" was from Sec
retary Long to the American Consul at
Kingston, dated Washington, May 28,
saying that It must be delivered to Schley
at once and Informing him (Schley) that
unless unsafe for his squadron, the de
partment wished him to remain off Santi
ago, and asking If .he could not take pos
session of Guantanamo as a coaling sta
tion; also a dispatch from Seoretary Long
to Captain Cotton of the Harvard, dated
Washington May 9, enclosing dispatches
to Commodore Schley, telling him to hold
on at all hazards, that the New York,
Oregon and New Orleans were on the
way; also two dispatches from Secretary
Long to the dispatch-boat Harvard, dated
Washington, May 30, one informing him
that the commander-in-chief had started
to join him, and the other telling him
that Sagua, 25 miles east of Santiago, had
been reported as a good place to land,
from which It would be easy to reaoh the
heights In the rear of Santiago, the wit
ness said had been received on May 31.
The cablegram from Secretary Long,
dated Washington, May 27, to tlje cabie of
fice at Mole St. Nicholas, directing that it
be delivered to the next American wdr
vessel tb arrive and informing Commodore'
Schley "that the most absolutely Impor
tant thing to know now is whether the
Spanish lleet la in Santiago," etc., was
shown the witness. He stated that It had
been received by the Commodore May 30.
The Colon had been discovered in the
harbor of Santiago by Commodore Schley
on the morning of May 2S. ,
Mr. Raynor at this point exhibited a
chart upon wTiich there were notations re
garding the soundings taken In the vicin
ity of Santiago harbor and the strength
of the batteries there, this Information
Being given As of date April 3. iSOB,
"Now give tho date the Navy Depart
ment Issued the order which has been re
ferred to Ifi this case about not crippling
ghlps by shore batteries," asked Mr. Ray
nor. "April 6, 1SDS," was the response.
Mr. Rayfior asked the witness If he had
any othfir Information in refefen.de to the
batteries at Santiago except that given
6h the" map referred to. He stated the
Gommodote had received a memorandum
from the Bureau Of Nav&l Intelligence,
embodying about the same facts as con
tained on the chart.
Schley a Brave Officer.
In reply to questions, Lieutenant Weils
said he saw a great deal of Commodore
Schley throughout the war. During the
bombardments of Santiago and the
naval battle resulting in the destruction
of the Spanish fleet, the Commodore, ac
cording to the witness, was ''thoroughly
fearless ahd self-possessed on all occa
sions." Mr. Hanna, who Cross-examined the
witness, exhibited a letter dated May 30,
18D8. and written by Commodore Schley,
Which cdntalned a reference to the dis
patches that had been broUght by the
Dupont and giving a general account of
the operations of the flying squadron. He
sought by this letter, as stated by him,
to show that the No. 1 dispatch, known
as the "Dear Schley" letter, was re
ceived on the 22d of May, and not on the
23d. The Witness said:
"The Conjunction of this letter and the
changed indorsement in lead pencil on
the back of one of ths dispatches would
seem to indicate that the dispatch might
have beeh received on the 22d."
After the examination had proceeded
along this line for some time Mr. RaynOr
addressed the court as follows:
"May Is please the court, we admit we
got No. 7 by .the Dupont, which joined the
flying squadron off CienfUegOff on May
22. 1S98. and wc admit that we got No.
S by the Hawk and the Marblehead. NOW,
the trouble is about the other No. 7.
Where did the duplicate of No. 7 go? We
cahnot admit we got It by the Iowa, but
We agree upon three propositions: Tne
DuOont carried No. 7, tho Hawk No. 8
ahd the Marblehead No. 8. Wfe admit the
receipt of this memorandum from Cap
tain McCalla by the Hawk, but what we
have not been able to find out and can
not admit Is that the Iowa Carried No.
7."
Mr. Rayfior turned id Adrtiiral Schley
and asked: "You admit that, dotl't you.
Admiral?" to which the Admiral replied,
"Certalnlv, We admit that"
Lieutenant Well3 wag still under crOss
examihatlon when the court todk Ub usu
al recess for luncheon. When the court
met this afternoon Mr. Hanna continued
his examination of Lieutenant Wells.
"How do you account specifically for
the absence Of the receiving stamp im
hrlrtt on the duplicate 'Dear Schley' dis
patch?" he asked.
"It is possible that I jotted down that
note oh them when they were hahded to
me. Of course, it was the custom to put
the receiving stamp On letters generally."
"Cah It ba possible that the Commodore
retained them for some time?"
"Dear Schley" Dispatch.
"It Is possible, but not probable. He
sometimes held dispatches In the cabin
for a time, but he generally sent them
down as soon as received."
In reply to questions the witness said
he remembered absolutely nothing what
ever about the receipt of dispatch NO. 8
from Admiral Sampson to Commodore
S"chlcy. saying that the Spanish fleet WAs
probably at Santiago, except What was
revealed by the receiving stamp indorse
ments. He skid that on this dispatch as
on the "Dear Schley" letter there had at
first been an Indorsement fihowlhg Its re
ceipt on May 24, and subsequently an
other written over the first indicating Its
receipt on the 23d of that month,
"Your pencil marks then cannot be
taken as a very clear Indication as to
when these papers were received?" ques
tioned Mr. Hanna, but the. witness re
plied that they could be, saying:
"Generally, I should say yes. I do not
Intend to be infallible on that subject."
"But the 'Dear Schley letter you say
Would Beem to have been received on
the 22d of May?"
"Yes, sir." ,
"So that, although actually received on
the 22d It bore the Indorsement of '23d'
and '24th.' "
"One bore a date '23d' and another bore
a date '24th,' as I recollect."
Mr. Hanna then put In as testimony dis
patches Nos. 5 and 6, both from Admiral
Schley, directing a strict blockade at
Cienfuegos and the latter enclosing the
McCalla memorandum.
The witness was again questioned con
cerning the receipt of more than one copy
of the McCalla memorandum, but he
maintained that he remembered only one
copy, at th same time admitting the pos
sibility of the receipt of another. Asked
when he had tlr3t seen the dispatch Intro
duced by Captain Cotton, the witness said
he did not remember to have ever seen It
This is the dlopatch sent to the Harvard
saying that the Spaniards were probably
at Santiago, and the one which Admiral
Cotton said he had delivered to Commo
dore Schley, May 27. In this connection,
Mr. Hanna said be had not been able to
find the original of this dispatch among
Admiral Schley's papers. He also re
marked Incidentally that there were oth
ers of Admiral Schley's papers missing.
Going back to the arrival of the Dupont
and Iowa on May 22, the witness said It
was possible that they brought dispatches,
and also possible that they brought the
McCalla memorandum. Still, he thought
that If there had been duplicate copies
they would have been found among Ad
miral Schley's papers.
Papers of Schley.
Mr. Hanna then questioned Lieutenant
Wells closely about Admiral Schley's pa
pers, but he repeated that since he naa
boxed them up and turned them over to
Admiral Schley, In 1SSS, he had not seen
them until he saw them recently at the
Navy Department "I saw them vcrv
much spread about at the department
since I have been here," he said.
.. "Under what circumstances did you ex
amine ...em at the department?"
"I examlnedv them to make copies of
certain papers. I applied to different offi
cers, rney were nanaea to me. i maae
such copies as I desired, and turned the
papers over to the responsible persons."
At Mr. Hanna's instance, Lieutenant
Wells repeated his testimony concerning
the departure of the flying squadron from
Cienfuegos to Santiago. He said the Com
modore had made no special communica
tion to him that he meant tb take his
immediate departure for Santiago, but
that he nad gotten the impression from
letters and dispatches written then by
Commodore Schley that it was his pur
pose to leave the night they did. Mr.
Hanna then called attention to two letters
from the Commodore saying he would not
leave Cienfuegos until next day. The wit
ness said he did not recall writing these
letters, but thought he had probably done
so. He also thought that there probably
were other dispatches leading to his in
ference that the squadron was to leave
that night "There must have been some
thing else," he said, "because we did leave
that night instead of the next day."
Mr. Hanna also questioned Lieutenant
Wells about the war bulletin received
from the Adula. while the flying squadron
lay off Cienfuegos, saying that while Ccr
vera's fleet had entered Santiago, It had
left there later. He said the document
was In the shape of a small handbill, and
evidently it had been Issued by some
newspaper In that vicinity. He also said
he retailed the paper very distinctly, but
could not recall by whom It was issued.
Lieutenant Wells said he had never had
any conversation with Commodore Schley
concerning the retrograde movement He
remembered discussions as to the possi
bility of going to Gonaives Bay to cOal,
but his recollection was that it was only
to be done In certain contingencies.
Among other dispatches read by Mr.
Hanna, and On which the witness was
questioned, wad one dated May 2S, from
Commodore Schley to the Navy Depart
ment giving information of the capture of
the Restormel, with coal for the Spanish
fleet. This was the day before the posi
tive location of the Spanish ships in the
harbor of Santiago. Mr. Hartna ques
tioned the witness about the bombard
ment of the Colon, on May 31. He asked:
"What was the purpose of Commodore
Schley In regard to the Colon on May 31?"
Bombardment of the Colon.
The witness replied: "His Idea was to
go in and fire on her with the larger
guns, hoping to get a shot 'Into her at
that range to disable her, perhaps, The
range was 7000 or 7500 yards. The Colon
appeared to be close to the entrance. Her
log, however, showed her to be a mile
or two Inside the Morro. We thought
she was. near the entrance."
The witness said that, In speaking of
the intentions of the Commodore In con
nection with the bombardment, he was
only giving his impressions, and could
not undertake to give actual conversa
tions. The witness said, while it was pos
sible there had been a signal to the Iowa
not to go in closer on the day of the Co
lon's bombardment, he did not believe
such was the case, for he was constantly
at the point from where the signals were
sent. Still, for any vessel to have gone in
closer would have broken the formation,
and would probably have subjected the
Commanding officer to a reprimand.
In reply to questions from Mr. Hanna,
witness said that, while he could not re
peat actual conversations With Comnio
doro Schley regarding the retrograde
movement, he was sure that the move
ment was made because of the Commo
dore's anxiety about tho coal supply of
the vessels of the fleet He knew, said
the witness, that the Spanish fleet was
lh the vicinity, and felt that It was not
desirable to meet It without an adequate
fuel supply.
The court adjourned at 4 o'clock with
Lieutenant Wells still on the stand.
