WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. The hands' of
the elongated antique timepiece which
stands against the wall In the hall occu
pied by the Schley court of Inquiry pointed
to 12:45 today when Judge-Advocate Lemly
announced that he had no more witnesses
to call, and Mr. Raynor said that no
witnesses would be summoned on behalf
of Admiral Schley In sur-rebuttal. For a
moment It appeared as if the now famous
case was about to reach a sudden conclu
sion. But this delusion was soon dissi
pated by the announcement on the part ot
the Judjre-AdVOCat that ho mltr-hf nalr tn
be allowed to bring In one more witness
Monday, and also a statement from Mr.
Raynor that Admiral Schley himself
would desire to return to the stand Mon
day to correct errors in his testimony as
olhclally reported.
There is a probability that the Admiral
will use considerable time in going over
the printed record of what he said, and
thero s also an understanding that he
will make some additions to the former
statements.. But It Is not believed that
beyond what he may have to say there
will be much more testimony taken In the
case. The only witness that the Judge
Advocate still has In mind is Lieutenant
Strauss, and Captain Lemly said today
that If the Lieutenant's attendance could
b secured, he would detain the court for
a short time only. Captain SIgsbee also
Will return to the stand Mondav tn mnlrn
corrections In the testimony given yester
day by him. These details completed, the
argument of counsel will begin, and then
counsel and the public will -withdraw and
leave the court to its deliberations. Tho
task before the court Is not a light one
and It may be weeks before the final ver
dict will be reached.
Today's witnesses -were Svlvwitpp Rr-
vel, a newspaper correspondent who saw
service In the Cuban campaign; Lieuten
ant Hood, who commanded the Hawk dur
ing the Spanish War, and also a number
of officers who were heard yesterday and
whoreturned to the stand to correct tes
timony. The court held only one session
and adjourned over until Monday.
The attendance in court today was the
smallest since the sessions began. Com
paratively few of the reserved seats were
occupied at the beginning of today's sit
ting, and Lieutenant Crawford, Admiral
Dewey's private secretary, -who has han
dled the distribution or tickets -ontvi wn
tact. Invited those present to the front
when he discovered that the seats would
not be claimed by ticket-holders, thu3
giving the court an audience and at the
same time affording the chancevlsltors a
good opportunity to hear the proceedings.
Admiral SchleV WAS in th onnrtr
half an hour before proceedings began and
speaking of the correction of his testi
mony next week said:
"There were five whole days of it, and to
go over it and make the necessary correc
tions is no light task."
It Is probable that he will have some
thing more to say concerning his interview
on May 18 with Admiral Sampson, rela
tive to which Captain Chadwlck spoke
yesterday.
How long the court may take to
consider the evidence is entirely prob
lematical. The members of the tribunal
are evidently preparing to davote con
siderable time to the consideration of the
testimony, for they have taken rooms in
the city for this purpose. The testimony
covers 1600 printed pages, and the 'court
sat 36 days in listening to It With the
additions yet to be' made in the way of
argument and documents the record prob
acy win run over 1700 pages.
Order of Argument.
Judge-Advocate Lemly announced that
counsel had agreed on the order of the
speeches in closing the case, subject to the
sanction of the court. Mr. Hanna is to
open ior the department He will be fol
lowed by Captain Parker and Mr. Raynor
for Admiral Schley, and Judge-Advocate
Lemly will close for the department Ad
miral Dewey announced that this arrange
ment was satisfactory to the court
Captain Lemly then brought up the
question of the character of the argument
to be made, saying:
"I would like for my own information
to ask the Instructions of the court as
to whether or not we are expected in the
closing argument to confine ourselves to
the evidence and to the scope of the pre
cept as defined by the court I mean the
arguments made by both counsel for the
applicant and by my associate and my
self. Mr. Raynor-Of course, in making an
argument we won't pretend to refer to
anything not in the record. We are bound
by that, but I do not trant to have any
more restrictions placed upon my argu
ment than I would In any other court. 1
-want the constitutional right' to argue this
case within proper bounds and with great
respect to everybody concerned, but to
make criticisms as they appear proper to
me. or to make comment If I should find
for Instance, that I believed a witness
has not told the truth. I should not hesi
tate to say co.
Captain Lemlv That is rih
Admiral Dewey There won't be any
trouble about that. When we come to
that bridge we will cross It.
The First Witness.
Sylvester Scovil was then called as the
first witness of the day. He said that
while on the press boat Somers N.
Smith as a newspaper correspondent,
on May 27 or 2S. it came up with
the St. Paul. Of Which f'nntnJn lro
bee wae In command, off Santiago. There
was a conversation With Captain SIgsbee
through the megaphone, and he himself
had used the megaphone in conducing tho
Interview. The witness said the Somers
N. Smith was about 75 or 100 feet from
the St Paul during the conversation.
"Give us as nearly as you can the words
of that conversation." said Captain
Lemly.
"We had been sent to find Commodore
Schley, and the flr&t question of course
was, 'Where is Schley?" and the answer
from Captain SIgsbee was, 'You will' find
him In the Yucatan Passage,' and then,
inasmuch as our boat was- very slow. I
asked him to advise me whether he
thought we could catch Commodore
Schley If we followed him, and he stated
'Yes.'
"The second question was, 'Where Is
ccrvera?' and In answer to that Captain
aigsDce aia not speak for a moment He
consulted with somebody on the bridge
-of "the ship, and then answered: 'I am
not sure, but we caught an English col
lier trying to sneak into the harbor this
morning.' That was all the conversation
I remember to have had with Captain
SIgsbee personally. Other men on the
boat had eome conversation with him."
"Did Captain SIgsbee during any time
of the conversation inform yqu that tho
Spanish squadron was not In Santiago?"
"He did not tell us that the Spaniards
-were not In there."
On cross-examination Mr. - Scovil said
that he had been at the megaphone a
part of the time. He could not say wheth
er others on board the press boat had
talked, with Captain SIgsbee.
"Then," asked Mr. Raynor, "are you
prepared to say on your oath, that no one
in your boat asked Captain SIgsbee wheth
er Cervera was not In the harbor at San
tiago?" "It is possible," was J;hc reply, "that a
conversation might have taken place on
the part of -some one else, but as the
smitn was a small boat and as conver
sation must necessarily be in a loud tone
of voice, I think I would have heard it if
there had been any." -
."Are you then prepared to say that the
testimony of Mr. Hare, In which he fiald
that Captain SIgsbee had said that the
Spaniards were not at Santiago, is false?"
"No. I am not nreoared to sav that his
statement is false, and that no such con
versation took place but I can swear that
nothing of the kind was said while I was

Testimony Corrected. '
Mr. Scovil was then excused 'and a num
ber of the' -witnesses of. yesterday were
called for the purpose of making correc
tions In their testimony. While 'Captain
Eaton, of the Resolute, was on the stand
for this purpose, Captain ' Lemly asked
him:
"Which wav was' the Brooklyn heading
whenyou saw her funnels appear out "of
the smoke to the southward as you stated
yesterday?" . '
The, witness replied: "About southwest
as I saw her, nearly broadside on." '
He also said that when he saw the
Brooklyn making her turn "with com
parative rapidity," the turn 'had been
nearly completed.
Captain Chadwlck, while under call, said
In response to a question from Mr. Ray
nor, that theni had been a practical abro
gation' by the Navy Dep.artment . of the
precautionary orders concerning the bom
bardment of Spanish shore batteries, in
order to permit the bombardment of san
Juan, Porto Rico. He added that in his
opinion there had been a general abroga
tion of the order, but Mr. Raynor object
ed to the giving ot opinions.
Captain Chadwlck was then excused and
Lieutenant John Hood, who commanded
t th Hawk during- ..ie Spanisn War, was
recalled. He. was questioned. on, the point
made by Admiral Schley in his testimony
that the commanding officer of the Dol
phin had filed with the Navy Department
a memorandum In which he said, speak
ing of Hood's return from his mission to
Commodore Schley, while the latter lay
off Cienfuegos.
"Hood says a good many officers do not
telleve the Spaniards are there (at Cien
fuegos) at all, but they can only surmise."
In reply to a question as to what report
he had made on which such a memoran
dum could have been based, the witness
replied: v ,
"I reported to the commanding officer
of the Dolphin that I had conversed with
a number of officers, and that I did not
believe myself, nor did any of the officers
believe, as far as I can make out. that
the Spaniards were there, that there was
no reason for believing they were, and
I thought C6mmodoreSchley had con
vinced himself they were there on very
slender grounds."
Mr. Hanna Did you or not make any
report to the commanding officer of the
Dolphin, which would warrant the use of
language embodied in that memorandum?
"I did make such a report, one war
ranting stronger language than that."'
Mr. Hanna HOW did von trot tho nnen

"I never boarded the Adula. I returned

and had his written report I asked him

men killed and 160 -wounded.. Following is
the text of Lord Kitchener's dispatch,
dated Pretoria, October 31:
'T have "Just heard of a severe attack
made on the rearguard of Colonel Ben
son's column, when about 20 miles north
west of .Bethel, near Broken Laagte, dur
ing a thick mist The strength of the
enemy is reported to have, been 1000. They
-rushed two guns with the rear guard, but
It is uncertain whether they were able to
remove them. I.fear'our casualties were
heavy. Colonel Benson was wounded, but
not seriously A relieving column will
reach him this morning."
Later, Lord Kitchener telegraphed as
follows :
"Colonel Barton, who marched from tne
constabulary line yesterday, reached Ben
son's column, early this .'morning (Friday)
unopposed. He reports that Colonel Ben
son aiea of his wounds. The other casual
ties are the following:
"Killed Colonel Guinness., Major F. D.
Murray, Captains M. W. Lindsay and t
T. Thorould. Lieutenants E: V. I. Brooks
and R. E. Shepherd and Second Lieuten
ant A. J. Corlett Died of his wound,
Captain Eyre LI 6yd."
Lord Kitchener then gives the names or
13 other officers who were wounded, most
of- them srlou3ly, and then announces
that 31 noncommissloner officers and men
were killed and 1G0 wounded, adding that
four of the latter have since died of their
wounds. The dispatch then says:
"I assume that the two guns have been
recovered and the enemy has withdrawn,
but I have no further details. I deeply
i egret the loss of Colonel Benson and the
other officers and men who fell with him.
in Benson, the service loses a most gal
lant and capable officer, who Invarlablv
led hlj column with marked success and
judgment The lighting was at very close
quarters, and maintained with determina
tion by both sides. The enemy suffered
heavily, but I have not yet received a
reliable estimate. The Boers retired east."
Colonel Benson had been for some time
operating in the vicinity of Bethel, which
is northeast of Standerton. He surprised
a Boer laager, October 22, near Trichards
fonteln, taking 37 prisoners. Three days
later, according to Lord Kitchener's re
pdrt at the time, after a long night march,
the commandoes under Grubelaar and
Erasmus heavily attacked Benson's rear
guard and flanks at Yzirvarkfontein, but
were easily driven away. Whether this
was the attack which resulted so disas
trously or whether the Boers who had
been repulsed took advantage of the mist
to reattack is unexplained. Lord Kitch
ener does not give the date of the Bethel
engagement

paying that the fighting burghers were
determined to make reprisals If the Brit
ish continue hanging and shooting rebels
and others, to the effect that the Boer
authorities in South Africa affirm that
the adoption of reprisals would be bad
policy, and that, in order to strpne-thon
their position, they request Mr. Kruger
to let them know his opinion, as he still
has the greatest hold In the minds of
the burghers. The meeting lasted four
hours, and it was decided to advise Mr.
Kruger to comply with the request of the
Boer authorities and to take the opportu
nity to bring the subject of British exe
cutions in South Africa before the Euro-

IMPURE SERUM.
St. Lonli Patients Treated for Diph
theria Die of Lockjaw.
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 1. The donth list at
tributed to lockjaw, as the result of the '
ituuunisirauon of diphtheria anti-toxin,
managed by tho City Chemist, now num
bers 11, two deaths being reported today.
Eleven other cases are reported to the
Health Department as suffering from
lockjaw with slight chances for recov
ery. 'The cause of lockjaw in each case
is said to be poisoning from the city's
diphtheria anti-toxin. As a result of the
charges, the Health Department has be
gun the free distribution of tetanus anti
toxin. It Is designed to Inject the serum
Into tho blood of diphtheria patients who
have been inoculated with the tetanus
infected serum, and thus exposed to lock
jaw. The Health Department has an
nounced that no more diphtheria anti
toxin will be made by the City of St.
Louis.
The investigation ordered by the City
Coroner to determine positively the cause
of the deaths of the eight children who
are alleged to have died of lockjaw, fol
lowing the distribution of the antl-toxln.
is being pushed, nnd it is thought that
Its object will be accomplished In a few
days. Doctors BQlton, Fish and Waldron,
three of the most experienced bacteriolo
gists in St. Louis, are making tets with
the antl-toxln and with serum taken from
tne spinal columns of the dead children.
Dr. Ravold, the City Bacteriologist,
who made the anti-toxin complained of
from serum taken from a horse which de
veloped tetanus October 1 and was shot,
declares that If the animal's system con
tained tetanus baccili August 24, when
the last serum was taken from It, It was
impossible to detect It by an Inspection of
the horse.
At the Baptist Hospital, an investiga
tion has convinced Drs. A. B. NJcholls,
R. C. Harris and C. C. Morris that the
presence of tetanus germs in the city
anti-toxin- is indisputable. A guinea pig
inoculated with the antl-toxln Wednes
day" developed symptoms of lockjaw
Thursday morning and died today.
New Craft Range From Monster Bat-'
tic-Snips Down to Tnsfloat
Needed to Provide a Sym
metrical Navy. .
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1." Over and
above the four warships for which Con
gress directed him last session to pre
pare plans as a basis for appropriation
at the next session. Secretary Long has
before him the recommendations of the
board of naval construction looking to the
authorization by Congress vof the building
of 40 more vessels of classes from 'battle-ships
down to tugboats. The plans
for the two armored cruisers and two bat-tle-hips
projected by "Congress last ses
sion already have been prepared, and,
look to the construction of 16.000-ton bat-
tle-shin and 14.fi0rt.tnn nmlsnrs Thft
battle-ships and cruisers additional to
those which the construction board pro
posed probably will be of the same sizo
and general type. The board's complete
plan Is:
Three sen-going battle-ships of about
18.000 tons displacement
Two armored cruisers of about 14,000
tons displacement
Six gunboats of about 1200 tons.
Six gunboats of about 600 tons.
Six gunboats of about 200 tons-.
Two colliers of about lo.OOO tons.
One repair ship of about 7500 tons.
Six training-ships qf about 2000 ton3.
Four picket boats of about K0 tons.
Four tugboats.
While the above appears to be a startling
amount of naval construction to rerom
mend to Congress, it Is stated that It is,
after all, nearly a repetition of the pro
gramme submitted to that body through
Secretary Long by the construction board
last year, and is even smaller than tho
aggregate tonnage proposed to be au
thorized by the general, or Dewey board.
In each case it is explained the recom
mendations aye but the steps to be taken
to carry out the generul policy of pro
viding the United States with a modern
Navy of sufficient strength and made of
harmonious ' units". This policy waa
thought out carefully by the two" boards,
and If it is carried out as is proposed,
they declare that the symmetrical Navy
finally provided would be very much more
effective than the more numerous navies
of several of the European states.

TEHDENCIES OF THE TIMES
Minister Wu's Addrcnt it the Uni
versity of Michigan.
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 1. Wu Ting
Fang, Chinese Minister at Washington,
delivered an address before 4000 students
of the- university here tonight on "The
Tendencies of the Times." He said in
part:
"I fully appreciate the excellence of your
Political, economical And pflllpntlnnnl ovs-
tems. Too much cannot be said in praise
of the founders of this country for their
foresight; but, excellent as are the sys
tems founded, they are not yet perfect
ly suited to all tlm.es.
"China, lived too much in Its past I am
sorry for It Her literature and her gov
ernment are relics of the past. They
were all right when China was Isolated,
but in these days of progress are In
adequate for present needs."
Mr. Wu referred to the strife which Is
almost constantly being waged between
capital and labor In this country, and
said:
"It is said that capital Is antagonistic
to labor. Why Is- It so? One Is essential
to the other. Trusts and labor unions
should unite. Why should not disputes
between capital and labor be taken Into
the courts like civil suits for settlement?"
Referring to the Immigration laws of
the United States, Mr. Wu said:
"This country needs restrictive immi
gration laws of general scope, and not
laws that single out one race. The spe
cial laws against Chinese immigration
are the result of Ignorance of the facts.
China has 350,000,000 people, and her Im
mense territory is able to support this
population. All Chinamen love home and
have a horror of traveling abroad. All
Chinamen, except diplomats, who leave
China, come from the Province of Quang
rung, une uninese Darners in this coun
try should be removed."
Mr. Wu said that the treaty of 1SSS was
made to exclude Chinese labor, but sine
then laws had been passed keeping out
Chinese merchants and tradesmen: con
sequently, the high and worthy Chinese
do not get Into this country. Mr. Wu said

Heretofore there has been a tariff which
prevented such trade. The Consul-General
says there have been times when bar
ley and wheat became so scarce at Tan
gier as to bring exorbitant prices, whllf
further down tho coast, at Casta Blanca
and Saffl, where the land is remarkably
fertile, grain was'so cheap as not to p'av
for the cost of Its reaping and was al
lowed to rot In the field, yet not a bushel
of it was permitted to be transported to

route. The new order of affairs, Mr. Gun

Russia Anxious to Get Out of Man-
chnria.
LONDON, Nov. 2. "Diplomatic circles
In St. Petersburg are inclined, to believe
tne Russian assurances that there is
nothing in the Manchurian convention to
which the other powers can reasonably
object," says the correspondent of the
Times at the Russian capital. "No doubts
are entertained as to the sincerity of Rus
sia's desire to withdraw from Manchuria
as quickly as .possible after Insuring the
safety of the railways, her occupation of
the province having involved her in re
sponsibilities and expenses out of all pro
portion to the advantages gained." '
" The Standard publishes the following
irom us anangnai correspondent:
"As a result of the violent opposition
of the Viceroy to the Manchurian conven
tion, it Is said that the Empress Dowager
notified Li Hung Chang of her resolution
to renounce It, and that Li Hung Chang,
on hearing this, became ill."
