(Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Sept. 28. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Lord
Kitchener la urgently pressing the British
war olllce to send him reinforcements ot
mounted men, but tho war olllce cannot
provldo thorn.
Tho opportunity of re-cnllstmcnt ex
tended to tho discharged yeomanry has been
hccop'ed by less than twenty, tho dis
charged mon being disheartened by tholr
former hnrdshlps nnd disaffected by tho
selfishness and Incompetency of their offi
cers, In regard to which complaints aro
universal.
It Is believed hero that Kitchener Is
forcing a quarrel on tho Wnr department,
so as to bo relieved from bin Intolerable,
not to say Impossible, position, nnd take
up tho Indian command, which Is being
kept open for him.
Tho radical papers severely condemn his
demand for moro drastic measures and
urge tho ministers Instead to do somothlng
to check tho tcrrlblo mortality among tho
Boer women nnd children In tho -reconcen-tratlon
camps.
Porhaps one reason why tho British fre
quently whllo tn pursuit fall to overtake
the Boers In South Africa Is botrayed In
this remarkable army order, recently ts
sued by Lord Kitchener: "The com-mnnder-ln-chlef
In South Africa desires to
impress officers In command of the mobile
columns that tho project of such columns
Is mobility and that he has learned thut
such forces carry with them furniture,
kitchen ranges, pianos nnd harmoniums,
which nullify that object. These articles
roust be handed over to tho nearest stores,"

Captain McCalla was then excused.

Lieutenant Commander W. 11. H. Suther
land, who commanded the converted yacht
Eagle during tho Spanish war, followed
Captain McCalla on tho wltnens stand. Hn
said that ho had first fallen In with tho
flying squadron on Mny 19, when the squad
ron wnB steaming toward Clenfuegos and
captain McCnllas sub-squadron wns on
Its way from Clenfttgog to Key West. He
had then, under Cntitaln McCnlln's orders
undertaken to communicate to Commodore
Schley his Information concerning the
situation at Clenfuegos nnd had given this
information to Scorpion for the commo
dore, his message being ns follows:
"Wo left Clenfuegos on the night of the
16th, nt which time; ns wo learned from
Insurgents, the only vessels Instdo the
harbor were two gunboats and several can
nonleros."
Commnnder Sutherland nlso told of his
return to Clenfuegos on May 24, and of ac
companying Marblohend to shore for the
purpose of communicating with the Insur
gents. Ho also related that In returning
Captain McCalla sent him at full speed In
ndvnnco of Mnrblehead to notify tho com
mnnder of the squadron that Cervera's fleet
wns not Inildc the harbor nt that point
nnd had not been there. He had. he snld.
delivered this Information about 3 o'clock.
At this point the court took recess for

Admiral Schley as to the portion of the

Tho Judgo ndvocnto then brought In Lieu

Navy department, for the purpose of ex
plaining tho discrepancies between tho dis
patch of Admiral Schley saying he could
not, much to his regret, obey tho orders
of tho department, ns It was prepared by
tho admiral nnd ns printed by tho depart
ment. Mr. Rayncr objected to tho calling of
the witness whllo Commnndor Sutherland's
testimony was incomplete. Ho also said
that ho did not consider the variations In
tho dispatch as Important. Captain Lem
ley nnd Mr. Hnnna contended that the mat
tor wns of gravo Importnnco and that thero

Tho court decided that on account of tho

Describing the crulso from Clonfucgos to
Santiago, Commander Suiherlaud spld that
from midnight of .May 24 to the afternoon
of tho 25th Eaglo had met bnd weather.
This was duo to tho fact that tho sen had
a "long roll," which wns very trying, as
tho vessel was then ono-thlrd full of wntor.
"A little after 1 o'clock of the 26th, when
nbout twenty-flvo miles from Santiago," he
said, "I was called alongsldo tho flagship
nnd tho commodoro directed me to go to
Port Anvonto for coal nnd to report rough
wenther south of Cuba. My nnswer sub
stantially was that I already had threo
days' coal, as much as Marblohend, mean
ing ns much In nronnrtlnn. Thn xnmmn.

nis purposo and directed me to carry out
his orders. I then asked htm
earnestly to let Eagle remain with tho fleet
ana coai irom tho collier. Ho very cour
teously replied to mo that he either very
much regretted or olse was very sorry he
could not let mo do so, Eagle had not coal
enough for his purposo nnd again directed
mo tO proceed. Which I rllrl nftef
munlcatlng with tho division commander.
-now mucn coal did Eagle havo?"
"No loss than twonty-sovon tons."
"Ot course Merrimao was with tho
squadron, was It not?"
"It was."
"State the wind nnd whether practicable
for the Eaglo to go alongsldo Morrlraac to
tnko coal."
"Without any doubt."
"Why did not you do this?"
"It was not In my power, as I hnd no
authority."
"Did you suggest to the commnnder of
tho flying squadron you could do this?"
"I did not. I rcntlCStnrl htm nni-naaMu
to let mo stny nnd coal from tho collier."
"Was anything else said between you
and tho commodoro nt this tlmo?"
"No. I was so dlsanDoInted I rlM not

Ilarnea Under Croaa Fire,
Lieutenant Barnes, recalled, was then
shown nnd Identified the cipher code bdok
of tho auxiliary drulsor Harvard, which
vessel carried Admiral Schley's dispatch to
Kingston, to bo there transmitted by cable
to Washington.
Lleuternnt Barnes said ho was familiar
with tho 'department cipher codo nnd that
last night and this morning ho had mndo n
translation of tho dispatch as presented.
Hn then read bis translation and wns ques
tioned concerning It by Mr. Hnnna, who
asked:
"Havo you examined the duplicate of tho
cipher received nt the department nnd
compared It with tho cipher ns It appears
In that press copybook?"
"I have."
"Was this cipher message an received
by tho department confirmed by tho tele
graph company?"
"Itvas."
"I will ask ou whether In cipher those
words as they appear In that press copy
book are Identically the same In cipher ns
those received by tho department, or Is
there any variation whatever In word or
letter."
"They are Identically the same In word.
Threo words, ns I recollect It, havo letters
which nro Indistinct In ono placo or the
other and might he mistaken, although
there Is no chanco of mistaking the word."
Ilecelve! na Sent,
"Thon I will ask you whether, according
to thnt press copybook, that dlipatch left
Kingston as It was received at the depart
ment In cipher?"
"It did, If this was tho dispatch that
was sent of which this a copy."
"Now with respect to certain minor varia
tions to words hero In tbo translation you
have given and which appear, I will ask
ycu first have you compared the transla
tion which you have mads from ciplnr
with this dispatch In tho appendix?"
"I havo not."
"Why did you not do so?"
"I was asked by tho Judgo advocate not
to consult any other books whatever than
the secret code, and the book from which
I took the cipher."
"You arc familiar with tho cipher code
and handle It frequently?"
"I am, sir."
"Is It a part of your duty to do so?"
"It Is."

ot tho Schley dispatch, pointed out tho
discrepancies between that print nnd tho
translation mnde by Lieutenant Barnes
from tho Harvard cipher book, which
showed that the principal differences were
as follows: The substitution of the word
"heavy" for tho word "helpless" In tho
nppendlx translation and omission ot tho
word "leaving" In tho new translation, ie
fcrrlng to tho depnrturc from Key West.
Tho comparison nlao showed changes such
ns tho omission of tho word "the" nnd the
witness explained that often tn translating
cipher mossnges the name of n country Is
generally added nftcr thnt of n town or
particular locality, In order to mnko the
Information full nnd specific, lie nlso gave
this ns tho explanation of the addition of
the word "leaving" snylng thnt It was done
to bring out the sense of the messages.
With reference to tho word "heavy" for
'"helpless" tho witness snld: "Heavy and
hplpless" nro very close to ench other In
tho cipher codo. A chnngo of n single num
ber nt tho end which would Indlcnto the
chnngo of a letter In a word, or a mistaken
letter In n word would produce thnt sort of
n change."
Mr. Hnnna reminded tho witness that at
the end of tho message ns printed In the
nppendlx was the following sentence: "Very
dlnicult to tow' collier to get cable to hold,"
which sentence did not appear In the copy
of tho dispatch ns preservol by Admiral
Scjhley in his press copybook. Ho then
nsked whether these words could by nny
translation or any legitimate use of tho
cipher have been ndded. or whether they
could bo due to n cipher error or had they
been simply ndded.
C'niilil llnvp llren Added.
"They could havo been simply added in
cipher," replied tho witness.
Mr. Hnyncr I do not think thero Is nnv
disagreement between us. Thero was a dis
patch sent by Commodoro Schley delivered
to unptain Cotton on Hnrvard. That dls
patch wni translntcd Into cipher nn board
Harvard, between Santiago nnd Klnejton
Thnt cipher translation came hero to Wnsh
lngton, and you mado n translation, which
I have no doubt Is perfectly correct. The
translation seems to accord In most par
ticulars witn the exception of trivial thine
with tho translation In which you have tho
nppendlx.
Mr. Rayner then cross-examined tho wit
ness, first asking him whether ho had nnv
knowledge that the cipher dispatch In qucs-
iion is n correct translation of tho dlsnateh
that Commodore Schley gnvo to Captain Cot-
ion.
"I havo special knowledge thnt It was'
the witness replied.
"Now, In Admiral Schley's letter book I
want to show you an entry. Thn wnni
"confirm" occurs. Docs that not mmn thn.
mo .avy department hns confirmed that dis
patch by comparing with tho original?"
"It does not mean that to mc."
"What does It mean?"
"I do not know who put that there."
Itnyner'a Interpol In t Inn,
Mr. Rnyner I am qulto suro wo do 'not
Know wno put It thero.
The Witness That was there when I
first looked nt the book; so wns also tho
word "cancelled" In somo of the other dis
patches. "Who has the original dispatch, thn
original English dispatch of which this Is n
press copy? Cnn you tell mo thnt?"
"I do not know. I suppose thnt tho enp
tain of Hnrvard Iiob It among his papers.
It cannot be found nmong tho papers ho
has turned In nt tho Navy department."
Mr. Rayner .Then wo havo hero this
case, We havo a dispatch sent by Admiral
Schley, delivered to Captain Cotton, trans
lated Into cipher ami you' do not know
whother that cipher Ib n correct transla
tion of tho original. And you cannot tell
whero wo cnn get that original dispatch,
so thnt wo can nscertaln whether this press
copy docs not correspond with the orlglnnl
dispatch delivered to Cnptnln Cotton?
"I cannot."
Mr. Rnyner nnd Cnptnln Parker closed In
stating there wns no Intention on tholr
part to cast any Imputation on tho depart
ment. Tho witness was excused at 3:30
P. m. Tho court adjourned until Monday
morning.
