There were two sew wltnessei before the Schley court of Inquiry today. They were Commander Walnwrlght, who commanded Oloucester during the war with Spain, and Lieutenant M. L. Ilrlstol, who, as ensign, was a, watch and division offlcer of Texas durls that aierlod. Lieutenant Bristol had not concluded bta testimony when the court adjourned for the rinv. tin did not see tho Iood made by Urooklyn. the greater part of his testimony turning upon a chart ho had made showing largely according to his memory the posi tions of the various ships of the fleet at different times during the engagement of July 3. There were severs1 plrltcd con troversies between counsel over questions asked the witness by Mr. Itayner concern ing his chart. Commander Walnwrlght's testimony dealt largely with chart making. He was for a time senior member of the board of navigators, which prepared the official chart showing the position of the American ships during the battlo of Santiago, and he gave details of the method of Its preparation. He said he did not consider the positions assigned In that drawing accurate, but that they were given as the result of a compromise of the views of the members of the board. WnlnnrlKtit llnlilx ttir Minn. Lieutenant Hodgson, CapUIn Folger And Captnln Hyson made additions to their previous testimony, but there was a special Interest In Commandor 'Walnwrlght's tes timony because of his prominent identification with the Spanish war and also because of tho fact that he Is now superintendent of the naval acad emy at Annapolis. During tho summer of 1808 Mr. Walnwrlght commanded the con- vcricu yacnt uioucester, wnicn played a conspicuous part In the campaign against the Spaniards. In the battlo of July 3 his vessel occupied a position on the right of the American column,' to tho east of In- dlana, and when the Spanish torpedo boats Pluton and Furor came out of the harbor he attacked them fearlossly and aided In fhafr nal.iiAltnn II.. -I -.

Tho proceedings of the day began by the recall of Captain W. M. Folger for the pur pose of correcting his testimony of yester day. Advantage was taken of his presence to ask hlra further questions concerning tho blockade of Santiago. Among other ques- Hons he was asked by Captain Lemly If he had had any conversation with Commodore Bchloy during the blockade. He replied "Toward tho evening of one of tho days, the 30th, thero was an extended, very se vere rainstorm, so severe that I feared that Cervera had gotten out, ns It was suffl clently long to havo permitted him to do ao. I went on board the flagship the next day, thinking It my duty to toll the com modore what I had seen as to the blockade ns kept by the Japaneso off the port of Wcl Hal-Wet, where similarly an enemy's fleet was within a fortified harbor, I said to the commodore that the adoption of tho tactics of tho Japanese, forming a ulrclo directly In front of the harbor would, In my opinion, bo preferable, as then It would he difficult for anything to get out." Judge Advocate Was thero any reply by . . I Ibe commodore? "I cannot testify exactly ns to his reply. I would prefer not to do so." Judge Advocate (live the substance. "He did not agree with me as to the ne cesslty for that." "Was there anything further said by him?" "Nothing further that I recollect." Captain Folger nlso said that ho had no recollection of a plckot lino on the Inside of the American fleet. At tho request of Captain Parker of coun sel tor Admiral Schley tho witness exam ined the log of New Orleans for May 30 and 31, 1808, for tho purpose of determining ac curately the state of the weather, but he declined to modify his Htatcment of yester day that the weather on those days was bad, Captain Folger wnrf then excused nnd Lieutenant Dyson was railed. He was questioned by Captain Lemly concerning the steaming condition of Brooklyn on July 3, The judge advocate asked: "What does Brooklyn's steam log show to the num ber of engines coupled up and the boilers In use July 3, 1R98, as compared with the total engine and boiler power of the ves el?" hip In Not Itmdr. The reply was: "Brooklyn baa four main engines, two to each shaft, connected to gether by coupling. It has seven boilers, five main and two auxHIarles. On the morning of July 3 both forward engines were uncoupled: there were hanked flros under throe of the main boilers. The other boilers we call 'dead,' no steam In them. I Judge from tho time It took to start fires In these boilers after the Spanish fleet came out of tho harbor the furnaces wero not even primed and two of tho boilers had to be run up to the oiu Btoamlr.fi level. It took from 9:35 to 10 o'clock to start fires." In response to other questions tho wit ness dotalled from the log of Brooklyn all that was done on that vessel to get up peed. Mr. Rayner asked If It was not necessary to stop the ship to couple tho uncouplod engines and the witness replied that the hip could have been kept going with ono englno while the other was coupled. Tho engines were designed, he said, to be kept coupled during war. Dlacunslng the speed of the various vessels of the fleet on July 3, the witness said that Oregon got up a speed about equal to Brooklyn on that day, not withstanding that on Its trial trip Brooklyn made over twenty-ono knots to Oregon's seventeen knots. He called at tentlon to the fact that New York had made sixteen or snvonteeh knots sored on tho day of tho battle. Id response to que Hons, from Captain Parker he said that New York had not had Its engines coupled a DOCTnit'H icxrrsniENUE.

Aflnr T.leittfinanf Dnnn via PICUBfd Lieutenant Commander HodRson wag re- called for the purpose of correcting errors In his testimony as printed In the official record. He took occasion to change some of the lancuaKe of his previous testimony. One of these chances was made In response to why he had designated as "A liar and blackguard" the editor of a newspaper which had originally printed the alleged colloquy between himself and Commodore Schley. He said he desired to alter the reply that he had yesterday given to this Interrogatory. He then said; "I, of course, am very sorry that I ever so far fotgot myself as to write a letter containing such Intemperate language. It was not written exactly for publication, but under great provocation at the time. In that letter I did not accuse this newspaper of lying for printing that statement. In fact It was to absolve It from lying that I gave the paper authority to use my name for the correctness of tbe gist of that statement. "The lying was on the matter of the fact that the commodore displayed such trepl Mon nd cowardice on Brooklyn the day of the battle that he ran from tho Spaniards nnd took Brooklyn to the southward and nway from the fight In order to detract from the credit of the famu of the commo- doro In that battle; that they wished also to detract from tho credit of all the offi cers of Brooklyn on account of the glorious part It took In that day's fight. It was the words .to that extent that I characterized as lying. There was no lying In that col loquy unless a man stuck o the verbal cor rectness of tho words. So I did not char acterize the paper ns a liar for printing that colloquy." WnliMrrlKlit Trlle of flmrt. Lieutenant Commander Hodgson being ex cused. Commander Walnwrlght was called. Captain Lcmly began his examination by drnwlng from the witness the fact that he had been a member and latterly senior member of the board which hod officially acted In making the chart showing the po sitions of the American and Spanish shlp.i at Santiago. The witness said that the po sitions on the chart were established by estimated hearings. Most of tho positions were, he said, fixed by discussions among tho navigators constituting the board, nl though Captain Chtidwlck was beforo tho board. Asked by Mr. Rayncr about the places assigned to Brooklyn and Texas whllo the former vessel was making Its loop, Com- mander Walnwrlght said ho did not con- sldnr them correct. "For myself," ho said, "I was never satis- fled with tho nlaces asslcned.". Ho said further that while tho honrd had . ..... . llnnn Ihn hal II s,n1,l nl II.M limn nm n board, Its action had not satisfied any one member of tho board. "It was tho best wo could do to get all the members to sign tho chart," ho said "Who, In addition to yourself, was not satisfied" asked Mr. Itayner. None Kntlnnetl with Chnrt "I would not like to sny," responded tho witness. "I know that the navigator of Texas was not, for one. I think none wan satisfied except the navigator of Brooklyn, and I don't know that ho was." "But notwithstanding you were nil, In eluding ihe navigator of Brooklyn, dissat isfied, you signed the report?" 'That Is conoct." On re-dlrect examination, Commander Walnwrlght sold that In making tho chart all the members of the board were at lib orty to contribute whatever data they had or make whatever argument thuy might do nire. no aiso sain mat inc cnart was n compromise of opinions. In response to further questions, witness said he did not see Brooklyn on tho dav of the battlo off Santiago. Questions were put by the court and an w"ed as follows: 'III'... I., r. Wero tho positions of the ships as shown on the chart In question obtained from tes timony taken by the board or from a gen eral discussion by the membors of tho board?" . "Almost entirely by general discussion by the members of tho board. Captain Chadwlck and Captain Cook nppeared and discussed tho matter with tho board." "From tho position of Oloucester nt the commencement of tho battle of July 3 could you see both Brooklyn and Texas?" "I do not remember seeing Brooklyn and Texas at tho commencement of the battle.' Seen Nil StKimla on llroiiklyn. "What orders. If any, were- signaled by Brooklyn to tho fleet during the engage ment of July 3?" "I saw none." Mr. Ilnyncr This does not mean that no signals wore displayed, docs It? "No, It does not." By the Court Did any one of the Spanish vessels change Its course to the southward, as If intending to ram one of the fleet? "I saw no sign of It." commander wninwrignt was men ex cused and Lieutenant M. L. Bristol, former watch and division officer on Texas, was called. He had only related the arrival of Texas at Clenfucgos and detailed conditions there when the court took a recess for luncheon. Detail nf the Chase. After luncheon Lieutenant Bristol de tailed tho part Texas played In the battle giving tho details of tho chaso up tho Cuban coast. Describing the close of that pur' suit, ho said: "We continued on with tho chase of Colon, which was then nhoad of VUcaya, In the same relative positions Brooklyn, Oregon and Texan, nnd, after ward at the end of the ehse. New York joined jn It. I forgot to mention that Vixen was outHldo Brooklyn during this time, and along at the time Vlscaya sheered Inside end kept abreast of us until wo over hauled It and went ahead until Colon finally turned In shore and hauled down ItK flag. Texas then Joined the rest of the ships near the prlzo and remained there that night." Mr. Hanna Inquired: From the position you occupied during tho chase, could you or not delermlno which of our vessels was leadlr.c? Tho witness replied: I could. "What did you estlmato sb to their rela live positions?" "That was obtained comparatively. Tho dlstanco to Colon ranged from about three and a half or four miles up to Ave or six mllca ot the end of the chaso. It drew away from us slowly. Brooklyn and Ore gon wero considerably closer to us then Colon. Oregon was closer then Brooklyn so that Brooklyn was lending as regard the distance from us that It was out on on bcw. In response to questions by Mr. Itayner Lieutenant Bristol said that he had mad his chart because of his Interest In th battle, and that ho had prepared it a few days after the battle. In reply to a question from Mr, Hayne tho witness stated that "to the best of mv knowledge and belief tho chart Is right.' Ilnuifril fnr Murder nf I'rofenmir PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8.

HOW MISSION BOARD HELPS Pmidant Capen Ducribei Wark Don for M!m ItWi foliate. GREATEST FAITH IS IN UNCLE SAM Interview with Itoonctelt Inspires Them rrlth ew Hope nnd As- limner Hint All Will Knd Writ. HARTFORD, Conn.. Oct. 8. After de votional exercises at this evening's session of the American Board of Mission, Presi dent 8, B. Capen, LL D., read the offi cial report of the board concerning the captivity and ransom ot Miss Ellen M. Stone. The report was as follows: "There la such unlversAl Interest In the case of Miss Ellen M. Stone, now In the hands of the brigands, that Is seems wise for the officers of the board to mako a brW statement of facts as they exist at the present time. For several weeks the gov ernment officials nt Washington have been at work, using every possible effort to se euro her release. These havo b?en davs of deep anxiety for the officers of the board, Wo have been In frequent communi cation with our representative In Con stantinople. Last Thursday wo received a dlcpatch from Washington, which told us how Increasingly grave the situation had became. On the receipt of this message a meeting of the prudential committee was hastily called to meet the following day at 11 o'clock. The committee came together and discussed tho situation most thoroughly. DIsiiKrn-nlile Altrrnntl ve. "On tho one side was Ihn life of a dearly beloved missionary; on tho other sldo was tho fact that If we yielded to this demand for ransom It wns putting a premium on tho lives of every missionary of tho Ameri can board and not of our board only, but missionaries of every socletv In the world. The question was even broader than the case of missionaries; It practically con cerned the safety of any and every Ameri can citizen. Recognizing the full gravity f tho situation, the committee without n dissenting vote, decided that It had no right to pay a ransom and establish n precedent which would be sure to be dangerous In all tho future. Furthermore, we wero re trained by tho further fact, that wo had no funds that could be employed for this pur pose. Tho government was restrained from paying tho money by constitutional limita tion, and the American board seemed equally restrained from paying a ransom. Mend Drlrxntlon to Hoimc vr It. The sollcltudo of tho committee was uch and Its wish to do everything wan so strong that It sent n delegation consisting of the president and one of Ifs secretaries to Washington to meet President Rooso- elt and the officials of the State depart ment. This conferenco was held last Satur day forenoon. It was Impossible to over stoto tho sympathy of the president nnd the state ofllclals. Yho conference was lengthy, during which time tho government showed what steps It was taking, and what power of diplomacy was being used to effect the release of Miss Stone. Confidential de tails were given, which, of course, would be a breach of trust for us to give to the public, but the friends of tho board and the whole nation can be assured that every thing possible Is being done to further tho recovery of Miss Stone. The heart nnd tho persistence of tho president In this effort wero most significant. They assured us that apparently nt the moment the only practicable method to secure her life was to have the fund promptly at hand to pay the ransom. It was evidently the positive conviction of tho government thut this stop was tho first one to bo taken. Will Attempt llecnvrry. But It ought to be clearly understood that this Is but ono step; that when she Is released there will bo a vigorous attempt not only to secure the return of tho money, but, furthermore, to bring about such con ditions that such an occurrence shall not be pcsslblo In tbo future. No one doubts that our government will not. drop this mattor until the rights of American citi zens iiro established. 'Meanwbllo a movement was established under tho leadership of the family ot Miss Stono to securo by subscription the amount ot ransom demanded for Miss Stone, and appeals had been sent out asking that funds he sent to Kiuner, reaDoay & uo. or lion- ton, who had consented to act as treasurer ot tho fund. Under this new advice ot tho government a meeting of the prudential committee was called on Sabbath morning, which was attended by eight mombcrs and four officers. Tho report of tho gentlemen Kent to Washington was received and after full deliberation It was decided that whllo we could not recede from the action of last Friday the tidings of the government made It most evident that the first thing was to secure Miss Stone's safety, then other steps would follow; therefore we felt, as In dividuals, It was our duty and privilege to help by all means In our power the secur ing of this ransom from the general public. Communications were eent by telegram, so far as possible, to every part ot the coun try, een to the Pacific coast. Appeal l Itcvpnnded To, Money In sums large and small has been received In answer to this appeal to hu manlty. Tho government has showed Its supromo Interest In this matter by already becoming tho custodian ot this fund as handed to It by the firm of Kidder, PeaboJy & Co. This plan not only shows tho gov ernment's Interest, but It guards against any poHelblllty that any part of the money will bo paid over until Miss Stono person ally has been placed In safety In the hands of the proper authorities. "It will bo seen from the above Btator mcnt that the board has been a unit In Its wholo fiction from tho beginning, and con ststent throughout. Its officers ond friends are willing to use every effort to procure this fund under tho conditions and llmltn tlons given. Any ono who had been pros cnt at the conference In Washington would not hesitate to have full confidence In ths government's efforts. Tho officials of the board, having been received Into Its con fldencc, are willing to trust the govern ment, and wo hnve no doubt that the friends of the board will have confidence In ue." Deaths In the nankn, Tho report of the prudential committee home department, was rend by the secro tary, Rev. C. II. Daniels of Boston, It stated that during the last year soven members of tho board havo died, that twenty-threo new missionaries havo been uent to the foreign field, seven men, two of whom are physicians, six wives of rats slonarles and ten single women, nnd that sixty-two missionaries havo returned from furloughs In this country to tho missions. Two business men In Now York have pledged $G,600 toward a new mission In the Philippines. Another person has pledged enough for a school building If the hoard should decide to establish a mlislon there The total receipts ot the middle states district are 1202,091, a shrinkage of 13,879, The raising of about f 000,000 for Christian education within the hounds of the rolddlo states district, chiefly In Connecticut and New York, and large sums for other worthy objects Is said to explain tho shrinkage, The regular donations from Individual churches and various societies were (509 197, a less from last year of $7,338. The contributions to the distinctly work of th American board have Increased over the previous year I8.7S0. There has been a large fluctuation In the receipts from lega cies, which were less than the previous year by 130,256. The Income from the per manent funds shows an Increase of (1,109 over last year. Delay In the receipt of n large legacy prevented a reduction of tho debt by $20,000. The money will ho In hand shortly.

SYCAMORE AND CREW GO HOME SOON Will First Dliiiinntle Ihe SUj scraper and .Make All Sihir for Winter Sir Thnrnn Comes West Monday. NEW YORK, Oct. S. It Is settled that Shamrock II Is to stay In American waters this winter And next summer It will prob obly be seen In races on Long Island sound and elsewhere. Sir Thomas Llpton said today that tho yacht will be laid up at Krle flaain and not at New London, ns In tended. The tall steel mast will bo taken out nnd all He outer spars taken on shore and stored for the winter. Dy rcaron ot the great height of the mast the yacht will cither have to sail around Long Island In the spring to get Into tho sound or fit out t City Island, for the spar Is far too long to go under Urooklyn bridge at anv stage of tho tide. A member of the Nev York Yacht club. who Is prominent In racing, said tonight: If Shamrock should meet Columbia and Constitution In that smooth water on the sound next summer I feel sure It would win number of rnces and that would glvo achtlng In this country a big boom." I tiers Is thought to he no doubt but that the Ijirchmont, Scdwanhaka and other Sound clubs would glvo prlies for tho ninety-foot yachts and Invite Shomrock to ompcte for them. Sir Thomas and his friends tiellee there Is n (rood deal morn peed in Shamrock than has been shown and they are willing to try It against any ninety-rooter afloat. Sir Thomas suffered considerably from his leg today nnd kept very quiet on hoard Krln. On Thursday ho will clvo a dlunee to Captain Sycamore ond the crew of Shamrock nnd on Saturday ho will bo en- ertalncd by tho LoIim club. On Sunday night or early Monday morning he will covo for Chicago, there to be entertained by the Chicago Athletic club for several days. He will sail for the other side soon aftor returning from Chicago. Cnptaln Sycamore and the crew of Shamrock arc to return to their homes by one of the ocean liners next weok, after Shamrock has boon stripped.

It is customary to speak of Catarrh es nothing more serious than a bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose nnd throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it very soon becomes so. The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system.
