WASHINOTON, Oct. 8. 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.

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

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

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.'

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.

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.

CATARRH
Catarrh lias become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 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.
Salves, washes and 6prays nre unsatis

not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.

and eliminates from the system nil catar

and permanently the worst cases.
