Mr. Graham also stated that Admiral
Schley had told him that the object of tho
bombardment of May 31 was to develop the
Spanish land batteries and he said that the
range was fixed at 7,000 or 7.G00 yafds, In
order to draw their fire. Ho further said

Santiago engagement. Thcro was. somo dls
russlon over the admissibility of this Htale
I'ment, but the court decided that any con

plcturo of tho battle of July 3, and Lieuten
ant Kdward Fitzgerald, who was on duty
In tho flro room on July 3, and testified
that an order had beeri given early In tho
action to Btand by for a ram.
Afternoon I'roreeillnirs.
When tho eou.'t began Its afternoon ses
sion Mr. Itayner announced that ho had no
questions to ask Mr. Oraham and Captain
Lemly said- that ho had no questions to
ask.
Mr. Graham was then excused and Den
tils J. Cronln called. Ho was orderly to
Commodore Schley during the Santiago
campaign and he testified that ho was
present when Captain Slgsbeo camo aboard
Brooklyn May 2(1. "I heard the commodore
ask Captain Slgsbeo something I could not
aindorstand," said the witness, "and I
heard tho captain answer: "The Spanish
fleet Is not In there.' "
"Did you seo Commodoro Schley at any
tlmo during tho battlo?"
"Yes, Blr, I saw him when ho wan Btand
Jng down near the conning tower and
then again on tho forward bridge."
"What was his manner?"
"His manner was such as Inspired the
men under him with courage."
Mr. Cronln was excused and Lieutenant
Commander William K. Ilush called. Tho
witness said he had a vivid Impression
of tho Spanish Vlscaya turning toward
Brooklyn and he was under tho Impres
slon that this had occurred beforo Brooklyn
made Us turn. He had himself considered
It necessary to mako a turn.
Lieutenant Commander Rush was sue
coeded on the stand hy Lieutenant Kdward
Simpson, who wns nlso a watch officer on
Brooklyn. Lieutenant Simpson told ot tho
beginning of tho crulso from Key West,
May 19, and said that Commodoro Schley
had given a general order beforo starting
on tho campaign that all lights should bo
concealed at night.
Hclilcy Alwnys Cool.
"At tho tlmo Colon's flag camo down I
heard tho commodore's voice, asking:
'What tlmo Is It?' und I heard tho chief
quartermaster sny: 'One fifteen, six.' "
In reply to n question Lieutenant Simp
son said ho had oeen Commodoro Schley
ovcral times during ttho engagement of
July 3, but ho romcmbcred him especially
Ah -ho Htsooil when Vlscaya went ashore.
"He was," said tho witness, "leaning
r.galnst the turret In the most natural posi
tion, holding his glass In his arms."
't,What wan his deportment and bearing?"
"it was that of a bravo man, sclf-pos
icssod, alert to his duties and oncouraglng
to .omcers and men to do their duty."
When Lieutenant Simpson was excused
Lteutonant Kdward P. Fitzgerald, who was
an assistant engineer on Brooklyn during
the, battlo off Santiago, was called to tho
stand. Ho said that ho was In the fire
room when tho battlo occurred and there
were jevcral orders. Ono of theso, given
nt the beginning of tho engagement, was
to "stand for a ram or collision quarters
Tho witness was not questioned on other
points nor cross-examined. When ho. left
tho stand the court adjourned tor the
day.
Moniliiw l'roeredliiiin,
Lieutenant Wells resumed the witness
stand soon after' the Schley court of In
qulry was called to ordor, at 11 o'clock
today, and continued his narrative ot the
events of the Cuban campaign of 1S98,
Lieutenant Wells was also questioned
concerning the department orders concern
ing the risking ot the American ships to
bombardment from tho sboro batteries, be
Ing (bono of April 6, April 26 and two of
May 5. The first of tho orders ot this char
acter stated that "The department does not
wish tho vessels of your squadron to bo ex
posed to tho ftre of the batteries at Ha
vana, Santiago or other strongly fortified
ports In Cuba," and the others were re
garded as modifications of these. In the
last of theso, dated May 0, tho department
tald: "Tho department la" perfectly willing
thut you ihould exposo your shlpa to the
heaviest guns of land batteries If, In your
opinion, there aro Spanish vessels ot sum
clent military Importanco protected by
them, and, If advlsablo, your chief aim for
tho present being the destruction of the en
cniy's principal vessels.
After having read tho different dispatches
tho witness was asked by Captain Lemly;
"Can you scparato your knowledge with
regard to tho conversation with Commo
dore Schloy so as to distinguish between
either of the othor two orders, or both of
these orders, and as to whether or not any
thing was said with regard to tho receipt
of Information lu relation to these letters
here which you have, before you, at tho
interview of May 18 In Key West?"
"No, air, 1 do not distinguish 'between
any of tbem. I have given my general re
mombrance, which Is that the order was
not to risk the ships."
Lieutenant Wells was excused and Albert
V. Mason called.
The witness said that as the log giving
an account of Ilrooklyn's turn bad been at
first prepared It read:
We muffler il utth nort battery nt llrst. hut
Just as soon as the enemy stood to west
ward we pui our iieim niaruimru ni inn.,

imnr.i hnftari- in lienr nnd awlticlne clear
of Texas tire, we stoou purnnci ivnn nnu
to the enemy.
This entry had, ho said, been changed
later at the Instance of Lieutenant Hodgson
so as to ra'ako It read as It does In the pres
ent copy, as follows: "As soon as the en
emy stood to the westward we put our helm
aport, swinging clear of Texas' fire, etc."

- u.., i,n was nucstloned by Mr. Hayner

the carapaKni nc ,vag then questioned re-
BQrdri8 the conversation Between comrao-
. 8ch,ey aml captain Slgsbeo on the oc-
cn9on 0f the captain's visit to Brooklyn on
..... . .ti ..
Did you tee Captain SIgsbce on Brooklyn
on May 2?"
"Yes, sir."
"After ho had, reached the quarter deck
from the gangway he stopped and Commo
dore Schley' said lo him, 'Have we got 'cm,
Slgsbeo?1 Tho captain said 'No, they aro
not there. I have been hero for a week and
tbey aro not here?"
"Is that the whole ot roe conversation as
you recollect?"
"No sir. We went aft, further back on
the quarter deck, and he continued tho con
versation. The commodore said, 'Aro you
sure they are not In there?' He said: 'I
havo been very close to the harbor cntrancs
two oi' three times. Captain Cotton has
been here and cut a cable and they are not
there."
"You heard Slgsbee say that?"
"Yes, sir. I took some part In the con
versation."
"Now, tell me regarding the conversation
between Commodoro Schley and Captain
Illgglnson?"
Thoro was some discussion about what
the Spanish fleet had brought with them.
A report was current that they had brought
arms and ammunition for the defense ot
Havana and tliero also wns a discussion as
to whether they had had time to mount
them or whether from any ships In tho
harbor prior to the arrival ot the fleet
they Lad taken any largo guns nnd mounted
them. Commodoro Schloy said his Idea
whh to go In about 7,000 or 7,500 yards and
fire, simply to draw their fire. So far as I
remember, Captain Hlgglnson acquiesced
In tho latter.'
Describing tho battlo of July 3, Mr. Gra
ham said that Commodoro Schley had got
ten to a position In front of tho eonnlntr
tower as soon as the nose of the first ot
the Spanish ships appeared. Brooklyn was
at that time, he said, pointing almost north.
Lieutenant Simpson had fired the first gun
from tho eight-Inch turrets, and, calling to
Commodoro Schley, said: "How Is that?"
To this the commodoro replied, said the
witness, "Didn't seo It, Simpson: but keep
at It." Continuing, the witness said that
hy tho time Brooklyn had completed Its
turn (and he thought the turn had been
continuously to the right) tho throo lead'
ing Spanish ships had emerged from the bar
bor. The witness thought they had como out
in fan-shape order.
Constantly Cli-erln Ills Men.
"Tho commodore," he said, "at thla point
stood all tho time on the side of tho ftre, bo
that he could see what was doing. Ho was
absolutely cool and sent continuous mca
sages to tho men to cheer them up. When
Kills' head was shot off ho wiped somo or
tho blood from his own person as tho men
picked tho body up to throw it overboard,
whllo tho rest ot us stood horrified, ho
calmly said: 'Don't throw that body over.
Tako It below and we'll glvo It a Christian
burial.' Whin Vlscaya went ashore the com
modoro went Into the conning tower and
himself called down tho tube to tho men
bolow: 'Thoy aro all gone but one; It alt
depends on you, boys,'
Did you ever see Commodoro Schloy
whon he appeared to bo laboring under
any mental excitement?"
"Oh, no, ho was Jovial and good-natifred
at all times, and I did not observe the
least traco ot excitement or anxiety except
at ono time. That was whon It looked ns
If Colon might get away. He expressed fear
that that might occur and seemed much
concerned. I remember that ho discussed
with Cook tho advisability of stopping to
eouplo his engine beforo dark, fearing that
If postponed until later the Spaniard might
get away."
At this point Mr. Itayner began an exam
ination of th) witness concerning a convor
satlon reported to have taken place be
tween Commodoie Schley and Captain
Evans of Iowa after tho battle, but beforo
the examination had gono far It was ob
Jecled to by Captain Lemly.
"Wore you," asked Mr. nayner, "present
at any conversation between Captain Kvans
and Commodore Schley?"
"Yes, sir, In the commodore's cnbln on
Brooklyn July 6," Mr. Graham responded
"When Kvans came In the first thing ho
said was, 'Schley, did you seo Jack Philip
run away with Texas?' and Commodore
Schley said, 'No, neither did you."
Admiral Dewoy, addressing counsel: "Ono
moment, Philip Is not present, you know."
Mr. Itayner That has gono In Captain
Kvans' testimony.
Captain Lemly In cross-examination
something In regard to It has gone In. X
cannot see what bearing it has.
Mr. Itayner We do not want to prove
anything about what Captain Philips said.
This Is a conversation In which Commodore
Schley was present
Captain Lemly You propose to contradict
what you drew out' In cross-examination?
Mr. Hayner Why, of course
I.cmly Itnlsrs Objection,
Captain Lemly I object, If the court
please. This has nothing whatever to do
with the case. Captain Philip is dead and
Admiral Kvans Is out of tho country. I
object on that ground, which I think quite
sufficient.
Admiral Dewey then answered that the
court would retire for the consideration of
tho point raised. After being out for
twenty minutes the members returned and
Admiral Dewey announced In the following
form:
"The court decides that tho question In
tended to Impugn the credibility ot a wit
ness; Intended to prove any point regard
ing tho movemonts ot Brooklyn during the
battle of July 3; Intended to prove any
statements made by Commodore Schley or
conversations held with Commodore Schley
which havu a material bearing upon the
matter's designated by tho precept, aro ad
mlsslblo, provided such conversations or
statements occurred In tho presence of and
within tho hearing of the witness."
Mr. Hayner then repeated Ms question
asking hlin to repeat the conversation
which Mr. Graham did, as follows:
"Captain Kvans came Into tho cabin. I
sat at a round tablo In the center. Com
modoro Schley got up and shook hands with
Captain Kvans and the latter said: 'Schley,
did you see Philip turn around and run out
of tho flght7' The commodore said: 'No,
neither did you. He did not run out nt tho
fight.' Captain Kvans said: 'Ob, yes', he
did, 1 saw him.' Captain Kvans said he
was tn the uext ship and saw him. The
Commodoro said: 'It was not Texas at all.
Texas was tn tho fight all tho time. The
ship you saw turn around was Brooklyn.' "
UPTON'S NEXT CHALLENGE

FIFE RELUCTANT TO TRY NEXT YEAR
In WlllltiKi Item ever, to Construct n

OLASOOW, Oct. 22. Sir Thomas Llpton,
while desiring to avoid monopolizing the
British side of the America's cup contest,
has already taken a step toward a third
contest for the trophy.
Captain Hobert Wrlnge. who returned
utru uuu i or uu iuo aucour nun
City of Homo yesterday, went to Falrlcy
anu naa a long conterenco witn w. rue
Mr., ns to whether h would undertake de-
signing namrocK u tor a scries 01 races in
1902. It Is understood that Mr. Fife was
opposed to rushing out a challenger for 1002.
Ho considered the time too short to do hta
best work, but was willing to design a chal
lenger to race In the autumn ot 1903. No
absolute arrangement can bo made until Sir
Thomas Llpton arrives, but there Is tittle
doubt that a challenge will be sent.
Acting on Mr. Fife's suggestion, Captain
Wrlngo went to Oarcloch to provide for tho
better preservation of Shamrock 1, which
wilt be used In trials on this side of the
water, Shamrock II to be employed in trials
on the American side.

LONDON, Oct. 22. (New York World Ca

correspondent telcptrapbs thut prominent
Clyde yachtsmen view favorably Upton's
challenge. They think tho second Shamrock

a new yacht will bo designed by Fife, with
Watson as consultant, and command given
to Wrlnge, After recent experiences no
amateur yachtsmen will bo allowed to Inter

probably bo Denny,
CONTROL THEJR0WN GAMES
High School Students Deny thnt I'rn.
frsslonnl Man la tn nun
Their Athletic.
II. M. Bei.edlct, athletic director of the
Omaha High school, referring to tho com
munication by Charles 8. Klgutter In Tues
day'a Bee, says there Is no danger of "com
mercializing or professionalizing" tho
High schoot'a foot ball games.
The students of the High school con
trol their own athletics," said he. "The
games with other teams are arranged by
student managers and the contracts arc
suhmlttcd to a faculty board ot control,
which either ratifies or annuls the action
ot the managers. All games conform to
this arrangement. Tho game with Dcs
Moines was arranged by Lawrence Griffith,
manager and left tackle of the foot ball
team, last August. No outsider has any
thing to do with It.
"Tho game next Saturday will be played
at Vinton park, but the proprietor of the
park does nothing but advertise tho game
and supply the park at tho samo rates and
under tho same conditions as tho Young
Men's Christian association management.
Mr. Bourko gets 20 per cent for tho
grounds and advertising."

OKORGKTOWN, Ky., Oct. 22. The attor
neys for the defense In the trial ot Caleb

P. M. O'Reilly, an Insurance man of Louis
vllle, who was in the senate chamber when
Goebel was shot, said It was his Impression
that the shots wore fired directly In front
of the state house and not from the cxecu
tlvo building.
Former State Treasurer George W. Long
testified that on the morning of January
30, the day Goebel was shot, he was In
structed by W. S. Taylor to go to Louisville
with Calob' Powers and Walter H. Day and
make arrangements to bring men to Frank
fort from western Kentucky, The witness
said that when Powers heard that Goebel
had been shot he said all chances for tb
republicans to win the contest had been
ruined.
Kd Meutz of Glasgow Junction and
Frank Taylor of Glasgow testified that on
January 30 they received telegrams from
G. W. Long calling thorn to Loulsvlllo and
when they reached Louisville Mr. Long told
tbem he had wanted them to bring somo
men to Frankfort from western Kentucky
but that the shooting of Goebel had upso
all plana and that the man would not bo
brought.
Former State Treasurer Walter R. Day
testified that he and Powers went to Louis
vllle on January 30 to make arrangement
to bring men from western Kentucky to
petition tho legislature. When Caleb Pow
ers beard that Ooebel bad been shot Mr,
Day testified that he said: It's an outrage
and It would ruin our chances to gain our
offices.
On cross-examination Mr. Day said he was
sent to Ilarboursvlllc or. January 30 to tell
oners that the republican leaders had
decided that It would be. hurtful to their
cause to bring the men to Frankfort and to
tell him not to allow them to come with
rms. Powers said It was too late, for the
crowd had already been organized. Mr,
Day told of a conversation he had with It.
K. Youtscy, In which Youtsey told him he
could settle the contest for the governor-
hlp for 300. Day asked him how It could
be done. Youtsey would not say, but said
o could settle It all right. Day said ho
did not care to talk with him as he "was
ot that kind of a man." Youtsey said:
You aro the treasurer and 1 thought you
ould be the man to come to."

Nut lire's Own.
YeitTday was a day when the squirrels
nd woodpeckers, Jaybirds and other dcnl-
zons of the woods and parks around Omaha
had to llo low for fair. Their sacred groves
were Invaded by a merry shouting throng
of boys and girls from the ptibllc schools
ho had been seht out under the tacort ol
their teachers to "observe trees." Just
whothor It Is biology or nature study Is not
made clear, but tho pupils In the fifth,
sixth and seventh grades were turned looso
n the timber, each class with a special tree
to "observe." What the results of the ob
servation on tho ultimate course of the
oungstera will be Isn't plain, but some ot
the street cars resembled the vale of Val
lambrosa on the trip next after the observ
ers got home. At the dinner table' last
Ight many a fond father was reminded of
tho time when his observation of trees was
confined to water sprouts, carefully cut and
vigorously wielded by n teacher determined
to show him the error of his ways.

Although they were soon pudlng they were
still In every piny with a tire and dash
which umazeil the spectators. "Pa" Cor
