(Continued from First Page.) memory had been at fault when he stated that the fltot was closer In at night than during the day. The admiral had alio testified that the set of the current was toward the shore. The log showed that at various times the squadron had steamed In as well as out. Captain Lemly called his attention to tho log on the following day, May 24, and then asked him whether these entries In tho logs did not show that the ships steamed both In and out. "Yes," replied the witness, "but aa the entries do not show the speed, It is Impos sible to tell the distance. We usually steamed as slow as possible ;stmply kept steerage way." Telia What Would Be Dune. "Had Cervera's fleet appeared during the night you were at Clenfuegos, either com ing out or coming in from seaward, what under your Instructions would your fleet have done?" "Knocked them out." (A. stir in the court.) "What were your Instructions?" "Follow tho flag Instructions given : Hampton Roads." "What were your Instructions:" "There were none. I do not consider that the regulations or customs required writ ten Instructions." "Is not It the unwritten law at sea In the Davy that tho vessels in squadron shall follow the flagr "Yes. except under certain circum stances." "What circumstances?" "Well, a vessel might see one of the enemy's ships drop out and follow to attack it That might be tone of tho circum stances." "But tho rule Is to follow the flag?" "It Is." In response to other questions Admiral Schley said there were three or four boats stretched across th.e harbor at Clenfuegos. Captain Lemly called the attention of the wltnees to the fact that in his former testimony ho had said that Lieutenant Wood had reported him as speaking dis respectfully of Admiral Sampson, calling him captain. The admiral replied that he might havo gotten Wood confused with Hood, and, upon referring to the court record, he said It was so that Wood had not so testified. "Why did you, on the day Iowa roaled from the Merrtmac, May 23, Inform Ad miral Sampson that coaling off Clenfuegos waa very uaccrtala?" "Simply on account of the weather." "You coaled one of the battleships?" "Yes." "Did you in the same dispatch Inform Admiral Sampson that one of the battle ships had been coaled on that day?" "I reported that fact to him on May 30." Referring to the blockade of Santiago. Captain Lemly asked the witness why he had sent a dispatch to Admiral Sampson that "on account of short coal supply can not blockade them (the Spaniards) In San tiago." "I meant that if we could nof have coaled oft Santiago w could not have stayed there." "Did you state that condition?" "No, I did not state that condition. That was the Impression in my mind." "What did you mean by the report, 'I shall not be able to remain off that port (Santiago) on account of general short coal supply?' " All More or ! Short'of Coal. "I think all the vessels were more or less short of their complement and considering the fact that they ought to, be fit lor any service and for every service, that In ar riving off the port we ought to be more than half or thrco-quarters full." "How about Drooklyn. It had plenty of coal, did It not?". "I do not think there was ever any ques tion about Drooklyn." "How about Massachusetts?" "Massachusetts and Texas were con constantly solicitous about coal." Captain Lemly asked the admiral to point out tho signals of Massachusetts and Texas showing solicitude about coal and also to include Iowa. In response Admiral Schley said that when Iowa arrived at Clenfuegos It had only about half Its coal supply aboard and almost its first request was for a coal Ing collier. Captain Lemly again went back to the state of the sea. "The log of Brooklyn says that on May 24 the sea was smooth," be observed. "Why then, on that day," he asked, "did you make your report to Admiral Sampson ex pressing apprehension of difficulty in coal ing oft Santiago?" "As I stated before, a sea that would be smrsth far Brooklyn would be rough for dmaller vessels," When He Moved. "At what time did you learn definitely tnai tne spanisn neet waa not in Cienfue gos?" "Upon Captain McCalla'a return, about 4 p. m., May 24." "What time did you sail for Santiago? "My impression Is that we formed column between C and 6 p. m. and stood oft on a course south by east and then stopped, leaving Castlne before the harbor. About 8 o'clock we got under way, laying our course southwest by south." "When you left Clenfuegos where did you think the Spanish squadron waa?" asked Captain Lemly. i'l did not, of course, know exactly where It was. If I had I would have gone straight lor it. According to the Information which camo to roe I supposed that it it was not at Santiago It was somewhere in the neigh borhod, but my Impression wss that It had come out, as this Information the Informer gave had Indicated, but Just where it was. ot course, I could not decide." "Did you give any spoclal Instructions to your captains while making this passage from Clenfuegos to Santtato in regard to IcuMng out for the Spanish fleet?" "I did not give any special Instructions, They had their general Instructions." "Did Southerland not signal to you he- fore leaving Clenfuegos that it had Ave days' coal aboard but that In six hours It could tako on enough to last nine days?" Without waiting for a reply Captain Lem ly read a signal to this effect from Eagle to Drooklyn, but In Brooklyn's log the an awcr was recorded In reply to Brooklyn's question ao to how much coal Eagle bad for steaming at ten knots: "Nina days at ten knots. v Captain Lemly then read the coal report of the fleet for May 26, showing that Eagta on that day reported to Brooklyn that it had twenty-tight tons. Merrlntao Hecoaats Its Accident. In reply to a question witness, said that Merrlmsc had signaled regarding its acct dent on May $ at 1:16 and at that tlmt It was heading toward Santiago. vtrd movement at that time, Captain Lem ly called Admiral Schley's attention to the fact that he (Admiral Schley) had said in his testimony in chief that as soon as the sea had calmed down he had begun to coal, considering himself better able to Judge than any other officer. Captain Lemly then had the witness examine the log on Brook lyn tor the purpose of bringing out the fact that during the day of May 27 the barometer waa rising, the breete dying down and the sea becoming calm. "Notwithstanding these Improved condi tions, did you not steam two or three miles to the westward that day before attempt ing to coal?" After looking at the log the admiral said that, according to that memorandum, he had steamed eighteen miles. Further, the admiral stated that tbey had been obliged to steam three or four knots further than they needed to overtake Yale which had not returned Brooklyn's signal. "In your .testimony you say that you did not disobey orders when you started be cause you returned to your station with out further direction. Am I right?" "Yes." "Upon receipt of the Instructions did you not nevertheless leavo your station?" "Yes, I did, for the reasons'. First, be- causo Captain Slgsbec, A scout placed In front of Santiago harbor, Informed me that he did not believe the Spanish fleet was there. Second, because Nunez, the pilot, told me he did not believe tho enemy's fleet could enter the harbor. Third, In order No. 75 with the accompanying memorandum I was authorised to move as far west aa Cape Cruise, provided coaling had been found possible there." apposed Friend Are Enemlen. In regard to tho landing place, five or six miles west of tho harbor, you said you ascertained, subsequently, that the Span lards were there, not Cubans." "So Nunez stated at first and at the time predicted that If wo had landed In that po sition probably wo would have been gobbled up." "You did not try to land there?" "No, thank Qod, I did not." "You did not follow up that cue and find out at that time whethor insurgents wero there, did you?" "Perhaps It is lucky I did not." "Don't you think perhaps It might havo been lucky If you had?" "No. I do not think so." "You did not know really who was pres. ent thero at that time?" "Personally I did not know, only In the light of what I subsequently heard." "Did you not accept tho order of the de partment aa requiring you to return and remain off Santiago?" After coaling, finding that the sufficiency of the squadron was established nearer on a basis ot equality, nnd aa we were not a great distance from Santiago, I returned In view at the suggestion of the department to that port to ascertain definitely whether the enemy wag In port before proceeding to the westward. Upon our return we discov ered the Spanish fleet." Captain Lomly then asked: "If, having brought the flying squadron to the vicinity ot Santiago and having in your possession a dispatch from the Navy department dated Washington, May 25, 1898, which directed Harvard to proceed at once and Inform you and also your senior officer present oft San tiago 'ail deportment's' information Indi cates Spanish division Is still at Santiago,' did you not wlth)thls dispatch In your pos session from tho department signal 'Des tination Key West' without consulting the commanding officers ot the several vessels composing your squadron?" "I did not get that dispatch until May 27, although dated May 25 at Washington. I hoisted the signal for the reason, as I stated a little while ago, that the Informa tion In my possession at that ttmo from Captain Slgsbeo was that the Spanish squadron 'was not there. No Shirking of Responsibility. "Supported by the testimony of Nunez that they could not get In on account of certain difficulties of draught and narrow ness of channel, I considered then that I had to act on my own responsibility. I did not call tno commanding officers on board, for, as .1 stated In my direct testimony, I was always ready to assume the respon sibility for any movement that might in volve cenaure rather than throwing my self back upon anybody else. That waa the motive and reason for this action." Tho admiral said that he had In hla pos session the department's communication of May 25 on May 27, when he had again sig naled indicating that they were going to Key West. He said that ho probably con fided to Captain Cook his purpose in re turning to Key West, but he could not re. call certainly that he had done so. "Where could you have coaled If you had gone to Key West?" asked Captain Lemly. "My purpose was to coal at the first op portunity wbenevsr it waa possible to do so. If I had gone to Key West I should have coaled on the outside Just outside the lighthouse." At this point Admiral Schley complained ot sensitiveness In his throat and the court adjourned, ten mlnutea In advance ot the usual time, until 11 o'clock tomorrow.

Oct. 26.-A special to the Picayune from Balltown says: A race war between whites and blacks, started at a negro campmeetlng at Duncan's chapel Sunday afternoon, has left a carnival ot blood up tho Pearl river valley unequaled In the history of the country. One white man Is dead, another is now dying with a bullet hole through his stom ach and a third white man i badly wound ed. Nine negroes wero killed in the bloody affray flvo men, three women and one small child.

No one la able to estimate the number ot wounded negroes who escaped the car nage behind the church. They scattered to the four winds. Somo are known to have been shot, but thoy have not been found. I Tho fierce conflict raged for half an hour. Tboso at a distance say the firing sounded like a pitched battlo between troops. To the campmeetlng negroes had come from 200 miles all up and down the valley. Elder Stephen Duncan of Now Orleans, for whom tho chapel was named, was present. On last Thursday the meeting opened with several hundred negroes encamped around the church in tents and in rudely constructed shanties. The sessions were to continue one week. There they ate and slept and held services tn the chapel. Ono day previous to tho opening of the campmeetlng the negro, Bill Morris, hnd been burned at the stake near Balltown. Public feeling waa at a high pitch. Under those conditions the negroes fathered at. Live Oak. There was trouble over a license and Crear Lott's tent became the tenter of contention. Some trouble occurred Saturday evening, but no bloodshed. It came up again Sunday afternoon, when Constable Boon and a posse rode up to Lott's tent with a warrant. Lott came out and Is. reported to have shouted with an oath "One nigger has been burned, but some white man will be next!" " " Neitro Strikes First Dlovr. Wade Walker, one ot the constablo'a posse, was struck on the bead with a rifle and then tho alaughter began. The blacks fled from the frail wooden church, for it was no shelter from the rain ot bullets. Joe Seal received his death wound. A tor rent of lead was sent whlrzlng through tho tent and through the church as the negroes fled. Preacher Connolly was fehot while standing In his yard. His daughtei fell Just inside the house. It was death and blood and the shrieks ot the wounded and dying were heard on every side. Lott's old mother-in-law, his two daugh ters and the little boy fell In a heap In sldo the shelter. Sophie Lott saved her llto by concealing .herself beside the'stbvo. Then she escaped and the men did not barm her. They were after Crear Lott. He was barricaded and the place waa fired. The fire forced him from cover and he appeared In the doorway and twenty rifle balls went crashing through him. He fell in a heap, head foremost on tho ground. Parkttr and Beverly, both blacks, fell with blm. Washington Parish has never aeen such a slaughter. Joseph Seal and Charles El liott and Edward Thompson, the wounded whites, were carried away to the home ot F. P. Sones, about three-quarters .of a mile through the pine woodB, which was hastily converted Into a hospital. There Seal died yesterday. Ho was buried today from his home in Varando, six miles away, anl there in tho Sonea emergency hospital Elliott now lies dying. General Uprlalna; Threatened. For twenty-four hours it looked like a general uprising to wipe out the black race In Washington Parish. The news spread like wildfire and yesterday over 1,000 armed men had reached the scene of battlo. They came tor miles and miles, some as far away as Montlcollo. Sheriff Norman H. Slmmona and J. K. Johnson, clerk ot the court ot the Parish, arrived from Franklin yesterday morning and the feeling subsided. Oovernor Longlno of Mississippi and Gov ernor Heard ot Louisiana were notified and replies came that troops would be hurried to the scene. Yesterday afternoon the nlno negroes who were left in a heap where they had died wero piled Into three unmarked graves, dug near the charred remains ot Lott's tent house. There was no ceremony. The rain lster and his daughter filled one ot the holes,- the woman and child another and the men a third. At tho same time prom Inent citizens held a conference, which was attended by Sheriff Simmons, and a men sage waa sent to tho negroes. "Do you want any more?" was tho query. "No," came the reply. This had a quieting effect and peace again -reigned, The negroes left the country. They car ried all the personal effects possible. All who could rode on horseback. IMPORTANT SClUNTiriC DIHCOVKR V.
