WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. Tho lorn or
deal to which Admiral Schley has been
subjected since Monday morning ended this
Afternoon, when his cross-exumlnntlon was
concluded nnd he was allowed to leave tlie
witness stand. When tho Judge advocate
finished the cross-examination, shortly
lifter 3 o'clock, the court propounded to
tho admiral thirty-four questions prepared
by the members of tho court. These ques
tions towelled mnny points of the cam
PrIrii of the flying squadron, but mainly
centered nhout tbn dlfllcultle encountered
in coaling nnd tho reasons for tho retro
grndo movement. Not ono of them rc
luted to tho battle of Santlngo.
The Judge advocate's examination this
afternoon covered tho rctrogrado move
ment, the reconnaissance of May 27, the
loop of Drooklyn nnd tho alleged, colloquy
with Lloutenant Hodgson nbnut Texas.
One of tho most Interesting features of
the day was tho development of the fact
that the report of tho battle written by Ad
miral Schley July 6, 189S, was not the
original report. The orlglnnl report never
bn been published and, In nccordanco with
a previous decision, tho court today de
clined to permit It to go Into tho record.
Admiral Schley wan nllowed to explain,
however, that Admiral Sampson declined to
receive the first report because It did not
mention tho presenco of Now York,
filnry KiioukIi for All.
"I felt thnt tho victory nt that time,"
ad Admiral Schley In explaining tho mat
ter, "wnf. big enough for all and 1 mate
this change out of generosity and because
I know If Now York had been present It
would liavo dono as good work as any
body clto."
Captnln Thomas Dorden of the marine
corn, who was aboard Diooklyn, will be
the last wltnees called for Admiral
Schley. After he testifies tomorrow the
Judgo advocate will put on tho stand the
witnesses In rebuttal, of whom there nro
understood to be about fifteen, and It Is
possible that Admiral Schley's counsel will
call1 B0vera1,w)ltnegVes''Itisur-rebuttat. "
The flrit question Captain Lcmly asked
Vaa whether Iowa was with tho flying
squadron at Hampton Roads when he gave
the captains of the ships the verbal orders
as to attacking tho enemy's fleet. Ad
miral Schley replied that It was not. In
response to questions ho sold that ho first
fell In with Iowa off Clenfucgos. Captain
Evans was then 111 and Commander Hogcrn
was In command. He did not recollect
whether he had communicated tho verbal
orders to tho latter. Ha first haw Cap
tain Evnns on May 29. Ho was then ques
tioned an to bis conversation with Captain
Folgor when tho latter suggested a circular
blockade, such as existed nt Wcl Hal Wei.
The admiral said he thought the fleet at
Wei Hal Wei was lnrger than his and that
there wero flanking vessels In that fleet.
He was asked whether he did not con
elder a circular bloekado with the vessels
pointing In, as mobile as tho other form
In that the ships could move either way by
turning with the helm.
Defend IIIm Tnctlc.
Tho adml-al replied that ne thought
a circular blockade, where all tho ves
sols charged to the center, would produce
confusion And Inevitably lead to a differ
ent arrangement according as the enemy
moved east or west. "The outcome," said
he, "could only be moro or less confu
sion, such as did actually occur later."
Trio Hdmlral's Attention was called to
Captain Folger's statement that tho lat
ter had ndrlsed him to go In closer at San
tlngo and his own statoment-ln-chlef that
on the next day Captain Folgcr had slg
oaled htm that they wero within raugo
of tho batteries. The ndmlrul In reply
changed the date of thn signal to a day
later. He read Folgcr'a signal: "I think
the forts may open nt this range." He
said when Folger raado this signal tho
squadron was In practically tho same posi
tion as on tho day Folgcr testified ho had
asked the admiral to go In closer. Wit
ness' attention was called to his state
mcnt regarding Santlngo, "Nor any ves
sel entered or depnrtcd," and he was
asked how bo knew this. Ho replied that
he only know It because he nover heard
of any ship gottlng In. On tho Cuban block
ade when a Frenchman succeeded In got
tlng through tho blockndo lino Into Havana
tho fact had been widely advertised ns a
great accomplishment. His conclusion,
thereforo, was that none had entered.
Coming to tho reconnnlsnnco on May 31.
when the Spanish ship Colon wns bom
barded as It lay In the harbor at Santiago,
Captain Lemly naked Admiral Schley when
lie nrst received nntlco that the com
mandcr-ln-chlof would be nt Santiago. The
witness replied that the notice bad come
In tho dlspatuh brought to him by Cap
tain Cotton, which wns dnted Mny 29. Thts
telegram was, ho said, not received until
May 31. Possibly, too, Now Orleans might
have brought Information of the coming
of Admiral Sampson,
"Why dirt you wait two days after the
discovery of the presence of the fleet In
the harbor before undertaking your rccon
notsaancesT"
Tnkr Time In Conl.
"For the rensou that 1 had used those
two dnys for coaling the fleet for fear the
enemy should come out."
Relating the occurrences of the, bombard
ment he recalled that Captain Hlggluson
had asked after ho (Schley) went aboard
Massachusetts that tho bombardment be
postponed until after dinner; that he
wurned some people to get off the turret:
that Commander Potts had given notice
that they were on the range, Ho did not
recall, he said, the signal to not go In
closer, but It wns possible that such a nig
nal hud been sent and It had not been re
Minted. It might be that it was with this
as with other signals which had not been

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. (Special Tele
gram.) Irrigation for tho arid and semi
arid states Is to be seriously considered In
President Roosevelt's first message to con
gress, nnd It will bo accorded as much
space ns will the part devoted to reci
procity nnd tho Isthmian canal. This Is
tho Judgment of the western senators and
representatives who havo seen the presi
dent In relation to this Important qucntlon.
Elwood Mead, Irrigation expert of tho
Department of Agriculture, also confirms
tho view that Irrigation will have serious
consideration In President Roosevelt's mes
sage. He had n long conference with the
chief executive todny. Mr. Mead reviewed
tho whole subject of Irrigation with the
president, who Is no stranger to tho wants
of tho west.
"Having lived for many years In tho arid
section of the country, President Roosevelt
did not havo to be told of tho present con
ditions In thnt section." said Mr. Mead.
"Our talk was along definite plans for the
reclamation of the arid lands, and I hope
somo plnn ntlsfylng all Interests for tho
upbuilding of the west enn be formulated
upon which wo All can agree."

WASHINGTON. Oct. 30.-Tlie annual re
port of Inspector General J. C. Brecken
ridge says that while there aro reports of
hnrmony nnd good will among tho officers
of tho army, the expression "all officers
nre thoroughly Instructed and efficient" Is
not heard so frequently as before the Span
ish war due no doubt to an Influx of young
and Inexperience; officers. Most reports,
however, are favorable. Somo lack ot at
tention given by officers to their dally life
and duties Is noted. The roport commends
the sagacity and ability of officers who have
conducted civil nffalrs Intrusted to them
abroad. Tho class of recruits received Is
reported, generally up to tho stnudard. The
discipline of the troops Is reported gen
erally good.
Of the post exchange the Inspector gen
eral says: "Tho reports show that wher
ever practicable post exchanges were In
oporatlon In the garrisoned posts at the
tlmo of the Inspeetor's visits and the pre
scribed rules nnd regulations jvoro being

PIERCE, Neb., Oct. 30. (Special Tele
gram.) A shooting tragedy occurred be
tween 2 and 3 o'clock this morning on tho
farm ot Christian Duerr, seven miles south

that Goorgo Fetterly and a friend who
have been buying cattle for Norfolk par
ties were In town In tho evening and after
drinking Indiscreetly started In a carriage
to Norfolk.
Duerr was awakened early In the morning
by tho barking ot his dog. Ho got up
and dressed and went outdoors and called,
supposing It wan a neighbor. He heard no
response' and as the dog was still barking,
he concluded something was wrong and
went Into the house and got his double-
barreled shotgun and went down toward
the barn, when aomconc ran out ot It. Duerr
called to the runner to halt, but tho latter
turned Around nnd fired a gun at Duerr, the
charge going over his shoulder. Duerr
lifted his gun and fired, tho shot hitting the
other man In tho head nbovo tho eyes and
killing him Instantly. The mnn had two
bridles belonging to Duerr In his bnnds
when ho was shot. Shortly afterward tho
Intruder's pal drove up, but Duorr told blm
to go on or ho also would be shot.
Word was sont to Norfolk and Dr. Holdcn
and Chief of Pollco Kano drove up and
Identified tho body ns that ot George Fet

Lohman, camo to Pierce early this morning
to Inform tho county sheriff nnd coroner,

Dend Mnn' Pnl In Defense,
NORFOLK, Neb,. Oct. 30. (Special Tele
gram.) About 1 o'clock thts morning
Ueorgo Fetterly, a cattle buyer, was killed
by Chris Duorr, a Russian farmer, who
lives about flvo miles northwest ot Norfolk,
one and one-hnlf miles north of Hadar, In
Plcrco county. Edmund George, who was
with Fetterly at the time ot the shooting,
drove into Norfolk and notified Chief of
Police Kane, who, in company with George
and Dr. Holdcn, went out to the Duorr
farm, where they found the dead body ot
Fetterly Just as ho had fallen, with a bridle
belonging to the farmer clutched tightly
in his left hand, and partly under his body
In his right hand and across his body lay
a double-barreled shotgun with one barrel
dlschatyed.
George, the. dead man's companion, ac-
on their way home to Norfolk and bad
stopped At Duerrs place to get a drink,
that Duerr camo out and ho heard three
thots fired, first ono and then two tn rapid
succession. Ho saw Fettorly fall and,
thinking him badly wounded, stnrted to
Norfolk to notify tho pollco nnd obtain
surgical assistance. Ho did not try to ex
plain tho presenco ot tho farmer's bridle In
the dead man's hands.
Duerr when found was patrolling ono of
his fields with two loaded shotguns ready
for use. His story was that being
(.wakened by some nolso ho got up and took
with him his shotgun. As ho started out
toward hi barn hj saw u man going away
from It with a bridle on his arm and he
called to him to halt. Instead tho man
turned and ttrod at him with his shotgun.
Duerr then brought his own gun up nnd
fired both barrels ns rapidly as possible, ono
of the charges taking effect In Fctterly's
forehead, killing him , almost Instantly.
Chief Kano ndvlscd Duerr to give himself
up to the sheriff of Plerco county, which ho
agreed to do.
When the chief of police and tho doc
tor arrived on tho ground they found the
body still wnrm. Edmund George, the
companion ot the dead man, Is under In
dictment for disposing of mortgaged prop
erty and will have his trial at tho Novom
