Captalil Chadwlck In hfs statement today
aid that tho precautionary dlHpatrtH'8
from the Navy department In regard to nt
tacking the Spanish shore batteries had
not been communlrated to Commodore
Schley. This statement Is regarded as of
great Importance by Admiral Schley's op
ponents, as It, distinctly contradjeta the ad
mini's own statements.
Captain SlgsheB trstilied' concerning his
Intervlow on , Drooklyn with Commodore
.Schley. Captain Katon was I be commander
of tho dispatch boat Resolute during the
war aud his testimony related largoly to
events which occurred Just before and Just
after tho battlo on July 3.

Mr. Anderson was chief quartermaster
of Drooklyn during the Spanish war and

Captain Borden said ho had been Junior

the ttirn 1 saw no vessels at all, although
I had a plain view out of the strn ports,
1 Judge I could see about 509 yards dis
tinctly." In reply to questions from Mr, Hayner,
he said he had seen Commodore Schloy three
times during the battle and that his bear
ing was "everything that the officers and
crew could havo expected."
The witness then related other Incidents
of the battle, saying "The most vivid fea
ture of the battle In my recollection oc
curred Just after Brooklyn had nlado Its
turn. I had relieved the gun captain In
charge of the starboard slx-poundcr gun
and I fired at three ships Inside of threo
minutes by a slight change In train. At
that time I could see no other American
ship."
On cross-examination the fact won
brought cut that during the turn Captain
Borden had been In charge of guns In tho
stern of the ship and had not been able to
See ahead.
Captain Dordcn was then excused and as
he left the stand Mr, Itayner said ho
would havo no more witnesses to call. Ho
said: "May It please tho court, we have
closed our case." This statement was mado
at 11:15 a. m. and the statement was made
In such qutct tones that It Is doubtful
whether its purport was understood by half
those present.
-hlrr' Report of llnlllr.
Captain Parker then asked to have put In
evidence a number of documents, Including
the report of the battle of July 3, which
Admiral Schley mado from Montevideo July
13, li'On. This report never has been
printed. Following Is an extract from It:
. "In my Judgment, from an unobstructed
view of tho entire field of action during the
combat, Vucaya was not more than 1,000
yards distant. My flag lieutenant, standing
at my elbow, reminded mo that tho dls
lance between the leaders of the Spanish
squadron rnd ourselves was approaching
our tactical diameter. The stadlmetcr at
this Instant Indicated 900 yards. Brooklyn
swung to starboard to meet what proved to
be the last of tho attempts to ram Brook
lyn, for Vlscaya then turned square to star
board and follow od Maria Teresa until the
lattor'ii destruction. These facts admit of
no contradiction, for they are based upon
tho independent Judgment and observation
of two or more persons, and upon tho stadl
metcr In the bunds ?t a person skilled In
Its use."
Ten minutes we-vo consumed In presenting
this report, which was admitted. Lieuten
ant (Irani was then called as the first wit
'ncss for tho rebuttal. The witness was In
terrogated concerning the events of May 31,
when Commodore Schley went aboard Mas
sachusetts for the purpose of making a rc
ronnolssance and bombarding Colon, espe
cially to the conversation In which Lieuten
ant Sears, flag lieutenant of Brooklyn, who
accompanied Commodore Schley on this oc
casion, was reported an urging that no ob
stacles bo put In tho way of letting the
bombardment go on, because he was repre
sented to havo said It had been difficult
enough to get thn commodore up to the
point of undertaking It.
In reply to questions Lieutenant Orant
said he bad seen Lieutenant Sears on board
Massachusetts during tho bombardment or
rcconnotssanco of May 31, and that he first
saw him on tho quarterdeck about 11 o!clock
of that day. "I had been below," continued
tho witness, "to get tho powder division
ready for action. Botweon 11 and 12 o'clock
I went with Lieutenant Sears Into tho navi
gator's room while ho was washing his
hands previous to going In to breakfast in
tho ward room, and I had a conversation
with him In that room and afterward a
tho ward room table."
Xriim' .Stalrmrut at Mess.
Tho witness said that the navigator waa
present part of the time during this con
versation. At the conversation he thought
about sixteen were present, practically the
entlro rues.
"I want you to stnte what the conversa
tion In the state room of tho navigator
was."
At this point the testimony was brought
to a sudden stop by an emphatic remark
by Mr. Itayner:
"I object."
Addressing the court, Mr. Rayner made
a vigorous speech, charging that the con
versation In the ward room of Massachu
setts was immaterial to the case; that aa
It was Irrelevant to the issue and as Ad
miral Schley was not present, the conver
sation was clearly lnadmissable. If this
talk could be permitted any remark mode
by Lieutenant Sears nt any other place
could be Introduced. Mr. Rayner quoted
soveral authorities In support of, his con
tention. Mr. Hanna contended that the testimony
was material and therefore, undor Mr. Ray-
ner's own authorities, admissible.
Following Mr. Hanna, Captain Icmly
quoted the remark which Llouteuant Scara
Is alleged to have mada as follows:
"For Qod'a sake don't discourage him
(meaning Commodore Schley), It la all that
we have boen able to do to work him up to
this."
Captain Parker followed with a brief
speech In support of Mr. Rayner s conten
tion, "It" he said, "commanding officer
are to be Judged by all the foolish and
ridiculous things young officers say In the
ward room, I don't know what would be
come of them."
The court then retired to consider the
point raised. The members of the court
were I it consultation fifteen minutes, and
when they returned Admiral Dewey an
nounced the court's decision as follows:
"The objection as mndo Is sanctioned by
the court."
More Witnesses to He Recalled.
The witness was then excused and after
a oriei consultation netween uaptam
Lemly and Mr. Hanna, Captain Slgsbee
was recalled. When he had taken his seat
Mr. Hanna stated that the witness had been
railed for the purpose of securing such
facts ns be might bo possessed of that the
court.or eoimsel might want to elicit from
him.
This statement brought Mr. Rayner to
Woman's Work in Club
The following scbedulo has been arranged
for classes at Tenth Street City mission,
under the supervision of MIfs Magee: Sun
day school at 3 o'clock; temperance clubs
for boys and girls, Tuesdays at 4 o'clock;
mothers' meetings, Wednesdays at 2
o'clock; Jewish Industrial classes, Thurs
days at o'clock: boys' and girls' tem
perance clubs, r'ridnys at 4 o'clock, and
Industrlnl classes after 3 o'clock on Satur
days. Gospel meeting are held every
evening at 8 o'clock.
Other Industrial classes are to open next
week ut the mission at Twelfth' and Nlch

basement of Trinity cathedral,
Mlis Magee has sent out an urge.nl ap
peal for warm clothing suitable for chil
dren to wear to school. There are some ten
or twelve families In the Cass Street school
district whose children are out of school
for want of clothing and Miss Mag;o atke
that clothing be sent to Tenth Street mis

Tho outlook for the mission work Is
bright this fall, five tons of coal having Al
ready becen contributed. Ms Magee has
been promised ample asslstsnce with the
class work.
Good Will mission, alio bttwetn Dodfs
his feet with the questions "You are call-1
Ing Captain Slgsbee In rebuttal, of course?" .
Captain Lemly I do not call It rebuttal:
wo called Captain Slgsbee because he Is
wasted to testify.
Apparently Mr. Rayner was surprised, i
He said: "Have we the right, after we
have closed tho case, to recall witnesses i
except In rebuttal? That would lead to an J
Interminable case. The rule of law Is you i
can rebut anything new that we have
brought out, but you cannot call witnesses
to sustain former statements they have
made. There Is no objection to a wltucss
In rebuttal."
Captain Lemly Counsel Is wrong when
he says I closed the case. I did not closo
It. I simply said "wo rest here," nnd I pro
pose to call further witnesses hereafter.
I am only going to call such witnesses as
the court thinks necessary in order to have
the facts bofore It.
He contended that this Is an Inquiry and
not a prosecution and that tho usual rules
of opening and closing and of rebuttal and
Bur-rebuttal followed In ordinary courts of
law were not to be followed In this case.
The court nt 12:50 p. m. took a recess
until 2 o'clock without deciding the point
raiacd.
l-'till l.llierlr In Testimony.
When the court reconvened after recess
Admiral Dcwoy announced the decision of
tin court on the question of rebutting tes
timony, holding that witnesses may bo
called' at any time, or recalled for the pur
pose of making' corrections of former testi
mony, or additions In. the naturo of cor
rections. They cannot, however, reiterate
former evidence.
Tho latter part of the decision was read
by Captain Lemly to the witness, In order
that he might confine himself In. his an
swers In accordance therewith. Captain
Lemly then asked him to proceed to make
such corrections of his testimony or such
addition In the nature of corrections as he
might desire.
Captain Slgsbee answered as follows:
"I havo carefully, slnco my last testi
mony, gone over all of my official docu
ments, all of my private letters and the
records ofst. Paul. I havo no correction
to make In the testimony I then gave, so
far as' it was given, excepting that I said
I could not recollect whether there rvero
one or two assemblages of commanding
officers aboard ship off Santiago before tho
arrival of the flying squadron thorn on May
26, nnd that If tbero were two visits, one
must have been on board Yale. My log
shown there were two assemblages, both
on board Harvard, and that I went on the
necond visit with the captain of Yale, and
from that I have come to tho conclusion that
the' second visit was on board Yale. That
is the only correction I dcslro to make."
Captain Lemly You arc llkowlso per
mitted at this time to make additions In
the nature of corrections to your testi
mony. This I say not for the purpose of
suggesting nnythlng, but merely for tho
purposo of giving you the opportunity
which the court Intends you shall have.
"I desire to state that I informed Com
modore Schley on the occasion of my visit
to him on May 26 that I thought that St.
Paul had been chased by a torpedo boat
on the night of Its arrival or tho subse
quent night; second, that I detailed to htm
the communication between Captain Good
rich of St. Louis and myself "on board St.
Paul as wo passed each other, when I was
bound from Capo Itaytton to' Santiago and
Bt. Louis was bound from Santiago to Capo
Haytlen."
Prena Ilont la Wnrnrd.
The witness said that since he was for
merly on tho stand he had recalled that, he
did sen the press boat Somers N. Smith on
May 28 and ho also recalled, ho said, that
on that evening he had seen tho press boat
Premier and had warned tboso aboard
against remaining where they then wero
because of the danger of being attacked by
torpedo destroyers;
Continuing, he said that In his Intervelew
with Commodore Schley on board Brook
lyn ho was told by the commodore that St.
Paul (Slgsbee'a boat) was to go with the
flying squadron to Key West and on the
following 'day was to tako Texas In tow.
The witness remarked: "There was al
most no catechism at that time on the part
of Commodore Schley. I volunteered al
most everything that I said about Santiago
and the Spanish fleet. His whole conversa
tion was on the subject of coal and nothing
but coal and, so far aa I could Judge, he
already bad made up his mind to return to
Key West. He -told me that he was going
to Key West."
The next witness was Lieutenant John
II. Roys, who was a watch officer on board
Eagle during tho war. He said that when
Eagle met the flying squadron as the latter
was on Its way to Clenfuegos he bad heard
nothing said to the effect that there was
"no news." He was sure that on that oc
casion there was no direct communication
between Eagle and Brooklyn and that they
wete not nearer than a mile of each other.
He said alio that he had been present when
Commodore Schley had later sent Eagle
away to Port Antonio and bad heard Com
mander Southerland ask to be allowed to
coal from Merrlmac.
When Mr, Roys was excused Nells An
derson, who was quartermaster on Brooklyn
during the battle of July 3 and who was
stationed at the wheel In the conning tower,
was called. He said -that Commodore
Schley gave the order "Helm hard aport."
Tribute to Indiana.
Captain Joseph O. Eaton, who was In
command of Resolute during the Santiago
campaign, then took the stanJ.
His testimony related mainly to the chase
of tho Austrian ship Maria Teresa In the
belief that It was a Spanish vessel on July
3, Immediately after the close of the battlo
off Santiago. He expressed the opinion
that at the beginning of the battle of July
3 the fire of Indiana had been more effec
tive than that of others of the American
vessels.
Captain F. E. Chadwlck of New York was
next called to testify concerning tho pre
cautionary orders given by the department
concerning the bombardment of shore bat-
' terles. He' recognized and Identified the
and Capitol avenue on Tenth street, con
ducted for rescue work by Mother Lee of
Bancroft home, It again extending Us work.

Mr. Rayner questioned Captain Chadwlck
at aomc length concerning the details of
the conversation between Admiral Sampson
and Commodore Schley at Key West rn
May IS, but the witness Insisted that he
had given In his previous testimony, In
which ho bad said that Commodore Schley
had professed absolute loyalty to Admiral
Sampson, the only actual detail of the con
versation which he could recall. He was
sure, he said, that It anything had been
aid on that subject be would recall the
fact.
The last witness concluded bis testimony
at f:15 o'clock and the court adjourned
until 11 o'clock tomorrow.
R. tW. Breckenrldge has returned from
New' York, Boston and Washington. In
tho latter city be spent somo time nt the
Schley court of Inquiry, concerning which
he gives tho Impressions of a lawyer.
"Nothing In western life can compare
with that court," sold he, "so much as a
coroner's Inquest. There lire really no
rules for tho Introduction of evidence, ex
cept as thoy arc established by tho Judges
of tho court, i'eoplc give their Impres
sions and opinions on tho witness 'stand
with tho same posltlvcness and directness
as they testify to facts. As a legal proposi
tion there Is nothing like a court of In
quiry on earth, but from the standpoint of
a citizen It l extremely interesting.
"From what I heard of tho testimony I
am firmly convinced that several of the
naval officers aro careless with tho truth.
No, I don't mean to say that they nre hon
estly mistaken, but that, regardless of fact,
they set out to besmirch Admiral Schley,
and I am convinced that they will fall In
tho attempt,
"A personal friend of mine nt Washington,
who Is familiar with tho whole affnlr and
who stands closo to several of tho older
officers of the navy, told mo what Is the
generally accepted opinion In naval circles
outside of tho cllquo which is opposing
Schley, aa to tho causo of tho actions, of tho
officers whose criticisms have brought about
tho Inquiry. According to his atory, Bevcral
years ago Admiral Schley, while a captain,
was at the head of a board whoso duty It
was to provide fittings nnd furnlturo for tho
ships. Somo of tbo vessels had been fitted
up regardless of expenso, the chairs In tho
officers' quarters being upholstered with
velvet. When the pile -wore from tho velvet
the officers mado requisition for now chairs.
Their requisitions were honored, but when
the chairs wero received they wero uphol
stered in material having no pile; something
moro serviceable, but nnt bo attractive.
When tho same class of officers mado requi
sition for now portlerrcs nnd hangings for
their staterooms they received good ma
terial, but it was of a character which ap
pealed to tho sense of economy rather than
to that of luxury. The officers felt person
ally Insulted and appealed to tho board for
tho material thoy had been given before
This appeal vas met by an answer from
Schley, who told them that ns long iih ho
romalned at tho head of the board, scrvlco
and not appearance would bo tho chief qual
ity notlceablo In tho furnishings provided
for vessels. This ended tho Incident for tho
'time, but later somo of theso ofllcers bo
came powerful In naval affairs, and as soon
as tho opportunity offered they attempted
to show their power to (ho ofTtcor who had
Incurred their 111 will. It looks llko a child
ish story, but from tbo appearance of the
officers; opposed to Schley and the Impres
sion they mado upon mo. It seems to bo In
keeping with their character.
"When I left Washington thoy were tell
ing a good story whloht shows tho trouble
President Roosevelt Is having with otllco
seekers who hope to obtain office throned
ther alleged standing y;Hh President Mc
Klnley. As tbo story goes, a party from
Illinois called with Senator Cullom to ob
tain for one of the .number a consulate In
Germany. The senator bad coached tho
friend of tho applicant and told him to let
the president and the senator do tho talk
ing. When the party was introduced the
applicant seemed to mako a favorable Im
pression on the president nnd all went well
until the friend of the applicant remarked:
'Mr. President, my friend here had a posi
tive assurance from President McKlnlev
that he would be appointed.' The presi
dent's face hardened, but he said nothing,
and the subject was changed. Just before
they left the friend again remarked: 'But,
Mr. President you have not said that you
would appoint my friend and I told you he
had a positive promise of appointment from
Mr. McKlnley.' The president snapped his
teeth and arose from his seat saying: 'Your
friend Is tho seventh man who has given
me assurance that be bad a personal prom
ise from Mr. McKlnley for this particular
position. I have nothing moro to say on
the subject, and he turned bis back upon
the visitors as they left the room."

MKXICO CITV, Oct. 31. The Pan-American
congress has received from tho Spau
lsh colony nt Buenos Ayri-j a cablegram
congratulating It on thu sentiments favor
able to Spain, expressed by General Rafael
Reyes, dclegato of Colombia, nt tho mu
nicipal banquet.
Tho session this morning, which finally
resulted In tho admission of tho members
of tho press to tho sessions of tho con
gress, was very Interesting. Tho first
proposition submitted was that 'of Peru,
whoso delegates asked that as many of (ho
press representatives as tho hall would
hold bo admitted, their number being left
to tho discretion of tho president of tho
congress. This proposition was rejected
by tho votes of Chill, Colombia, Uruguay,
tho United States, Mexico, Brazil, Haytl,
Guatemala, Honduras Salvador, Nicaragua
and Costn Rica, twelve votes against soven.
Tho next proposition presented by Chill,
differing slightly from that of Peru, was
taken up. It had been expected that Peru
and Us allies would vote against Chill's
proposal, which, united to tho votes of
tho delegates hnstllo to the admission of
tho press In any form, would havo defeated
It, thus excluding ncWspnper representa
tives. However, Senor Alznmoru of Peru sup
ported Chill's proposal,, saying: "Wo con
sider principle, not persons."
Senor Cnrbo of Ecuador Jumpei to his
feet nnd said that tho last expression was
a reflection on the other delegations and
called on Alznmoru to withdraw his words.
Alzamora declined and the Incident was
assuming a somewhnt threatening charac
ter when tho president of tho congress,
Senor Rnlgoea, Intervened, Baying that he
saw nothing censurable in Alzamora's
words.
Chill's proposal, owing to tho notion of
Peru, was adopted. Thero nre those here,
however, who say that Chill's real object
was to defeat the admission of )thu press
and that Peru's stand was a great surprise,
to Chill.

Contagious
Blood Poison
There is no poison so highly contagious,
so deceptive and so destructive. Don't be
too sure you are cured because all external
Eigus of the disease have disappeared, and
the doctor says you aro .well. Many per
sons have been dosed; with Mercury and
Potash for months or years, and pro
nounced cured to realize when too late

Catarrh, Scrofula or severe skin disease,

it does this so thoroughly and effectually
that there is never a return of the disease
