The mar ket on fat sheep and lambs could safely be quoted strong to 10c higher all around. Thero weru a limited number of feeder buyers on tho market this morning, so that trade was n llttlo slow. The best stuff, however, sold Just nbout steady, but other kinds were slow nnd weak.

Con tinuing, the writer says: Heretofore It has been believed that tho battlo was fought nnd won by tho North Atlantic squndron nnd the flying squadron. If tho testimony of tho last fortnight is true It was practically fought and won hy Brooklyn and Oregon alono except for such slight assistance ns Texas was able to offer. According to this version of tho battlo, when tho Spanish ships came out tho Amerlcnns moved forward to meet them In accordance with tho pre-arranged plnn, with the design of sinking them nt the mouth ot tho harbor as they nttemptcd to escape. This plnn proved a failure, according to this recent testimony. The whole fire of tho squndron was concentrated upon Maria Teresa and sho was destroyed. Tho other Spanish ships got safely away, though some of them had been struck by American shells, nnd Cervera's fleet, minus Maria Teresa, started on Its run for life. Tho Span(ards were fleeter than the American vessels. They had a fleet mostly mnd up of swift cruisers, while that of the United States was mosly made up of slow battleships. Once they got away from tho American fire, therefore, It was to be assumed that they could escape altogether. As a matter of fact, according to the testimony, this Is Almost what did occur. Tho Spaniards got nwny from all the. Amer ican ships except Brooklyn nnd Oregon, which for somo unaccountablo reason was able to beat all the other American battle ships and almost keep up with Brooklyn. Ono ot tho officers of Oregon, In describing on the witness stnnd tho mighty rush ot his ship, said that It went by the other Amor lean battleships as If they wero anchored, Tho part which the American squadron played In this battle, therefore, ended In that short melee at the mouth ot tho harbor In which Teresa was destroyed. After that tho battlo proper began, and It was conducted by Brooklyn and Oregon alone. The other ships could only lumber alone In the wake of theso two, passing tho burning Spanish ships which had headed In shore, taking their surrenders and rescu ing the Spanish sailors. Texas alono managed to hang on, Just In sight of Brooklyn and Oregon a part ot the time, and doing what It could to help, but that, according to this testimony, was very little. Ono of the officers of Oregon testi MAN WHO RIDES TUB STORM. M. Santos-Damont nnrt III Wonderful, Balloon, An authorized article on the Brazilian Aeronaut, M. SantoB-Dumont, appears In the November Century from the pen of Sterling Helllg: This young Brazilian Inventor works for the love of the thing, not for lucre. Ho has never felt moved to apply for a slnglo pat ent. He Is a son ot the "coffeo king" of Brazil, the proprietor of the Santos-Dumont plantations of Sao Paulo, the friend of the former emperor, Dora Pedro, nnd the bene factor and adviser of whole populations. Santos-Dumont, the father, although a Bra zilian by birth and nationality, was French by descent, and had his technical education at tho Ecole Centralo (Arts and Industries) In Parts. Thanks to this education, he was the first to apply scientific methods to Bra zilian coffee culture, so that bis planta tions became tho most flourishing In the land, having 4,000,000 coffee plants, occu pying 9,000 laborers, comprising towns, manufactories, docks nnd steamships, and served by 146 miles of private railroads. It was on these railroads that the young Santos-Dumont, before ho wob 12 years of age, drove locomotive engines for his pleas ure and developed the taste for mechanics and Invention which saved him, coming young and rich to Paris, from a life of mere sporting leisure. Until 18 years ot age, when ho completed his education nt the University of Rio de Janeiro, ho re mained In Brazil, always returning In vaca tion time to the wild back country ot the plantation, where be became a mighty hunter, killing wild pigs and small tigers by preference, and great snakes out of a sense of duty. Arriving In Europe In 1891, he in ado a tourist trip and ascended Mount Blanc. A part of 1891 and 1892 he spent between Lon don and Brighton, perfecting his English, which he now speaks as well and as often ns French; but he always returned to Paris, where in 1892 ho was already driving auto mobiles. In 1894 ho mado a short trip to tho United States, visiting New York, Chi cago and Boston. He did not begin bal looning until 1S97, in the summer of which year he made his first ascent In company with the late M. Mnchuron. In tho same year he made twenty other ascensions, n number ot them unaccompanied, and became a reliable pilot of spherical balloons. Ho has, Indeed, an Ideal figure for the sport, uniting remarkablo strength, agility and coolness to his Jockey's weight of scarcely 100 pounds. For this reason ho was able to lower the volurao of tho "Brazil," his first spherical balloon, to tho unusual min imum of 113 cubic meters. The llttlo "Bra zil" was always filled with hydrogen, and after each ascension he never failed to bring it back with him In his valise. This Brazilian has neither tho structure, tho complexion, nor the exuberant gestures ot the men of his country. Ho Is pnle, cold, and phlegmatic, even. If the words may be applied to one so actlvo. In his moments of greatest enthusiasm and of most lively disappointment ho Is always the came; and he Is as free from affectation as a child. He has a weakness for driving dog cart tandems and something which ban had a vital Infiuenco over his career as a bal loonist ho has been an Intrepid automobllo chauffeur from tho first. Ho began with a Peiifwt roadster of two and a half horsepower. Ho has since owned and driven half a dozen automobiles of con tinually increasing speed nnd power, his longest trip without stop being taken In 1898, between Nlco and Paris, nnd accom plished with n six horsepower Panhard In fifty-four hours. Latterly ho hns aban doned petroleum In favor of electricity. In a dainty " light-running American buggy manufactured In Chlrago. It servos him, ho says, better than tho more troublesomo touf-tcuf for his morning spin through the Bols nnd his afternoon errands from tho balloon maker's at Vauglrard to his apart-, mcnt In the Avenue des Champs-ElyBecs, nnd from tho Aero club's ground at St. Cloud to the Automobllo club In tho I'laco do la Concorde. "I was onco enamoured tf petroleum automobiles becauso of their freedom" ho explains. "You can buy tho c&sence everywhere; nnd so at a moment's notlco one Is at liberty to start oft for Rome or St. Petersburg. But when I dis covered that I did not want to go to Rome or St. Petersburg, but only to tnke short trips about Paris, I went In for tho electric buggy. "I got my first Idea of putting an auto mobile motor under a cigar-shaped balloon filled with hydrogen gas while returning from the Paris-Amsterdam automobllo race in 1897." he said when he began giv ing me this Interview, "From the begin fied that even New York, coming up an hour after It was all over, passed all the ships except Texas before It reached Oregon. If this testimony Is accepted as true, It Is said that It will work a great chango In the popular nnd tho historical conception of the battlo of Santiago. It Is regarded as significant, In connection with It, that tho popular and offlclnl understanding of tho battle has been built up almost entirely by the officers of thn other ships. . The officers of Brooklyn nnd Oregon havo hcrctoforo been extremely reserved about the battlo and most of tho tnlklng has been done by others, Tho testimony of the last two weeks gives the first real gllmpso of Brooklyn-Oregon version of tho battle. Ono of the witnesses In this linn was Lieutenant Commander Charles H. Harlow, the executive officer of Vixen. That little ship had no business In the fight and very properly stayed out of It; but It kept along tho flank of tho fight nil the time, observing It. Vixen was tho only ship which had lelsuro to look on and noto everything; Tho oftlccr who acted ns official looker-on, so to speak, was Harlow, who, under In structions from his commander, went on deck nnd witnesses the fight, watch In hand, dictating notes as tho battlo went on. Ills ship, though out of the battle, kept up with Brooklyn and Oregon. Harlow testified that after Maria Teres was destroyed not an American ship was In tho battle but Brooklyn and Oregon, cx copt for tho small part which Texas played. Ho also testified that whon Indlann stopped and went out of the light It had only reached tho point where Brooklyn lay at tho time the Spaniards enme out. Indiana's log says that that vessel wns "soon loft hopelessly behind." A suggestion of this testimony was fore shadowed some weeks ngo, when Com mander Schuctzc, tho navtgntor of Iowa, was on tho stand. Asked what was tho greatest error In tho official chart, Schuclzo bluntly replied that It gavo his ship a speed of eighteen knots, when In reality It wns only nlno or ten. Tho speed of eighteen knotB waB necessary to keep Iowa In tho light, but Schuetzc was qulto willing to nd mlt that Iowa only made half that. Tho full significance of this was not seen until tho testimony of last week. if this lato testimony Is true, tho question will naturally arlso, how tho public could bo long have been misled. Asldo from the silence of Brooklyn nnd Oregon officers,' only now broken, there is a suggestion nbout this In tho testimony of Walnwrlght, Hollner and Schuctzc about the way In which tho official chart was compiled. It was, In brief, that when the Board of ning everybody was against the Idea. I was told that' an explosive gas engine would Ignite tho hydrogen In tho balloon above It and that the resulting explosion would end the experiment with my life. La chambre, my balloon constructor, went to work without enthusiasm. So far from oth ers convincing me thnt their notions were worth taking up, ns has been eald, I met with nothing but discouragement." Such a categorical statement ought to dlspoao of the legend of a young "Maecenas of balloon builders" who "docs not set up himself to Invent machines, only to judge ot those which Inventors bring to him and of the work done by tho mechanics he em ploys." Colonel Rcnard's assertion that M. Santos-Dumont is not a man of science, but un sportsman do l'acrostatlon qua a Vbcaucoup do crancrlo (an aerostatic sports man who .has a great deal of swagger) is equally inexact. Sufficiently at home tn mathematical mechanics to mako tho calcu lations which necessarily preceded not only the construction of his various airships, but their very Idea; sufficiently practiced and Ingenious to make his own models, the young Inventor owes no more to his con structors -and hired mechanics than ho docs to bis theoretical friends.

A Minneapolis woman, Mrs. Kugonlc Goft, Famous Battle of Santiago In a New Light. Navigators met to get up that chart every body Insisted on having his ship put Into tho light In a favorable position, that there was a deadlock, a threat of starving tho board out, And thnt tho upshot was a fnlso and worthless chart, which put everybody Into tho battle whether ho was or not, though even then nobody was satisfied. It this is correct, It is regardod ns affording hint how, not only tha chart,, but the whole official and popular version ot the matter, may have been nrrlved at particu larly In view of the unbroken silence from Brooklyn and Oregon. Rear Admiral Schley has testified nbout his own plan of battlo earlier In the cam paign, during tho tlmo he was In command. It was to form In column nnd attack the lending ship first, and then the next, In stead of attacking tha enemy In the center with the full force. That Schley, If ha had a plan of battle, must havo had that one, It Is argued, as being shown by tho fact that he always kept hie ships In that formation whenever he met susplclous-looklng ships and also on blockade. It appears that after Sampson's plan of a general attack In tho harbor entrance hnd failed, tho plan which Brooklyn nnd Oregon followed was ns nearly tho samo ns that which Schley Intended to two ns It could be, considering tho circumstances. It was also something like tho plan which, it Is said, Captain Clark had Intended to em ploy If he had mot tho enemy during his famous trip up the South American coaBt with Oregon.
