Consul Genera Dickinson of Constantinople Is greatly cba grlned because the fact that ho had received a letter from Miss Kllen M. Stone leaked out. Ho says It Is calculated to seriously affrct, If not completely undo, the progress already achieved. On two previous occa slons negotiations with the brigands who abducted the American missionary wero abruptly broken off by the former, owing to tho premature disclosure of Its contents, which the bandits regarded as being a breach of the understanding with them, Mr. Dkklnson Informed a representative of the Associated Press that It Is absolutely necessary, If Miss Stone Is ever to be re leased, that the course of tho negotiations be kept secret. It is hopeless to expect the brigands to placo confidence in the negotia tors when they find that information which they .regard as secret is constantly leaking out. RANSOM IS AGREED UPON All DpIhIIn Kxcept Mnniier and Place of Payment for .Minn Mono's Hell-n no .Until lo lie Mettled. SOKIA. Bulgaria, Nov. 7. Yesterday Mr. Dickinson dispatchul a messenger with a reply to tho brigands' proposals as formu lated in Miss Stono's letter. It Is under stood that an agreement as to the amount of the ransom has been virtually estab lished. The settlement as to tho manner and place of payment nnd the surrender of the captives presents the most difficulty, but an entente Is expected soon. Tho bri gands are not willing to cross Into Turkey to obtain the money, while tho Bulgarian government would oppose releasing Miss Stouo on Bulgarian soil. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7. No progress was reported today In connection with tho rescue of Miss Stone. On the contrary, It appears that the negotiations havo been temporarily suspended ftom the Bulgarian side. An effort will bo made to resumo them through Salonlca. Mr. Eddy, secre tary of tho United States legation, Is having frequent Interviews with Sir Nicholas O'Connor, tho British ambassador, with a view" to n resumption. He proposes to eo to Thorapla for a few days, In order to bo In close touch with tho ambassador. INQUIRY AT AN END (Continued from First Page.) within tho harbor. "Tho eplsodo of the dove sent out from the ark was not re peated with succcbs," ho nald. Considering the voyago from Clenfuegos Captain Lemly said: "Tho commodore's orders directed that he proceed with all dis patch, but cautiously, to Santiago. He cer tainly proceeded slowly. But "cautiously" did not weaken the force of tho words, "all dlepatcb." The great military necessity" at this time was to find and check tho enemy's fleet. Caution was needed lest it might pass undetected to Clenfuegos or lest It might be stumbled upon without prepara tion. If neither carried lights. For these reason' tho greatest caution demanded all dispatch becauso the timely reaching of Santiago limited to thu utmost such chances. Certainly the flying squadron did not leave with dispatch or with caution, as shown particularly by tho fact with re gard to the latter condition, that It was using the nrdols xystem of signals for hours after getting under way. It would ap pear that there was llttlo to. prevent Its departure for the eastward from being dis covered and In due course communicated to Santiago. Ho admitted that the weather on tho voyage was bad for the smaller ves sels, particularly Eagle, and said that the speed of tho squadron was slowed In order that they might keop up. lletroKrnde Movement Taken. Continuing In this connection ho said: "It matters not what Captain Slgsbee or Pilot Nuuez told Commodore Schley. If Nunez exhibited no better acumen then thnn when before the court, tho Information be supplied should have been given little weight. Whatever opinion they may havo given the commodore as to the presence of the Spanish squadron In tho harbor ot San tiago (I believe that tho captain never said that tho Spanish fleet was not therein), the commodoro was alone responsible for the retrograde movement. It was his duty to ascertain to a certainty whether the Spanish ships were In tho harbor, an obligation which no negatlvo Information of Captain Slgsbee could remove pr even modify. And It Is Inconceivable that a positive statement as to the contents of a harbor of the well known continuation of Santiago could have been cnado by Slgsbee." The details ot the rctrogrndo movement was rehearsed, as were those concerning the delivery ot dispatches by the boat Har vard and tho proffer of Lieutenant Bealc to go ashore and communicate, with the Cuban Insurgents. Captain Lemly contended that the dispatch conveying positive Information of the presence of the Spaniards must have been delivered to Commodore Schley, not withstanding his denial, becMiso he con sidered It "Inconceivable that, having It, Captain Cotton should not have commu nicated Its contents to the commodore." An Error of Conduct. Here Captain Lemly quoted In full Corn more Schley's "cannot obey orders" dis patch to the department ot May 27, and commented upon It by saying: "Whether the department's Instructions definitely di rected In positive terras thnt tho squadron remain off Santiago or whether Its desire that this should be done was stmplyMndl cated, appears to me, under nil the cir cumstances, to be Immaterial. Disobedience ot orders may be an Imperative and glorious duty, but, If It be not Justified by tho factB It cannot be condoned by terming It an error of Judgment. This was not nn error of Judgment, It was an error of conduct." Taking up tho case with the testimony concerning the Interview between Admiral Sampion and Commodore Schley off Key West before the cruise to Clenfuegos, he said: i "Senior counsel has Indicated to tho court certain considerations which should be taken Into account In giving relative weights to tho testimony of Captain Chad wick and the applicant relative to the sub ject matter of the conversation between Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley at Key West Mny 21. In connection with this the latter's statements about this mat ter made at other times should be regarded and particularly his statoment to the sen ate committee on naval affairs and the con sideration that at this time neither Ad miral Sampson nor Commodore Schley nor Captain Chadwlcl: had any notion tho Spanlth ships would go to Santiago. Rule Work lloth Wn. "I ask the court to apply to tbe applicant as a wltneas the well known rule referred to with so much fervor by senior counsel that where two witnesses testify with re gard to the' same matter and one of them remembers and thn other merely docs not remember the circumstances ot the matter, or let us say the conversation, the evidence of him who remembers must be accepted. If this be done, then there is llttlo left ot the evidence given beforo this court by tho applicant, particularly upon his cross-examination." Speaking of dispatch No. 7, the "Denr Schley" letter, he said; "Mr. Raynerargued at length to show that order No. 7 was an order to remain at Clenfuegos. This we do absolutely grant and we have never contended other wise. Misunderstandings mny have arisen as to our contention that a certain word should be 'Santiago.' That word, how ever, was not In, connection with any order to go there and the order Is fully recog nized as being nn order to remain nt Clen fuesos. "Senior counsel hns asked how tho addi tional copy of No. 7 got to Commodoro Schloy. Wo reply that we believe It got to him most clearly by Iowa. What did Commander Rodgers deliver If net the sec ond copy of No. 7. since he testifies to tho delivery of dispatches, and while thero arc no papers nmong Admiral Schley's corre spondence bearing the receiving mark of May 22, the receiving mnrks on the backs of letters No. 7 tn Mr. Wells' handwriting nre admittedly In error." Speaking of the assertion that while off Clenfuegos Captain McCalla had made no effort to communicate with the Cuban In surgents, Captain Lemly said: Two Mlanlon Are Dlveme, "There Is no evidence of the fruitless at tempt to communicate with the Insurgents which Captain Parker speaks of. Both ot counsel cite McCalla's conduct in this In stance as an explanation for Commodore Schley's making no effort to communicate with Iho Insurgents. But when Commander McCalla was there It was simply to block ade: when Commodoro Schley was there, there was the additional question as to the whereabouts of tho Spaniards." Referring to tho Information given Com modore Schley by tho scout boots upon tho commodore's arrival off Santiago, May 20, Captain Lemly Bald It was reported to him, as agreed by Captain Slgsbee and tho com modore, that nothing had been seen ot the Spanish fleet. On this point he said: "Some of the Bcouts had been off San tiago since May 21. This Information of Slgsbce's, then, meant that It the Spanish squadron had been there In the first place It had not left. Tho dispatches will clearly show that there was no doubt as to tho Spaniards having been at Santiago; the only doubt that ever existed wns as to whether they bad left. "It has been Intimated by counsel that had tho applicant been otherwiso advised by Captain Slgsbee. or had ho been In any way advised by Captain Wise, ho might not have undertaken tho rctrogrndo move ment, but both of these officers testify that when they came up with the flying squadron tho retrograde movement was already be gun and Slgsbee has testified that the questions principally discussed on board thn flagship were not of tho whereabouts of tho Spanish fleet, but the question of coaling. Tho dispatch sent on tho morning of May 27 confirms this witness. Advice Would lie l'reumitlnn. "With a purpose so fixed In tho commo dore's mind It Is likely that advtco on tho part of Slgsbee and Wlso to remain at Santiago would now be construed by coun sel In the same manner In which they ap pear to have regarded Hodgson's caution to Commodore Schley as to tho proximity of Texas; In other words, It might now be construed as nn unseemly protest, "As to v the question ot disobedience ot orders," said Captain Lcmljv "counsel has properly stated that a report that orders would be obeyed docs not constitute dlsobedlonce. Commodore Schley's conduct Is being scrutinized In the light of fncts and not alone In tho light ot tho state ments he raado concerning his Intentions, Counsel hns cited tho disobedience of Nel son, but at Copenhagen Nelson disobeyed ordors and went for tho enemy. Tho ap plicant's disobedience, If proved, will be shown to be In delaying In bringing him self Into the presence of the onemy." "Counsel," said Captain Lemly, "have found thcmsolves In tho unfortunnto posi tion ot being obliged to attack the testi mony of many witnesses. As to theso wit nesses whose testimony has been assailed, either directly or Indirectly, I do not deem It necessary to say anything In their behalf. They are all officers of tho navy in good standing; and the court has had full oppor tunity to observe their manner on tho stand. The principal crime laid against any of them Is their youth anil this they will eventually outgrow. It may bo added thnt they rango In years between 30 and 47. All of them are, therefore, eligible In such qualification to election to the United States senate. More over, they compare, man for man, moro than favorably In this respect with tho witnesses called for tho applicant." Speaking of the alleged colloquy on Brook lyn during the battle, Captain Lemly said: "As to tho testimony upon the point whether this exchnngo of remarks really oc curred, wo have Hodgson's sworn state ment beforo this court, his statement In the Investigation before Captnln Chadwick end bis several letters to the applicant In which he adheres to the substantial accu racy of tho newspaper report as printed." Texn I HndniiKerrd. Discussing Brooklyn's loop, Captain Lemly expressed tho opinion, based upon evidence, that tn turning to starboard, when all the other American' vessels turned to port, Brooklyn endangered not only Texas, but other vessels as well. It was, ho said, clearly established that Texas stopped and that It reversed one or both of Its en gines. The responsibility for this niovo, ,116 argued, rested entirely upon Commodore Schloy and It could not be delegated to any ono by blm as a squadron commander. "Captain Cook's evidence on this point seems, as a whole," he said, "to Indicate that be considered himself In a naval duel and Initiated the turn to starboard, with out so much as asking the commodore, within a few feet ot him, whether he ap proved a step that Involved squadron move ments. This confirms tho Impression, upon which I have already enlarged, that thn battle oft Santiago was a captain's fight. At best the loop was n tremendous risk and, I submit, without adequate Juctlflca tlon." Whatever tho distance Brooklyn ran In making this turn, he contended that It did turn from, Instead of toward the enemy. "It would seem," he said, "that It should have adopted the other course, If not for the purpose of placing Itself nearer Ccr vera's ships, at least in order to escape any possibility of endangering or delaying tho other vessels of our squadron." With the conclusion of Captain Icmly'H remarks the court at 3:45 p. ra. adjourned with the Intention ot holding no more pub lic sessions. Pi-avenger Tax Male Yield Well, PIERRE, S, D..

Ex-President Clevoland spoko of "Tho Obligations of National Co-PartnershIp, ' saying In part; "Tho most serious and persistent evil that disturbs co-opcratlon among our people In found in the contentions and quarrels be tween employers and employes. Surely as an original proposition there should bo no nntagonism In this country between labor and capital. On tho contrary, they should bo In ono closo alllanco and friendship. "Our Institutions forbid that an explana tion of such nntagonism should be found In class Jealousy and abuses. No American citizen was ever yet doomed by birth to a life of labor or poverty, and fortunes aro the products of Industry and Intelligent endeavor. Labor and capital touch and mlnglo so constantly nnd naturally among us that tho laborer of tmlnv u r,wi,,.i.. tho employer of labor tomorrow. They should always supplement each other ns tho warm rain supplements tho fertile soil, to produce In Joint contribution, an abun dant store of tho riches of nature. "I desire distinctly to dlsnlnlm v inten tion to suggest what mny bo the cause or causes ol tho dtslocatiou which tinfortu nntcly so frequently occurs In tho relation ship of labor to capital. Whether It re sults from unreasonable and Irritating mnnds on the part of labor, nr u-hnth our worltlngmen listen too credulously to umuKu counsels, or wncther, again, tho trouble arises from tho greed and avarice of capital and of its Immonso aggregations, I do not pretend to say.

Tho situation Itself proves that somewhere thoro aro members of our partnership In American citizenship who act In violation of partnership duty, and I am suro that I venture nothing In making the assertion that tho only remedy for this situation must be found In a re turn to tho observances of tho law of American co-oporntlou. This return will uot bo accomplished from nursing real or Imaginary wrongs on the part of labor, nor by lordly and selfish nrrogauco on tho part of capital. A beginning must bo made by conspicuous examples of a recognition of tho duty and obligations which aro tho con ditions upon which tho full enjoyment ot our partnership advantages depends. These examples should lnduco conservative and tolerant counsels; they should he promi nently recognized and appreciated nnd con stantly pressed upon tho view of nil who may be remiss In their obligations to American co-operation, whatever the scope and naturo of these obligations may be.
