At a meeting of tho municipal council to
day Dr. Clark, chairman of the sanitary

the plague and gave details of each caso

The nature of tho official announcement
has reassured tho public and allayed appre

known to connect them with the plague
there. In seeking for the origin of the

policeman who handled the clothing of the
persons brought to tho mortuary at Prince's

one of tbo mounds for exhibition at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition.
"Tho mounds are tn tho precise condition
In which the Indians left them," says Mr.
Bushnell. "They have never been opened
and It Is almost certain that Indian relics
will bo found when they aro opened. I can
not tell from the superficial examination I
have glvon them whether they were burial
mounds or simply dwelling mounds, but In
either case the scientific opening of the
constructions should result in very Inter
esting developments."
The appointment of Thomas W. Crldlcr,
third assistant secretary of state, to bo

Purchase Exposition when he retires from
his present position has been approved.

(Continued from First rage.)
recorded, because the writing of them was
always deferred until the next day.
"No man," he raid, "except the press cor
respondents, who brave all dangers, can al
ways have paper and pencil at hand whllo a
battle Is In progress, and as a consequence
thero Is a failure to record many occur
rences that should be recorded."
Hero followed an examination of the
various signals from Massachusetts on the.
day .of the bombardment, which tho admiral
verified. At the same time ho- remarked
that he thought thero wero other signals
unrecorded.
Admiral Schley said bo had ordered the
range at 7,000 yards for that day, but he
had not supposed Colon was eo far up the
harbor. "Of course," ho said, "1 left the
measurement of the range to tho executive
officer."
"Does your letter to- tho scnato February
18, 1809, plead tho precautionary order of
the department for not destroying the
Colon?"-
"I should rather think that Is tho Infer
ence."
Tho admiral then, at tho request of the
Judgo advocate, read what ho wrote to tho
senate. Tbe letter contained the precau
tionary order of the department at the
opening He again explained, as he had
done before, that when he wrote his com
munication to the senate he did not have
all records beforo him. He omitted to
mention In that communication, ha said,
Admiral Sampson's caution at Key West.
Ho had prepared it largely from memory.
In further support of his position the ad
miral rend the department's instruction of
July 13, specifically warning tho com
mander-in-chief against risking armored
vessels, to the flro of land batteries. He
was cross-queatloncd closely ns to all the
orders bearing upon this subject. He said
he had never seon, until he saw them In
the report, the orders of April 6 and April
23, modifying to some extent tbo original
order. But he had been advised of their
purport.
Purpoae of Ilombnrdment.
"In your report of Juno 1 to tho depart
ment concerning tho reconnaissance you did
not mention any purpose to sink or destroy
Colon?"
"I did not."
"But In your telegraphic report you did
say that your purpose was to destroy
Colon?"
"Incidentally, yes."
Tho Judge advocate then asked the ad
miral to tell oxactly what his purpose was
on that occasion and what Instructions he
had given. Replying that he had testified
fully on this subject before, he then said
that tho signals made Indicate tho purpose.
The signals instructed the ships to use
their heavy guns against Colon. New Or
leans, with Its lighter battery, was di
rected to flro at the shore batteries. Tho
Instruction was to go In to 7,000 yards and
ho thought until several days afterward
that the ships had gono tn to that distance.
"I directed the shlpa to follow, the flag, lo
operate against Colon and fire at the forts
to develop them and I think tho reconnols-
sance, so far as It went, waa eminently suc
cessful. The batteries were developed and
the fact was demonstrated that tho enemy
was In port. With a squadron of only Av
or six ships. I believed that only the
strongest military necessity would have
Justified me In risking tho loss of a vessel
that might have reduced our squadron to a
number less than that of the enemy. If
two of our ships had been crippled the
cnomy might have come out and bagged ub
with disastrous results. Tho development
of tbe facts ns to the batteries and ships
was, In my opinion, sufficient. The encmys
ships could not get away."
"Why did you not steam nore slowly
ns you passed tho mouth of the harbor?"
The witness replied in a deliberate man
ner: "Well, that is a technical error that
might havo been remedied If someone else
had been In command. Possibly the firing
would have been more effective If we
had gone In closer, but If we had and had
steamed more slowly there would have been
no gain, as the range would have been nar
rower. It was a case of tweedle-dee on the
one hand and tweedle-dum on tbe other.
Paaaea to the Battle.
Captain Leroly at this point passed on
to the battle of July 3, stopping to ask one
or two Incidental questions about the cir
cumstances of tho evening of July 2.
On July 2, when the suspicious move
ments were seen tn the harbor of Santiago
the witness said he talked wlth Captain
Cook about the advisability of coupling up
the engines. It .was decided not to do so.
He supposed the ship was always ready for
a sortie.
Admiral Schley's attention was called to
Captain Cook's testimony that on the
night of July 2 he turned tn with no Inti
mation that the fleet would come out. The
witness .said that Captain Cook's state
ment was not in any sense Inconsistent
with his. Ho had no Intimation that the
fleet would come out.
The cross-examination of Admiral Schley
on tbe bPttle of Santiago began with a
question as to what the first movement of
Brooklyn's holm was after the enemy's
ships were sighted coming out.
"Wo wire heading west by north," ho
replied. The first helm to port.
wapioin iook gave mu uiucr iui iuo
turn?"
"Yes."
"You regard that turn as very Impor
tant, ,do you not?"
"I think It was tho movemont that de
cided the events of that day."
The admiral said In response to ques
Hons that ho had not mentioned the loop
In his report of tbe battle. It was an In
cident of the battle which he had no Idea
ever would come Into controversy. Cap
tain Cook had given tbe order without or
ders from him except undor his general
Instruction to close In and keep some
where about 1.000 yards away outside of
tha broadside torpedo range. When the
time camo tor the turn Captain Cook's
conception of tbe movement coincided with
his own. Although Captain Cook gave the
order, ho would have done so In a moment
bad tho captain of Brooklyn failed to do
so.
"Do you assume full responsibility for
tbe turn?"
"Absolutely, If I did not give the order,
I approved It," replied the admiral,
Una Let Othera Talk.
Asked where he bod, beforo the beginning
of this Inquiry, mentioned that he had dur
ing the battle given tho signal "fojlov? the
fins." Admiral Schley replied: "I think I
have kept my mouth pretty close on nil
these subjects and do not recall speaking
of this Incident. I distinctly recollect giv
ing tho signal and that It was flying for
twenty minutes,"
"Did Brooklyn stand in and attempt to
slnk'the Spanish fleet In the channel?"
"I started In at first to help the other
vessels and to have them help mc. I felt
If we could stop the Spaniards the battle
ships could go In and sink thorn. I never
had any Idea that they would get away."
Captain Limly Introduced tho following
paragraph from Admiral Schley's report of
the battle, dated Guanlanamo, July 6, 199S!
Since reaching this place Hnd holding con
versation with several persons, viz., Cap
tain Kiilate of Vlscayn and tho second In
command of Colon, rnmmnnder rontrprAB.
I have le.imed that the Spanish admiral's
ncneme waa io concentrate hii lire ror
awhile on Ilruoklyn and Vlscayn to rnm It.
In hopes that If they could destroy It the
chance of escape would be Increased, ns It
was supposed It waa the swiftest ship of
your squadron. This explains the heavy
flro mentioned nnd Vlscaya's action in the
earlier movements1 of the engagement.
The execution of this purpose was promptly
defeated by the fact that all of the ships
of the squadron ndvnnced Into close range
and opened nn Irresistibly furious nnd ter
rific fire upon the enemy's squadron as It
was coming out of the harbor.
Admiral Schley Identified this paragraph
as a part of his report.
The witness said that before the helm of
Brooklyn was swung bard aport In order to
mane tne loop, tho holm was put alter
nately to port and to starboard In order to
meet the movements of the enemy's shlpi.
C'ervern'a I'ourae llnrd to flneaa.
"It was difficult," he said, "at that time
to say whether they meant to go between
Texas and Brooklyn or the other way."
"You stated In your examination In chief,
I believe, that on making the turn you did
not see the stnrboard of Texas?"
"I did say so, absolutely," replied tbo
witness.
Tho Judgo advocate then took up Ad
miral Schley's report of tho battle mado to
the dopartmont relating to Guantannmo bay
May 6, 1S98, nnd ho was questioned con
cerning the statements made therein, at
tention being called to tho statement that
after Vlscaya had struck Its colors the sig
nal was made to cease firing, nnd then the
following sentenco: "Oregon having proved
vastly faster than tho other battleships, It
and Brooklyn, together with Texas and
nnothcr vessel (which proved to bo your
flagship), continued westward in pursuit of
Colon, which had run close In shoro, cvl-.
dently seeking somo good spot to beach If
It should fall to elude Its pursuers."
"You wrote thnt?" asked Captain Lbmly.
"Yes," replied Admlrnl Schley. "And I
can oxplaln tho whole thing If you will
permit mo to use a preliminary report that
waa returned."
Captain Lemly I have no objection to
your preliminary roport unless It comos
under tho rule that It was not sent.
Schley It was sent and was returned,
Captain Lemly I think I havo a right
to continue and not have them Insert other
evidence nt this time.
Rayner I differ with you on that. I
think when n witness Is asked a question
Admiral Dewey The Information con
tained In that report which was not sent
can bo drawn out In somo other way. The
court has ruled It out becauso It wns not
sent, A good, many questions havo been
asked. You might ask some more.
Rayner It Is not quite thrco days, yet;
he Is Just beginning.
Rayner I want to read this report.
Admiral Dewey Tho court has decided
that It had better be drawn out In some
other way. Wo havo ruled out nil papers
not sent.
Rayner This was sent. This Is not tho
report that wns sent to the telegraph office.
Admlrnl Dowey Oh, I beg your pardon.
At this point the hour of 1 o'clock hav
ing arrived tho court took a recess for
luncheon.
After recess Captain Lemly laid beforo
the court Admiral Schley's press copybook
containing a copy of his letter embracing
his first rcportf,to Admiral Sampson of tho
battle off Santiago which had been returned
and there wns more contention between
counsel as to, tftj admissibility of the docu
ment as otideTRfi. Tho decision of the
court wob to (ho effect that the roport
could not bo read aloud and whb an
nounced by Admlrnl Dowey ns follows:
"Tho court holds that thero Is no ob
jection to tho witness refreshing his mem
ory from the letter, but that he cannot read
It aloud. It Is ruled out on tho same prin
ciple as that applied to Admiral Schley's
telegram which was not sont."
Letter Sent nnd Iteturned.
"Thcro Is this difference," said Mr. Ray
ner, "that while tho telegram was nevor
sent the letter was sent and returned."
Captain Lemly How do you ltjiow that?
Mr. Rayner It Is what we want to prove.
Captain Lemly Tho mark on Its faoe
shows that It was not sent.
Mr. Rayner Wo p'ropose to show that
that was nn error. Thnt marking was
dono by Admiral Schley's flag lieutenant.
Admiral Dewey The letter has tho same
standing as the telegram. We don't know
why it was marked ns "not sent" except
that It was so marked.
Mr. Rayner to Admiral Schley Who made
tbe mark?
Admiral Schley My sccreiary. after I bad
returned from the flagship New York.
After somo further sparring by counsel
Admiral Schley replied that tho original
preliminary report of .the. battle he took
to the commandcr-ln-chlef and then re
turned to Brooklyn.
"Admiral Sampson then again signaled
for me to come on board," he said, "and ha
handed the report back to me. There was
nobody but himself and myself In the
cabin at that time and from the conversa
tion I had with him, I was led to believe" .
Captain Lemly We want the conven
tion. Tho admiral then recounted his conversa
tion with Admiral Sampson, whom he said
handed tho letter back to him with tho
statement that ho (Sampson) wns commander-in-chief
and that he (Schley) had
omitted a very Important detail In the re.
port In that It failed to show tho presence
of New York.
"I felt at that tlftie," Admiral Schley
went on, "that tho victory was big enough
for all and I mado this (his report of the
battlo that has been published) out of
genoroslty and because I knew that If Now
York had been present It would havo done
as good work as any other vessel."
No Colloquy 'villi llod(ann.
The admiral wns asked whnt conversation
he had had with Lieutenant Commander
Hodgson on Brooklyn Just before tbe loop
wns made. He said he could not recall a
single word of conversation with Lieutenant
Hodgson beyond tho Iattcr's remark
that the enemy were coming for them and
his response to go for them except some
remark about tho proximity of Toxan. Ho
did not now recall and he never had been
able to recall a colloquy.
"Did you gtvo out for publication Lieu
tonant Hodgson's categorical denial?"
"I did."
"Did you give out tho accompanying let
ter of explanation?"
"I did not."
The witness stated that he would still
say that he bad desired to set Hodgson
right a well as himself, but ho had done
nothing In that direction because the de-
partment ordered nn Investigation.
When the Spanish licet enmc out of tho
harbor, being on deck and fully aware of
Brooklyn's maneuvor, being senior officer,
do you consider that full responsibility
for thnt maneuver rests upon you?"
"Absolutely, because even If 1 did not
give It directly I approved what tho cap
tain did."
"Was any order I atsume It would have
been by signal If given at all given from
Brooklyn with regard to the direction In
which the other vessels of the fleet should
turn In order to secure uniformity?"
"They hnd mado their turn and It was to
avoid getting Into their crossfire, that
Brooklyn's was made."
"And that was tbe p'irpose of the loop?"

"It was one of the reasons for It. It was
to avoid that at a crucial or critical tlmo
of tho battle when tho lire of tho battlo-
ships was so absolutely Important. Tho
movement, of course, had two purposes,
first, to avoid that, and second, to continue
tho action. New York being entirely
absent, Brooklyn that day had to take n
very Important lead, and If wo had sacri
ficed It we might havo lost tho battlo."
"What Indication did you glvo to tho other
vessels of the fleet to show tho direction In
which Brooklyn was going to turn or was
turning?"
"I did not make any, becauso I did not
think wo were In danger of proximity to
any, but tifter wo turned signal waB mado

Captain Lemly said: "I havo no further
questions."
He turned to Mr. Rayner, who said: "We

"Tho court has a few," said Admiral
Dewey.
At tho conclusion of tho cross-examina
tion there was placed In evidence the telo-
grara sent by Admiral Schley to the depart

did not desire to assume entire credit for
the. victory of July 3 aud that the victory
belonged to tbe fleet under the command
of Admiral Sampsou. In reply to a ques
tion from Captain Parker he said ha had

"I, of course."
Tho first of the court questions referred
to tho blockado of Clcnfuegos and was ns
follows:
"While off Cienfuegos could you see tbo
shore to westward so distinctly as to form

affirmative and In reply to the next ques

ing boats op shoro with whom be could have
communicated.

ONE RED HAT FOR AMERICA
While There May lie Addition to noil
of Carillnnla, None Will Be
(, from United Htntea,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. Unofficial ad
vices Just received from Homo confirm tho
understanding that no papal consistory at
Rome will be hold beforo next February.
In view nf this fact Cardinal Martlnelll, J
the papol delegato, will leave tnis country
Just before the consistory, which, In con
nection with Us other work, will confer the
red hat upon him.
While thcro may bo some additions to
the roll or cardinals, It Is certain that
none of these will be from the United
States. Tho full roll of cardinals Is fixed
nl nnvfntv iinri (hp nnntlflcnl ripfilrn lx In
have as many of them as possible near
Rome. Tho real reason for avoiding tho
naming of another cardinal for this country
during Cardinal Gibbons' lifetime Is to
avoid setting a precedent for two cardinals
within the United States.
There Is moro than one, however, in
countries where there Is a concord botweon
the government and the church. There Is
no Indication yet as to who will be Cardinal
MarttnelU's successor. Even the gossip at
Romo that Mgr. Falcon), now nuncio at
Ottawa, would be chosen has, at least for
the present, subsided. I( Is significant In
this connection that tho selection of both
Cardinals Satolll and Martlnelll was prac
tically a complete surprise to those who had
been figuring pon the vacancies to which
they were chosen. .

LONDON, Oct. 31. "Tho papal consistory
that was to havo been held In November
has been postponed to next spring," says
tho Rome correspondent of the Dally
Chronicle.
"Consequently Cardinal Martlnelll will
continuo to reside in Washington for a
time. It Is officially announced that the
Most Rev, Dlmonede Kalconl, apostolic
delegate to the Dominion of Canada, will
succeed Cardinal Martlnelll."
