The water was whipped up in all directions; shots flew overhead. 1 think it was the most exciting time or the whole engagement. "Just at that time it was reported that the torpedo boats were coming out. I saw two of them coming out of the entrance to the harbor and steam close along tho shore. One would seem to run a little ahead ot the other and the other would catch up.

The Rev. JameB Woods, pastor of Holy Cross Church in Flatbush, is about to procure for the young men ot his parish one of the finest club houses in the diocese. The large brick building adjoining the church, which has been recently superseded by the handsome new school building, is to be renovated and fitted up as a first class club. The building is large and exactly adapted for this purpose. It will be fitted up with handsome furniture, pictures, and planned in accordance with the best club house models.

There will be billiard rooms, reading rooms, a gymnasium, bowling alleys, etc. The young men's society of Holy Cross parish is one of the best organized in the borough, and has always taken a prominent part in young men's Catholic conventions.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAV0RERS. Sixteenth Annual Convention of the New York State TJnion Interesting Proceedings. (Special to the Eagle.) Syracuse, N. October 23 The sixteenth annual convention of the New York State Christian Endeavor Union is now in session at Syracuse. The convention opened Monday night with addresses by Drs.

John H. Elliott and J. Wilbur Chapman of New York. This meeting was held in the First Baptist Church, while all the other sessions of the convention proper will be held in Alhambra Hall. Owing to Dr.

Chapman being obliged to return to New York late Monday night, the Rev. Edwin Forrest Hallenbeck of Albany, vice president of the state organization of Christian Endeavor, conducted the quiet hour service which had been assigned to Dr. Chapman. The first meeting of the convention proper was called to order yesterday by President Wallace after a song, service led by Professor Jacobs. The speaker of the morning was the Rev.

Dr. R. A. Torrey of Chicago, superintendent of the "Bible Institute organized by the late Mr. Moody.

Dr. Torrey chose as his Bible study address the gospel of St. John, the particular theme being "The Holy Spirit." The reports of the various committees showed that the correspondence committee had written 1,737 letters, that the good citizenship committee had advanced several measures In the Legislature, that the prison committee had distributed among the several state prisons over 40,000 pieces of reading matter. The report of the committee on missions showed a range of 70 cents to $1, 000.72 as the contributions of the societies of the state in behalf of the cause of Christian missions. Secretary Kinport reported a membership of over 187,000 in the societies of the state.

A new departure from the general programme of other conventions was the holding of open air meetings. The leaders of these were Drs. John H. Elliott, R. A.

Torrey and C. E. Eberman, the new field secretary of the United Society. The afternoon conferences were under the leadership of the Rev. Dr.

R. A. Torrey on H. F. Remington.

the Rev. J. Foster Wilcox, "Missionary," and Thomas R. Jordan, "Social." Dr. Torrey conducted the afternoon Bible study.

The Rev. Courtney H. Fenn gave a graphic account of the siege of Peking. The Rev. Dr.

Wilton Merle Smith of Manhattan prefaced his remarks by a sketch of what Mr. Fenn had done during the attack on Peking and showed that while he held a minor, or rather retired, position, his work was so faithfully performed that the health of all was first class and there was not a single death from unsanitary conditions. The addresses of the evening session were delivered by the Rev. Dr. John Balcom Shaw of Manhattan and the Rev.

Cornelius Woelfkin of Brooklyn. The Brooklyn delegation numbers between 40 and 50. President Dickhaut of the Brooklyn Union is in attendance with the delegates. ARMITAGE'S FRIENDS RELEASED. Man and Two Women Who Restored Part of the Stolen Amsterdam Bank Punds Discharged.

Two women and a man who gave themselves up to Captain Titus of the Central office last night and handed over $4S5 ot the funds stolen by George Armitage, the defaulting New Amsterdam Bank messenger, were arraigned before Magistrate Crane in the Center street court this morning and were discharged. The prisoners were Marie Forrest Seymour Kahn, the piano player in the Standard Hotel on Jerome avenue, and Leona Kahn, his reputed wife. The three told Captain Titus that Armitage had giveu the two women $500 saying that it was part of a legacy that he had received and that he wanted them to have a good time with it. They said they didn't know it was stolen and that when they ascertained this through the newspapers they hastened to return $48S. having used $15 of it.

Armitage was brought over to the court from the Tombs, but took no part in the proceedings, and held no conversation with the prisoners. Assistant District Attorney Shortridge and J. F. Yawger, representing the United States Guaranty Company, were in court. The magistrate said that as there was no complaint against the prisoners, he should discharge them.

Mr. Shortridge asked that the prisoners be held for twenty four hours to give the bank a chance to make a charge of receiving stolen goods if the officials wished to do so. Mr. Yawger joined in the request. Magistrate Crane said there was no charge of that character to be made according, to the story told by the prisoners.

Mr. Yawger said that the story was not true, but that Armitage had told the women that the money was stolen. Magistrate Crane replied that it was highly improbable that Armitage had told them anything of the kind. He said he thought the bank would render itself liable to damages if it did make such a charge. As Lawyer Yawger would not take the responsibility of making the charge the prisoners were discharged.

Lawyer Abe Levy, who appeared for the prisoners, said he would produce them at any time that they were wanted in connection with the prosecution against Armitage. SETTLED OUT OP COURT. The suit brought by William J. Moody of 2:4 Fifty eighth street, against the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company to recover S.iO.OOO for injuries caused by his being swept from the elevated structure, near the Bridge street station, on October 21, on trial yesterday before Justice Burr Mattlce and a jury, was discontinued this morning as it was announced that the case had been settled out of court. This is the second suit of the kind that has been settled by the parties since the fall jury trials have been begun.

The excellent protection against fire which the thirty families who live in Alfred T. White's model tenements have, was shown yesterday afternoon when a fire started in the big Riverside building. There was every indication when the fire was first discovered that it was to be a big one and much damage result. But owing to the fireproof construction of the building the flames did not cause a loss of more than Had the building been of the old style construction the firemen would have had a pretty tough fight, if Indeed they could have saved it from total destruction. The fire started in the cellar under the meat market of Justus Voehl, which occupies that part ot the building known as 8 Columbia place.

The fire had apparently been burning for some minutes before an alarm was turned in. A second alarm soon followed the first. A conflagration was feared. After the Are was under control it was plainly evident that the fireproof construction had prevented a rapid spread of the flames. MR.

It is an interesting souvenir. SHE INCREASED THE BILL. Woman Allowed $3 by the Court Used an Umbrella on Her Husband. "The judge ordered him to pay me $3, but I will make his bill double that amount," angrily cried a woman with a baby in her arms, as she left the Butler street court this morning. A few minutes later the woman began to belabor a young man over the head with an umbrella she carried.

She reigned blow after blow over his head and soon wrecked his derby hat. As the hat fell to the sidewalk another woman, who had been in the company of the young woman, ran up to the spot where the hat had fallen and danced on the remnants as she cried, "Serves him right, serves him right." The man, who had by this time made his escape from the woman with the umbrella, ran bareheaded down Court street. When he had placed a half dozen blocks between him and the angry woman he entered a hat store. When he emerged he wore a new hat. When calm again settled around the court building the woman who had created the excitement said she was Mrs.

Rose Gallo, 402 Baltic street, and the man whom she had attacked was her husband, James, whom she had taken to court on a charge of non support. "The judge ordered him to pay me 53 aud I increased the bill, that's all." exclaimed the woman. ADVISED PAYMENT. Judge Thomas of the United States District Court yesterday decided that the evidence in the case of James McCallister against the South Pacific Company is valid and advised that the amount of the damages to be granted be fixed by a commissioner. The damages asked are $1,161.

DISPLAY OP PLOWERS. Mr. Brower Says the Park Chrysanthemums Will Be Especially Pine. Park Commissioner George V. Baumer declared to day that during the month of November there would be a finer display of chrysanthemums in the conservatories in Prospect Park than in several years.

The chrysanthemums numbeT thousands at present, but few of the plants are yet in blossom. Indications are. however, that the yield of flowers will be great. Visitors will be allowed to inspect the chrysanthemums on Sunday next. The new palm house and the recently completed ct.cti house will also be opened to the public on Sunday.

It is intended by Commissioner Brower to change the display of flowers in the Prospect Park conservatories weekly throughout the fall, affording pleasure to thousands of flower lovers throughout the dreary and dismal November days. A SCIENTIFIC BREAKFAST. Rightly selected food will cure more than half the diseases. Try a scientific aud healthy breakfast: Fruit of some kind, preferably cooked; a dish of Grape Nuts, with cream; tvyo soft boiled eggs, rut two eggs in a tin pint cup of boiling water, cover and sot off for nine minutes. Whites will then be the consistency of cream and most easily digested.

One slice of bread with butter; cup of Postum Cereal Food Coffee. On that breakfast you can work like a horse and be perfectly nourished until noon. Your nervous troubles, heart palpitation, stomach and bowel troubles, kidney coniplniuts and various other disorders will gradually disappear and firm solid health will set in. Why? Yon have probably been living on poorly selected food, that is food that does not contain tile required elements the body needs. That sort of food, and coffee, is tho direct or indirect cause of more than half the ills the human body acquires.

I (Jnipr Nuts is a perfectly cooked food and both that and the Postum Pood Cof fee contain fine microscopic particles of phosphate of'potn'sh obtained in a natural i way from the grains of the field and by scientific food experts incorporated into food and drink. That element joins with the albumen in food to make graj matter, which is the filling of the brain cells and the nerve centers all over the human body. A man or woman thus fed is scientifically fed aud rapidly grows iu vigor and vitality, and becomes capable of conducting successfully the affairs of life. To produce a perfect body and a. money milking brain, the body must li.nve the right kind of food and the expert food 'specialist knows how to niitlce it.

Th two prisoners, who are lads, are alleged te'll have tried to get Chisholm $400 away fron: him.

Wataou of Brooklyn, X. MS I Statement That All M. T. H. S.

Instructors Had Consented Refuted by Mr. Larkin. ASSOCIATION TO TAKE ACTION. If There Is a Test Case on Davis Xaw Clause It Will Be Tried in Manhattan. That the school teachers in Brooklyn are a unit on the proposition to sue the city for salaries claimed to be due under the Davis law from January 1, 1900, when the law says the salaries shall begin, to May 3 of that year, when the law itself began, may be said to be far from the fact, as the following communication from Principal Larkins of the Manual Training High School would Indicate: Brooklyn.

October 23, 1901. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: In your issue of last evening, under heading "More Teachers' Suits for Pay Said to Be Due," I find the following: "Lawyers John C. Judge and Frank W. Holmes have solicited a number of teachers to place their claims for salary from January 1, 1901, to May 3, into their hands for collection. These lawyers have, they claim, the consents of all the teachers in the Manual Training High School." They have not the consent, the approval, or the sympathy of the principal, who is, yours truly, CHARLES D.

LARKINS. Nor is Mr. Larkins the only teacher in the system who does not indorse the proposition to sue under this retroactive clause of the Davis law. The question has been a mooted one since the law was signed on May 3, 1900, and it has been the hope of some of the members of the Board of Education in Manhattan that a test of the constitutionality of the clause would be made by Brooklyn teachers, thus throwing upon them the charge of "litigious and contentious," which they have used on former occasions, should the claim be decided invalid. There arc other teachers, too, who believe that, should the courts decide that the retroactive clause is unconstitutional, then the same decision would follow on the question ot" the constitutionality of the Davis bill as a whole, on the principle that, if a portion of the law is unconstitutional, then the whole must be.

But the Brooklyn Teachers' Association will discuss this question next Monday, and their action will doubtless be followed by all the several teachers' organizations jn tl'j city. It is also proposed that should it be determined to test the question in court that the single case which will be agreed upon between the teachers and the Board of Education shall be begun in Manhattan, thuB, while all the teachers in the city will be equally interested in the outcome, the largest borough will for once take the initiative. Frank W. Holmes of 375 Fulton street, who has become interested as attorney in the claims by the teachers for salaries under the retroactive clause of the Davis law, made the following statement this afternoon: "The teachers either have or will receive from Dr. Felter a letter in which he states that he would like to have the Davis law tested by a 'friendly' suit brought by the Teachers' Association, to be paid for out of the funds of that association.

I would like to ask Dr. Felter when such an action has ever been brought by the Teachers' Association or paid for out of the funds of the association. "The first action in which the teachers recovered money from the City of New York was brought by Ira Leo Bamberger and he was paid by the teachers ten per cent, of the amounts recovered; the second action in which the teachers recovered was brought by the Teachers' Association with Edward M. Shepard as counsel. This might be called, by Dr.

Felter. a friendly action, but it was not paid for out of the funds of. the Teachers' Association; there was a tax of one per cent, of one month's salary levied upon every teacher In the system, whether a member of the Teachers' Association or not. The third action, now pending, an action in which Dr. Felter and Dr.

Gunnison are the prime movers, is to recover an imaginary claim and the teachers interested are expected to pay twenty five per cent, of the amount recovered. "It appeared in yesterday's Eagle that the attorneys for the teachers who are now seeking to recover their back salaries under tbo Davis law were soliciting claims by which they expected to rob the teachers of many thousand dollars. The movement on the part of the Manual Training High School and the other schools who have filed their claims with these attorneys is friendly and voluntary, and the teachers have discovered, after waiting eighteen months, that the so called executive heads of the Teachers' Associa tion have never made any movement and that the movement now taken by Mr. Judge and myself to point out to the teachers their rights is in friendship to the teachers. "If these rights existed for eighteen months and were known by Mr.

Felter, as lie confesses in his letter of yesterday, we desire to know why the Teachers' Association has not taken some action to Tecover upon these claims. "I challenge Mr. Felter's good faith in this matter. Neither he nor his organization has made any effort to collect thFs money for the teachers, and it was not until he. learned from his friend.

Mr. Gunnison, of the action begun by Mr. Judge and myself that he issued this letter to the teachers. "The individual teachers and the schools which we represent know their rights and intend to take advantage of them. They will not allow themselves to he misled by any letter written by Mr.

Felter in his capacity as president of the Teachers' Association. "The undersigned hardly thinks that Dr. Felter is the man to manipulate consistently the word He would like to style himself the sole judge as to who is and who is not 'competent' to represent the teachers in this matter. 'Competent' might bo applied to the principals of high schools with degrees of doubtful validity as well a3 to attorneys at law." CONTINUES AN INJUNCTION. Justice W.

D. Dickey in Supreme Court special term to day continued an injunction against Samuel and Dora Elkin. newspaper dealers, restraining them from continuing newspaper sales at Flatbush avenue and Avenue as the plaintiffs. Joseph and Hy man Cohen, claim that this territory was covered in a sale of the good will, hy defendants to plaintiffs for $1,325 on July 31, last. It seems that a son of the defendants carried on the business at Flatbush avenue and Avenue I and Justice Dickey said that he thought that the boy had done this subject to his parents' orders.

The boy "should not peach on the preserves of the plaintiffs," was the way Justice Dickey expressed it. Charles Bienenfield appeared for the plaintiffs and Isaac Appel for the defendants. THE SWANSTROM CLUB. The Scandinavians of this borough hold a meeting last night, under the auspices of the organization, known as the Swanstrom Club. Several of the spellbinders of the organization were present and made speaches.

The compaign committee reported that the club now has nearly 1,000 pledged voters on Its rolls, and it is expected that this sum will be doubled befcre Election Day. It was decided to hold a mass meeting next Tuesday, at Lyric Hall, and to Invite J. Edward Swanstrom to be present." Andrew Ericson submitted a resolution indorsing Swanstrom's candidacy and it was passed unanimously. All the prominent Scandinavians In Brooklyn have now pledged to work for Swanstrom's election. VOLUNTARY BANKRUPT.

Fred Spohr of S2 Schaeffer street filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy this morning with the clerk of the United States District Court. Of the liabilities, amounting to is secured claims and 52,187 is unsecured. "As I could not get my guns to bear on the heavy ships of the enemy, I thought I would try a shot at the torpedo boats. I took my time about it. waited until those boats were lapping and estimated the range as 2.200 yards from the torpedo boats.

I fired a 13 inch gun and when the smoke cleared away I saw one of those boats blow up. I do not claim it was done by my shot. There were several others firing at ttiat time. It is a wonder to me they were not blown up sexier." At this point the witness varied from his narrative to criticise the navigators' chart, saying that it showed the position of the Oregon at that time to be four miles to the westward of where she actually was. The witness then described the burning of tha Maria Teresa and the Oquendo.

saying that the Teresa which was Admiral Cervera's flagship was such a mass of flames that it seemed impossible for any one to live on her. He considered it a waste of ammunition, he said, to fire at the vessel. The witness said that when the suggestions were first made to Captain Clark that the 13 inch guns should be fired at the Colon he demurred to an extent, saying that he thought the range was too great. The witness replied that the guns could be fired at a range of 13,000 yards without damaging the mounts and he told how afterward they had been fired, first at a distance of 8.000 yards, which had been increased first to 8,500 and then to 0,000. and still later to 9,500.

When the range was fixed at 9.500 Lieutenant Ackerman said he observed that the shot passed over the fleeing Colon, but it fell so close to her quarter that he felt sure it struck her. "I had," he said, "taken my long glass aloft with me and I searched the side of the Colon for injuries and saw none, but certainly discovered that her flag was gone and came to the conclusion that a fragment of the shell had carried away the halyards. The quarter deck of the Colon was deserted and all the casemate doors and ports were closed." Here the court took its usual noon recess. When the court reconvened, after luncheon. Lieutenant Ackerman continued his narrative, saying that when the Colon's flag went down the men on the Oregon ceased firing.

The Brooklyn bore at that time two points on the Oregon's port bow and was about a mile distant, the witness said. YOUNG BOY'S HEAD CRUSHED. Benjamin Murray Badly Hurt in a Scramble for Campaign. Buttons. During a scramble last night among a crowd of boys In front of the headquarters ot the Fifth Assembly District Republicans, where a meeting was in progrejs, Benjamin Murray, 14 years old, of 288 South Third street, received injuries which may permanently impair hi3 health.

The boy is confined in the Eastern District Hospital with concussion of the brain and a probable fracture at the base of the skull. The physicians in attendance fear that he also sustained injury to his spine, which may have the result of Injuring his health. Conflicting stories are told as to how the boy sustained his injuries, and on account ot this, William Dickson, J2 years old, of 344 Grand street, was arresft 1 early this morning by Detectives Maxflfcn and Gorsuch of the Lee avenue station on suspicion that he had struck young Murray with a club. The injured boy, in company with others, was attracted to the Bedford avenue headquarters on account a meeting in progress there. Some one of the workers had some Seth Low campaign buttons, and amused the, crowd and pleased the boys by tossing a nanarui among tnem ana watching the scramble for their possession.

It was during one of the struggles that, after the boys separated, young Mun ay was found insensible on the sidewalk. He was bleeding freely from a wound in the back of his head. After being conveyed to a nearby store he was hurried to the hospital. This morning young Dickson was arraigned before Magistrate Higginbotham, in the Lee avenue court, and was released in custody of his mother pending further examination. At noon to day it was stated at the hospital that young Murray would probably be able, on account of the improvement he had shown, to leave the institution to morrow.

Write Long: Island Bottling 280 284 Bergen Brooklyn, N. Y. FIVE MEN PUT UNDER ARREST. All Except Private Brown Reinstated After Making an Explanation Court Martial for Brown. As an aftermath to the resignation of Second Lieutenant William Macauley of Company Fourteenth Regiment.

Captain G. T. Bruckmann, commanding Company had some trouble with his command by reason of an attempted revolt upon the part of some of tho members ot the company when the bugle called the men to drill in the Fourteenth Regiment Armory last night. Prompt action on the part of Captain Bruckmann and the success of the efforts of the better element in the ranks to promote harmony caused a failure of the elaborate plan, engineered by friends of the former second lieutenant, with the object of breaking up the company and fostering trouble in untold quantities for the commanding officer. The members of Company save five who were placed under arrest by Captain Bruckmann, again swore allegiance to him and to the State of New York and later four of the recalcitrant guardsmen apologized saying they labored under a delusion and desired to swear allegiance as their comrades had.

They were allowed to do so. Only one man, Private F. D. Brown, still remains under arrest, charged by Captain Bruckmann with having violated his oath as a soldier of the National Guard of this state. He will be tried by regimental court martial and if found guilty of the charge will be dishonorably discharged.

The trouble which was brewing in Company of the Fourteenth Regiment last night was, it is claimed, fostered by Second Lieutenant William Macauley, who handed in his resignation on Monday evening upon the request of both Colonel A. L. Kline, commanding officer of the Fourteenth Regiment, and Captain G. T. Bruckmann ot Company E.

Lieutenant Macauley has, it is declared, long cherished a grudge against Captain Bruckmann because of his refusal to sanction his nomination as first lieutenant of Company E. a position long vacant. Not so long since Lieutenant Macauley got some of the men in Company to petition Captain Bruckmann for his appointment, but before the petition was presented Captain Bruckmann learned of the intention of the committee and informed it that under no circumstances would he stand for the election of Lieutenant Macauley to the first lieutenantcy of the command. The plot to harass and embarrass Captain Bruckmann was laid just before Second Lieutenant Macauley tendered his resignation. Before the bugle sounded last night the men of Crmpany gathered in groups about the company room declaring that they would not go out upon the floor to drill as usual.

Appeal's were made to them by the best men in the company not to forget their oaths as soldiers and after much insistence the men got into their uniforms, eome of which had been discarded, assembled at tho call of the bugle for formation end Company was formed on the drill floor. Then the com mand was marched off of the drill floor and into the company room, where Captain G. T. Bruckmann addressed the men, explaining the duties of a soldier and drawing attention to the fact ihat every man had sworn allegiance to the Urited States and the State of New York and had also sworn to faithfully perform the duties of a soldier in the National Guard, according to the laws and regulations governing the same. This duty of the soldiers was carefully explained to each member cf the company by Captain Bruckmann and the cardinal points of the duties, attention and obedience were pointed out.

Captain Bruckmann then asked all those men who had heard of, seen or signed a petition to step two paces to the front. There was no response. Private F. D. Brown was then asltad by Captain Bruckmann to step to the front.

He did so and after explaining that he had evidence to prove that he hid violated his oath to the State of New York on more occasions than one. Captain Bruckmann placed him under arrest. Then, addressing the assembled company, Captain Bruckmann asked all the men to swear allegiance to the captain of Company as its commanding offlcer, by raising the right hand. All of the men responded with the exception of four who were also placed under arrest. These were Privates Vanderbeck, Bennett, Kelly and Anderson.

These four men later made satisfactory explanations to Captain Bruckmann as to why they had refused to support him, saying that they had misunderstood the question when put by him and that they did not desire to do anything that was prejudicial to discipline and good order. Upon taking the same oath as their comrades had taken the four privates were returned to the ranks. Taken out again upon the drill floor of the armory Company went through the prescribed drill as usual. Private F. D.

Brown, who was placed under arrest last night by Captain Bruckmann for violating his oath as a National Guardsman. Is to he dishonorably discharged, having been already stripped of his uniform. Private Brown has been under arrest before, the previous occasion being the night ot the inspection of the Fourteenth Regiment last year, his offense at that time being insubordination. Now he wftl be tried by court martial and undoubtedly given a dishonorable discharge. PIKES IN BROOKLYN AND QUEENS.

She was. he said, from one quarter to one half a mile Inshore. He also said that at the time the Viscaya turned in the Colon was 6.000 yards ahead. Later in the chase of ihe Colon, he said, that Captain Cook had put his head out of the conning tower and said to the commodore: Schley Said He "Would Follow the Colon to Spain if Necessary. "Don't you think we had better close in a little." snd said the witness parenthetically, "I thought so myself." But continuing, he said: "The Commodore replied.

'No: don't you see that point ahead? Just as soon as that fellow starts to come out I'm goiag to head him off. I'll get him yet. Damn him, I'll follow him to Spain it I have Tbi. i testimony v.as given in clear tones and was heard distinctly throughout the large court room. Like a previous statement ii was received with a burst applause, but the demonstration was quickly suppressed by Admiral Dewey, whose words of reprobation to the audience were followed by a word of admonition from Mr.

Rayner to the witness. Schley Deprecates Demonstration. The Admiral rose and raised his hands in deprecation of the demonstration. face was flushed and he said: "Stop: stop! Let's have none of that." "Give us the facts, simply." said Mr. Rayner.

"These are the facts," replied the witness. Taking the witness, Captain Leinly cross examined him about all the points covered bv his testimony. In response to one of his questions Mr. Hill said that he had not heard any conversation between Commodore Schley and Lieutenant Commander Hodgson about the Brooklyn's helm or the Texas during the engagement of July 2. The court asked three questions, which with tjbeir answers are as follows: "How did you know that the Texas asked permission to go to Guantanamo to coal because she could not coal in the open sea?" "From general talk.

I know personally that she did go to Guantanamo." "Did the Texas stop and back during the Brooklyn's turn?" "No, sir; I saw the Texas distinctly, when the turn began and during the turn, and she did not make any backwater and she did not stop." "Did you hear any conversation between Commodore Schley and any other officer during the early part of the engagement of July "I heard none before or during the turn. There was no officer with the Commodore on my side of the ship." Witness Hill was then excused. Previous to Hill's testimony Lieutenant i Simpson was on the stand for the purpose of correcting his testimony of yesterday. He stated in reply to a question by Mr. Hanna that he had first seen the Oregon coming up during the chase of the Spanish ships on July 3.

when the Oquendo was discovered to be on Are. Mr. Hanna stated that his object in bringing out this information was to flx the time when the Oregon came up G. E. Graham made an addition to his testimony of yesterday concerning the interview between Commodore Schley and Captain Sigsbee on May 26.

He said that beyond what he had already reported Captain Sigsbee as saying he further said: "He had two pilots aboard and thai, those pilots said a fleet of vessels of the size of the Spanish squadron could not enter the harbor at Santiago." Mr. Graham also changed his replv to the question of the court as to whether he had heard a conversation between Commodore Schley and Lieutenant Commander Hodgson during the battle of July 3. Referring to this Mr. Graham said: "In answer to the question of the court I said, 'N'o, but It seems to me tha I should say In that relation there was a great deal of conversation going on between thre? or four officers forward and I answered Xo' because I could not pick out anything from that conversation between Lieutenant Commander Hodgson and Commodore Schley." Lieutenant Wells was among the former witnesses called for correction of testimony While he was on the stand his attention was called to a press copy of a cipher dispatch dated May 24, prepared by him for Admiral Schley. The copy was found in the Commodore's press copybook and Lieutenant Wells said he thought he had prepared it.

He said, however, that there was a pencil note indicating that the dispatch had never been sent. He was asked to translate the copy and present it to the court later. Captain Lemly explaining that the dispatch indicated a conversation between the witness and Commodore Schley. James H. Hare was the first new witness to day.

He was a press photographer during the Santiago campaign. He stated that he was on the press boat Somers N. Smith on May 26 or 27 and that they had met the St. Paul. Hare Heard.

Sigsbee Say Enemy Was at Santiago. "Did you have any megaphone communication between the Somers X. Smith and the St. Paul?" Mr. Rayner asked.

"Megaphone and by month also." "'State what it was." "We asked the St. Paul if there was any tidings of Cervera's fleet. Captain Sigsbee told us there was not: ihat Cervera's fleet was not inside Santiago and that Schley had gone west." "Is there any particular incident that impresses that your memory?" "Ves, sir. On Sigsbee's assurance that the fleet was not in the harbor we went back to Key West to coal instead of Jamaica, and the first news we got there was that Cervera's fleet was bottled up in the harbor." On cross examination Mr. Hare said that, the Smith was within 100 yards of the St.

Paul and that part of the conversation was by megaphone and part without it. He told the court, in response to a question, that Captain Sigsbee had himself used the megaphone. Lieutenant Ackerman's Testimony. Lieutenant A. A.

who was in oommand of the after Kl inch turret and the after 8 inch turrets of the Oregon on the 8T of the battle off Santiago, followed Boatswain Hill on the stand, in response to a request from Mr. Rayner be gave a running account of that, engagement. Describing the beginning of the action he said: "We closed up the hatches and laid out. tire hose and immediately turned the guns on the entrance to the harbor." He said that the firing was begun by the marines on the upper deck. He said he could at that time see one after another nf the opHiiifn snips coming out ot tile harbor and he estimated their distance from the Oregon to be about three and a half miles.

He said that as the ships came out signal was made through the telephone in the conning tower to Are at will. "The range indicators." the witness wont on, "gradually fell until I think my first shot was fired at a range of .1.200 or 3,300 yards." He had, he said, at that time, fired five shots from the 13 Inch guns, but soon afterward the Spanish ships drew so far ahead he could no longer train his guns upon them. The witness said that the Oregon was held right on her course, evidently toward the head of the enemy's column, and he then described her passage between the Texas and the Iowa. "I had a very good opportunity," said the witness, "for seelDg both of those ships. Wo were very close to the Iowa on our starboard hand and the Texas was a little off on the port hand.

I did not sec thp Brooklyn, but I knew she was farther on ahead nf the Texas; that a whole ship's length was between my position and the Brooklyn, whore ever Rhe was. As we passed bet ween the Iowa and the Texas those ships seemed 10 be practically at anchor. "We were going very fast then and forced.
