DEWEY FINDS FOR SCHLEY. Washington, Dec. 13.--The most prolonged, interesting and import- ant naval tribunal ever held in this country closed to-day, having in open and secret sessions lasted one week short of three months, when Secretary Long was handeii the find- ings of the court ofinquiry, which ing quired into the conduct of Admiral Schley during the Santiago cam- | paign. A representative of the Associated Press conveyed the first information of the findings of the court to Admi- ral Schley. He was seated in a public reception room of a hotel chatting with friends and several newspaper men, and evinced no signs of ner- vousness over the outcome. When the conclusions of Admiral Dewey was read to him, Admiral Schley showed his pleasure and it was evi- dent from his manner that he regard- ed the statement from Admiral Dew- ey as a vindication of his cause. He declined to make any statement con- cerning the court's findings and, ex- cusing himself from the little compa- ny which had gathered about him, went to his apartments, where Mrs. Schley had been waiting to hear the court's decision, Later, an official copy was brought to the hotel by a messenger from the navy depart- ment. The report in par: is as fol- lows: Washington, Dec, 13,—Commo- dore Schley, incommand of the fly- ing squadron, should have proceeded with the utmost dispatch off Cienfue- close blockade of that port. He should have endeavored, on May 23, at Cienfuegos to obtain in- formation regarding the Spanish squadron by communicating with the ‘nsurgents at the place designat- ed in the memorandum given to him at 1:15 of that date. He show&d have proceeded from Cienfuegos to Santiago de Cuba with all dispatch and should have dis- posed his vessels with a view of inter- cepting the enemy in any attempt to pass the flying squadron. Heshould not have delayed the squadron for the Eagle. He should not have made the ret- rograde turn westward with his squadron. He should have attempted to cap- ture or destroy the Spanish vessels at anchor near the entrance at San- tiago harbor on May 29 and 30. _ He did his utmest_with the force under his command tocapture or de- stroy the Colon and other vessels of Batt Carr's Edict. | From the New York Evening Sun. | Batt Carr was noted in Texas as a killer of bad men. For that reason | be was brought north and made mar- shal of Caldwell, which town had been running wild since the death of | George Platt. | The toughs smiled when they heard |the report that the imported mar- | shal used a brush on his head and a whisk broom on his coat. He did not weigh more than 120 pounds. It was all so ridiculous that in sheer disgust Big Jim, proprietor of the Red Light, proceeded to get wild on the worst stuff he had. In thatstate he undertook to show some newly ar- rived cowboys the sights of the town. Carr had been around enough to know that his first night was likely to be the most exciting one in his term of office It was therefore no surprise-when—he—heard—Big Jim's voice ordering the citizens off the sidewalk, as they were interfering with the procession, The marshal followed the parade back to the Red Light and showed his badge. At this sign of rival au- thority Big Jim began to talk. His remarks sounded like a cyclone effect on Batt Carr. The officer crossed the room and looked ‘the windmill over at close range. “*Pears to me,” said the marshal, as soon as Big Jim stopped for breath, “that the bolts of this ma- chine need tightening up a bit. It’s ramshackle; ‘sides, | think the slats are ketehen too much wind. Guess it’s too rattletrap and needs takin’ down.” Big Jim was mightly surprised at this uncivil talk, Such things had never been mentioned before in his presence. He roared like a lassoed bull and reached out for Batt Carr's collar, but his reach fell short. He just clutched at the air as the buttof his eyes. The big bartender went to sleep on the floor and Carr turned to view the erowd over the sights oftwo revolvers. “Just as soon as I get to forty, countin’ mentally,” said he, “these dogs will begin to snap and every’ snap means a dead fool.” The screen was jammed into the double door during the first quarter of the count and most of the boys reached fresh air through the win- dows before the end of the first half of Carr’s mental figuring. When Big Jim came to be found a large placard pinned to his coat with his hunting knife. It contained the words: ‘‘Notis, this windmill is tuck down and not to be set up only by offishal orders,” On the outside of the door was an- other larger placard with these words: “Notis this farmicy is gone out of biznes. The opener or openers of this or these doors without. offishal per- mission will be sent_to the court. be- og examine my DON’T FORGET presents, diamond, plain and other set rings; diamond solid gold atd plated brooches; clocks, solid silver novelties, cut glass, chinaware and fancy vases.

Owing to the jam, it took the good man an unusual time to make his way from his carriage to the pulpit. It was said that as high as a quart | of whisky was offered for standing room on the doorsteps or on a box | atone of the windows, but there were | no takers. The crowd that could! not get in was a record breaker. Batt Carr gave the paraders a tip | that after the service there would be | a private “catechise” down at the | Red Light, and the man that could not answer questions would be up| against a pile of trouble, They | didn’t take their eyes off the preac er’s face for an hour, The “catechise” was held at the Red Light behind closed doors, with a hundred-foot street pretty well blocked with persons anxious to eavesdrop on the process. Tt is said | that the paraders showed great pro- | ficency and Big Jim won the honors, | oy and standing on a beer keg, so he | could be seen, made a speech. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began: “L say ladies because I see two, bless | their souls, peekin’ through the out- skirts. | hey to go ter church Sun- day morn’ and night.

From the size of some of the vertebrae that have been dug out of the sand, ithas been estimated the animal was 300 feet long. I have secured possession of the specimen and will ship it east. For that reason I want to have it in- sured.” Mr. Drennan said he would write insurance on the bones, CSCASTORIA. Beers the The Kind You Have Always Sought Signatore of Lo -War Office Gets Wise.

Sioux City, Ia., Dec. 12.—It devel- ops that the object of Madame Nor- dica’s recent visit was in behalf of a claim against the government for $3,000,000 or $4,000,000, which the great artist has placed in the hands of Thomas B. Reed for collection. Nordica says she is able to prove that she is the sole heir of Ichabod Nor- ton, for the confiscation of whose | 10. the war of the revolu-|%*%* ships during siderable sum from France. the enemy which he attacked on May 31. By, gommencing the engagement on July 3 with the port battery and turning the Brooklyn around with a port helm Commodore Schley caused her to lose distance and position with the Spanish vessels, especially with the Viscaya and Colon. The turn of the Brookly to star- board was made to avoid getting into dangerous proximity to the Spanish vessels. The turn was made toward the Texas and caused that vessel to stop and back her engines to avoid a possible collision. Admiral Schley did injustice to Lieutenant Commander A. C. Hodg son in publishing only a portion of the correspondence which passed be- tween them. Commander Schley’s conduct in connection with the events of the Santiago campaign prior to June 1, 1898, was characterized by vacilla- tion, dilatoriness and lack of enter- prise. ; His official reports regarding the coal supply and the coaling facilities of the flying squadron were inaccu- rate and misleading. His conduct during the battle of July 3 was self-possessed and he en- couraged, in his own person, his sub- ordinate officers and men to fight courageously. (Signed.)

It took a month to restore Big Jim’s countenance to its normalcon- dition and his system received such a shock that he promised to confine his talents to “tending bar if the marshal would only give him a show.” This was granted and ail went well until the B-X boys came in. They were Jim's favorities, for they parted with their wages more easily ard rapidly than any other gang that showed up iif the town. It was Sat- urday night when the B-X boyscame and it was Sunday school time inthe town before they knew it. In the progress of this festive occasion they treated so often that Big Jim bee: irresponsible and in this condition started out todead another parade. Batt Carr met them at the corner and gave them the first intimation that it was Sunday school time. He told Big Jim that they could dispose ofthe armament on the sidewalk and then wend their way like good chil- dren to the church, where theSunfay school superintendent would be glad to elucidate a lesson on a suitable Scripture text. Some of the boys demurred, and as a result one of them had to be taken out of the parade and planted. The rest followed Jim to Sunday school. ‘The superintendent was always look- ing for recruits from the highways and hedges, but this was almost too much. However, he furnished a teacher and appointed Batt Carr as assistant. It was amazing tosee the B-X boys trying to outdo Jim inget- ting marks for answers to the Script- ure questions. They thought the ordeal was over when the parents, to the extent of the entire town, came casually in after their children. But Batt Carr said that the preacher was a good man jond they ought to show their respect A few days ago I stepped inside a florist’s and found the sole occupant, a young woman of perhaps one or two and twenty years of age, so | ables” | absorbed in reading ‘Les Miser: that I had to repeat my errand a} second time befoge she looked up.

Isn't it delightful to work among them?’ She hesitated amoment, then, looking me full in the face, replied: “Yes, but y-o-u do legion—and so very—v-e-r-y/sharp.”” No need to search for her meaning. I knew instinctively. Truly a most intelligent, well-bred way of express- ing a secret sorrow. I passed out of her presence with the feeling that I had meta gentlewoman, one of whom the world has too few. Such women ean banish the evil they encounter in life and command the respect of both men and women by their birthright offinenatures.
