WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—In the Schley court of inquiry today A letter was pre seated from Rear Admiral Sampson asking 10 be allowed (o be represented in the court by counsel, but the court refused to grant the request on the ground that ‘‘the court does not to the case.” The principal wituesses of the day were Licutenant John Hood, who commanded the dispatch boat Hawk during the Spanish war, and Captain Bowman H. M Calla, who wae in command of Marblehead The testimony of buth these oficers related to the delivery of dispatches from Admiral Bampson to Admiral Schley. Captain Mc Calla gave in detail an account of his ar- ranging a code of signals with the insur- Kents near Clenfuegos and an account of his communication with them May 27, 1808 when it was learned that the enemy was not in the harbor there. It was stated that Captain Chadwick, who was Admiral mo- won's chief of staff, was the only person at Key West to whom he had communicated the signal code. Captain McCalla expressed the opinion that coaling was feasible off Santlago at the time Schley began his ret rograde movement. Court Opens Punctually, As I, Admiral Dewey lost no time today In bringiug the court of inquiry to or der, and as usual the counsel on both sides of the case were in their seats and prepared to proceed promptly with the busin be fore the court. Captain Lemly estimates that he will be able to conclude sentatlon of the government side of the cose by the close of next week, if no un- forseen contingency arises to cause de He says he will have about fifteen or twenty | more witnesses to Introduce One of the most regular attendants upon the court is Mr. Willlam H. Stayton, the attorney who {8 understood to be prepared to represent other naval oMcers than Ad- | miral Schley. He sits outside the ratl and does not in any way participate in the pro- ceedings. He said yesterday that so loug as Admiral Sampson was kept out of the case he would have nothing to say. Today's session began with the recall of | wieh this decision, the witnes Captuln Wise to make verbal changes in | the official copy of his testimony t this time regard you as a party “ | o¢ the | put | | “I only desire to state | our Investigatic | tlons under the the pre- | a8 he was leaving the court room Mr, Hanoa took occasion to say: *1 will make an announcement while we are waiting, {but 1 shall merely make the announcement | here that we do intend to enter into !h!(i { matter very fully and completely; that is {to say, as fully and as completely as the | court ma sire before we leave Jt." | Lieutenant John Hood; who, during the war, commanded Hawk, was the next wit ness. He sald that on May 23 he had de | tivered dispatches from Admiral Samp- son to Admiral Schiey, when the latter was off Clenfuegos. He related that he | Sampson's flagship—on May 21, when the officers on board were preparing dispatches He spoke of the presence of Admiral Samp son Ruyner Objects Agnin. Mr. Rayner obje conversation ted to theintroduction soying that the orders would speak for themselves and must nec essarily supersede any verbal investigation [ The question was argued at eome length. | | Mr. Rayner closing, the judge advocate said An objection of this character is almost equivalent to withdrawing the re quest for an invesigation. He has aske! to have the judgment of his brother oficers in this matter. Let ue bave it and don't technical obstructions in the way of having the investigation.' Mr. Rayner responded briefly that while this is these are your specifica- precept. We asked for this Investigation and inst of letting us give the precept under which we would like to hava the inquiry take place, you form a precept of your own. Here is an applicant who asks for a court of inquiry under specifications framed by others and not by himselt."” The court retired to consider the objece tion, remaining out longer than on any pre- vious occasion. Admiral Dewey read the court's decision as follows Sehley's Counael tatned, “The court sustains the objection of counsel_so far as it relates to conversa tions that' took place on board New York, but this ruling does not apply to any verbal orders which the commander-in-chief di- rected witness to convey to Commodore Schley.” Replying to a question put in accordanc instructions were contained in the memo- He al- | rapdum handed him to be delivered to Ad- tered his previous statement concerning the | miral Schiey . which was read to him order of the Navy department of May 20,| The witness then read dispatch No. S, 1895, In which he was directed to “Inform | ¢rom Sampson to Schley of May 21, telling every vessel off Santlago that the fYINg | g latrer that the Spanish squadron was squadron is off Cienfuegos,” saying that he probably at Santiago. He also read Brook- denired to correct his responne to the | J LT L AL PR 0 T g that court’s question as to why this order not carrled out by stating that it had been carried out. “The fiving squadron was ordercd to proceed with all possible dis- patch,”” and, he continued, “1 did not de- sire to inform the commodore of the flying squadron of his movements. The order was to Inform commanders of the move- ments of the flylng squadron.” ontraai Capiain arber, Lieutenant Spencer S. Wood, who com- manded the dispatch boat Dupont during the Spanish war, was then called and con- tinued bis testimony, begun yesterday Raynoer resumed his cross-examination. The | witness #ald that while off Clenfuegos he had -been on picket duty“two miles from shore on thé night of May 22 and had been tnstructed to s'gnal the squadron with two red lights in case the enemy's torpedo boats came out of the harbor. Mr. Rayner then read from the testimony of Captain Harber of the Texas, saying that thére had been no picket vessels with the line of the fleet off Cienfuegos. The wit- ness said that the statement was wrong. Captain Lemly sald Captain Harber had testified that there were no pickets “so far as he could recall,” to which Mr. Rayner responded, “We are not impeaching Har- ber's veracity, We are questioning his rec- ollection, not his integrity.” Mr. Rayner—Captain Harber has stated that there were no picket boats at Clenfue- g0s. He was wrong, was he not? “He was,” replied the witness. “I have since seen that the commander-in-chief has also reported that the Dupont was not there. I have written the department that 1 was there. Other people forgot about it, too." By the Court—Could you see the Texas from the Dupont during the nights of May 22 and May 23? “No, sir."" Hanna Objects, Mr. Hanna objected to Mr. Rayner's methods cf questioning, especially to his characterization of Captain Harber's testi- mony as wrong, when Captain Harber had 14 distinctly that he only “spoke from his best_recollection.’ “'This," he sald, “is an indirect impeach- ment of the witness.' Mr. Rayber again Insisted that he had only intended to bring out the facts. | Mr. Hanos asked what steps had been taken: while the ‘flylug squadron was oft Clentuegos to ascertain if the Spanish fleet was inside the harbor thare?" “'None that I know of,” was the response. Was there any effort to destroy the shore batteries there?' The witness replied that he knew of none. He said, replying to another question by Mr. Rayner, that vessels In the inside har- bor could not have been discerned from the outside. Licutenant Wood was then dismissed and "‘"Juma dispatch as well as the accompanying Mr. ! memorundum had been received at m., May 23. The witness identified theso |as the orders he had earried.

His statement was as follows “Commodore Schley read the dispatches and then turning to me said, ‘Captain, Ad- miral fampson wishes me to go to Santiago. I cannot do it.’ 1 told Commodore Schley that the ad- miral certainly expected the squadron to leave the instant I arrived. Commodore Schley then said, In nearly these words “I am not at all satisfied that the Spaniards are not here in Cienfuegos besides, the ships, all want coal; that Masaschusetts, Texas and Brooklyn wanted 80 many tons of coal and that the day before Sumpson had sent him down Towa. with only half its coal supply, so that it could not go anywhere; that it was useless to send soips down there only half filled with coal. I told Comomdore Schley that 1 had passed a collier convoyed by a gunboat only a little before daylight that morning, and it would certalnly be there with at least 4,000 or 5,000 tons of coal within two or three hours. He referred again to his belief of the Spanfards being in Clenfuegos and stated fhat he had heard some firing about forty miles from port, which he took to be a welcome to the Spanish squadro he had alsc scen some smoke which he co ceived to be the Spanish squadron and he believed they were there. Schley Rel ctant to Leave, “I said to Commodore Schley again that the Information which he had considered as definite; he had no doubt but that the Span- ish squadron was at Santiago. Commodore Schley then sald to me: ‘Captain Sampson does not understand. He fs not on the spot and canuot judge. I also informed Commo- dore Schley that they certalnly expected the squadron to leave immediately and that 1 have had verbal orders from the com- mander-in-chief which did not appear in my written orders, to remain with Hawk alone at Clenfuegos after the squadron had left Don't take Ayer’s Sarsa- parilla if you are well.

He seemed to be very much per- plexed at what to do.” ““Can you state whether or not during the | time you were oft Cienfuegos with Hawk | any effort was made to communicate with| the {nsurgent Cubans?" H “There was not."” | Mr. Rayner began his cross-examination | & tew minutes before 1 o'clock, and had not | proceeded far when the court took a reces for luncheon. | When court began the Afternoon session | Mr. Rayner continued his cross-examina- | tion of Lleutenant Hood. The latter sald | his recollection was that he had delivered | his dispatches to Commodore Schley in his (Schley's) cabin, tractions. | | Concerning Sampson‘s Mr. Rayner sald: “I want to ask you | | whether in this conversation with Commo- | | dore Schley upon this occasfon he did not| tell you that Admiral Rampson had in- | structed him, before he left for Santiago, to satisfy himeelf that the Spanish fleet was | not at Cienfuegos?'’ | The reply was: “I gatberad from his conversation that he had that intormation | in some of the dispatches which were writ- | ten previously to the dispatch I carried | nim, which was of consisarably latdr date | jand therefore of course annulled all the | | others."” | Mr. Rayner questioned the witness con- | cerning the report of the presence of the | Spanish fleet at Santlago and attempted to | read a quotation from a magazine article alleged to have been written by Admiral | €ampson to sustain his pofnt that Adula | had reported that the fleet remained at San- tiago only one day. Mr. Hanna objected to the introduction of the article as testimony. He sald among other things: “I have written magazine articles myself for prominent gentlemen whose names were signed to them.” Ho sald, bowever, that he did not doubt that the article was Admiral Sampeon's. The Guestion was ultimately withdrawn for the time being Captaln MeCalla ¢ led. Lieutenant Hood was excused and Captain McCalla, who commanded Marblehead dur- ing the Spanish war, was called. He stated that he had first come into contact with the flying squadron May 19, 1895, He was then proceeding from the south coast of Cuba to Key West aud met the squadron on its way to Cuba. Captain McCalla told of his return to Clenfuegos on the morning of May 24. He had carried dispatches to Admiral Schley and had then told him of the arrangement | to communicate with the Cubans and of | his information that the Spanish fleet was | In the harbor at Santiago. He said that | Schley had immediately assented to his going ashore. He also told of his report to Schley and had then for the first time seen the instructions to the commodore. The commodore had told him that he had found difficulty in coaling, but that he felt: that it he returned to Key West he would be court-martialed. McCalla said he had ad- vised him to go to Santiago, even if he did not stay there. In reply to questions Captain McCalla stated that no effort had been made while he was with the flylng squadron off Cienfuegos to prevent the Spaniards from continuing the construction of earthworks, which he had been ordered to do. He sald Marblehead could have gone within range of these works and that he had been told by a Cuban pllot that the water we.s deep. Captain McCalla expressed the opinion that Marblehead could have coaled ou the evening of May, 28. Wh Schley Left Undone. In response to questions he next related briefly the bombardment of the Cristobal Colon on May 31. When asked what had been left undone to accomplish the destruc- tion of that vessel he replied that Admiral Schley had failed to use his entire force in making the attack. Mr. Hanna inquired if this was an im- portant omission. Captain Parker, on be- half of Admiral Schley, objected. The ob- Jection was sustained by Admiral Dewey, he remarking that ‘“such. questions should not be asked under the ruling of the court.” morrow for that."

Y., Sept President McKinley's murderer, in the custody of Sheriff Caldwell of Erle county, and twenty-one deputles, arrived in Auburn at 8:15 a. m. The prison is only about fitty yards from the depot. Awaiting the arrival of the train there was a crowd of about 200 people. Either for fear of the crowd, which was not very demonstrative, or from sight of the prison, Czolgosz' legs ~Czo0lgosz, placed In a sitting posture on the bench while the handcuffs were being removed, but he fell over and moaned and groaned, evinciug the most abject terror. As soon a8 the handeuffs were unlocked the man was dragged Into the principal keeper's office. As In the case of all prisoners, the officers immediately proceeded to strip him and put on a new suit of clothes. During this operation Czolgosz cried and yelled, making the prison corridors echo with evidence of his terror. The prison physician, Dr. John Gerlin, examined the man and ordered his removal to the cell in the condemned row, which he will oce cupy until he is taken to the electric chair, The doctor declared that the man was suffering from fright and terror, but sald that he was shamming to some ex- tent. Especially Sorry for Mea, ‘II'KI.!II"v The collapse of the murderer was a sur- prise to everyone. Enroute from Buffalo he showed no indication of breaking down, He ate heartily of sandwiches and smoked when not eating. He talked some and expressed regret for his crime. He sald: “I am especlally sorry for Mrs, McKin- ley.”” He reiterated his former statement that he had no accomplices and declared that he never had heard of the man under arrest i St. Louls who claimed to ha tied the handkerchief over his hend, con- cealing the pistol with which the president was shot. He says the handkerchief was not tied. He went behind the Templo of Music, arranged the handkerchief so as to hide the weapon and then took his place in the crowd. To Jatler Mitchell he sent this message to his father: “Tell father I'm sorry I left such a bad name for him." Cz0lgosz was in normal condition this aft- ernoon and seemed to have fully recovered from his collapse. There are five cells for condemned men In the prison and Czolgosz was placed in the only vacant cell, 50 all are now oceu- pied. Two keepers are constantly on guard in the room, which is separate from the main prison, but to guard against an at- tempt on Czolgosz's part to commit sulcide two more guards have been added, and one will constantly sit in front of Czolgosz's cell and will have a key, so that any at- tempt at self-destruction may be easily frustrated. NEBRASKA A CELERY STATE Industry In the Western Part of the State Promises tof |Assume Gigantic Proportions. W. L. Keller of Kearney was in the city yesterday in the interests of tho celery growers of that city. The celery industry ot Kearney has grown from a small begin- ning in the last few years until it amounts to a business of state importance. About twenty years agp a farmer living near Kearney planted a lot of celery and the returns were out of all proportion from any other crop that season. He was thue encouraged to continue and his neighbors became Interested. | upon which the celery is grown is a sandy loam, baving underground irrigation, it being possible to reach water within two or three feet of the surface. As a result the beds are always moist. The work is said to be less tedious tham the growing of sugar beets. One acre will produce from 21,600 (o 30,000 bunches, which sell in Omaha | today for an average of 1§ cents per bunch.
