SIX DEATHS FROM PLAGUE Taken to d of Suspicious y In Great Drit LIVERPOOL, Oct. 30.—Dr. Hope, health officer of the port, has conferred with the American and other foreign consuls regard- ing plague precautions and will suppiement the Board of Trade Inspection of outgoing vessels. At a meeting of the municipal council to- day Dr. Clark, chairman of the sanitary committee, made a report with reference to the plague and gave detalls of each case under suspicion. Six persons have died since September 23, whose malady had symptoms of plague. There are several suspected cases in the hospital, though the precise nature of them has not been given out. Additional inspectors will be ap- pointed and other precautions taken to pre- vent the spread of the disease. The nature of the official announcement has reassured the public and allayed appre- henslons. Although two of those who have died were in Glasgow in August, nothing is known to connect them with the plague there. In secking for the origin of the disease in Liverpool it is thought that a policeman who handled the clothing of the persons brought to the mortuary at Prince's dock may have communicated the plague to the family in the house where he lodged, as two of the household have died. He, however, has not been il YIELD OF GRAIN IN GERMANY Decrease in Wheat and Rye Output Will Necesaitate Heavy Import tion of These Staples.

LOUIS, Oct. 30.—~David Ives Bushnell, Jr., who is in charge of the Archaeological department of the Peabody institute of Bos- ton, while on a visit to the site of the world's fair in Forest park yesterday, dis- covered a series of six Indian mounds on the high ridge or plateau of ground where the Art building and the State and Forelgn bulldings are to be located. He reported his discovery today to the chairman of the committee on anthropology and steps were at once taken to save from injury at least one of the mounds for exhibition at the Louisiana Purchase exposition. ““The mounds are in the 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 be found when they are opened. I can- not tell from the superficial examination 1 have given them whether they were burial mounds or simply dwelling mounds, but in either case the scientific opening of the constructions should result in very idter- esting developments." The appointment of Thomas W. Cridler, third assistant secretary of state, to be commissioner to Europe of the Loulsiana Purchase Exposition when he retires from his present position has been approved.

NEW LIGHT THROWN ON OFF.CIAL LETTER Firat Draft of Report in Objected to by Admiral Sampson—New York clw (Continued from First Page.) recorded, because the writing of them wi always deferred until the next day. “No man,"” he cald, “except the press cor- respondents, who brave all dangers, can al- ways have paper and pencil at hand while a battle is In progress, and as a consequence there is a fallure to record many occur- rences that should be recorded.” Here followed an examination of the various signals from Massachusetts on the day of the bombardment, which the admiral verified. At the same time he remarked that he thought there were other signals unrecorded. Admiral Schley said he had ordered the range at 7,000 yards for that day, but he bad not supposed Colon was &o far up the harbor. “'Of course,” he said, “1 left the measurement of the range to the executive officer.” “'Does your letter to the senate February 18, 1809, plead the precautionary order of the department for not destroying the Colon 2" “I should rather think that is the infer- enc The admiral then, at the request of the Judge advocate, read what he wrote to the senate. The 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 before him. He omitted to mention in that communication, he sald, Admiral Sampson's caution at Key West. He had prepared it largely from memory. In further support of his position the ad- miral read the department’s instruction of July 13, specifically warning the com- mander-in-chief against risking armored vessels. to the fire of land batteries. He was cross-questioned closely as to all the orders bearing upon this subject. He sald he had never seen, until he saw them In the report, the orders of April 6 and April 28, modifying to eome extent the original order. But he had been advised of thelir purport. P “In your report of June 1 to the depart- ment concerning the reconnalssance you did not mention any purpose to sink or destroy Colon?" “I did not.” “But in your telegraphic report you did eay that your purpose was to destroy Colon?" “Incidentally, yes." The judge advocate then asked the ad- miral to tell exactly what his purpose was on that occasion and what Inetructions he had given. Replying that he had testified fully on this subject before, he then sald that the signals made indicate the purpose. The signals Instructed the ships to use their heavy guns againet Colon. New Or- leans, with its lighter battery, was di- rected to fire at the shore batteries. The instruction was to go in to 7,000 yards and he thought until several days afterward that the ships had gone in to that distance. “I directed the shifis to follow .the flag, to operate againt Colon and fire at the forts to develop them and I think the reconnols- sance, so far as it went, was eminently suc- cesstul. The batterles were developed and the fact was demonstrated that the enemy was in port. With a squadron of only five or six ships, I belleved that only the strongest military necessity would have justified me In risking the loss of a vessel that might have reduced our squadron to a number less than that of the enemy. It two of our ships had been crippled the enemy might have come out and bagged us with disastrous results. The development of the facts as to the batteries and ships in my opinion, sufficient. The enemy's could not get away." one of Bombardment. as you passed the mouth of tme harbor?" The witness replied in a deliberate man- ner: “Well, that is a technical error that might have been remedied if someone cise had been in command. Possibly the firing would have been more efféctive 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 w case of tweedle-dee on the one hand and tweedle-dum on the other. Passes to the Battle. Captain Lemly at this point passed on to the battle of July 3, stopping to ask one or two incidental questions about the cir- cumstances of the evening of July 2. On July 2, when the suspicious mo ments were in the harbor of Santi the witness sald he talked \with Captain Cook about the advisabllity of coupling up the engines. It was decided not to do so. He supposed the ship was always ready for a sortle. Admiral Schley's attention was called to Captain Cook’s testimony that on the night of July 2 he turned m with no inti- mation that the fleet would come out. The witness sald that Captain Cook's state- ment was not in any sense inconsistent with his. He had no intimation that the fleet would come out. The cross-examination of Admiral Schley on the bottle of Santiago began with a question as to what the first movement of Brooklyn's helm was after the enemy's ships were sighted coming out. “We were heading wesp by morth,” he replied. , The first helm to port. “Captaln Cook gave the order for the turn?" “Yes." “You regard that turn a tant, do you not " “I think it was the movement that de- clded the events of that day.” The admiral sald in response to ques- tions that he had not mentioned the loop in his report of the battle. It was an In- cident of the battle which he had no idea ever would come into controversy. Cap- tain Cook had given the order without or- ders from him except under his general instruction to close in and keep somo- where about 1,000 yards away outside of the broadside torpedo rapge. When the time came for the turn Captain Cook's conception of the movement colncided with his own. Although Captain Cook gave the order, he would have done 80 In a moment had the captain of Brooklyn failed to do s0. “Do you assume full responsibility for the turn?" “Absolutely.

Captain Lemly introduced the following paragraph from Admiral Schley's report of the battle, dated Guantanamo, July 6, 1898 8ince reaching this place and holding con- versation with scveral persons, viz., Cap- tain_ Eulate of Viscaya and second in command of Colon, Commander Contreras, 1 have learned that the Spanish admiral's scheme was to concentrate all fire for awhile on Braokiyn and Viscaya to ram |t in hopee that If they could destroy it the chance of escape would be Increased, as it was supposed it was the swiftest ship of your squadron. This explains the heavy fire mentioned and Viscaya's action in the earlfer movements of the engagement. The execution of this purpose was promptly defeated by the fact that all of the ships of the squadron advanced Into close range and opened an irresistibly furfous and 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 sald that before the helm of Brooklyn was swiung hard aport in order to make the loop, the helm was put alter- nately to port and to starboard in order to meet the movements of the enemy's ships. Cervera's Courne Hard to Guens. “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 chiet, 1 belfeve, that on making the turn you did not see the starboard of Texas?" “I did say so, absolutely,” replied the witness. The judge advocate then took up Ad- miral Schley's report of the battle made to the department relating to Guantanamo bay May 6, 1508, and he was questioned con- cerning the statements made therein, at- tention being called to the staiement that after Viscaya had struck its colors the sig- nal was made to cease firing, and then the following sentence: ‘“‘Oregon having proved vastly faster than the other battleships, it and Brooklyn, together with Texas and another vessel (which proved to be your flagehip), continued westward in pursuit of Colon, which had run close in shore, evi-. dently seeking some good spot to beach it it should fail to elude its pursuers.’ “You wrote that?" asked Captain Lemly. “Yes," replied Admiral Schiey. *“‘And I can explain the whole thing it you will permit me to use a preliminary report that was returned.” Captain Lemly—I have no objection to your preliminary report unless it comes under the rule that it was not sent. Schley—It was sent and was returned. Captaln Lemly—1 think 1 have a right to continue and not have them insert other evidence at this time.

I think when a witness is asked a question— Admiral Dewey—The information con- talned in that report which was not sent can be drawn out in some other way. The court has ruled it out because it was not sent. A good, many questions have been asked. You might ask some more. Rayner—It Is not quite three days, yet; he is just beginning. Rayner—1 want to read this report. Admiral Dewey--The court has decided that it had better be drawn out in some other way. We have ruled out all papers not sent. Rayner—This was sent. This is not the report that was sent to the telegraph office. Admiral Dewey—Oh, I beg your pardon. At this point the hour of 1 o'clock hav- ing arrived the court took a recess for luncheon. After recess Cantain Lemly laid before | the court Admiral Schley's press copybook containing a copy of his letter embracing his first report.to Admiral Sampson of the battle off Santiago which had been returned and there was more contention between counsel as”to, the admissibility of the docu- ment as 6vidéMe. © The decision of the court was to fhe effect that the report could not be read aloud and was an- nounced by Admiral Dewey as follows: “The court holds that (here is no ob- Jection to (he witness refreshing his mem- ory from the le'ter, but that he cannot read it aloud.

Letter Sent and Returned. ““There is this difference,” sald Mr. Ray- ner, “that while the telezram was never sent the letter was sent and returned Captain Lemly—How do you kpow that? Mr. Rayner—It is what we want to prove. Captain Lemly—The mark on its face shows that it was not sent. Mr. Rayner—We propose to show that that was an error. That marking was done by Admiral Schley's flag lieutenant, Admiral Dewey—The letter has the same standing as the telegram. We don't know why it was marked as “not sent" except that it was so marked. Mr. Rayner to Admiral Schley—Who made the mark? Admiral Schley—My secreiary, after I had returned from the flagship New York, After some further sparring by counsel Admiral Schley replied that the origin preliminary report of the battle he took to the commander-in-chief and then re- turned to Brooklyn. “Admiral Sampson then again signaled for me to come on board,” he sald, “‘and he handed the report back to me. There was nobody but himself and myself in the cabin at that time and from the conver: tion I had with him, T was led to believ Captain Lemly—We want the conver:a- tion. The admiral then recounted his conversa- tion with Admiral Sampson, whom he sald banded the letter back to him with the statement that he (Sampson) was com- mander-in-chief and that he (Schley) had omitted a very important detail in the re- port In that it falled to show the presence of New York. “I felt at that time,” Admiral Schley went on, “that the victory was big enough for all and I made this (his report of the battle that has been published) out of generosity and because I knew that if New York had been present It would have done as good work as any other vessel.” No Collogquy with Hodgson. The admiral was asked what conversation he had had with Lieutenant Commander Hodgson on Brooklyn just before the loop was made. He sald he could not recall a single word of conversation with Lieutenant Hodgson beyond the latter's remark that the enemy were coming for them and his response to go for them except some remark about the proximity of Texas. He did not now recall and he never had been able to recall a colloguy. “Did you glve out for publication Lieu- tenant Hodgson's categorical denial? “1 did.” “Did you glve out the accompanying let- ter of explanation?" “1 did not.” The witness stated that he would still say that he had desired to set Hodgson right as well as himself, but he had done nothing in that directiog because the de- partment ordered an investigation, When the Spanish fleet came out of the harbor, being on deck and fully aware of Brooklyn's maneuver, being senlor officer, do you consider that full responsibility for that maneuver rests upon you?" “Absolutely, because even If I did not give it directly I approved what the cap- taln dia." “Was any order—I assume it would have been by signal it 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 had made their turn and it was to avold getting Into thelr crossfire that Brooklyn's made."" “And that was the pirpose of the loo t was one of the reasons for it. It was to avold that at a crucial or critical time of the battle when the fire of the battle- ships was so absolutely important.

New York being entirely absent, Brooklyn that day had to take a very Important lead, and if we had sacri- ficed it we might have lost the battle.” “What indication did you give to the other vessels of the fleet to show the direction in which Brooklyn was going to turn or was turning?"" “I did not make any, becAuse I did not think we were in danger of proximity to any, but after we turned signal was made to follow the flag and they followed it. Of course the direction they should take was indicated.” Court Propou At 2:36 p. m. Captain Lemly concluded Is_eross-examination which had begun at he beginning of the morning sesslon of Monday. Captain Lemly said: questions.” He turned to Mr, Rayner, who said have not a single question.” “The court has a few,” Dewey. At the conclusion of the cross-examina- tion there was placed in evidence the tele- gram sent by Admiral Schiey to the depart- ment July 10, saying in substance that he did not desire to assume entire credit for the victory of July 3 and that the victory belonged to the fleet under the command of Admiral Sampson. In reply to a ques- tion from Captain Parker he said he bad taken this dispatch to Admiral SBampson, “‘who stated that he was very glad that 1 had sent it and thought it was very gener- Quentions. “I have no further “We said Admiral Who was generous?" “I, of course.” The first of the court questions referred to the blockade of Clenfuegos and was as follows: “While off Clenfuegos could you see the shore to westward so distinctly as to form an idea of the feasibllity of making a land- ing there?" The witn answered this question In the afirmative and in reply to the next ques- tion said he had seen no fishermen or fish- ing boats on shore with whom he could have communicated. ‘Also replylng to a question of the court, he sald he could not at all recollect the con- versation between himself and Lieutenant Hood, to which the latter had testified. The examination of Admiral Schley wi concluded at 3:08 p. m. and he was excused. There being no further witnesses present, the court at 3:10 p, m. adjourned until 11 o'clock tomorrow. ONE RED HAT FOR AMERICA While There May Be Additiony to Roll of Cardinals, None Will Be from United States. WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—-Unefclal ad- vices just received from Rome confirm the understanding that no papal consistory at Rome will be held before next February In view of this fact Cardinal Martinelli, ; the papal delegate, will leave this country Just before the consistory, which, In con- | nection with its other work, will confer the red hat upon him While there may be some additions to the roll of cardinals, it is certain that none of these will be from the United States.
