DEAF EAR TURNED T0 SEARS Court of Inquiry Rules Out Words of Eohley's Flag Lientenant. LIMIT IS PUT TO ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE Witnesses Are Permitted to Wil Ble Repented., Oct. 81.—In the Schley sourt of Inquiry today a number of wit- secs were introduced by Judge Advocate wemly to testify in rebuttal of the evidence given in Admiral Schley’s behalf. The court lecided early in the day that no witnesses sould be introduced at ‘this stage of the yroceedings to give testimony on imma- lerial points. This announcement was made | connection with an effort to prove a tonversation on board Massachusetts, in which Lieutenant Sears, whp was Admirai dchley's flag lieutenant, was reported to Jave sald “For God's sake, don't dis- sourage him (meaning Commodore Schley s all that we have heen able to do to work him up to this It had the effect of relieving Lieutenant Commander Grant, Lieutenant Commander Potts and other officer of Massachusetts, ®ho had been called to testify to this con- vorsation with Mr. Sears, which i sald to @ occurred on Massachusetts just before the reconnaissance of May #1 On the other hand, the court held that It was nol bound by (he ordinary proceed- Ings In civil issues as to the time when testimony can be taken and that witnosses might be called or recalled at any time for the purpose of making addttions to former statements, but that aone of them could feiterate testimony previously given. This decision was rendered on an objection ralsed by Mr. Rayner on allowing Captain Sigshee o give new testimony when called s a witness for rebuttal purposes The witnesses called i rebuttal were Captain Cimrles D, Sigshee, Captain Francls E. Chadwick, Captain Josvph G ton, Lieutenant John H. Roys and Chief Quar- dermaster Nell Anderson, all of whom tes tified to incidents connected with the cam- paign of 1598 Captain Chadwick in his statement today mld that the precautionary digpatches trom the Navy department in regard to at- tacking the Spanish shore batteries had not heen communicated to Commodore Schley. Thix statement is regarded as of great fmportance by Admiral Schley's op- ponents, ax it distinctly contradicts the ad- miral's own statements w'w Talk with Sehley. Stah, Captain tnterview Sigshee testified concerning his on Braoklyn with Commodore Schley. Captaln Baton was the commander of the dispatch boat Resolute during the war and his testimony related largely fo events which accurred just before and just after the hattle on July Lieutenant Roys served on board Eagle and his statement bore upon Bagle's meet- ing with Brooklyn when the latter was en- route to Clenfuegos and ugain when the flagehip lay off that port. He stated that Lieutenant Commander Southerland had asked not 1o he sent to Port Antonio for coal and; had asked- to bo allowed to coal from Merrimuc Mr. Anderson was chief quartermaster of Brooklyn during the Spanish war and was at the wheel during the battle of July 3. He sald that Commodore Schley had given the order of “hard aport.” but that when the order was glven the vessel was ther' Bata"aport. . Betore these witnesses were introduced for the department the court heard Cap- tain T. S, Borden of the Marine corps, who served on Brooklyn, in Admiral Schley's be- half. He was the last of the admiral's witnesses and testified that the admiral had borne himself honorably during the battle of July 3. Last of Schley Wiinenses. Captain Borden xaid he had been junior marine oficer on Brooklyn and he stated that the distance of the blockading line from the entrance to the harbor at San- tlago was not to exceed four and a halt miles. He said he had seen picket hoats at night during Commodore Schley's com- mand there. The vessels had steamed about four and a half miles back and forth At night. Speaking of the events of the battle of July 3, he sald the lowest range given was 1,100 yards and that this was given just before the turn, while the maxi- mum range was 2,600 yards. He had clearly abserved Brooklyn's loop, and speaking of this he said “In_the course of the turn I fired guns on elther slde, starboard and port. Smoke was very thick at that time and during MISS ZELMA RAWLSTON Th Manst Sucdeanful Male Impersonator riean Stage es Her d Keeps Her Throat and Voice in Perfect Condition with DR, sULL’S COUGH SYRUP, MISS ZELMA RAWLSTON Many letters are received dally. similar to the following one, from Miss Rawlston, 1THE OMAHA DAILY BEL: FKIDAY, I had a plain view out of the stern ports I judge 1 could see about 500 yards dis- tinetly.” In reply to questions from Mr. Rayner, he said he had seen Commodore Schiey thres times during the battle and that his bear- Ing was “everything that the officers and crew could have expected.” The witness then related other incidents of the battle, saying: “The most vivid fea- ture of the battle in my recollection oc- curred just after Brooklyn had nde its turn. 1 had relieved the gun eaptain in charge of the starboard six-pounder gun and I fired at three ships inside of three minutes by a slight change in train. At that tine I could see no other American ship.” On cross-examination the fact wos brought cut that during the turn Captain Borden had beeu in charge of guns in the stern of the ship and had not been able to see ahead, Captain Borden was then excused and as he left the stand Mr. Rayner said he would have no more witnesses to call. He #ald: “May it please the court, we have closed our case.”" This statement was made At 11:15 a. m. and the statement was made in such quiet tomes that it is doubtful whether its purport was understood by halt those present, Schiey's Report of B Captain Parker then asked to have put in evidence a number of documents, including the report of the battle of July 3, which Admiral Schley made from Montevideo July 13, 1900, This report never has been printed. Following is an extract from it: “In my judgment, from an unobstructed view of the entire fleld of action during the combat, Viscaya was not more than 1,000 yards distant. My flag lleutenant, standing at my clbow, reminded me that the dis- tance between the leaders of the Spanish squadron end ourselves was approaghing | our tactical diameter. The stadimeter at thie instant indicated 900 yards. Brooklyn swung to starboard to meet what proved to be the last of the attempts to ram Brook- Iyn, for Viscaya then turned square to star- board and followed Maria Teresa until the Iatter's destruction. These facts admit of no contradiction, for they are based upon the independenc judgment and observation of two or more porsons, and upon the stadi- meter in the hands of a person skilled in its use.” Ton minutes weve consumed in presenting this report, which was admitted. Lieuten- ant Grant was then called as the firet wit- ness for the rebuttal. The witness was in- terrogated concerning the events of May 31, when Commodore Schiey went aboard Mas- chusetts for the purpose of making a re- connolssance and bombarding Colon, espe- clally to the conversation in which Lisuten- ant Sears, flag leutenant of Brooklyn, who accompanied Commodore £chley on this oc- casion, was reported as urging that no ob- stacles be put in the way of letting the bombardment go on, because he was repre- sented to have sald it had been difficult enough to get the commodore up to the point of undertaking it In reply to questions Lieutenant Grant said he had seen Lieutenant Sears on board Massachusetts during the bombardmont or reconnolssance of May 31, and that he first saw him on the quarterdeck about 11 o’clock of that day. “‘I had been below," continued the witness, “to get the powder division ready for action. Between 11 and 12 o'clock 1 went with Lieutenant Sears into the navi- gator's room while he was washing his hands previous to going in to breakfast in the ward room, and I had a conversation with him in that room and afterward af the ward room table.” Sears' Statement at Mess. The witness sald that the mavigator was present part of the time during this con- versation. At the conversation he thought about sixteen were present, practically the entire mese. “I want you to state what the conversa- tion in the state room of the mnavigator was." At this point the testimony was brought to a sudden stop by an emphatic remark by Mr. Rayner: “I object.” Addressing the court, Mr. Raymer made a vigorous zpeech, charging that the con- versation in the ward room of Massachu- setts was jmmaterial to the case; that as it was Irrelevant to the issue and as Ad- miral Schley was not present, the conver- sation was clearly inadmissabl It this talk could be permitted any remark made by Lieutenant Sears at any other place could be introduced. Mr. Rayner quoted several authorities in support of his con- tention. Mr. Hanna contended that the testimony wae material and therefore, under Mr. Ray- ner's own authorities, admissible. Following Mr. Hanna, Captain Lemly quoted the remark which Lieutenant Sears is alleged to have made as follow “For God's sake don’t discourage him (meaning Commodore Schley), 1t is all that we have been able to do to work bim up to thi Captain Parker followed with a brief speech In support of Mr. Rayner's conten- tion. “It" he sald, “commanding officere are to be judged by all the foolish and ridiculous things young officers say in the ward room, I don't know what would be- come of them.' The court then retired to consider the point raised. The members of the court were consultation fifteen minutes, and when they returned Admiral Dewey an- nounced the cour decision tollows: ““The objection as made is eanctioned by te. the court." More Wit es te He Recal The witness was then'excused and after A brief consultation between Captain Lemly and Mr. Hanoa, Captaln Sigsbee was recalled. When he had taken his seat Mr. Hanna stated that the witness had been called for the purpose of securing such facts as he might be possessed of that the court, or covnsel might want to elicit from him, This statement brought Mr. Rayner to The following schedule has been arranged for classes at Tenth Street City missio) under the supervision of Mies M Sun day school at 3 o'clock; temperance clubs for boys and girls, Tuesdays at 4 o'clock; lrn'ln| nrn‘l‘nlnelr)l;‘nll’ficlnl uflml l:llnlln who uie | mothers’ meetings, Wednesdays at 2 nothing but 'LL'S COUGH S8YRUP | . . to prevent hoarseness and cu Saghe || o'clock: Jewish industrial classes, Thurs Whenever I huve had a cough or been | days at 4 o'clock: boys' and girls' tem- l)i’n\l\ll with huul;::‘n:u ;lurh\l my |vrnlf:‘=- peranee clubs, Fridays at 4 o'clock, and slonal career e wlwiys usel " . 0 .

Captain Lemly—1 do mot call it rebuttal we called Captain Sigsbee because he is wanted to testify.

The rule of law is you can rebut anything new that we have brought out, but you cannot call witnesses {10 sustain former statements they have | made. There s no objection to a witness in rebuttal.” Captain Lemly—Counsel s wrong when he says I closed the case, 1 did not close it. 1 simply said “we rest here,” and I pro- pose to call further witne: hereafter. I am only golng to call such witnesses as the court thinks necessary in order to have the facts before it. He contended that this is an inquiry and not a prosecution and that the usual rules of opening and closing and of rebuttal and sur-rebuttal followed in ordinary courts of law were not to be followed in thfs case. The court at 12:60 p. m. took a recess until 2 o'clock without deciding the point raleed Full Liberty in Testimony. When the court reconvened after recess Admiral Dewey announced the decision of tha court on the question of rebutting tes- timony, holding that witnesses may be called at any time, or recalled for the pur- pose of making corrections of former testi- mony, or additions in_the nature of cor- | rections. They cannot, however, reiterate former evidence. The latter part of the decislon was read by Captain Lemly to the witness, in order that he might confine himself in.his an- swers in accordance therewith. Captain Lemly then asked him to proceed to make such corrections of his testimony or such uddition in the nature of corrections as he might desire. ptain Sigsbee answered as follows: have carefully, since my last testi- | mony, gone over all of my official docu- ments, all of my private letters and the records of 'St. Paul. I have no correction | to make in the testimony I then gave, 50 far as it was given, excepting that I said 11 could not recolloct whether thero were one or two assemblages of commanding officers aboard ship off Santiago before the arrival of the flying squadron there on May 26, and that if there were two visits, one must have been on board Yale. My log | at some shows there were two assemblages, both on board Harvard, and that I went on the second visit with the captain of Yale, and from that I have come to the conclusion that the second visit was on board Yale. That is the only correction I desire to make." Captain Lemly—You are llkewise per- mitted at this time to make additions in the nature of corrections to your testi- mony. This I say not for the purpose of suggesting anything, but merely for the purpose of giving you the opportunity which the court intends you shall have. “I desire to state that I Informed Com- modore Bchley on the occasion of my visit to him on May 26 that I thought that St. Paul bad been chased by a torpedo boat on the night of its arrival or the subse- quent night; second, that I detailed to him the communication between Captain Good- rich of 8t. Louls and myself on board St. Paul as we passed each other, when I was bound from Cape Haytien to Santlago and Bt. Louls was bound from Santiago to Cape Haytles b Boat ia Warned, The witness sald that since he was for- merly on the stand he had recalled that he did see the press boat Somers N. Smith on May 28 and he also recalled, he eald, that on that evening he had seen the press boat Premier and had warned those aboard agalpst remaining where they them were because of the danger of belng attacked by torpedo destrovers Continuing, he said that in his intervelew with Commodore Schley on board Brook- 1yn he was told by the commodore that St, Paul (Sigsbee's boat) was to go with the flylng squadron to Key West and on the following day was to take Texas In tow. The witness remarked: “There was al- ‘most no catechism at that time on the part of Commodore Schley. I volunteered al- most everything that I sald about Santiazo and the Spanish fleet. His whole conversa- tion was on the subject of coal and nothing but coal and, so far as I could judge, he already had made up his mind to return to Key Wi He told me that he was golng to Key West."” The next witness was Lieutenant John H. Roys, who was a watch officer on board Eagle during the war. He sald that when Eagle met the flying squadron the latter was on its way to Clenfuegos he had beard nothing sald to the effect that there was “no news.” He was sure that on that oc- casion there was no direct communication between Eagle and Brooklyn and that they were not nearer than a mile of each other. e sald also that he had been present when Commodore Schley had later sent Eagle away to Port Antonio and had heard Com- mander Southerland ask to be allowed to coal from Merrimac. ‘When Mr. Roys was excused Neils An- derson, who was quartermaster on Brooklyn during the battle of July 3 and who was stationed at the wheel in the conning tower, wi called. He sald -that Commodore Schley gave the order “Helm hard aport.” Tribute to Indiana. Captain Joseph G. Eaton, who was In command of Resolute during the Santiago campalgn, then took the stand. His testimony related malnly to the chase of the Austrian ship Marla Teresa in the belief that it was & Spanish vessel on July 3, immediately after the close of the battle off Santlago. He expressed the opinion that at the beginning of the battle of July 3 the fire of Indlana had been more effec- tive than that of others of the American vessels. Captain F. E. Chadwick of New York was next called to testify concerning the pre- cautionary orders given by the department concerning the bombardment of shore bat- terles. He recognized and identified the and Capitol avenue on Tenth street, con- ducted for rescue work by Mother Lee of Bancroft home, ls again extending its work.

He was sure, he said, that if anything had been suld on that subject he would recall the fact. The last witness concluded his testimony the at 5:15 o'clock and court adjourned until 11 o'clock tomorrow R. W. Breckenridge has returned from New' York, Boston and Washington. In the latter city he spent some time at the Schley court of inquiry, concerning which he gives the impressions of a lawyer. “Nothing In western life can compare with that court,” said he, “‘so much as a coroner's inquest. There are really no rules for the introduction of evidence, ex- cept as they are established by the judges of the court. People give their impres- slons and opinions on the witness stand with the same positiveness and directness as they testify to facts. As a legal proposi- tion there is nothing like a court of in quiry on earth, but from the standpoint of a citizen it is extremely interesting. “From what I heard of the testimony 1 am firmly convinced that several of the naval officers are careless with the truth, No, I don’t mean to say that they are hon- estly mistaken, but that, regardless of fact, they set out to besmirch Admiral Schley, and I am convinced that they will fail in the attempt, *‘A personal friend of mine at Washington, who is famillar with the whole affair and who stands close to several of the older officers of the navy, told me what is the generally accepted opinlon in naval circles outside of the clique which is opposing Schley, as to the cause of the actions of the offizers whose criticlsms have brought about | the Inquiry. According to his story, several years ago Admiral Schley, while a captain, was at the head of a board whose duty it was to provide fittings and furniture for the ships. Some of the vessels had been fitted up regardless of cxpense, the chairs in the officers’ quarters being upholstered with velvet. When the pile wore from the velvet the officers made requisition for new chairs. Thelr requisitions were honored, but when the chairs were received they were uphol- stered in material having no pile; something more serviceable, but not o attractive When the same class of officers made requi- sition for now portierres and hangings for thelr staterooms they received good ma- terlal, but it was of a character which ap- pealed to the sense of economy rather than to that of luxury. The officers felt person- ally insulted and appealed to the hoard for the material they had been given before. | This appeal was met by an answer from Schley, who told them that as long as he remained at the head of the board, service and not appearance would be the chief qual- ity noticeable in the furnishings provided for vessels. This ended the incident for the time, but later some of these officers be- came powerful in naval affairs, and as soon as the opportunity offered they attempted to show thelr power to the officer who had fncurred their {1l will. 1t looks like a child- ish story, but from the appearance of the officers opposed to Schley and the impres- slon they made upon me, it seems to be in keeping with their character. “When 1 left Washington they were tell- ing a good story which shows the trouble President Roosevelt is having with office seekers who hope to obtain office through their alleged standing with President Mc- Kinley. As the story goes, a party from Illinols called with Senator Cullom to ob- tain for one of the mumber a consulate in Germany. The senator had ocoached the friend of the applicant and told him to let the president and the senator do the talk- ing. When the party was introduced the applicant seemed to make a favorable im- pression on the president and all went well until the friend of the applicant remarked: ‘Mr. President, my friend here had a posi- tive assurance from President McKinley that he would be appointed.’ The presi- dent’s face hardened, but he said nothing, and the subject was changed. Just before they left the friend again remarked: ‘But, Mr. President, you have not sald that you would appolut my friend and I told you he had a positive promige of appointment from Mr. McKinley." The president snapped his teeth and arose from his seat saying: ‘Your friend is the seventh man who has given me assurance that he had a personal prom- ise from Mr. McKinley for this particular position. I have nothing more to say on the subject, and he turned his back upon the visitors as they left the room."

PERSONAL ENCOUNTER BARELY AVERTED Peruvian Delegnte s Rel Through— hut offer Goes President's Intervent Checks the Colloquy. MEXICO CITY, Oct. 81.—~The Pan fean congress has received from the Span- ish colony at Buenos Ayres a cablegram congratulating it on the sentiments favor- able to Spain, expressed by General Rafael Reyes, delegate of Colombla, at the mu nicipal banquet : The session this morning, which finally resulted in the admission of the members Am of the press to the sessions of the con- gress, was very interesting. The first proposition submitted was that of Peru, whose delegates asked that as many of the press representatives as the hall would hold be admitted, their number being left to the discretion of tho president of the congress. This proposition was rejected by the votes of Chili, Colombia, Uruguay, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Hayti, Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, twelve votes against seven, differing slightly from that of Peru, was taken up. It had been expected that Peru and its allies would vote against Chili's proposal, which, united to the votes of the delegates hostile to the admission of the press in any form, would have defeated it, thus excluding newspaper representa- tives. However, Senor Alzamora of Peru sup- ported Chili's proposal, saying: ‘“‘We con- sider principle, not persons.’ Senor Carbo of Ecuador jumped to his feet and said that the last expression was a reflection on the other delegations and called on Alzamora to withdraw his words. Alzamora declined and the incident was assuming a somewhat threatening charac ter when the president of the congress, Senor Raigosa, intervened, saying that he saw nothing censurable in Alzamora' words. Chill's proposal, owing to the action of Peru, was adopted. There are those here, however, who say that Chili's real object was to defeat the admission of ‘the press and that Peru's stand was a great surprise to Chili.
