RECORD IS WHOLLY ANOWN Court i New Fully Informed in Matter of Bohley's Conduos ARGUMENT WILL FOLLOW THE TESTIMONY Seventeen Hundred Pa Filled with Evidence and Court Will Cone sume Much Time in Con- sidering It, WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—The hands of the elongated, antiquated timeplece walch stands against the wall of the hall occupled by the Schley court of Inquiry pointed to 12:456 today when Judge Advocate Lemly Announced that he had no more witnesses to call and Mr. Rayner, following him, said no witnesses would be summoned in behalt of Admiral Schley in sur-rebuttal. For a moment it appeared as it the now famous case was about to reach a sudden conclusion, but this delusion was soon dle- slpated by the announcement on the part of Captain Lemly that he might ask to be al- lowed to bring in one more witness on Monday, and also a statement from Mr. Rayner that Admiral Schley himself would desire to return to the stand on Monday to correct errors in his evidence as officially reported. There fa a probability that the admiral will consume considerable time in golng over the printed record of what he sald, and there is 0 an understanding that he will make some additions to his former Statements. But it is not belleved that be- yond what he may have to say there will be much more Imony taken In the case. The only witness that the judge advocate ®till has In mind s Licutenant Strauss, and Captain Lemly sald today that if the lleutenant's attendance could be secured he would detaln the court for a short time only, A ments Are to Follow, Captaiu Sigsbee will also return to the stand Monday to make corrections in the testimony given yesterday by him. These detalls completed, arguments by counsel will begin and the public will withdraw and leave the court to its dellberations. k before the court {s not a light one and it may be weeks before the final verdict will be reached. Today's witnesses were Sylvester Scovel, a former newspaper correspondent, who saw service in the Cuban campaig tenant Hood, who commanded Hawk during the Spunish war, and also a number of officers who were heard yesterday and who returned to the stand to correct their tes- timony, The court had only one session and ad- Journed over to Monday. The attendance today was the smallest since the sessions began. Comparatively few of the reserved seats were occupled at the beginning of toda. sitting, and Lieutenant Crawford, Admiral Dewey's private secretary, who has handled the distribution of tickets with rare tact, invited those present to the front when he discovered that the seats would not be occupled by ticket holders, thus giving the court an audience and at the same time affording the chance visitors an opportunity to hear the proceeding: Court Will Take Its Time. How long the court may take to consider the evidence is entirely problematical. The members of the tribunal are evidently pre- paring to devote considerable time to the consideration of the testimony, for they have taken rooms in the city for this pur- pose. The testimony covers 1,600 printed pages and the court sat thirty-six days in listening to it. With the additions yet to be made {u the way of argument and docu- ments the record probably will run over 1,700 pags The court was eix minutes late in enter- ing the hall today, this being the first time that absolute promptness has not been ob- served. Judge Advocate Lemly announced that counsel had agreed on the order of speech in closing the case, subject to the sanction of the court. Mr. Hanna is to open for the department. He will be fol- lowed by Captain Parker and Mr. Rayner for Admiral Schley, and Judge Advocate Lemly will close for the department. Ad- miral Dewey announced that this arrange. ment wae satisfactory to the court. Captain Lemly then brought up the ques- tlon of the character of the argument to be made, sayin “I would llke, for my own information, to ask the instructions of the court as to whether we are to be ex- pected In the closing arguments to confine ourselves to the evidence and to the scope of the precept as defined by the court. I mean the arguments made both by counsel for the applicant and by my assoclate and myself?"" Like Any Other Court, Mr. Rayner—We have to confine ourselves to the evidence, but I do not want to be entirely restricted. We cannot allude to any facts that are not In the evidence, but we will in making our allusion to it be very respectful and within proper bounds. Captain Lemly—I think that should be the general scope of the argument. The court has defined the scope of the precept, but of course we could not undertake. and the court won't undertake, to restrict our- selves, entirely, I assume, In stating just exactly the word and the manner and eo on. That would be a question which at the time they would have to say whether it was proper or not. Mr. Rayner—Of course, in making an )| argument we won't pretend to refer to any- thing not in the record. We are bound by that, but I do not want to have any more restrictions placed upon my argument than I would by any other court. 1 want the constitutional right to argue this o within proper bounds and with great re- spect to everybody concerned, but to make criticlsms as they appear proper to me, or to make comment. If I should find, for instance, that I belleved a witness had not told the truth, I should not hesitate to say s0. Captain Lemly—That is right. Admiral Dewey—There won't be any trouble about that. When we come to that bridge we will cross it. Scovil Did Not Hear It. Sylvester Scovil was theu called as the first witness of the day. He said that while on the prese boat Somers Smith a newspaper correspondent on May 27 or 28 it came up with St. Paul, on which Captain Sigsbee was In command, off the shore at Santiago. There was a conversation with Captaln Sigsbee through the megaghone and he himself had used the megaphone In conducting the Interview. ‘The witness sald the Somers N. Smith was about seventy-five or a hundred teet from St. Paul during the conversation. “Glve us as nearly as you can the words of that conversation,” said Captain Lemly. had been sent to find Commodore Schley, and the first question, of course, was ‘where is Schley?' and the answer from Sigsbee was ‘You will find him in the Yu- catan passage,’ and then, inasmuch as our boat was very slow, I asked him to advise me whether he thought we could catch (lom- modore Schley if we followed him and he stated ‘Yes.' ‘The second question was ‘Where Is Cer- vera? and in answer to that Captaln Sigs- bee did not speak for a moment. He con- sulted with somebody on the bridge of the ship and then answered, ‘I am not sure, but we caught English collier trying to sneak luto the barbor this mos=ing.' That was all the conversation I remembar to have had with Captain Sigsbee personally; other men on the boat had some conversation with him. " “DId Captain Sigsbee during any time ot the conversation inform you that the Span- ish squadron was not in Santiago?" “He dld not tell us that the Spaniardy were not In there On cross-examination Mr. Scovil sald that he had been at the megaphone a part of the time. He could not whether anyone else on board the press boat had talked asked Mr. Rayner, “‘are you pre- pared to say on your oath that no one on your boat asked Captaln Sigsbee whether Cervera was not in the harbor at Santlago?” “It \s possible,” was the reply, “that a conversation might have taken place on the part of some one else, but, as the Smith wa a small boat, and as conversation must necessarily be in a loud tone of volce, 1 think I would have heard it If there had been any." “Are you then prepared to say that the testimony of Mr. Hare, In which he sald that Captaln Sigsbee had sald that the Spanish were not at Santiago, Is false?" ‘No. 1 am pot prepared to say that his statement 1s false and that no such con- versation took place, but I can swear that nothing of the kind was sald while I was conducting the conversation, and I con- ducted the principal part of it. Mr. Scovil was the last witness and a number of the witnesses of yesterday were called for the purpose of making correc- tlons in thelr testimony. While Captain Eaton of Resolute was on the stand for this purpose Captaln Lemly asked him: “Which wuy was Brooklyn heading when you saw its funnels appear out of the smoke to the southward, as you stated yesterday?'* The Witness—About southwest, as 1 saw it nearly broadside on. He also sald that when h w Brooklyn making its turn “with comparative rapid- ity"” the turn had been nearly completed. Captaln Chadwick while under recall said In response to a question from Mr. Ray- ner that there had been a practical abroga- ytion by the Navy department of the pre- cautlonary orders concerning the bombard- ment of Spanish shore batteries in order to permit the bombardment of San Juan, Porto Rico. He added that in his opinion there had been a general abrogation of the order, but Mr. Rayner objected to the glving ot opinions, Lieutenant Hood Reecall Captaln Chadwick was then excused and Lieutenant John Hood, who commanded Hawk during the Spanish war, recalled. He was questioned on the point made by Admiral Schley in his testimony that the commanding officer of Dolphin had filed with the Navy department a memorandum in which he sald, speaking of Hood's re turn from his mission to Commodore Schley, while the latter lay off Clenfuegos: “‘Hood say 00d many officers do not be- lleve the Spaniards are there (at Cienfue« 808) at all, but they can only surmise.” In reply to a question as to what report he had made on which such a memorandum could have been based, the witness re- plied: “I reported to the commanding officer of Dolphin that I conversed with a number of officers; that I did not belleve myself nor did many of the officers be- lieve, as far as I could make out, that the Spaniards were there; that there was no reason for belleving they were there and that I thought Commodore Schley had con- vinced himself they were there on very lender grounds djourns with One Witn: Ahead. Mr. Hanna—DId you or not make any re- port to the commanding officer of Dolphin which would warrant the use of language embodied in that memorandum? “I did make such a report, one warrant- Ing etronger language than that.” Mr. Hanna-“How did you get the notes in reference to bearding Adula? “I never boarded Adula. I returned to the flagship Brooklyn after collecting the mail, under Commodore Schley's orders, about 11 o'clock. Just as I came on board I met Lieutenant Simpson of Brooklyn, who had boarded Adula and had his written re- port. I asked him to let me see it, as there might be valuable information in it, which he did. I then told him I wanted copy of it to take back to the admiral, there was, in my opinion, very valuable in- formatlon in it. Simpson and myself went to the executive officer's office and he read the notes over. He had the executive of- ficer's writer make a copy for me to take back to the admiral as valuable informa- tion, He had just come out from making his report to the commander of the flylng squadron. That, as quoted in the appendix, is an exact copy of Simpson’s boarding re- port to the commander-in-chiet of the fiy- ing squadron.” Lleutenant Hood sald In reply to a ques- tion from Mr. Rayner that he had not boarded Adula and that the notes which he had carried k to Dolphin were those made by Lieutenant Simpson. Lieutenant Hood was then excused and a number of telegrams and official dispatches which have heretofore been put in were in- troduced at this point for the convenlence of counsel. Captaln Lemly then stated that he had one more witness whom he desired to call on Monday, owing to the fact that he was too {ll to appear today, and It was also stated that Admiral Schley would then take the stand for the purpose of correct- ing his testimony. Mr. Rayner said he would have no more witnesses, except pos- #ibly the admiral himself. There belug no further busi the court, an adjournment w 12:46 untll Monday at 11 &, m.

Hart was a decided favorite before the fight began, but Reauzcholte made such a showing during the first five rounds that even money was offered that Hart would be knocked out.

PLANS FOR FOUR VESSELS ARE NOW READY Farther Need ia for Three Battleships, Three Armored Cruivers and For midable Fleet of Leaser Craft, WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—Over and above the four warships for which congress di- rected him last session to prepare plans A basis for appropriation at the next session, Becretary Long has before him the recommendations of the Board of Naval Construction, looking to authorization by congress of the bullding of forty more naval vessels of all classes, from battle- ships down to tugboats. The plans for the two armored crul and two battleships projected by cong) last session already have been prepared and look to the construction of about 16,000-ton battleships and 16,000-ton cruls- The battleships and crulsers, addi- tional to those which the construction board propos: probably will be of about the same size and general type. The board's complete plan Is for three olng battleships of about 16,000 tons dieplacement; three armored cruisers of about 14,600 tons displacement; six gun- boats of about 1,200 tons; six gunboats of about 600 tons; six gunboats of about 200 tons; two colllers of about 15,000 tons one repalr ship of about 7,500 tons; six training ships of about 2,000 tons; four picket boats of about 650 tons; four tug- boats. Propos s Not New, While the above appears to be a rtling amount of naval construction to recom- mend to congress, It Is stated that it is after all nearly a repetition of the program submitted to that body through Secretary Long by the construction board last year and is even smaller than the aggregate tonnage proposed to be authorized by the general board, In each case, it is explained, the recom- mendations are but the steps necessary to be taken to carry out the general policy of providing the United States with a modern navy of sufficlent strength and made up of harmonious unit: FAMINE IN SIGHT OF PLENTY High Tarl® Which Kept Gra Tangler is Removed Thro British Influence. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1,~The State de- partment has been Informed by Consul General Gummere at Tangler, under date of October 5, that the sultan of Morocco has decided to open the coast trade in his country so as to permit grain, fowls, vege- tables and other articles of food to be transported freely from port to port. Here- tofore there has been a tariff which pre- vented such trad The consul general says there have been times when y and wheat became so scarce at Tangler as to bring exorbitant prices, while further down the coast at Casa Blanca and Safl, where the land is remarkably fertile, grain was so che not to pay for the cost of its reaping and was allowed to rot on the fleld, yet not a bushel of it was permitted to be trans- ported to any other port by sea, the only practicable route.

Two Stores at Garf. TECUMSEH, Neb.,, Nov. 1.—(Special Tel- egram.)—The little town of Graf, elght miles east of here, was the scene of a dis- astrous fire this morning. At about § o'clock flames were discovered issuing from the rear of F. E. Toms' hardware and fur- niture store and in a few moments the whole bullding was ablaze. The fire soon extended to W. C. Corrington's general mer- chandise store and that also was quickly destroyed in spite of the efforts of the crowd. The origin of the fire {8 unknown. Mr. Toms lost his entire stock of hardware and furniture and a portion of his farm implements. His stock was valued at $3,600 and was insured for $2,000. The greater part of the Corrington stock was carried out, but his loss on building and goods 1s about $2,000 In excess of the insurance, which was $1,600. The people of Graf and vicinity fought the fire vigorously, but being without equipment they could mnot do much. Two Blocks in Unlontown, UNIONTOWN, Pa., Nov. 1.—A fire which started in Priceman's livery stable, near Pittsburg street, early today, destroyed ten bulldings, covering two blocks.

At 10 o'clock the fire was belleved to be under control, although It was breaking out at intervals with more or less Intensity, The extent of the fire Is attributed to scarcity of water, trom which this vielnity has been suffering for several months.

RANSOM MICHT NOT SAVE Mimsionaries Foar Brigands May Kill Stone After Payment. EUROPEANS CALCULATE COST CLOSELY nited States Government Wonders at Forelgn Pr Giving Such Prominence to the Financial Feature of the Case, SOFIA, Nov. 1.—The best method of trans- mitting the ransom demanded by the brigands for the release of Miss Ellen M. Btone, the abducted Americar missionary, and of assuring the safety of the captives aro the mattors nuw engaging the attention of Samakov missionaries, who negoti- ating with the kidnapers. It Is felt that unusual precautions are necessary in order to safeguard Miss Stone and the others, as there undoubtedly is danger that the cap- tives will be murdered after the ransom s pald. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—Some surprise is expressed here at the extent to which tl Question of indemnity in Miss Stone's case is belng discussed in the European papers. The United States so far has directed its efforts eolely to the procurement of Mi Stone's release and there is good reason for the statement that all other questions connected with the release, Including a pos- sible clalm for indemnity, have been re- garded as a secondary matter. This is al- most necesearily the case, owing to the fact that In its present light the State de- partment cannot place the responsibility for Miss Stone's capture and detention. Fur- ther evidence must be had on that point. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 1.—The negoti- ations with the captors of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, appear to be going on so successfully that her re. lease seems now to be only a matter of days.
