Stone leaked out. He says it is calculated to seriously affect, it not completely undo, the progress already achieved. On two previous occa- | sions negotiations with the brigands who abducted the American missionary were abruptly broken off by the former, owing to | the premature disclosure of its contents, | which the bandits regarded as being breach of the understanding with them Mr. Dickinson informed a representative of the Assoclated Press that it Is absolutely necessary, it Miss Stone is ever to be re- | leased, that the course of the negotiations | be kept secret. It is hopeless to expect the | brigands to place contidence in the negotia- tors when they find that information which they regard as secret is coustantly leaking out. RANSOM IS AGREED UPON All Detalls Except Manner and Place of Payment for Min Re- Said to Be Settled. Stone’ len SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. T.—Vesterday Mr Dickinson dispatched a messenger with a reply to the brigands’ proposals as formu- lated in Miss Stone's letter. It is under- 8tood that an agreement as to the amount of the ransom has been virtually estab- lished. The settlement as to the manner and place of payment and the surrender of the captives presents the most difficulty, but an entente is expected soon. The bri- gands are not willing to cross into Turkey to obtain the money, while the Bulgarian government would oppose releasing Mi Stone on Bulgarian soil. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7.-~No progress was reported today In connection with the rescue of Miss Stone. On the contrary, it appears that the negotiations have been temporarily suspended fsom the Bulgarian side. An effort will be made to resume them through Salonica. Mr. Eddy, secre- tary of the United States legation, is having | frequent interviews with Sir Nicholas O'Connor, the British ambassador, with a view to o resumption. He proposes to go to Thorapia for a few days, in order to be In close touch with the ambassador. INQUIRY AT AN END (Continued from First Page.) within the harbor. “The episode of the dove sent out from the ark was not re- peated with success,” he eaid. Considering the voyage from Clenfuegos Captain Lemly sald: “The commodore orders directed that he proceed with all di pateh, but cautiously, to Santlago. He cer- tainly proceeded slowly. But ‘“cautiously" did not weaken the force of the words, “all diepatch.” The great military necessity at this time was to find and check the enemy's fleet. Caution was needed lest it might pass undetected to Clenfuegos or lest it might be stumbled upon witholt prepara- tion, it neither carried lights. For these r @ the greatest caution demanded all dispatch because the timely reaching of Santiago limited to the utmost such chances. Certalnly the fiying squadron did not leave with dispatch or with cautlon, as shown particularly by the fact with re- gard to the latter condition, jthat it w using the ardois system of signals for hours after getting under way. It would ap- pear that there was littlo to prevent its departure for the eastward from being di covered and in due course communicated to Santiago. He admitted that the weather on the voyage was bad for the smaller ves- sels, particularly Eagle, and said that the epeed of the squadron was slowed in order that they might keep up. Retrograde Movement Taken. Continuing in this connection he sald: “It matters not what Captaln Sigsbee or Pilot Nunez told Commodore Schley. If Nunez exhibited no better acumen then than when before the court, the information he supplied should have been given little welght. Whatever opinion they may have given the commodere as to the presence of the Spanish squadron in the harbor of San- tiago (I believe that the captain never sald that the Spanish fleet was not thereln), the commodore was alone responsible for the retrograde movement. It was his duty to ascertain to a certainty whether the Spanish ships were In the harbor, an objigation | which no negative information of Captain | Sigsbee could remove or even modify. And it Is Inconceivable that a positive statement as to the contents of a harbor of the well known confirmation of Santiago could have been made by Sigsbee.” The details of the retrograde movement was rehearsed, as were those concerning the delivery of dispatches by the boat Har- vard and the proffer of Lieutenant Beale to go ashore and communicate with the Cuban insurgents. Captain Lemly contended that | the dispatch conveying positive information of the presence of the Spanlards must have been delivered to Commodore Schley, not- withstanding his denial, becwuse he con- sidered it ‘“inconcelvable that, having it, Captain Cotton should not have commu- nicated its contents to the commodore.” An Error of Conduct. Here Captain Lemly quoted in full Com- more Schley's “cannot obey orders” dis patch to the department of May and commented upon it by saying: ‘“Whether the department’s instructions definitely di- rected in positive terms that the squadron remain off Santlago or whether its desire that this should be done was simply*indi- cated, appears to me, under all the cir- cumstances, to be immaterial. Disobedience of orders may be an imperative and gloriove duty, but, it it be uot justified by the facts | it cannot be condoned by terming It an error of judgment This was not an error of judgment, it was an error of conduct.” Taking up the case with the testimony concerning the Interview between Admiral Bampson and Commodore Schley off Key West before the cruise to Cienfuegos, he sald: ' “Senior counsel has Indicated to the court certain considerations which should | be taken into account In giving relative weights to the testimony of Captaln Chad- wick and the applicant relative to the sub- ject matter of the conversation between Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley at Key West May 25 In connection with this the latter's statements about this mat- ter made at other times should he regarded and particularly his statement to the sen- e committee on naval affairs and the con sideration that at this time neither Ad- miral Sampson nor Commodore Schley nor Captain Chadwick had any notion the Spanith ships would go to Santiago. Rule Works HBoth Ways, 1 ask the court to apply to the applicant | (as & witness the well known rule referred | | | any possibility of endangering or delaying | to with so much fervor by senfor counsel that where two witnesses testify with re gard to the same matter and one of them remembers and the other merely does not remember the circumstances of the matter. or let us say the conversation, the evidence of him who remembers must be accepted If this be done, then there fg little left of the evidence given before this court by the applicant, particularly upon his cross-ex- amination.” Speaking of dispatch No. Schles” letter, he sald Mr. Rayner argued at length to show that order No. 7 was an order to remain at Clenfuegos we do absolutely 3 “Dear the This grant and we have never contended other- wike. Misunderstandings may have arisen As to our contention that a certain word chould be ‘Santiago.’ That word, how- ever, was not in connection With any order | to go there and the order is fully recog- nized as being an order to remafn at Clen- fuegos ‘Senlor counsel has asked how the addi tional copy of No. 7 got to Commodore Schley. We reply that we believe ft got to him most clearly by lowa. What did Commander Rodgers deliver If nct the sec ond copy of No. 7, since he testifics to the delivery of dispatches, and while there are no papers among Admiral Schley's cor spondence bearing the recelving mark of May 22, the receiving marks on the backs of letters No. 7 in Mr. Wells' handwriting are admittedly in error."” Speaking of the assertion that while off Cienfuegos Captain McCalla had made no cffort to communicate with the Cuban in- surgents, Captain Lemly said: Two Misstons Are Diverse. “There is no evidence of the fruitless at- tempt to communicate with the insurgents which Captain Parker speaks of. Both of counsel cite McCalla’s conduct in this in- stance as an explanation for Commodore Schley's making no effort to communicate with the insurgents. But when Commander McCalla was there it was simply to block- | ade; when Commodore Schley was there, | there was the additional question as to the whereabouts of the Spaniards.” Referring to the information given Com modore Schley by the scout boats upon the commodore's arrival off Santiago, May 26, Captain Lemly sald it was reported to him, as agreed by Captain Sigsbee and the com- modore, that nothing had been scen of the Spanish fleet. On this point he said “Some of the scouts had been off San- tlago since May 21. This Information of Sigsbee's, then, meant that if the Spanish squadron had been there in the first place it had not left. The dispatches will clearly show that there was no doubt as to the Spaniards having been at Santiago; the only doubt that ever existed was as to whether they had left. “It has been intimated by counsel that had the applicant been otherwise advised by Captain Sigsbee, or had he been in any way advised by Captain Wise, he might not have undertaken the retrograde move- ment, but both of these officers testify that when they came up with the flying squadron the retrograde movement was already be- gun and Sigsbee has testified that the questions principally discussed on board the flagship were not of the whercabouts of the Spanish fleet, but the quesiion of coaling. The dispatch sent on the morning of May 27 confirms this witness Advice Woul Be Presumption. “With a purpose so fixed in the commo- dore’s mind it is likely that advice on the part of Sigsbee and Wise to remain at Santlago would now be construed by coun- sel in the same manner in which they ap- pear to have regarded Hodgson's caution to Commodore Schley as to the proximity of Texas; in other words, it might now be construed as an unseemly protest, “As to the question of disobedience of orders,” sald Captain Lemly, “counsel has properly stated that a report that orders would be obeyed does not eonstitute disobedience. Commodore Schley’s conduct is belng scrutinized in the light of facts and not alone in the light of the state- ments he made concerning his intentions. Counsel has cited the disobedience of Nel- son, but at Copenhagen Nelson disobeyed | orders and went for the enemy. The ap- plicant’s disobedience, 1t proved, will be shown to be in delaylng in bringing him- self into the presence of the enemy." “Counsel,”" maid Captain Lemly, “have found themselves in the unfortumate posi- tion of being obliged to attack the testi- mony of many witnesses. As to these wit- nesses whose testimony has been assailed, either directly or indirectly, 1 do not deem it necessary to say anything in their behalf They are all officers of the navy in good standing; and the court has had full oppor- tunity to observe their manner on the stand. The principal crime lald against any of them 1s their youth and this they will eventually outgrow. It may be added that they range in years between 30 and 47. All of them a therefore, eligible in such qualification to election to the United States senate. More- over, they compare, man for man, more than favorably in this respect with the witnesses called for the applicant.” Speaking of the alleged colloguy on Brook- Iyn during the battle, Captain Lemly said: “As to the testimony upon the point whether this exchange of remarks really oc- curred, we have Hodgeon's sworn state- ment before this court, his statement in | the investigation before Captain Chadwick ond his several letters to the applicant in | which he adheres to the substantial accu- racy of the newspaper report as printed.” Texas Is Endangered Discussing Brooklyn's loop, Captain Lemly expressed the opinion, based upon evidence, that in turning to starboard, when all the other American vessels turned to port, Brooklyn endangered not only Texas, but other vessels as well. It was, he said, clearly established that Texas stopped and that v reversed one or both of its en- gines. The responsibility for this move, he argued, rested entirely upon Commodore Schley and it could not be delegated to any one by him as & squadron commander. “Captain Cook's evidence on this point scems, as a whole,” he sald, “to indicate that he considered himself in a naval duel and initiated the turn to starboard, with- out 80 much eking the commodore, within & few feet of him, whether he ap- | proved a step that favolved squadron move- | ments. This confirms the impression, upon | | which I have already enlarged, that the battle off Santlago was a captain's fight At best the loop was a tremendous risk | and, I submit, without adequate justifica- tlon.” Whatever the distance Brooklyn ran in | making this turn, he contended that it did turn from, instead of toward the enemy. “It would seem,” he said, “that it should | have adopted the other course, If not for | the purpose of placing Itself nearer Cer- | vera's ships, at least in order to escape the other vessels of our squadron.” | With the conclusion of Captain Lemly's | remarks the court at 3:45 p. m. adjourned | with the intention of holding no more pub- lic sessions.

All Shall Work Together. Ex-President Clevoland spoke of “The Obligations of National Co-Partnership, ' saying In part “The mest serious and persistent evil that disturbs co-operation among our people i found in the contentions and quarrels be- tween employers and employes. Surely as an original proposition there should be no antagonism in this country between labor and capital. On the contrary, they should be in one close alliance and friendship “Our institutions forbid that an explana- tion of such antagonism should be found In class jealousy and abuses. No American citizen was ever yet doomed by birth to a life of labor or poverty, and fortunes are the products of industry and fntelligent endeavor. Labor and capital touch and wingle so constantly and naturally among us that the laborer of today Is frequently the employer of labor tomorrow. They should always supplement each other us the warm rain supplements the fertile soll, to produce In joint contribution, an abun- dant store of the riches of nature. “I desire distinctly to disclaim any inten- tlon to suggest what may be the cause or causes of the dislocation which unfortu- nately so frequently occurs in the relation- ship of labor to capital. Whether it re- sults from unreasonable and irritating de- mands on the part of labor, or whether | our workingmen listen too credulously to malign counsels, or whether, again, the trouble arises from the greed and avarice of capital and of its immense aggregations, 1 do tot pretend to say. Perhaps all these have a share in creating the diffculty. Antagonism in Place of Unity. ““But there is antagonism in this relation- should be a generous unity of purpose. The situation itself proves that somewhere there are members of our partnership in American citizenship who act in violation of partnership duty, and I am sure that I venture nothing In making the assertion that the only remedy for this situation must be found in a re- turn to the observances of the law of American co-operation. This return will not be accomplished from nursing real or imaginary wrongs on the part of labor, nor by lordly and selfish arrogance on the part of capital. A beginning must be made by conspicuous examples of a recognition of the duty and obligations which are the con- ditions upon which the full enjoyment of our partnership advantages depends. These examples should induce conservative and tolerant * counsels; they should be promi- nently recognized and appreciated and con- stantly pressed upon the view of all who may be remiss in their obligations to American co-operation, whatever the scope and nature of these obligations may be. “Such an example is found in the estab- lishment and expansion of the Carnegie in- stitute. The library, the museum of na- tural bistory, exhibition of paintings, music, a school—these things constitute a mouument more enduring than brass. They highest duty, but point the way to the creation of such unification of American endeavor as must develop the most patri- otism. Those who love their country can- not do otherwise than fervently hope that the example nere exhibited may only Incite others to do llkewise."
