To use WESLEY CROSS, asked whether he did not make the state- e that he was informed the Spanish crui: would leave Curacao for Santlago. If Rear Admiral Sampson replies in the affirmative, as he is expected to do, the attention of the court will then be called to the fact that the commander in chief, with a formida- ble squadron, was on May 15 at Cape Haytien, Hayti, thé day on which Ad- miral Cervera left Curacao far Santiago. The admiral will be asked why he did not go directly to Santiago, where he could have intercepted the Spanish fleet before it entered the harbor on May 12. Regarding the character of the blockade that was made by Commodore Schley, nt- tention will be called to the size of the squadron which he commanded. Schley had six vessels, and It was advisable i he were to be in condition to defeat the enemy that he should keep his squadron well together, This, it is contended, was the reason why he always retained It in squadron formation: and why he retired a short dis- tance at night from the harbor. Admiral Sampson stated that the log of the Brooklyn shows that the squadron was at night twenty-elght miles to the southward of Santlago, The log of the Brooklyn will be produced to show that thlAn l‘sl not ':he é‘nsf*. i5ea etter has been recelved at the Nav: Department from Admiral Klmbe:ly}f asking to be excused from the Schley court of Inquiry on acount of the state of his health.

Captain James Parker, the former naval officer, who is acting as assistant counsel in the case for Admiral Schley, says that the letter was malled to Secretary Long at 6 o'clock Sunday evening. Captain Parker says that he, himself, deposited | the letter in a box at the general post- office, In the ordinary course of the malils the letter should have reached Sec- retary Long yesterday morning. The supposition at the Navy Department is that if Secretary Long received the let- ter he_took it with him on his departure from Washington this morning without making its contents known to the officials of the department. It is certaln that the letter of Admiral Schley comments upon the fifth specification of the precept and it is belleved makes certain sugges- tions regerding it.

Interesting Investigation Is Being Made at the Rookeries. d ol Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SANTA BARBARA, July 30.—Two Stanford University men, Snodgrass and E. C. Starks, are making an investigation | of the. local seal rookerles for the Gov- ernnfent, which may add volumes to the present knowledge of seals and the in- dustry of sealing. For some wezks they have been engaged in visiting the rookeries of San Miguel and Santa Cruz islands, two of the is- land chsh‘ which bounds the Santa Bar- bara Channel. It has been held that the seals were destroyers of edible fish and for this reason fishermen have regarded In former times all these -channel islands were inhabited by thousands of seals, but the ravages of the hunters have thinned them out until only a few rockeries remain. Hunters have been allowed to enter the rookeries at breeding time and wantonly kill them. The species which inhabit this coast have value of only about 75 cents per skin to the hunters, so that to make wages the slaughter must be wholesale. Sea- lions have also been destroyed. The work of the Stanford men has been to ascertain whether the seals were fish- eaters. For this purpose they chartered a schooner under Captain Vasquez of this port. They did not confine their search to one locality, but took seals from every part of the island where they are found. On their first voyage sixty-three were captured and killed for examination of their stomachs. Out of the sixty-three only three were found to contain edible fish. There were devil fish, squid and shell fish, discerned by microscopic analy- sis,.in the stomachs of the seals, but oth- er kinds were not there. This was taken a proof that the seal is not an enemy t a friend to the fisherman. In the stomach of one huge bull seal were found fifteen pieces of rock, each larger than a hen's egg. The Stanford men safled to-day for the lower end of Anacapa island, the farth- est island southeast In the chain. They will return here for supplies on Monday.

DR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis- courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid- neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble fas become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born L afflicted with weak kid- neys. If the child urin- — ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis- erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- cent and one dollar sizes.

Its tone and substance isfy the Ministers of the powers. The edict coincides with the demands on the subject formulated by United States Spe- cial Commissioner Rockhill, as a condi- tion of peace. The edict declares that foreign affairs will hereafter be the most important busi- ness of the Government, gives the For- eign Office precedence over the six old boards that previously outranked it and provides for the reception of the Ministers in the hall in which heretofore only near relatives of the Emperor have entered. It also provides for the entertainment of the Ministers by the Emperor at occa- sional banquets. The German Minister, Dr. Mumm von Schwarzenstein, is engaged in drafting a protocol providing for the punishment of Chinamen guilty of participation in the Boxer movement. A feature of this Is thas the number of culprits has dwindled frem 160 men_ originally named to nfty-four. This is due to the fact that in the major- ity of cases it has been found impossible to prove the guilg_of the accused. Bishop John Moore.
