ADMIRAL SCHLEY IN TEARS WHEN THE PRAISE _ OF HIS CONDUCT AT SANTIAGO IS SPOKEN + ASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—The climax of the Schley court of inquiry came this afternoon, when Mr. Raynor, the chief counsel for Admiral Schley, concluded a brilliant argument of over three hours with a peroration so eloquent and impassioned that all within sound of his voice were profoundly touched. This remarkable trial, he said, sought to condemn the man who had brought to a successful termination as great a navall triumph as was ever won. 1In vivid colors he painted the picture of the Brooklyn, with Commodore Schley on the bridge, fighting the entire Spanish fleet until the Oregon appeared out of the smoke. The thunders of the Brooklyn, music for the ears of his countrymen, he sald, aroused Admiral Schley’s envious foes. He pic- tured the victoridus saijor suffering as few have suffered for three long years while the fires of persecution leaped around him and now awaiting the hour of his vindication in the verdict of the court. “And when it comes,” he concluded, “he can, from the high and exalted position that he occupies, 100k dowh upon nis tra- ducers ¥nd maligners and with pride ex- claim:” ‘I care not for the venomous gos- sip 0f clubs, drawing-rooms and cliques a)d the poisoned shafts of envy an malice. I await untier the guidance of Divine Providence the verdict of pos- terity.” * Impressive Scene in Court. The scene in the court room as he fin- ished with these words was thriiumng. The attendance had been large ail day and at the morning session a iudy had tainted from excitement. As Mr. Kaynor pegan is euiogy of Admiral Scnley those in the | audience, many .of whom were ladies, leaned forward in their seats. The spell of his oratory was over them and wnen he and the jong pers been subjected many and wept. The members of the court displas described “the admiral’s gallant deeds | ution to which he had of them broke down d evi- dence of emotion and Admiral Schiey him- self was plainly moved. He sat lean back with his hands behind his head chin twitched and as his counsel s could afford to await the verc f terity tears rolle own_ his < moved uneasily to conceal his emotion and, under the pretense of adjusting hi giasses, brushed the tears aside. For fu thirty after Mr. Raynor closed there was not a sound. Then the ten- sion broke in a loud burst of applause. Ad al Dewey, after about a half min- ute, arose to remind the spectators that ch a demonstration was out of place. A moment afterward the court adjourned, the judge advocate pleading that he could not well go on to-day. Then 2 remarkable thing happened. As soon as the gavel fell the entire audience surged forward to shake the hands of Admiral Schley and Mr. Rayner.y But the on-coming spectators fell back 4 moment as they saw Admiral Dewey and his two assistants move around the table, as if a common impulse, and congratulate imiral Schley and his counsel. Even Captain Lem the judge advocate, joined in the congratulations. Then the blic had its inning and for fifteen min- utes after the court adjourned Admiral Schley and Mr. Raynor were kept busy haking hands. Argument for Schley. Raynor's argument consumed the whole day of the court, except for a_half hour opening which Captain Parker, his associate counsel, occupied in concluding. aynor took up the specifications one by reserving those relating to the retro- movement until the last. So far was able to do so he used the tes- of the department’s witnesses to ontentions. With regard to the de movement, which he discussed ater seriousness than the other justification 1l of Admiral Schléy's reasons Spanish fleet was not in 1t argued that every officer taxed with the responsibility of command necessarily m be clothed with discre- tion in carrying out instructions. He dis- ved good temper in adverting to the stimo! of most of the officers, especial- the ranking office who seemed to contradict his ease, giving them in each case credit for honesty of purpose. But with a few he dealt unsparingly. Wood, Potts and Bristol he held up to ridicule. Captain Lemly will begin the closing ar- gument to-morrow afternoon, as the court not onl for believin, will not hold a session to-morrow morn- i s e n B CONTROVERSY IN COURT.

GOOD LIVING Quite often results in bad health, because what is termed “good living” is usually the gratification of the palate without reference to the nutrition of the body. When the good liver is a business man and rises from a full meal to plunge | at once into work requiring mental effort the result is almost sure to be disastrous, because digestion draws upon the same nervous forces which are em- ployed in thought. In time the stom- ach becomes dis- eased, the pro- cesses of digestion and lr-xfmriltic‘n are imperfectly per- fon’:ed and there is a physical breakdown.

Attorney for the Distingu'shed Naval Off cer Delivers an Exceedingiy Impressive Ad- * dress Before the Court of Inquiry - -+ Captain Parker sald he did mot know how the alleged controversy over the danger of colliding with the Texas started except from the story told by the captain of the Iowa. Captain Parker was sarcastic in his allusion to Captain Evans’ alleged statement regarding the damage he had done to the Spanish ships. Captain Parker concluded with a glowing trib. ute to Admiral Schiey. Raynor began his argument at 11:2 a. m. He paid a compliment to Judge Advocate Lem- ly and his assistant, Mr. Hanna, for the ‘“most judicial impartiality with which they have managed this case.’”” He then made a plea for the consideration of questions from what was at that time Commodore Schley’s point of view. 8 “Let us,” he sald, “put ourselves in his place and’ see what ‘the circumstances were. Ve 2l know what it would have been Wise o do." The “Dear Schley” Letter. ..Discussing dispatch No. 7, known as the ‘Dear Schiey”’ letter, Raynor contended that the order conveyed in that message made it incumbent upon Commodore Schley to remain at Cienfuegos. He declared that this was the key to the whole case and that it did not admit of any other construction than that Commodore Schley should remain at Cienfuegos. In support of this contention he read the de- partment’s order to Admiral Sampson. He then took up the McCalla_memorandum, the message delivered by the Eagle to Com- modore Schley and the testimony o Lieutenant Hood and declared that Admiral Schiey was the victim of an untortunate combination of circumstances that left him in total darkness as to the location of the Spanish fleet. Concerning the question of coaling at sea Raynor read the testimony of several witnesses to prove the great difficulties such a task in- volved. He said that all they wanted'to prove was that Admiral Schley was honest when he informed the department of his increased anx- iety regarding the coal supply and that he acted according to the dictates of his own con- science. He was prepared to prove that one ship could not have followed the Spanish flzet six hours and have had enough coal left to re- turn to Key West. Coming to the reconnoissance of May 31 Ray- nor contended that it had been Commodore Schley's chief intention to develop the Spanish land batteries and in this he said he had been eminently successiul. He claimed that the man who was in command at such a time should be given great discretion, for he must neces- sarily know more of the situation than the gentiemen who snake out battle plans at home on charts with compass and pencil and direct other people thousands of miles away how to fight a battle. Raynor referred satirically to the testimony of Lieutenant Bristol, saying among other things: “‘His vision was a divine inspiration. Se tants and stadimeters, compass bearings, Gov- ernment measurements and_hydrographic plats were all dim and obscure in comparison With the miraculous power of his unaided vision, which lit up and illuminated the entire har- bors of Cienfuegos and Santiago, with the un- erring precision of the morning . sunbeams. Government experts with mathematical accu- racy had measured the height of Morro Castle and Zocapa battery, but down they went one hundred feet when ‘they encountered Bristol's miraculous_eve."” Raynor next came to the consideration of Ad- miral Sampson’s interview with the commander of the flying squadron, especially referring to Admiral Schley’s testimony relative to the di- rections of Admiral Sampson, with reference to attacks upon land batteries. He also re- ferred to Captain Chadwick’s testimony in this connection. Raynor said he thought that Captain Chad- wick had been forgetful, but, that no charge could be made against him on' that score. Ad- miral Schley, however, who had given positive testimony, Would be guilty of perjury if his statement was not true. “They must have talked about something," he said, “'and what would they be more likely to have discussed than the guns on the south coast of Cuba, Schley was then bound?" Reverting to the blockade of Clenfuegos, Raynor said Captain McCalla had admitted the stand that he himself had disobeyed orders in not leaving the Eagle off that port when he left for Key West. He did not, he said, mean to criticize Captain McCalla, but if he was not ‘to be censured for disobedience of whither Commodore grders why, he asked, should Admiral Schley After luncheon Raynor discussed the ninth specification which dealt with the loop of the Brooklyn on July 3 and the possibility of col- liding with the Texas. Raynor said he stool upon the testimony of Captain Cook, who, all things taken together, had the best oppor- tunity to give all the information about the loop.” What might have happened had the Brooklyn turned to port was purely a matter of conjecture. The turn in the other .direction was completely successful. It was intimated that the turn to the southward would have been to get away from the enemy, yet it was an undisputable fact that the turn had brought the Brookiyn closer to the Spanish fleet and that she received thirty of the forty-three shots which struck the American ships. Captain Cook’s testimony, he said, illumined this maneuver, and he planted himself upon this test.mony. Raynor then discussed the testimony of Heil- ner and Hodgson, and in this connection ridi- culed the chart prepared by the navigators of the ships In_the battle. He then took up specification No, 10, concerning the Hodgson controversy. He said he would not_ undertuke the task of extricating Lieutenant Commande: Hodgson from his predicament. He read por- tions of Hodgson's testimony and again fell back upon Captain Cook's testimony as deci- sie of the point at issue. Captain Cook had, sald Raynor, stated that the danger of a coi- lision had never entered his head. Referring to this testimony, he said: “You cannot impeach him. If I had my way 1 must say I think I would have rested this case when Captain Cook's testimony was done. I did not do S0 because the admiral wanted to take the stand in his own vindi- cation.” No one, he said, had Intended to attack Hodg- scn, but the entire controversy was Hodgson's own fault. ““There has been too much magazine and too much gossip,’”’ he said. ‘‘Imag.ne such a conversation between the commanding offi- cer of a great fleet and a subordinate officer at such a time. Even if Commodore Schley had said ‘Damn the Texas,’ ' continued Ray- nor, “it would not have been such a' serious maiter, as it could not have been meant seri- ously. Down in Ann Arundel County, Mary- ! land, they use such language in salutation, saying ‘Damn you, bow are you this morn- !ing? . But the trouble was, he sald, that the public did not have the proper conception of the occurrence as reported, but had gath- ered the idea that the Brooklyn was running away frcm the scene of conflict. ~Admiral | Schiey had denled the reported colloquy, he said, But not until after it had done him great injury. Raynor then took up the first specification— Admiral Schley’s conduct during the campaign. “Now we come to Mr. \Woods and Mr. Potts,” ho said, Mr. Potts and Mr. Woods; Mr. Woods and Mr. Potts.”” (Laughter in the court.) After reading the testimony of several offl- cers as to the splendid bearing of Admiral Schley, Raynor read the testimony of Potts to the effect that the admiral appeared nervous, “that he got up and sat dow Raynor pro- ceeded to_ridicule Potts as ‘“that precocious cnild of the kindergarten, who confessed that he was always scared when he was in battle, but who, unfortunately, was never engaged in any battle sufficient enough even to arouse his timidity."" Lemly Makes Protest.- At this point Captain Lemly protested against Raynor's strictures of Lieutenant Commander Pott: ‘ounsel is traducing the reputation of an officer of ability and high standing,” sald Cap- tain Lemly. Raynor replied: “You have no right to tra- duce the reputation of Admiral Schley.” Captain Leml!y—I do not think that counsel should say that this is an attempt to traduce Admiral Schley. I am not here because 1 want- ed to be, but because it was my duty. I was Grdered fo come and I think it is unjust and shows how utterly unreliable he is in his state- ments. Raynor—I do not think the court will permit this. You must not make a statement of that sort. I will not permit it. Admiral Dewey—No. Raynor—He is not only very unreliable, but very offensive. Captain Lemly—Counsel gets up and says that we are, in our discharge of a most painful duty, trying to traduce Admiral Schley. L e e i i i i i e S i R R Y ) FRANGE'S STAND 15 SATISFAGTORY Grievances Against Tur- key Accumulate for Many Years. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—France has officially communicated to the United States an explanation of her purposes in occupying the :sland of Mitylene, belong- ing to Turkey. This explanation was made to-day to Secrctary Hay by M. de Mar- gerie, Charge d'Affaires of the French Government, and as stated by that diplo- mat it is so convincing and ciear as to ef- fectually remove any misgivings which may have been entertainea by the: Presi- dent and Hay regarding the intentions of France. 4 It is learned authoritatively thdat M. de Margerie explained that in occupying the 1siand "of Mitylene krance has uo inten- ton of permanently holaing ‘Lurkish ter- ritory. A aue regard for her interests in the Urient compeiled her to take this az- tion. "he justice of her claims has been repeatedly recognized by the Sublime Yorte. Some oI them arose out of inci- dents which occurred twenty-nve years 4go. ‘They were dipiomatically presente 10 the Suitan with the necessary proof. M. de Margerie himseif, who was sta- tioned in Constantinople for ten years, was engaged in_nogotiations for their settle- ment. The Sultan agreed to pay but failed ' to keep his engagements. ‘L'he matter reached a stage where French dignity could no longer permit evasion. As a sign ot her displeasureand in the 10pe of caus- ing the execution of the Turkisn promises the ¥French Embassador in Constantinople was withdrawn. Two months passed an 1 the Sultan still failed to meet his admi‘- ted obligations. Has Important Interests. France has important interests in Tur- key, religious and otherwise. French mis- slons, French schools, hospitals, etc., are established there. 1In order to insure their protection in tne future and to maintain French prestige it was necessary to com- pel a settlement of the claims. France had no desire to precipitate conflicts with other powers. So instead of landing troops on the mainland of Turkey she deter- mined to occupy an island belonging to the Porte. France feels, and it is sail here justly, that she sbouid be reimbursed for the expenscs which she has incurred in dispatching a force to Mitylene, and that as compensation for the trouble to which she has teen put the Sultan shouid definitely fix the status of certain French establishments within his territory. When these demands are complied with France will withdraw from Mitylene. By reason of his service in Constantino- ple M. de Margerie was able to fully ex- plain the causes which led to the action of his Government. One result, and a | very important one, of the French policy will be, it is believed, to cause Turkey hereafter to meet her obligations, and it is pointed out that should an indemnity be demanded for Miss Stone the Porte will show a disposition to meet the de mand more expeditiously than it would have done before the French demonstra- tion. In view of M. de Margerie's expla- rnation the authorities are confirmed in their purpose not to send warships to Turkey. Landing Not Yet Made. PARIS, Nov. 6.—A dispatch from Ad- miral Caillard received here to-night, but dated this morning, announces that his sauadron is still lving before the island of Mitylene. No landing has yet been ef- fected. A heavy sea is running. A dispatch from Constantinople reports that the Ministers held an unusual meet- ing this afternoon for the purpose of ex- amining the propositions submifted by the (‘nunflflor of the Freich legation, M. Bapst. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 6.—The POLICE FIND ~ OTOLEN NOTES Loot From Great North- ern Train Rcbbery Recovered. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 6.—The police have i custody at the Four Courts a man and a woman suspected of complicity in the roh- bery of an express car on the Great Northern Rallroad near Wagner, Mont , July 30 last, when the safe was blown open with dynamite and a consignment of unsigned notes for the National Bank of Helena, Mont., amounting to between $50,000 and $100000 was stolen. Of this amount $5500 in new notes of the Helent bank were recovered, having been founl in the possesion of the man and woman, who were registered at the Laclede Hotel as' Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Rose. They ar- rived at the hotel last ¥Friday ana an- nounced that their stay in the city wouid probably last several weeks. Last night the man was taken into cus- tody and to-day the woman was arrested just as she was about to leave the city. Thelr arrests followed the passage of sev- eral notes of the Helena National Bank that were supposed to have been sto.en and the signatures forged. Both prison- ers were taken before Chief Desmond to- day and ‘‘sweated.” 2 A photograph of the man was taken and measuremcents made according to the Bertillon system. Through these and cir- culars giving a description of the rob- bers the police identified Rose as Harry Loughbaugh, alias “Kid” Loughbaugh, alias Harry Alonzo. Lilllan Rose is the name given by the woman. Both prisoners were examined, but very little was learned from either. Late this afteraoon Loughbaugh admitte i to Chlef Desmond, under the sweating process, that all of the money, $8500, taken from him amd Lillian Ros: belonged to him, but he would not say where he ob- tained it. This money has been identifie from description as part of the loot of the Great Northern train robbery in Montana July 30 last. | GEARY WILL HEAD SONOMA DELEGATION Ex-Congressman a Candidate for Chairman of the Anti-Chinese Convention.

M. Bapst has forwarded Lhe communication to Paris. - e Raynor—I have borne willing testimony to the impartiality with which he has tried his case and the delicate position he occupies. But I do ask my brother not to get\up and contradict me and say that } am unrelfable when I read the testimony that sustains e. 1 appreciate the position he is in. He has filled that posi- tion as well and faithfully as it could possibly be filled by any one. I have not said a word in criticism of his conduct. It is only when he refers to my traducing an officer that I have the same right to refer to his traducing Ad- miral Schiey. Admiral Dewey—The court of course will read all the testimony that has been given. We will be governed by the testimony. We know ex- actly what Lieutenant Commander Potts sfiid. He said he was scared, but counsel did enldtge a little on ‘t. Raynor took up the other specificgtions and reviewed the testimony of the various wit- nesses against Admiral Schley. He closed as follows: *'I now have briefly presented this case as it appears to me in its general outline. Such a trial as this has never to my knowledge taken fllce in the history of the world. It seem 0o my mind that this case had hardly opene with the testimony of Captain Higginson when it commenced to totter, and from day to day its visionary fabric dissolved from view. When Captain Cook, their last witness, was put upon the stand the entire structure ccllapsed, and it was when the witnesses from our own ships and the gallant captain and crew of the Oregon and Admiral Schley had narrated their unvar- nished tale that the whole tenement, with all of its compartments, from its foundation to its turret, has disintegrated and lies here like a mass of blackened ruins. Threc Years for Truth. "It has taken three vears to reveal the truth. There is not a sngle word that has fallen from the tongue of a single witness, friend or foe, that casts the shadow of a_ re- flection tpon the honored name of the hero of Santiago. He has never claimed the glory of that day. No word to this effect has ever gone forth from him to_.the American people. The valiant Cook, the heroic Clark, the la- mented Philip, the intrepid and undaunted Wainwright and all the other captains and every man at every gun and every soul on board of every ship are equal participants with Admiral Schley in the honor wrought upon that immortal day. We cannot strike down his flgure standing upon the bridge of the Brooklyn. There he stands upon the bridge of the Brooklyn, his ship almost alone, and recefving the entire fire of the Spanish foe until the Oregon, as if upon the wings of lightning, sped into the thickness of this mortal carnage. ‘*God bless the Oregon!" was the cheer that rang from deck to deck. and on they went, twin brothers in the chase. until the lee gun was fired from the Cristobal Colon and the despotic colors of Srain were swept from the face of her ancient possessions. ‘Well done; congratulate you on the vietory,’ was. the streamer that was bent from the halyard of the Brooklyn, and from that day to this no man has ever heard from Admiral Schley the elightest whisper or intimation that he usurped the glory of that imperishable hcur. The thunders of the Brooklyn as she trem- bled on the waves have been discordant music to the ears of envious foes, but they have plerced with a rinzing melody the ears of his countrymen and struck a responsive chord at the fireside of every American home. And what is more than all which has been re- vealed in this case, as matchless as Is his courage and as unsullied as is his honor, is his beautiful character and the generous spirit that animates his soul and the for- giving heart that beats witlitn- his hosom. Yes. we cannot strike him down. Erect he nds as the McGregor when he stepped on s native heather and his eve was on the peak Ben Lomond.

AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 6.—Henry T. Jack- son, who left here three months ago on a mining expedition to the Yaqui gold ccuntry. returned- to-day. He says that the Yaqul Indians in the State of Sonora, Mexico, have secured a new supply.of arms ard ammunition and that the war against the Mexican authorities has been resumed on a more vigorous scale than ever before. The Indians have had several engage- ments with the Mexican troops near Torin anc¢ a number of small scouting parties of government troops have been cut off by superior forces of Indians and massacred. Jackson says that although none of the American mining men in the Yaqui val- ley have been molested by the Indians, there is much uneasiness, and some of the prospectors have moved out of the country, abandoning their claims. It is re- ported that the Yaquis secured their new supply of arms and ammunition througn u junta which they have established in San Francisco. HUTIN OFFERS 10 ‘SELI. THE PANAMA CANAL Submits a Proposition to Admiral ‘Walker, Head of the Isthmian Commission. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—President Hu. tin of the Panama Canal Company finally has submitted to Admiral Walker, the head of the Isthmian Canal Commission. a proposition on behalf of his company for the acquisition of all its rights by th> United States Government. Tne Panama company has been restrained up to this moment from submitting a direct proposi- tion owing to o clause in the concession which it holds from the Government of Colombia which prescribes forfeiture of the concession as a penalty for the mak- ing of an effort by the company to trans- fer its rights to another Government. The company’s agents here have been obliged to act with extreme caution n making overtures, but in some way the Colombian Government has been induced to wink at this technical violation of the concession. Its terms are not yet dis- closed and it is probable that they wi'l rot be until the Isthmian Canal Commis- sion publishes its report. It is under- stood, however, that they are considera- bly more favorable to this Government than the figures made to the Presidert want to strike him down nor cast a blur on the pure escutcheon of his honored name. ““For three long vears he has suffered. and now, thank God. the hour of his vindication has ‘come. With composure, with resignation, with supreme and unfaltering fortitude, he awaits " the judgment of this illustrious tribunal, and when the deliverance comes he cen, from the high and exalted position that he occupies, look down unon his traducers and maligners and with exultant pride exclaim: ‘I care not for the venomous gossip of clubs and drawing-rooms and cliques and cabals | and the polsoned chafts of envy and of malice, T awalt, under the guidance of di- vine Providence, ‘the verdict of posterity.’ " Raynor closed at 3:3) o'clock, having spo- ken ‘about three hours. The large audienca broke into applause when he concluded. and the members of the court. as well as others, congratulated him upon his speech. Admiral Schley was visibly affected by the conelud- ing remarks and attending scenes. The court adjourned until 2 p. m. to-morrow, when Cap- tain Lemly will deliver the closing argument for tte Goverrment. three years ago. e -—— Police Arrest Alleged Swindler.
