A LONG SIEGE. I
That of Gibraltar Breaks tbe Record
of Modern Time.
Although by no means the most terri
ble, the last siege of Gibraltar, when
the Rock was held by a British garrison
under General Elliot against the com
bined efforts of the Spaniards and
French from July 5, 1779, to Nov. 26,
17S1, holds the record as the longest
important 6iege of modern times. The
fact that every now and again the gar
rison were able to add to their pro
visions by successful sorties, kept them
from succumbing to hunger, " but
scurvy claimed nearly 1,000 victims.
For weeks together over 6,000 shells
were thrown Into the town daily. A
curious point about this siege is that
the governor of Gibraltar, after having
done everything he could think of to
strengthen the fortifications, issued a
proclamation calling on any of the gar
rison who -had any schemes to propose
to call on him with them, as he did not
wish the Rock to fall when by listening
but a few minutes to a private individ

LONG'S ORDERS TO
ADMIRAL SAMPSON.
Introduced Yesterday as Evidence
in the Schley Naval Court
ol Inquiry.
BATTLE OF SANTIAGO AGAIN.
Three New Witnesses Introduced All Un-
friendly to Schley Lient. Commsn
der Potts Thought He Was Un
der Great Excitement.
, By Telegraph to the Morijilng Btair.
Washington, Oct 9. In the
Schley naval court of inquiry to-day
Lieutenant M. L. Bristol completed
his testimony, which was begun yes
day and three new witnesses were
introduced. They were Bear Admiral
Henry O. Taylor, who, as captain,
commanded the battleship Indiana
daring the war with Spain; Lieuten
ant Commander T. M. Potts, who was
navigator of the battleship Massachu
setts during that period and ' Lieuten
ant Edward F. Leiper, who was on
the New Orleans during the war, the
last named being still on the stand
when the court adjourned for the day-
During Commander Potts' examina
tion Mr.- Rayner secured permission
from the court to introduce as evi
dence the order of Secretary Long to
Admiral 8ampson, dated April 6tb, in
which he was admonished against the
exposure of the American vessels to
the fire of strongly fortified ports. The
paragraph in that order which he
especially wished to have considered
reads as follows:
"The department does not wish the
vessels of your squadron to be exposed
to the fire of the batteries at Havana,
Santiago, or other strongly fortified
ports in Cuba, unless the more form
idable Spanish vessels should take
refuge within those harbors. Even in
this case the department would sug
gest that a rigid blockade and employ
ment of our torpedo boats might ac
complish the desired object, viz: The
destruction of the enemy's vessels,
without subjecting unnecessarily our
own men-of-war to the fire Of the land
batteries." -
The dispatch also contains the fol
lowing order:
"The department further desires
that in case of war you will maintain
a strict blockade of Cuba, particularly
at the ports of Havana, Matanzas, and
if possible Santiago, Manzanillo and
Cienfuegos."
Lieutenant Bristol was questioned
by Mr. Rayner concerning the dis
tance out of the blockading ships at
Cienfuegos, but he declined to change
his estimate of yesterday that it was
from eight to ten miles distant from
tee harbor.
Mr. -Rayner read Commodore
Schley's report as to the blockade off
Cienfuegos, in which he said a line
of blockade was established about four
miles off shore, at Cienfuegos,' and
asked "that is not a correct statement
of the commodore's, is it!"
"The statements make are what I
thought and what I believe to be right.
I do not question other people's
words,"
Rear Admiral Taylor, in reply to a
question from the judge advocate as
to whether he had observed the posi
tion of the Brooklyn at the time of
tbe beginning of the battle, said:
"Just before the beginning of the
battle I did, and on two occasions
thereafter." . a
After the beginning of the battle,
please state where you observed the
Brooklyn, whether you noticed her
proximity to the Texas and what it
was "
"When the battle had been on
about ten or fifteen minutes my atten
tion was attracted to the Brooklyn by
signal officer, Captain Dawson. He
said to me that the Brooklyn must be
injured, or. words to that effect, as she
was dropping out of action. I ob
served the Brooklyn heading' appar
ently about south, or off shore.
"She was then on my port, half a
mile perhaps ahead of us, and at that
time a quarter of a mile outside of the
line of our column. She was not
turning as far as I could see. The
Texas was apparently lying still in the
water. I did not see whether she wa
backing or not The distance between
those two ships was impossible for me
to see, as they were too nearly in line
for me to judge of the distance be
tween them. A few minutes later my
attention was again turned to the
Brooklyn. She had then proceeded a
distance of not over two - miles and
not under one mile from the time I
had seen her first, and the second time
I saw her, as near as I could figure
out, one and a half miles seaward of
our column of , battle."
"Didycu observe whether there was
any attempt on the part of the Spanish
vessels to ram any of the vessels of the
American squadron!"
"I observed that there was no such
attempt."
Mr. Rayner began his cross exami
nation with an effort to introduce cer
tain signals which had passed between
the Indiana and Admiral Sampson's
flagship, the New York, in the early
morning of July 3rd, 1898. Captain
Lemly made immediate objection and
Mr. Rayner presented an earnest plea
to be allowed to read the signals. He
was not permitted at that time to do so.
but it is understood that the signal
which he desired to introduce as hav
ing been sent from the New York to
the Indiana was aaiea at o: a..
that H& and was an invitation ro
ik. flao-tthin to aecomnanv' her to
boney, while the response was a decl
fn An an. The admiral s inv
waited bv Captain
Chad wick and was as . follows: The
admiral wishes to know if you will
join him this morning in going to see
General 8hafter?" . .
To this Captain Taylor replied at
8:37: "Work aboard ship previously
going on prevents me from going with
you to day." - t '
Mr. Bay ner contended that the sig
nals were among the most important
occurrences of the day prior to the
time that the command of the fleet de
volved upon Commodore Schley.
Captain Lemly replied that under
previous rulings of the court the read
ing of the signals was clearly mad
mi8sable. He, however,' agreed that
he would consult with Mr. Rayner,
and that after this consultation, if tbe
question including the reading of tbe
signals should appear proper, Admiral
Tavlor could be recalled and 7 the
miration asked. To this Mr. Rayner
frnnnnntAd.
At the afternoon session of the cou
Aftmfral Tavlor said that on the morn
ing of tbe battle of July 3rd, the Indi-
had signalled: "The enemy is
ana naa Slgnaneu:
The 'Indiana was, he said, at that
time already cleared for action. He
had, he said, personally seen i the
Brooklyn while on her southern
detour commonly known as the loop.
Commander Potts said that during
the blockade of Santiago the distance
observed by the flying squadron was
from seven to nine miles from the
mouth of the harbor. At Cienfuegos
the distance out was from four to five
miles, with an increase of the distance
at night . , , -u
The witness said that he had been
on the Massachusetts on May 81st, the
day of the bombardment of the Colon,
when Commodore Schley used that
t easoi as mm nagsmp.
- Detailing Commodore Schley's con
versation on that occasion the witness
said: - . ; . . .:- .
- "Whfn Commodore Schley came
on boaid I heard him say, 'Higginson,
I am going in with you and the Iowa
ana pot zae uoion with your big guns.
I want to fire deliberately. Admiral
Sampson will be here to-morrow
morning and I wish to destroy the Co
lon, or words to that effect. After
that there was a conversation between
Commodore Schley and the command
ing officer of the ship as to when, we
would go in, and' it was determined
that we would allow the men to go to
dinner, and go in afterward, which we
did. Later on, about 1 o'clock, I think,
while en the port bridge just
abaft the pilot house,- I was pre
sent at a conversation between Com
modore Schley and Capt. Higginson
in which the question of where the
ship was to be fought was under dis
cussion. Commodore Schley asked
Captain Higginson what position he
intended to take. He replied, 'I
think the coriaing. tower.' Commo
dore Schley replied,NYes,think that
Ts wisest Shortly afterthwmmo
dore Schley and his staff! theptain
and myself went downCto the con
ning tower on tbe forward 13-inch
turret Commodore Schley, Com
mander Schroeder, I think Commo
dore Schley's personal staff and myself
were standing as the ship was standing
intoward the entrance. Commodore
Schley said in my hearing and pres
ence, 'Gentlemen, we are very con
spicuous objects here in white. I
think we had better get out of this.'
"Commodore Schlev - left the for
ward 13-inch turret and took his place
on the small platform on the leeside
of the conning tower." r
Captain Lemly "Did you hear any
lurtner conversation!" - -
"I heard the conversation when
Commodore Schley was leaving the
snip in wmcu he stated that be was
satisfied with the reconnoissance that
he had made in drawing the fire of the
batteries, or words to that effect."
Captain Lemly "What was the
bearing and manner of Commodore
Schley during the engagement of May
iJist to which you have already re
ferred!"
His bearing and manner was that of
a man who was suffering under ex
citement; mental excitement; of one
who had a disagreeable duty to per
form and performed it reluctantly and
tried to get through with it as soon as
he could."
Mr. Rayner then began his cross
examination :
"w no was tne captain or your
snip?" ne asked.
"Francis J. Higginson."
"I want to read you what Captain
Higginson says about Commodore
Schley's manner and bearing upon
that occasion, tie says 'his manner
was that of a commander-in-chief,
He left a different impression on your
mind from what he left on Captain
iUgginson's mind then!"
"Apparently." ?
Had Captain ..Higginson t opportu
nity to observe him on this occasion!"
"Not as well as I did."
"Why was that!"
"Because Captain HigginBon was in
the conning tower and I was outside."
"Did not Captain Higginson have
any conversation with the Commodore
at that time!"
"From time to time, yes."
"What do you mean by mental ex
citement!"
"I quoted conversations that I had,
The first thing was the apparent
anxiety of Commodore Schley about
using the conning tower. Secondly
his stating that at a distance of five or
six miles men standing on the forward
13-inch turret were conspicuous ob
jects." "Did the Commodore use the conn
ing tower!"
"I did not see the Commodore go
into the conning tower. To the best
of my knowledge and belief he did
not He was outside the conning
tower and between the conning tower
and the heavy plate that protects the
manhole in the conning tower. My
preconceived idea of Commodore
Schley, previous to that occasion, was
so entirely different from the impres
sion I received on that day, I con
cluded that he certainly was under a
tremendous mental strain."
"Have you any other facts from
which you base your statement to the
court that he was laboring under men
tal excitement except the facts which
have been given!"
"Yes. When Commodore Schley
came on board the Massachusetts he
stated in distinct terms that he was
going to destroy the Colon. The Colon
was not destroyed. When he left the
ship he called it a 'reconnoissance,'
drawing the fire of the batteries and
developing their weakness r or
strength."
"Do you gather from that that he
was laboring under great mental ex
citement!" "From that and from the circum
stances I have already stated from my
observation of him from the time he
came on board the ship until he left"
"Suppose you were made aware of
the fact that when he entered into that
engagement he was, under tbe reguia
tions of the navy, not to engage
shore batteries if there was any danger
of the shore batteries crippling the
shin, would you say. if you knew
of that that he was still laboring
under great mental excitement!"
"I cannot answer that"
fountain Lemlv objected to the in
troduction of the Navy Department's
orders as an evidence, but the court
WidAd that thev could be Dut in.
At tbe suggestion of Judge Advo
cate Lemly and in accordance with
the decision of the court, Mr. Rayner
hare formally introduced as evidence
the order from the Navy Department
concerning the exposure of the Amer
ican hinn to the fire of shore batteries.
Lieutenant Leiper described the
bombardment of the Colon, saying
that the first shot from the Massachu
BAtta had fallen short of the uoion,
Tham nAPA he said, no orders either
to fire at or make observations of
the batteries. He thought all the
Bhntu from the American ships had

Tbe Senator Story of a ThouKbtleaa
Aet Tha.it Barely Emped Resulting;
In a Traareay-4. Luelcr Bonn Into
the Air.. -. .
"More than 20 years ago," said the
senator in reminiscent mood, I was
doing clerical stunts at Hamilton, Nevn
ana having about as enjoyable an ex
istence as I have ever known, before
or since. The blue skies, the big moun
tains, the Invigorating air, the whole
some food and, the interesting people
all around me made my life about as
good as life ought to be this side of
the pearly portals.- My work was not
so confining that I could not get away
on. mountain walks pretty frequently,
and one day I Btarted out with my
dog for a turn up Mount Tom, Just be
yond the town. The main highway
leading Into the town from the west
passed along the side of this mountain
and on over a gap into the valley be
yond. "I had a particular object In. view,
and with my dog I wandered along up
the mountain, which was without vege
tation except a f uray thicket in places,
and the. surface was covered with
rocks of various sizes from a football
to a haystack. After awhile, for some
thing better to do, 1 began to roll the
stones down the mountain side, and it
rapidly developed into a most exciting
sport, for the mountain was steep and
the rocks went down with a whoop
and a hurrah that stirred the blood
to watch them as they bounded alongt
I never thought of the road passing
along about 1,000 feet down the hill,
and, as nobody happened to be going
by, my attention was not called to it
in that way, and I kept on.
"Naturally enough, my success with
the smaller stones made me ambitious,
and I essayed something larger. It
was a dandy, too, a great big, round
bowlder that would have weighed a
ton if It weighed a pound. It was a
Job to get it started, but by pulling
the rocks from under it on the lower
side and loosening it up all around I
got It going at last and stood back to
enjoy its progress down the mountain.
It went slowly at first, as if in doubt,
but it struck a steep place about 50 feet
down the hill, and it leaped out like a
restive.horse from the post, and away
it went, bounding a dozen feet into the
air and Jumping over gullies and rocks
as if It were rubber. About 600 feet
down, when it was going at tremen
dous speed, it leaped 50 feet Into the
air, and I was Just going to let off a
whoop when I saw a 12 mule. team in
the narrow road below and directly in
the track of the monster.
"The team was drawing two wagons,
as was the custom with the mountain
freighters, and It was driven by old
Jerry Simpson, one of the best known
teamsters in the mountains. It simply
paralyzed me. for I didn't see anything
but destruction for everything in the
way. There was no turning back or
whipping up to get out of the way, for
the load was heavy and the road was
rough and narrow. I stood speechless,
scared white, but the driver had seen
the rock coming, and, dropping off
the saddle mule, he broke back up the
road as hard as he could run. I would
have run, too, but my legs refused to
act, and I stood fast and watched the
great rock go tumbling down toward
its victims. I hadn't long to wait, of
course, and Just as 1 gasped at the last
bound of the bowlder it struck an ob
struction of some kind and Jumped
clean over the tpnm and the road and
went crastsi(; on tti way down into
the ravine beWw
"Then I covered my wits, and,
fcarrwin;: that what I had been doing
is entirely inexcusable, I skinned off
up the mountain behind the rocks and
disappeared, trusting to Providence
that the old Jerry hadn't identified me.
I slipped around another way to town
and got in all right without having any
questions asked where I had been, and
that evening I went over to the post-
office, which was a general loafing
place, and there found Jerry telling of
his wonderful escape.
" 'Derned ef I didn't think it wuz a
haystack comln down the hill,' he
said, 'with somethin alive In it.
" 'Have you any idea who rolled it
down?' I asked innocently.
" In course I hain't Ef I hadn't
been in sich a hurry and left my Win
chester In the wagon, I'd 'a' found out
mighty quick, fer I seen him run, and
he bad a dog with him.'
"I was a little nervous, but I kept on
asking questions.
" What did you have in your wag
ons?' I said.
" 'Dynamite. Four tons uv it.'
"'Good Lord!' I -exclaimed. 'There
wouldn't have been much left of that
team, would there?'
" 'Nor me. neither,' I reckon,' he said.
shaking his head.
" 'What did you think of as you were
running up the road?'
"'Not much uv anything, I guess,
but mostly ef they wuz goin to be able
to git enough uv Jerry Simpson-meat
out of that mule meat to have a funer
al with.
"I don't know where Jerry is now,"
concluded the senator; "dead, I sup
pose, but I never told him who rolled
that rock down the hill, nor did I ever
tell anybody in that town who did it,
because it came altogether too near be
ing a tragedy for it ever to be con-:

? car fares in Germany
The Method of Collection and In
spect ion Prevents Free Rldea. . -
The chances of evading fares on the
street cais of German cities are very
slight."' When a passenger steps on a
car, the conductor immediately asks
where he is going and then prepares
bis ticket, which, serves also as a re
ceipt for the fare. The preparation of
a ticket consists only in detaching it
from a block and punching it or mark
ing It with a pencil. .
This process involves much more
work than the simple process of ring
ing up the fares, as conductors do in
America butthe task .. is lightened by
the fact that only a certain number of
persons are permitted to ride on a car
at the same time. TThe number of sit
ting and standing places is plainly
marked on each car. If a car is de
signed to carry 30 persons, no more
than 30 persons will be permitted on
that car at the same time. When any
thing In Germany is forbidden, it is
settled once for all. '
In order that every person who rides
shall get the prescribed ticket Inspect,
ors are employed who spend their time
In ascertaining whether the conductors
are doing their duty. These Inspectors
step Into the cars and ask the passen
gers for their tickets. They note the
number of the tickets and whether they
correspond with the stubs retained by
the conductor. The clerk who gives
out the blocks of tickets to the con
ductors notes the number of the upper
most ticket and at the return of each
block collects from the conductor who
returned it as many fares as there are
tickets detached.
The, rate of fares varies from 2V&
cents to 5, according to the distance.
Small children are carried for one-half
fare, and any one for the sum of $2.50
may secure a ticket which entitles him
to ride as much as he wishes for one
month. When a car is full, the con
ductor displays a placard bearing the
word "Occupied." Chicago Record.

Home Journal on "A Boy For a Hus
band," contends that "no young man
under 25 years of age is In any sense
competent to take unto himself a wife.
Before that age he is simply a boy who
has absolutely nothing which he can
offer to a girl as a safe foundation for
life happiness. He Is unformed in his
character, unsettled in his ideas, ab
solutely ignorant of the first essentials
of what consideration or love for a
woman means. He doesn't know him
self, let alone knowing a woman. He
is full of fancies, and it is his boyish
nature to flit from one fancy to an
other. "He is incapable of the affection up
on which love is based, because he has
not lived long enough to know what
the feeling or even the word means.
He is full of theories, each one of
which, when he comes to put It Into
practice, will fall. He is a boy pure
and simple, passing through that try
ing period through which every boy
must pass before he becomes a man.
But that period is not the marrying
time. For as his opinions of life are
to change, so are his fancies of the
girl he esteems as the onlizgirl in the
world to make him happy,"
The man
whom he
of 80 rarely weds the girl
fancied when he was 20."
Too Troe.

Kinston-JVee Press: Mr. J. R.
Tingle, of Pitt county, near Griftan,
died Monday evening of a yellow
chill, aged about 60 years. About four
weeks ago he lost a daughter, ana
about a week ago his son died of the
same dread disease. The receipts
of cotton on the local market have
been almost nothing the past few days
the farmers believing that the price
will go up. The crop, too, is very
short in this section, and we think will
scarcely average half a crop.

Goldsboro Argus: By the merest
chance the heirs of the late N. H,
Gurley havejkdded to his estate $1,000.
In 1892 Mr. Thomas McGee, a well
known and popular life insurance
agent living in Goldsboro, prevailed on
Mr. Gurley to take $1,000 on his life.
This was done and Mr. Gurley paid
the premium for some six years and
then let the policy lapse. Since his
death Mr. McGee asked the heirs several
times to let him see the policy, but
they, thinking that it was worthless,
ignored the request. After being asked
several times they finally produced
the papers and Mr. McGee discovered
that the extended feature of the policy
was still In force and that it was worth
its full face value of $1,000. The
Solicy was taken out in the Mutual
lenefit of Newark, N. J., while Mr.
McGee was working for that com
nanv. and will be paid as soon as the
proofs of death can be forwarded to
the general office of the company.
Robbed tbe Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, Pa.,
was the subject, is narrated by him
as follows: "I was in a most dread
ful condition. . My skin was almost
yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in the back and sides
and no appetite gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up Fortunately, a
friend advised trying Electric Bitters,
and to my great joy and surprise the
first bottle made a aeciuea improve
ment. I continued their use for three
weeks, and I am now a well man. I
know they saved my life, and robbed
the grave of another victim." No
one should fail to try them. Only 60
cents, guaranteed, at R. R. Bklla
