THE NEW YORK S I-TE AimiVAL In response to questions. Commajider fharp said that, acccrdlng to IJeuten- fint Harlow nots as recorded in tne Vixen s log. th flagship New York bad f come ur about an hour and fifteen J minuts after the Cristobal Colon had rrer.dered. The record read that th N.-w York arrived three to five minutes aft-r the arrival of the Vixen, which had been nt 2 ZS. By the court: "What signals. If any. were male by the Brooklyn from the commencement to the end of the battle of July 3rd"" "The Brooklyn had hoisted a signal enemy attempting to escape.- That is in tne notes, mere may nave een thers. but I do not find any here." By the court: "State the orders un der which you acted when on blockade of? Santiago, "My Impression Is that I received my Instruetlons from Commander MeCall.i to go Inside of the line of vessels and to the seaward of Santiago about two H miles. That Is for the 2Sth, 3'.th anl 31st ot May." LIEUTENANT DOYLE TESTIFIES. Lieutenant Doyle said his first im pression had been that the Brooklyn made her turn with starboard helm. The witness read to the court thai part of the log book which relates to the turning of the port helm, as fol lows: "The enemy Ptood towards us at first, then put helm aport and stood along shore close into the west ward. We engaged with port battery at first, standing In fr the Maria Teresa, the Colon and the Viscaya. all three of w hich we engaged, but Just a-s soon a.s the enemy stood to the westward put helm to port, swinging (a little inter lineation here 'clear of the fire of th? Texas, so as to bring the starboard battery to bear and stood parallel to the enemy." " The witness then stated that the orig lnal entry in the log had made it ap p.-ar that the helm was put to starboar Instead of to fort. as It appears In th permanent log. The change, he slid had been made on the eth of July. lw days aft-r the action nft-r he had ha a discussion with Sharp. Mr. Kaynor then took the witness an i.sked him If it was not true that the ihange In the log was due t an error on the part of the witness and to )i desire upon the part of anybody to fal sify the facts ? ' "Absolutely," was the response. Lieutenant Doyle then described the events pr.or to Schley's blockade of Santiago. Li-ut-nant Doyle placed th distance of the American licet off San tiag from the mouth of the harbor a from three to four miles and said ther were picket boats on the inside of th line. Sp. aking of the bombardment ot the Colon on the 31st of May. he, and Mr. Kaynor d. signating it as a recon noissa tic,-. Lieutenant Doyle said that Its eftei t had been to develop the fac mat tne Spaniards rial new guns in their land batteries. Here Mr. Kaynor asked: "When woi the circular form of blockade coin m-n.-ed ?" hue no mention was made of ;ho name of Admiral Sampson, this qui Hon was r-gard-. 1 as an attempt to bring his bl... kade into the case for the purpose of comparison and ('apt tin l.-m! was prompt in noting a .--ha:) and vigorous objection. witnout waiting Tor any argument ..n the point, the court immediately announced a brief recess. i ne memoers retired lor a minute or two and wh.-n th. y returned. Admiral D-w. y sai I. "Th,- eotirt decides that all ou.-stions r, -luting ffj the blockad oil Santiago must be confined to th tim.- prior to th- arrival of th. mand.-r-in-f hief." com- The court then adjourned for the diy A KFMMIV TO AKMS.

New York. October 2 Yachting en thusiasts and the- general public are tonight expecting; a mo ?t exciting race tomorrow between the cup defender Columbia and the challenger Shamrock II. The- base their h!, h hopes on the strong wind blowing tor.lght and which the local weather prophets assert is likely to keep up for tw?nty-four hours or more. The Washington weather bureau adds to the expe ?tations, which it is hoped, will be real zed by holding out a promise of a fcliong breeze off Snndy Hook. Thcrbure; u says: "Fresh northwest winds and fair Weather for tomorrow. The winds ought to hold throughout the day." The contest between he two yachts tomorrow will be over a thirty mile triangular course, the s. .me as that at tempted on Tuesday. U ider the condi tions of this, the foci nd race, the yachts will be sailed tei miles on each of the three legs of In.- course. It Is the intention of the committee tonight to sail the first leg to windward which will make the other twe a broad reach and a close reach, pro lded the wind does not shift. At Sandy Hook tonight everything is ready for tomorrow's race and If the weather predictions prove true the yachts will have plenty of wind per haps more than they want. At 9:30 o'clock tonight the wfnd shifted sud denly in a squall from . outh to north west and beg-an to blow nard from that ciuarter. At 10 o'clock 1 3 velocity was thirty-six miles an hour. While it was a quiet day with the yachts lying at their moorings inside of -sandy Hook bay, the officials of the New York Yacht and the Roval Tlster Xacht Clubs had a bus time of it in complying with the n quest of Sir Thomas LIpton, backed by- the assent of Mr. FT. D. Mrirgan, o: the Columbia, that in the future the races should bo h.-id on consecutive dayn. not count! -Sunday. In addition there came the re inest from George L. Watson, the de signer of the Shamrock II, for a re- measurement because of his intention to take out ballast before tomorrow's race. On the first proposition an agree ment was finally reached between the challenge committees o: the clubs for a race every day, but on the second. Mr. Watson, after furt ler considering the matter decided to iet it drop and the yacht will sail torn irrow with ex- atly the same amount of ballast which she has carried In previous races. This will not prevent Mr. Watson from tak ing- out ballast at any time he m. y wish, which, of course, he club Is will ing to have done at any time. If, how ever, after tomorrow s race. Mr. at srsa decides to take oul ballast It Is probable that there wil be no rnce on Friday as under the n w arrangement either yac ht Is at liber' y to decline to race on the next day. This will be seen In the agreement w hich was drawn up . .nd signed this .afternoon which is as follows: "The agreement deter nininrr the con lltions and governing t le races for the America's cup, as agreed upon by the committees of tne Nev ovk laont Club and the Royal Ulfter Yacht Club, are hereby modified as 'ollows: Strike out the r-la lse beginning: 'The first race shall be sailed on Sat urday. September 21, ll'Ol' and substi tute the following: " 'The races shall be sailed on the llowing dates until the series be rom- idet-d, namely: Septe.nber 2fUh, Sep tember 2Mh. October 1st and October 3. 1001. and each follow ing day except Sunday; provided, however, that imme- liately on the eonclusio i of the race of October 3rd. and of e: oh subsequent race, the regatta committee shall in quire of each contestan: whether he Is w illing to start the i ext day. and should cither contestant reply In the negative, one day shall Intervene before starting the next race. Sunday will not count as such lnterveni ig day." About noon it was lea -ned at the club that those in charge o the Shamrock desired to shift some b. llast. which, of course, necessitated pla is for measure ment. Whether this pi in of removing ballast from the challe ager was made with a view of decreasing the stiffness of the boat or cutting Ihe water line a matter of a few Inches so as to gain in time allowance could not be ascer- lined. Under her present measure ment the Shamrock allows the Colum bia 43 seconds in a thirty-mile race. It will be necessary for Mr. "Watson to de crease the Shamrock s water line length by a foot In orde to gain fifteen seconds In time allow ince, and al though the overhang of the challenger, both fore and aft, is very long, it is thought that considerate ballast will have to be taken out in order to make a gain of even five or sit seconds. Still with races in which rrer her boat seems to have the advantage Df more than a minute or two the matter of seven sec onds might become very Important.

From Assistant Secretary Melklejohn as Part Compensation In tho Settle ment With Colonel nelslaud-.Tndiro Boyd, Adjutaut General Corbln and Assistant Secretary Allen Deny Any Connect Ion With tho Hemp Combi nation Hawkes Tries to Sell Ills Information. Washington, Octobei 2. When the in vestigation of the charges against Lieu- tenant Colonei Hetsland was resumed 1 today by the senate committee on mili tary affairs. William C. Mclntyre, who was attorney for Major Hawkes at the time he made his settlement with Col onel Heisland, was called to the stand. He related the substance of an inter view with General Corbin concerning the settlement. Hawkes, it appeared, desired an ap pointment more than pecuniary re muneration, in the way of settlement. General Corbln introduced him (Mcln tyre) to Assistant Secretary Meikle john. The latter, disclaiming any con nection with the hemp combination, said he would be glad to do something for Hawkes. The details of the settlement effected, according to Mclntyre, included the ap pointment of Hawkes to a civil posi tion. Mclntyre wanted a promise that Hawkes should be retained in the of fice, but Meiklejohn had said he could not give such assurance. Assistant At torney General Boyd at his instance had endorsed Hawkes for tho position, but Boyd said nothinglo him about the Heisland-Hawkes settlement. He add ed that nothing ever was said by Meik lejohn indicating that the appointment was made as a consideration of the set tlement. Senator Harris questioned Hawkes closely concerning a letter he had writ ten to Colonel Heisland which conflict ed with his present statement. He de clared that his present statement was correct. Witness had written James E. Boyd that the witness had no claim against him. He released Boyd, ho said, because Boyd was the witness' 'personal friend.' Major Hawkes also said that he never learned from any of the parties named, Boyd, Allen. Cor bin and Meiklejohn, that they were in the company, all such representations coming from Heisland. General H. C. Corbin, adjutant gen eral, who was named in the resolution as one of the parties to the deal, testi fied that Colonel Heisland made a gen eral statement to him concerning the organization of a company and asked him if he would lik0 to invest in it. He- thought favorably of tho concern, but two or three days after he told Heis land that he had no money to invest in any company. Some time afterwards. Assistant Secretary Allen came .to him and said that a man named Hawkes was using both their- names to float some scheme. He told Allen that Hawkes had no authority to use his name. Neither Boyd nor Meiklejohn ever talked to him concerning the or- I ganization of the company- He had never discussed the matter with Hawkes. He knew of Hawkes. as he ws appointed in the volunteers, and subsequently applied for another ap pointment. The papers for the latter place were withdrawn. Later, Hawkes crime to him with a claim against Heis land and he had sent it to Heisland. That was all his connection with the matter. He wanted to state, he said, for the honor of his country, that he never heard it intimated before that the war department could be used for any dishonorable purpose. Judge James E. Boyd also denied any connection with the company. Judge Boyd said he never talked with Corbin. Meiklejohn, Allen or Heisland concerning the proposed company. He had known -Hawkes for several years and helped him to get a commission in thhe volunteers. Hawkes came to him with the letter known as the "to whom ; it may concern" letter. He did not re member its contents, but it was a gen oral testimonial. Writness had a do- sire to help him and signed the letter for that purpose. No suggestion ever was made that he (Boyd) was to re ceive stock in the company for nothing. Hawkes came to him later and present ed a subscription parer and wanted him to take stock, which he declined to do. Major Hawkes said he had endeavor ed to sell the whole story to New Y'ork papers and likewise had unsuccessfully offered to sell to the national demo cratic committee prior to tho election for "$300 and other considerations." The offer was not accepted. Hawkes said he then withdrew the papers upon assurance from a government official that his case would be taken up and satisfactorily settled. He was asked if he had not approached Lawrence S. Holt, of North Carolina, and offered to hush up the case for a consideration of $800. This question was asked at the suggestion of Colonel Heisland, and was noted by Hawkes. who replied in ieat that "$S0O would not hush up any thing. Any man that says so is a liar and I will so brand him." Major Hawkes testified as to his in terviews with Flint. Eddy & Co.. of New- York, to whom he announced his purpose oi organizing a company to 'control the hemp trade of the Philip pine islands, both by manufacturing hemp there and also by purchasing raw material to ship out- He said Colonel Heisland had guaranteed that if the combination were put through the tariff could be "fixed." Heisland had said he could get a Mr. Smith, at the head of the insular bureau of the war department, into the combination. The committee at this point ad journed until tomorrow. In declining the challenge of Thomas W. Lawson for a $3,000 match race be tween Boralma and Lord Derby, Harry Hamlin announces that he will start Lord Derby- during the Lexington meet ing to break the world s record, now held by Cresceus- NERVOUS DISEASES.
