Mr. Hayner presented a statement how tr.g the number of shells found on the vessels of the Spanish fleet, and the witness was asked to state the per centage of 5-inch shells assuming the statement to be correct. Captain Rog ers replied that the toCal number of hits was thirty-five, and that, therefore, the 5-lnch shell hits constituted J4 rer cent- of all the hits. Mr. Rayner sail the the statement bad been prepared by Admiral Schley. Mr. Rayner read the "dear Schley" letter including the following extract: It Happened In a R ru a Stor. "One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked for a brand of cough medcline that I did nbt have In stock." says Mr. C. R. Grandin. the popular druggist of Ontario, N. Y. "She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation I could recommend. I said to her that I could freely recommend Chamberlain's Cougn Remedy and that she could take a bot tle of the remedy and after. giving it a fair trial If she did not find it worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would refund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back In company with a friend In need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rmdy. I consider that a very grood recommendation for the remedy." It is l for sale by R. R. Bellamy, druggist.

As soon as we ware around at th.- proper p-sition the helm was raised so that we paralleled the course f the Vis-aya. which at that time was about 2.4''o or 2. ."..v yards on our star I...ird low. Th-- (', on was proaably on the (..am oi a little forward of the b.-am: the (iiju.-ndo abaft the starboard 1111. Th- (i.juendo very soon fell out and ran a.s'u r.- on fire, and then we de voted our attention solely to the Colon and t h- iscava. J h- jude a d . H a t : "How near was the Texas to the Krooklyn when the latt.-r crossed her bow ?" "I suppose it was about 23'1 to 2'0 yards." "Have you ever given estimates as .th.-r than that0'-"Y.-s sir." "What have you given before?" "l."o yards." "Why do you change it now?" "Keeause I have read from my notes written the day after the battl- and from notes I used on the board of nav igators. I concluded from those that my estimate at that time when I gave it l.-.a to 2.V yards was too near. Also, I was very much influenced by the thought that the navigating officer of the Texas would not think it was less than 1"j0 yards." "Po you remember whether anything was said about blanketing the fire of the Texas at that time?" "When I told the commodore T thought we would run into the Texas I think I did say that we might get a shot from one of her big guns." "Have you ever said that you were 'skittish- about a collision with the Texas at this time?" "Well. I was skittish about it. I thought we were going to have a col lision very likely with the Texas." "How was the collision avoided from what you know of your own know ledge?" "By getting around so quick we passed ahead of her." With Commander Hodgson on the stand the court adjourned. Washington, October 1. The war de partment tonight receiv ed the following dispatch from General Chaffee, dated at Manila, giving further details of the disastrous attack on t ne Ninth regi ment : "Manila, October 4. "Adjutant General, Washington. " From those who escaped the follow ing is learned: On September 29th. while at breakfast at 6:-i5 o'clock a. m.. the company was attack ?d at the signal of ringing the convent bells, by about bolomep. 200 from the rear of the quarters and 200 in frimt simultane ously attacked the officer's quarters. The company was compl?tely surprised. The force attacking th? front gained possession of the arms. A fight ensued for them in which mo?t of the men met death in the mess room in the rear. The enemy was beaten 3ff temporarily bv about twenty-five m?n who gained their arms. Sergeant Eetron assumed command and endeavorei to collect the men to leave in boats. They were re attacked by the enemy. The strength of the command was three officers and seventy-two men. The killed were three officers and forty enlisted men; missing, six; wounded, hirteen; pres ent, thirteen. The party attacking the officers in the convent entered through the church In large nunbers, led Dy Presldente. Probably 1(1 rifles were with the company. 26 saved. Fifteen of the lost (rifles) had bolts drawn; 2 .".000 rounds of ammuni' ion were lost. N'inetv-five prisoners joined in the at tack at the signal. A b at of missing men capsized.

With victory flags Hying from her towering mast heads and the ends of her spreaders in honor of her concluding triumph in the cup races of 1901, the gallant sloop Co lumbia returned to her anchorage to night under the escort of the entire ex cursion fleet. She today completed her defence of the honored trophy in anoth er stirring race with the Shamrock II, over a leeward and windward race of thirty miles, crossing the finish line two seconds behind her antagonist, but winning on the time allowance conced ed by Ljpton's boat, by 41 seconds: For the second time she has now suc cessfully foiled the attempt of the Irish knight to wrest from her possession the cup that means the yachting supremacy of the world. Plucky Sir Thomas Lipton, standing on the bridge of the Erin led his guests in three hearty hurrahs for the success ful defender. "She is the better boat." , he said, "and she deserves to be cheered." The series of races just closed will nlways be memorable as the closest ever sailed for the cup and Sir Thomas although defeated, will go home with the satisfaction of knowing that his golden yacht is the ablest foreign boat that ever crossed the western ocean. During both series of races not an un toward incident has occurred, and Sir Thomas will return to England by far the most popular of all the foreigners who have challenged lor the America's trophy. The racers were sen I away before the wind, each carrying a penalty for cross ing the line after the handicap gun. No official record is kept of the time after that gun is fired, but the experts with stop watches estimated the Columbia's handicap at 15 seconds and the Sham rock's at 30 seconds. The contest of the yachts fleeing before the wind was pic turesque, but not exciting. Their crews were gathered aft to keep the heads oi the boats up and thereafter until the outer mark was reached it was merely a question of holding on to all the can vas and letting the wind to the rest. Notwithstanding the fact that the Co lumbia beat the Shamrock before the wind last Saturday the challenger to day gained slowly, but steadily all the way out and rounded 49 seconds before the defender, having actually gained 1 minute and 4 seconds. Immediately after tho yachts turned their noses into the wind for the beat home, the breeze moderated and turned fiuky. The skippers spiit tacks, each searching for wind with the result that first one would get a lift and then the other. At one time the Columbia seemed a mile ahead when a sudden cant of the wind allowed the Shamrock to point nearer the mark, and a mil from home the challenger appeared r be leading by fully half a mile. The talent tiegan to feel nervous, but as th yachts approached the finish the Yan kee shipper by some miraculous leger demain, shoved his boat into the li-'-air like a phantom ship and 100 yards from home the two racers were almost on even terms. It was a pretty sight and one seldom witnessed, when they crossed rail to rail, the white yacht's bowsprit just laping the golden boat's mast. The usual pandemonium that attends the final Yankee victory in a cup con test followed. Whistles, sirens, bells, bands and cheers united in a grand chorus of jubilation and J. P. Morgan's steam yacht Corsair added to the ter rific din by firing a national salute of twenty-one guns. After the Columbia had hauled down her sails and set her victory flag the excursion boats crowded alongside to cheer the Yankee sailors and the win ning skipper. Nor did they forget eith er Lipton or his gallant craft. In turn the crowded steamers ran alongside the Shamrock and the Erin and the van quished received almost as much honor as the victor; and thus with felicita tions all round the twelfth series of races for the old cup which the schoon er America brought over fifty years ago ended with the best of feeling. HOW THE RACE WAS SAILED. At the preparatory signal at 10:45 a. m. both boats were far up to the winl ward and came down toward the light ship and just before the warning gun again headed up into the wind simulta neously and worked back to their form er positions. Both were on the port tack and close hauled with the Colum bia on the weather quarter of the chat- 8 lumbia was well to windward, the die- ' I tance estimated by some of the yacht- v ing sharps at nearly a mile, but at tho . same time she was slightly astern. ' ' A series of short tacks was then be gun by both racers and in these he Shamrock showed evident gains, being j aided by friendly slants of wind. For half an hour these short tacks contin- ' ued and when at 2 o'clock the boats : -j came together near enough to afford ; comparison it was seen that the chad- 1 7. j lenger had made up a large part if not 1 "5j an iicr loss. ine winu, mean w line, rau I r become more and more fiuky and was blowing not over seven or eight knots. THE COLUMBIA TAKES THE LEAD. A few minutes after 2 o'clock Barr put the Columbia about on the star board tack and headed for the Jersey shore. A minute later the Shamrock followed and it was then seen beyond possibility of doubt that the American boat was not only to windward, hut i was slightly ahead. j LOSES IT AGAIN. ' Again, the racers went into short ' tacks and again the challenger came , out with gains to her credit, so that at 1 2:20 she took the lead. The wind was 1 now fast dropping. It became any- body's race and the excitement increas- , ed. A few more short tacks and the j British boat added to her lead by favor ing puffs. SPLENDID SEAMANSHIP. ' Seamanship of the highest order was j now required and in this respect it was hats off to doughty Charlie' Barr. He nursed his craft along in the light airs in a wonderful manner and at every moment had a sharp eye out for any change of wind. When at 3:17 the Shamrock put about to meet the Columbia it was evident that she still had a slight lead, for she forced the defender about- Having done this the Shamrock again went about on the port tack with the evi dent hope of fetching the line, now about a mile away. The Columbia kept on a couple of minutes longer and then followed her rival. She was in the windward berth, but well astern and the lead or the Englishman was unmistakable. Both boats were beinr sailed for all there was in them and they went through the water at a speed remarkable for the wind that was then blowing. It was apparent that a nerve straining finish was at hand. Charlie Barr kept up his good work and took advantage of every change of air that could possibly help him. The Columbia was perceptibly gaining. At 3:30 the Shamrock went about on the starboard and hearded for the mid dle of the line. The Columbia tacked under her lee, Barr's game being to back wind the headsails of the challen ger. On they came the American boat gaining slightly. CROSSING FINISHING LINE. The Shamrock was first to luff across, but hardly was this perceptible before Barr did the same thing with the Co lumbia and they went over only two seconds apart, but the two seconds were to the credit of the Shamrock in actual time, though she was a beaten boat according to the rules of the game- Grand Opening To-Day OF STYLISH . .

Shortly after Mr. Roosevelt had been called to Washington by President Harrison as the head of the civil ser vice commission he, in conmpany with friends, was visiting the Army and Navy Club. During the evening a gen tleman (?) who evidently had not be come reconciled to the south, in con versation referred contemptuously to, the southern people as traitors. Mr. Roosevelt kindly remonstrated and stated the charge of being traitors could nut be maintained against the southern people. The gentleman (?) was not satisfied with Mr. Roosevelt's remonstrance and repeated that the southern people were traitors. Again Mr. Rousevelt remonstrated, saying that his mother was a southern lady and that many of his kinsmen had en gaged in that war, and that the word traitor was offensive to him. Upon the word being repeated the third time Roosevelt shot out with his fist straight from the right shoulder and adminis tered the "solar plexus" to the gentle man whose tongue was so glib in de nouncing the south. Roosevelt re formed him! He has a great deal of reform work in his hands just now. We wish him well.

This he was able to do, but. while he had the pride of position in a leeward start, he found himself thirty seconds behind the handicap gun. Barr also handicapped his boat in crossing, but not so much as his rival, for it is estimated that he was only fifteen seconds behind the handi cap gun. Both boats being handicapped the of ficial time of start was posted on the bulletin board of the committee boat as follows: Shamrock 11:02:00: Co lumbia 11:02:00. SHAMROCK GAINS 1:04 TO THE TURN. Hardly had the boats got over the line before it was seen that the Sham rock was gaining on her rival. Slowly she crept up and at 11:17 was on even terms. Half a minute later she show ed her bowsprit ahead arid from there on led the Columbia to theOuter mark. The official time of turning the outer mark, was Shamrock 12:43:46; Colum bia 12:49:35. Thus on the run straight down the wind the challenger had gained, ac cording to official time, 49 seconds, but in reality she had done better than this. for to this 40 seconds are to be added the 15 seconds which the Columbia led her over the starting line. A DRAMATIC EVENT- At 1:12 a dramatic event occurred. In three minutes the Columbia passed clean through the lee of the challenger, went on the port tack and easily cross ed her bows. The Shamrock at one.-! tacked under the defender's lee and then developed a situation that could not be explained unless by change of wind. While the Columbia kept on pointing very high, the Shamrock head ed far off to leeward and for several minutes did not point anywhere near as high as the Columbia and rapidly fell off. The wind had now dropped materially and it soon became fluky as well, first one boat getting it in puT and then the other. At times there was a great difference in their pointing, the Columbia now heading well up while the Shamrock fell off, and then again the reverse was true. SHAMROCK STILL AHEAD. At 1:30 the boats were standing along on port tack, but wie apart. The Co- AT A.
