VOL. VIII.' RALEIGH N. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31 i901 No. 71 IS D Cross Examination of Schley Is Finished :l t LONG AND TEDIOUS - A Suppressed Report of the Battle Off Santiago Fur nishes the Only Relief to the Monotony of the Pro ceedings . Washington, Oct. 30. The eross-exami-,;s of Admiral Schley by Captain Tiuiy was concluded at 2:35 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Ilayner had no ques lir.ns on re-direct examination. pie examination was begun by Captain Lfinly, who asked: Q. Did you impart to Captain Evans jour verbal order of battle at any time? A. He was disabled and sent his eseeuthe officer, .Commander Rodgers, aboard the flagship. I talked to mm a good deal, but 1 do not remember what 1 saw thp statement maue oy bad more ships. Q Captain Folger stated that on Mav 30 he advised you to move in closer, and" -tou say that the enemy tired on Captain Folger in the position which he then held, the day following the con versation V A. I think it was on June 1, not the not day. g You stated that no vessels passed the blockade either coming in or going -nit either at Cienfuegos or at Santiago, prior to June 1. lid any attempt to do soV A. No. none that I know of. I re member that a French captain succeeded on the north coast and the fact was widely advertised; so I think that if one had succeeded on the south coast I would have heard, of it. Q I want to pass now to the affair of May 31. When did yxm first receive notice that the eommandeT-in-chief would be at Santiago on June 1? Do yon. remember? A. I am not able to say unless I. can see the telegrairi?" It appears to me, according to my recollection now, that.lt came to me in a telegram, but 1 cannot recollect now wVther the New Orleans or some other vessel brought it later. Mr recollection is that it was in a tele gram. It may be that Captain Folger communicated the factt but of that I cannot say. Q. Now, you had been off Santiago two days when you made this recop no'ssance, had you not? A. Ye-. (. Why did you wait two days be fo! e making it? A. Simply because I availed myself o? the : opportunity- of coaling on all oc casions when it was possible. I thought it was best to get my ships in good cnaiiiu condition in case the reeonnois sanre should develop the fact that the tiiiiiiy might come out. J'-- ).- I want to ask you if before you l ft the Brooklyn, May 31v to go aboard tin1 Massachusetts, you made the re mark testified to by Commander Sharp: "ine admiral will be here tomorrow." ' -A. I do not recall that. If I did, it car have been said incidentally. Q If is m evidence that you went on, board tKe Vixen from the Brooklyn and transferred your flag to the Massachu setts. I want you to give as nearly as you can the conversations which you had with Captain Higginson, wh com manded the Massachusetts, and with the other officers on board that ship. May 31. A. That would be a very difficult prop osition because 1 talked a great deal with them, especially with Captain Hig ginson. I mean in relation to the subject of the reconnoissance. . A. I recollect that I happened to be on the upper deck and talking with one of the officers. Captain Lemly Excuse me; I am going to ask you about that later. Admiral Schley I do not distinctly re member the'conversations. I talked about many things with Captain Higginson while we were below at lunch. I re call that he asked me if I would not oefer the intended bombardment- until after dinner, and I assented. Then sub sequently we went upon deck and went into the shart house and there was a think that is about all that I can recall unless at is the fact that Cartain flfi ginson rather agreed that wwere dT ing what was necessary. I reeol W t incident of calling, people ofi ? t turret, which has been Wined to T remember as we went in Mr. Potts tou me that we were on the range hiit h yond that I do not recall wifh'anv dis" tmetness that there was any verv ni terial matter talked about. . Captain Lemly referred, to Admiral Schley's letter of February 18, 1&9, to the Senate," and asked if the contemno ary order then mentioned was the rea-eon-for-destroying the Colon. Admiral Schley read the letter and he order referred to and said that that "v"i s his reason. Q Now you do not say, do "you, that Jon had knowledge at this time of the first of these orders? I mean to say at the time of the bombardment? A. No I did not koow that; I did n't state that. There .werea number of things which I t-d not state in that etter, for the reason that I tad only a feJ days in which to submit it, I did have these orders in my possession ;:t the time "of the bombardment), but 1 ha. i the information concerning them. rscollBction is that . the ' admiral Ifko of its beinjr interdicted by the 'frurtment that there ehoulJ be acy ex ill Q Can tou sav now your xnwuiw compared with that at Wei-Hai-Wei? No, but I have an idea that the blockading squadron there, according to posure of the ships against land bat teries. .... . Q. You mentioned three orders. A. I mentioned ; thosfe because I found them in the appendix, but if you will go a li'ttle further it will be fouud out that the department was explicit in its interdiction- against exposing the ships, even as late as July 10, I think. Q. Indicted unconditionally? Mr. Kayner Do you think that is necessary? July was after the buttle. " Admiral Schley That was in relation to exposing the ships before the bat teries at Santiago' after the destruction of the Spanish fleet. P x Captain Lemly's cross-examination, of Rear Admiral Schley ! was continued at tedious length. In the course of it was the following: ! - N Q. What particular or unusual prep arations were made July 2 to meet the forthcoming sortie of the enemy's fleet? ' ;'- ' . - A. I had a conversation with- Cap tain Cook. - I remember stating that if the enemy attempted a sortie he might catch us unprepared, owing to the dif ficulty of coupling up. If the shafting had been in the slightest out of line it would have taken a great deal of itime to get it right. I concluded to adopt his suggestion to use all the boiler Dow er available. Q. Were there any instructions as to priming furnaces, etc.? A. That, of course, I assumed the captain would attend to. Captain Cook stated that we were always ket in good condition. Q. Did not Captain Cook state that he had no intimation that the Spanish ships were coming out? y A. Nobody had any such intimation". It was merely a suspicion. I thought, of course, that they might come out. Q. Now in regard to your statement! that in response to the message of the commander in chief, July 2, that an or- fder was given to the squadron to move in closer that night, did the vessels all move iu closer? A. 'Yes. Q. Do you recollect any record of the direction- for the - vessels to close in that night? A. No. But I recollect that on June 26 the. signal was made to the comman der in chief anv that the tender eme around. I - think it was on the 25th or i 20th then, that the unusual movements in the harbor were noticed. Q. What was the first movement of the Brooklyn on the day of action? A. I think the first movement of the Brooklyn was to rush toward the har bor. As to her exact course, it would be impossible for me to say, but I think she was heading north-northwest. Continuing ; his - cross-examination, f Captain Lemly. read from Admiral Schley's report of the battle and based one or two questions upon it. To one of these" Admiral Schley replied: - "I can explain the whole thing if you will permit me to introduce a pre liminary report which I made." Captain Leinly Unless it comes un der the rule that it was not sent. Admiral Schley It was sent. Mr. Rayner then produced a report, sent by Admiral Schley to Admiral Sampson, giving an account of the bat tle. This report contained no mention of the New York, and Admiral Sampson sent it back on this account. Admiral Schley would not include the New York in this report, and consequently it did not get to the Navy Department, as the subsequent one did. t There was a long discussion over the introduction of this BPport. Mr. Rayner said it had not been introduced in evi dence before. He said he thought that there should be no objection to it. Captain Lemly- said he had no objec tion to the report coming in. What he did object to was the interruption of his cross-examination. ' Mr. Rayner replied by saying that he had sat quietly by and had not objected a half-dozen times during the three days of the examination. . Now the witness i wanted to refresh his memory by a re port which he had made, and he thought he ought to have a right to do it. Admiral X)ewey--The court decides that he may make the explanation. Captain Lemly One moment, if the court please. I want to say a word. .Admiral Dewey Enough lias been said already. . Captain Lemly T am willing to let this come in afterwards, but I do not want to be interrupted now, I have not asked him to explain this report, and he. may make an explanation of it at the proper time. It is brought in ( here now for the express purpose of interfering. Admiral Dewey--1! r you are going to bring in the report at any other time, why not bring it in now? Captain Lemly -I withdraw the objec tion at this time. It has accomplished its. purpose It was done expressly to disturb the order of the cross-examination. That has been done and he has succeeded. Admiral Dewey We will wait then until after 2 o'clock. The court is ad journed for recess. , . When the: court reconvened after re cess the question to be. considered wras whether Admiral Schley had the right to refer to a certain j letter not recog nized as an official part of the proceed ings, in connection with the controversy over the report he had made to Admiral Sampson in which mention of Sampson's name was alleged to ; have been omit ted. - Mr, Rayner, contended that Admiral Schley had a perfect right to refer to this letter as prompting him in remem bering certain ; other, data in connection with the csise. The court ruled that Admiral Schlev might consult the letter, but not to read it aloud. In the course of examination the ffll iowing questions were put to Admiral Scljley by .the court: Q While off Santiago could you see ' the shore to, the westward of 'the en- limine nv uiaiincuj-mai you were auJe. to -form a clear idea "of the practiea-! Dinty or maKing a landing? A. I think so. , Q-Was there any reason why you could not send a boat , near shore to obtain -information about Cervera's squadron from fishermen or other per son's? - -y - A. There were no fisherman that .discovered , ! Q. Lieutenant Hood testified very positively 10 a conversation which you had with him. at ,Cienfuegos; can : you say that no such conversation took place? v , . ' . ' : A. I cannot recall one single word that Mr. Hood said to me, or any con versation that I had with him. Q. If Admiral Cervera had left San tiago for some imint to the west at the same time that you left" Cienfue- gos, couJd not his squadron have pass ed between your ships and the shore without being seen by you? - V . . A. If by night, probably yes; in the clay time, I-think not. 1 Q. What was your reason for going over twenty miles to the south o Santiago May 20? rV. I think I laid a course for that point ' supposing that if' the Spanish squadron was out, or had goue out they would run to the southward; and also with a view of giving' me a larg er horizon. Q. Did not the order under which you were acting, require y.ou to re main off Santiago? A. Possibly yes. but I did not think orders given me would deorive me of all discretion in the matter if I heard to the contrary. Q. Was not the situation a-t San tiago on May 2Hth such as to war rant you in ( taking considerable risk in coaling the ships of your squadron? A. I think the risk would have been very great too great in my judgment. (. Is that your foil answer to that question? A. I should have said that I thought that -:he risk of, coaling on the day would have been too great. We probably would have lost the col lier; and under "the. circumstances of my information, I thought that ought not to occur. (J. Why did the Brooklyn and Mas sachusetts on May 20 run short -of coal? A. I think the Brooklyn was about 10O tons short, as nearly as I ca?i remember. The reason ihey left was b cause the order of the commander in chief to do so was sent over on the morning of the 19th by a young officer whose name I do not recall. There wassome talk in which it was arranged that Captain Borden would be called tomorrow for Admiral Schley and Captain Barker, coimnandatK of the New York" navy ynrd, another Sclhey witness, would be telegraphed for if needed. These things disposed of, Admiral Schhv suggested that the court adjourn, and Admiral Dewey, at 3:13 declared the court adjourned. REPORTERS BARRED 0U1 Pan-Amviricah Congress Gets Down to Business City of Mexico, Oct. 30.r-Tho Pan American Conference seems finally to have agreed uion an organization. ,The original scheme for vice-presidents has been abandoned. There is still a strong feeling that the United States should have the first vice-presidency. The South Americans say they will nominate an American in conference anyway. Duarte Pereira, of Brazil will lie named first vice-president, Se r.or Ks-aipinian, of San . Salvador, as second, and Senor Raigosa, of Mexi co, will be continued iii the presidency. This morning's ession decided against admitting newspaper report ers. The secretary will publish a re sume of each day's proceedings with copies of speeches. Tomorrow's ses sion .will probably complete the organ ization. DEAD IN THE WOODS Three More Victims of the Live Oak Church Affair . New Orleans, Oct. 30 The bodies of three negroes were found in the woods near Balliown, La., today. They had evidently died of wounds received in the fight at Live Oak church. There arc still some forty or tif.y negroes missing who are supposed to be hiding iu the woods and Pearl River swamp, having been so frightened by the shoot ing that they have been afraid to come out. Nearly a hundred negroes erossf ei the Pearl River into Mississippi and some retured -to Ball town today to recover property wnich they left her hind, but most of them wiJl not return to live. The fight will, probably cause the closing for the season 'of the tui pentiue industry. CHINESE CORRUPTION Big Stealing by Customs ficials at Tien Tsin Pekin, Oct. 30. Sir Robett Hart, di rector of the imierial maritime cus toms, has instructed the heads of that, department th.?t no changes are to be made for the p esent in the native cus toms, but when the latter - are trans-? fevrcd to the imperial customs,-. Novemj ber 11, 'the native customs department will return daily reports of receipts ami the movements of junks. Later commis sioners will investigate the condition of the native customs, and reforms will be gradually put into effect. Although the native customs department is greatly and grossly corrupt, Sir Robert does not tka ftir!.iia TTe hones. however, to quadruple the receipts. "Ar snys that the native customs at Tieifj Ism formerly amounted to 4,KM annually, but of this suni onb .JK),0U0 reached the government, the balance be ing disbursed upon Yameu officials aud henchmen. A similar condition prpViUls ut other stations?. MOV Pritchard Puts a Strong Dem ocrat Out of Action AND REMOVES A RIVAL Judge! Osborne Erroneously Supposed to Be a M' Kinley Democrat Pritchard Com plimented on His Smart ness Washington, Oct: 30. Special. It is the unexpected that happens, and the I appointment today of Frank I. Osborne to be associate justice of the Court of ! PrivatejLand Claims does not nrove an (exception to, the rule. Mr. Osborne is ' classed here as a gold Democrat, one j who voted for McKinley as against ! Bryan; but at the same time one of rthe j most effective stump speakers in the ' state. An able j politician and lawyer, ) he always threw his influence and voice ' to the support of the state Democracy. ' and his appointment today, through the j influence of Senator Pritchard, to the I position of judge of the Court of Pri vate Land Claims, removes one of the ablest and most aggressive Democrats 'from the stump in North Carolina. As ;a Democrat was to be, appointed, the selection of Mr. Osborne by Senator Pritchard is considered a good .move politically, as it removes his antagonism to himself for re-election as senatotr j and silences to some degree, at least, i his friends. The . supposition, prevalent in Wash ington," that Mr. Osborne is a McKin ley Democrat is an error. Mr. Osborne net only Voted for Bryan, but supported him on, Ithe stump, at the same time leaking some of the -strongest free sil- ver spf Iches heard j in North Carolina. He hasf always voted the Democratic ticket straight. Ed. Post. FAKIRS LOCKED UP w Trio of Rogues Held on a : Charge of Stealing Winston-Salem, N.C, Oct. 30. Spe cial. E. - T.

Buckley , is a native of Indiana, but has been operating his "game"' business from i Washington. The three said khey liad j been travelling for several years con ducting games at fairs. While the ev idence against them is circumstantial it is considered s-rrong enough to con vict them . before a jury. The nici are believed to be genuine fakirs. They appeared to be nervous after being lockd up. CALLOWAY PARDONED A Federal Convict Released from a Tennessee Prison Washington. Oct. 30. The president today granted a pardon to M.- M.

Judge McMahon, of the Court of GeneraT Sessions, decided this afternoon that he would not hear the motion to quash the indieemeht of Roland B. Molincux for the murder of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams.
