That was better 1-: us pur ourselves in his place as he! than sending in a row tioat against that " is thou, and see whether he did not. M)W-erfnl surf i.ador the circumstances, .a-s they existed . v th sJ n..I liRhts of tuat tune, do everything that could ,, . . . . , f ,., ) , r.-asonablv expected of him. "He was insurgents. C aptain Evans has said "fT Ci.u-fiiegos three davs. He arrived ; that he knew of those signals. He said there on what has been called the l!2d:he had received information concerning of May. Iu reality it was the 21st. for them from Captain Chadwick. Chad is iv,i but five minutes after midnight j wick says that he did not remember '' the 1'lst.

Whv. hle" ?yi?Th hrmf1 o" Wh No. 7 arrived. The moment I somehow - thaf three signal lights meant J"jjk at that dispatch an irresistible j that the insurgent wanted to communi '"nchivion drives itself into mv hirnd. cate with the Americans. Chadwick I'jiat is, that that dispatch comma ntled , I nn to remain at Cienfuegos. whether i tne Spanish fleet was there or not I '- inn mniK mere is any uoiiin aooui 1 'hat. ' It admits of no other possible con- j -miction. That Us not a technical eon-! i notion. It is the construction which , tne author of the dispatch intended for i if. Even if he found out positively that the Spanish fleet was not in Cien fuogos it was his fluty, nevertheless, to r-mnin off Cienfuegos. That is a part, "f the foundation of this whole case It is a ruminating feature of this case. Let us look at it for a moment." Mr. Rayner read the dispatch, which i the "Dear Schley" letter, and said: 'The court will see that that proceeds upon the possible presumption that the Spanish fleet haif put in at Santiago." He then went oirto argue that Sampson's Intention clearly was that Schley should hold his force off Cienfuegos, even fif the Spanish squadron had put in at Santiago: that Sampson believed that it was bound to come to Cienfuegos. as it had supplies and munitions of war for Jlra'aoa !htlt ir wo"1'1 seek Cien fuegos, as that port connected with the Cuban capital by rait an,i that thexre! fore Cienfuegos should bo held under the probability that Cervora would come there, and that there Sihlev would en counter lijni.. It 'is too plain, too self evident for, further "argument. Mr. Rayner said that what the author of that dispatch meant and the only thing he could have meant, was for Schley to hold his fleet off Cienfuegos, even if the Spanish fleet was not there. If so, said Mr. Rayner, Admiral Schley on May 22 absolutely obeyed that or der. "There was not a thing else for him to do," he said. Coming to the let ter. Mr. . Rayner said: "It states that 'it is thought that the enclosed instruc tions will reach you by 2 o'clock on the morning of the 23d.' Well, as a mat ter of fact, they did not reach him. until nfter 8 o'clock that morning. Does it say .'it will enable you to leave before 'laylipht.?' No. it does not do anything f the kind. Those instructions went ""ith dispatch No. 8. My friend speaks f it as if it was an independent docu ment. It was not. What enclosed in "truotions? No. 8. . What was No. 8? by, that he should not leave Cien fnesgos until he was satisfied that the Spanish fleet was not there. These in- IN BEHALF OF SCHLEY struetions did not permit him to leave intended to he communicated. The news Cierfuegos until he was satisfied that that Commodore Schley, did get was the enemy was not there. Now, I want ihat there was no news! That was the to call attention . to something necu- thrEUn intelligence. That was all that i;ar was. given by the megaphone, and with a,,. t?o , i i v i x- o ioat the Marblehead went rejoicing on yn. Rayner then read dispatch o. S. hel. wav to lhe VTeeuw of lthe com- "lhere is a rumor by , way' of Havuna niander-in-chief to communicate .to him tnat the Spanish fleer has arrived at the complete information. Santiago," etc. "Notwithstanding that i "There stood Commodore SchJey. igno- lituror," coniuued Mr. Ravner, "and it rnt of every circumstance that is cleared was, nothing more than a rumor and it p n,h n,?y U, 1ile.ase tUe CT-1 was received on the lOth-now comes ; he' w 'uot a tnread-left jvbich J' 1 i . . . . . a dispatch written on thOth, the fol - lowing day, telling Commodore Schlev to hold ( lenfuegos. The court will see -ow much credibility the commander n vhief placed upon this rumor, l.ie.tt. Staunton has testified that this rumor was received on the evening of the 19th." I want to show how uncertain the whole situation was. "Commodre Schley -was supposed to know things that nobody else on earth was able to find out. The Hawk left on the 21st. If there was a certainty that the Spanish fleet was in Santiago the commander in chief would not have waited until the evening of the :!lst before advising Schiey'that the -Spanish" fleer was there. The Hawk was not tent until after dusk on the eveniug of the 21st, and yet this rhnior that i the Spanish fleer was in Santiago was received by the commander in chief on the evening of the 19th. "The Hawk brought dispatefi Xo. 8 and T have not the slightest doubt that the Hawk, also brought Xo. 7. Tht is what confuses the situation. There is o proof that any vessel brought No. 7 before No. S. We do not appear to. know what dispatches the Iowa brought. We do know, however, that the Dupont brought No. 7. that the Hawk' brought No. S and I am satis fied that the Hawk brought both 7 and s. We have two conies of No. 7. and n-here did the other come from? On the 2.3d in my judgment, occurred one of the most important events in the whole campaign the sending in of the Adula. Commodore Schley was to find out if the Spaniards were in Cienfuegos. That was the best way of finding out. That was a great deal better than send- j ing a boat ashore hi a dangerous surf i ard against the rocks and . landing at i a point where it was not known whether the eemy held the place or not. In stead of doing thafCommodore Schler Rent In the Adula for the purpose, of finding out from the refugees on board her when she came ont whether or not the Spanish fleet was or was not ;n Cienfuegos. "Now the court will recollect that the Spanish fleet had gone into Santtiago ; .u ma tu.. ni. - -or .Uil'llic linn, I11CIC illu tl bulletin rom Jamaica.

"As quickly as Schley received this information he sent the Marblehead in. an then he learned for the first time L,., iU . .nw.n f , fu0 i,.-, bor of Cienfuegos, and that they had sailed for Santiago. There is something peculiar about -all, this. "Now I don't want to criticise ex cept where .it is necessary. But about this meeting with the Marblehead. I don't want to comment on Captain Mc .Calla's actions at all. The Eagfle was sent out to communicate with the flying squadron. Now Schley, knew that it had been at Cienfuezv. and I want to say Tight here that Captain McCalla never intended to Hand any boat on the Cuban coast. He was around there eight days until by a fortunate circum stance he picked up some straggling Cubans off the water, ajid that he there arranged the signals about which there was so much secrecy and so much mys tery, and about which Commodore Schley was not supposed to Know anyxning. Now we find the Eagle sent out. Schley, of course, thought that the. Eagle would g:ve him all the information in her pos session regardi-ng the situation at Cien fuegos. ' - ; . "What was done? The Scorpion went out to meet the Eagle. McCalla told Southerkrod to give the situation, but h,e did not tell hint to give anything to Schley about the signal lights. Com modore Schley was supposed to be given no .information on the subject. The Scorpion met the Eajtfe. There a pecu liar incident occurred. Where was that message of Mr. Sutherland V It mav he s till in the megaphone." (Laughter.') "Mr. Southerland may-have taken the wrong end of that instrument." (Laugh ter.) "At any rate, one thing is certain and that is. that when the Scorpion was sent out to meet the Eagle and to get the news from Cienfuegos she did not get it al'l. ,t "What was given about the subject of a Cuban camp in the neigh borhooc of Cienfuegos? ' Not - a word. What was to'ld about a signal code having been arranged with the insurgents?

Former Congressman Pearson, of the Asheville district, was today promised by .Presi dent Roosevelt an appointment in rue diplomatic service abroad. Thi promise was brought about by Senator Pntohaid and Congressman Moody presenting mi. Pearson to the President. , Mr Pearson knew the President when he was occupying the seat i.rthe Ilouse m which Crawford was electee 1. Shh then Mr. Pearson has been to go abroad ami. as stated in lhe lot dispatches before, he had been pnml a place abroad. Now it w cim-he.1. Backed by Senator 1'ritchat and 31 r. Moodv. who accompanied Mr Pearson to the White House,-the President said '"Now, it makes no difference just what condition these batteries were found to be in. Tiiey may hare been weaK ana. tney have mir, been strong. They ,1a ay have been armed with large modern guns and ,:liey may have been armed with worthless guns. ; But the fact -reniurns that the situation was revealed." That was the purpose of rhe reconuo'ssance and that purpose wflf ; effected. Commodore Schley was sent there to discover thing3. That he did. He was expected to go down i here with the magnificent eye of Mr. Bristol, and to be able to tell the num ber of guns of eacli of the batteries and the distance .ihey could fire. The conviction struck him that he had better find out something about the batteries. He knew that .thei Spanish licet could not stay in the harbor ot Santiago forever. He knew that the ships would have to come out sooner or later; wherefore he must find ou-t about the batteries in order to " learn their strength information x which would be useful in caso the Americans closed in on. the Spanish fleet when i ;r nWl from th ,h.,rw !

Maryland Is Close and Very Not at All Certain That Dem ocrats Will Control the Legislature Baltimore, Nov. 6. Marvland is artill . in donbr.

At miduigtf:. ; however, Demo cratic success is dubious and .the Re publicans claim that their victory in the city will be also a victory-- th -' the gta'te, The laltest returns indicate that the Republicans will have 29 'members from the counties' and 17 .members from Bal timore city in the House of Delegates. Forty-eight members would give them a majority and control. Several counties !are yet to be heard from. At Democratic headquarters the claim is made that the party will have o2 members, but these figures include foi:: members from Prince George and one Sdditional member from Baltimore c:tv. Prince George is very close. Ex-Senator Gorman and Senator Mc Comas are here with the managers of both pan;ies. awaiting results and ad vising the county leaders. There is grave trouble in the 10th ward of Baltimore city. Two precincts of this ward, which is in the second leg islative district, are in disptJe. The Democratic judges refuse to count and the Republicans charge that the returns are being held hack in order to have the vote coun'ted so that the shortage would be supplied if the party were to find itself a member short in the House. In reply to the charges come sweeping denials from the Democrats, who Complete Returns of New New York, Nor. G.

Haffen and Cassidy, who won in these boroughs, are both anti-Croker men. Tammany did not even save her candidates for coroner. The fusionists appear to control the board of aildermen. Tammany, with her little bunch of al dermen, would be in the lurch even if the' Democrats counted a plurality over the f usionists. Cassidy and Haffen, being anti-Croker, the Croker faction has absolutely no voice in the board of estimate, although 2 to 14 votes in that board will be cast by opponents of the fi.sjon ticket. Returns that were missing' Tuesdny night increase Low's majority to 30,SM, Grout's to 45,000 and Fornes to L'SoOO.

Here are the revised figures on the city ticket: Bishop Hurst on the Shelf Cincinnati, Nov. 6. Bishop John F.

Li Hung Chang's firm grip on power cartv in his career was due to his army, which was the best-equipped and th best-drl'vled that could be got together in China. - At thetime of the outbreak. ofti war with Japan Li Hung Chang was at the height of his power, and, although' the Chinese disasters resulted in aoiao outward signs of disgrace visited by tlte' court upon him. it nevertheless was Li Hung Chang winy negotiated tho t:-m3 of peace.

In the first district, which Jhe Democrat claim will give them ' a member, there is also missing thi'ee preciucts in th4 fifth ward. Excitement runs high, and among the Republicans the bitterness is intense. To give,: the Democrats control in the Tower counties Republican's claim that votes . have been thrown out' in large numbers. In Dorchester, which is Chairman Goldsborough's county, it . is claimed that five hundred of the 800 bal lots said to have been thrown oult are Republican. Senator Mc-Comas has re ceived a telegram -from Congressman f Jackson, of AVicomico, - saying: "By throwing ou$ our -ballots;' the Democrats carry -hour -county - by 280." ' Congress man Sydney 13.

The charge is made that in Anne Arundel negroes were not flermf'tted to vote in one district. . " It was l.he first time "that te new ballot was tried in the state, and from a Republican standpoint it is far from satisfactory. Today the Republican committee sent lawyers i.o all the rlse counties to watch the canvassing " of the votes. There is little-doubt that the e!e;ion will take the time of the courts for months to come. Prince George's county is doubtful by four..
