Admiral Schley did not appear at tho Navy Department to-day. The naval regulations provide that every ofticer of tho navy visiting Washington shall, within twenty-four hours after his arrival, register his name and city address at tho Rureau ef Navigation, Navy Department. It is generally customary for ol'leers to comply with this regulation by appearing in person, but under the practice which obtains this is not actually neceMsary. Admiral Schley, after his arrival here last night, wrote a formal letter to the department, containing a notification of his arrival and giving his address, nnd such a letter is considered a. compliance with the above regulation.

Fad IlrotiKlit Out by the Diary of n SpauUlt Lieutenant. Washington Letter in Raltimore Americsr.. Curiously enough, the Spanish military ar.d naval authorities in Santiago believed all during the day of the battle, when Schley destroyed their fleet, that Admiral Ccrvera had escaped with his ships. The whole city was given to rejoicing over the victory until about sunset, when th news of the tragedy became known. The Rureau of Naval Intelligence has recently made public the diary of Lieutenant MulW y Tejeiro. the second in command of the naval forces in Santiago. He gives the following account of the battle as it appeared to the officers who were left behind In the city: "The day was most beautiful and the calm perfect. Therefore, the moke, far from vanishing, rose up in a stalght line. When the first moment of excitement was over und we had somewhat cooled down, we could Fee perfectly that the fmoke from the firing formed four groups, more or less distant from each other. Rut what group did our fleet form? If the one farthest to the west, then no doubt it was not surrounded and had the open sea before it, and this was a great advantage. If. on the eontrary, it formed the second or third, then it was between two fires. "Later on it was noticed that the firing was at a greater distance and decreased in intensity, and that the columns of smoke were moving farther to the west. Had they succeeded in escaping and outwitting the hostile lleet? For the present one thing was certain our ships had not gone elown in the entrance of the harbor nor even close to it, and that was of great importance, for the greatest danger was in the channel. Imagine our joy when the Morro advised us by telephone that our lleet was fighting in wing formation and that the enemy didn't have the range. Evidently the age of miracles was not over. I will not attempt to describe what we felt that day we at Santiago who have the honor of belonging to the navy. "I still had my horse at my disposal, and as I remember the anxiety in which I had left Mr. Rustamcnte and his delicate state of health, I hastened to bring him the good news, which I thought would do him a great deal of good. When I arrived he knew It already, as did everyone else in Santiago. It had spread all over the city. I found him radiant with natlsfat tion. "I may safely ay that tho ;,d of July was a day of true rejoicing, for, as will bo seen later, when I relate the events of the day, it was believed that our ships had accomplished their obje-ct, although at tho cost of the elestroycrs. the loss of which was already known. And, although we felt very sad over the victims there must havo been, the result on tho whole was no brilliant that it surpassed all reasonable expectations." It was not until 6 o'clock that evening that the Spanish awoke from their dream. Miguel Lopez, the pilot of Admiral Ccrvera's ship, arrived in the city with the full news ef the ruin of the entire Spanish fleet. "What a horrible contrast! What a bad awakening!" writes Lieutenant Tejeiro. SERFS HAVE IMPROVED. General Grant Say They Have Mnde More l'roKro Than enropn. NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Speaking of his experiences in Russia, where ho made a tour, General Fred Dent Grant, who has Just arrived from Europe, said the general feeling ef tho people of tho mlddlo and upper classes was favorable to the United States. The Russians regard the United States more as a country to buy from than to sell to. "I found the greatest improvements since my last visit to Russia, in 1S72," paid the general. "Kven tho houses are better built, and nhovv that Ruseia is advancing with the times, anil is prosperous. The Improvement in tho conditions of the Serfs is really remarkable. They were liberated about the same time that our negroes were, but they have advanced Infinitely further in the same space of tini. Army service has helped in their development physically and mentally in a way that goes far to make up for the blirelen on the nation at large." BOGUS DEGREE MILL, "31. D." Offered for ?lO nnd "Ph.

AMRItlCANS AMI IIIIIT1S1I TO OCCUPY FFKIVIVS CFI.FSTIAI. TRMPML ; Waiting; 11 Completion nf Legation IIa rraekn Sir Frnest Sateiw Op-, pouted to Withdrawal. PEKING. Aug. K The troops of the powers have not yet evacuated the public buildings. The British and Americans propose to occupy the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Agriculture until their barracks are ready. Sir Ernest Satow, the British minister, thinks it would not be wi.se to withdraw before the protocol has been signed in conjunction with the Chinese plenipotentiaries, as withdrawal would remove the chief inducement to the Chinese to tign. The Japanese still hold the northern section of the city. It is considered significant of their relations with the Chinese that a Japanese colonel has been elected to command and organize the Chinese police. The opinion is growing that the court will refuse to return so long as tho powers maintain such large forces In the province of Chi-Li. The protocol docs not provide for the destruction of the forts, the ministers of the powers having failed to agree on this point. MoMne from Ilockliill. WASHINGTON. Aug. 16. The State Department has received a cablegram from Mr. Rockhill, dated to-day, stating that it is prolable the protocol will be signed in a few days, and that he will remain at Peking in view of this prospect. Instead of leaving at once, at he had contemplated. In view of press dispatches from Peking saying the ministers have signed the preliminary draft of the protocol, Mr. Rockhill's cablegram is construed to mean that the signing he relera to is with the Chinese plenipotentiaries. FlTeetlve in Two Mouth. LONDON, Aug. It. The parliamentary secretary for the Foreign Office, Viscount Cranborne, informed Mr. Yerburgh (Conservative) in the House of Commons to-day that the new G per cent, tariff in China would not be effective until two months alter the higning ef the protocol. An exemption was granted in the case of all merchandise shipped to China within ten days of the signing. If it appears that hardships arise from this arrangement, the British government will consider whether further relaxation should not be made. APPEAL TO CIVIL COURT. Deposed Minister ot Satisfied rrlth Verdict of Clinreh Cetnrt. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Gllbert F. Williams, for ten years rector ot a Protestant Episcopal parish in this city, and who over three years ago was deposed from the ministry on charges of violation of ordination vows, conduct unbecoming a clergyman and immorality, to-day petitioned the District Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari to compel Bishop Satterb, of this dioccse to certify to the court all the acts, proceedings, etc., of the ecclesiastical court that expelled him. The minister protests his innocence of the charges and asks for a writ of eertlorari with a view to a review of the decision of tho ecclesiastical court and other redress. HOPES NOW HIGH. (CO NC LUD ED FROM FIRST PAGE.) slon to the Socialist Labor party to hold a street meeting. He says political meetings are more dangerous than gatherings of strikers on the streets. He says he will not disperse crowds on the street if they are good naturd. but will arrest the speakers at the meeting for inciting riot. The mayor got a postal card to-day warning him to look out, as the fool killer Is headed toward McKeesport, and is liable to pick him off. He also refused permission to the strikers to hold a twenty-round fight between Jack McClelland and M. Donovan for the benefit of the strike fund. About twenty-three hundred men of the 15,000 idle in this city are organized. Many of those not in organizations are chafing at Idleness, but do not want to work unless assured protection." SHAFFER XOT SURPRISED. Says He Expected the Strike to Spread 3Iore Mills to II Closed. PITTSBURG, Pa,, Aug. 16. "The spread of the strike," said President Shaffer tonight, "ha not surprised me. It is not even up to my expectations. By this I do not mean that I ara disappointed by the way tho men havo come out, but that I am certain that more will come out In a short time. All those who are out arc going to stay out, too. There is room for believing that men in McKeesport will break away from their present position in spite of the stories to the contrary. Other mills will be closed before many days, and the spread of tho strike will go on with the same regularity that has characterized It in the past." In reply to queries regarding tho reports received from Assistant Secretary Tighe, now in Milwaukee, Mr. Shaffer said: "I do not look for any statement from Mr. TiRhe until he returns home. He will be too busy while on his trip to devote any time to making any reports. We will know more about tho feeling of the men in the West when a direct statement Is made from him. Any breach of the peace that has thus far taken placo since the strike began has not come from us, but from tho other side. We have obeyed all laws and counseled peaceful means In the conduct of the strike. If the trust continues to openly transgress the laws as It is doing in Monessen, we cannot be held responsible for the consequences." Mr. Shaffer then went on to describe how the Amalgamated men had had every inducement to riot and had resisted the temptation. In one or 'two Instances the matter had been referred to the authorities. In concluding his statement Fresddent Shaffer said that he always would endeavor to carry on this strike with perfect regard for all laws. It had been consplcuous for this reason so far, and the Amalgamated Association Intended to show tho people that the steel workers were capable of handling the contest legally. "The men have boon Insulted, aggravated and abused, and have remained silent under this treatment," he said. "They have regarded every attempt on the part of those. Interested to draw them into a riot as direct agents of the trust, who were seeking thia very means of getting the police and militia to aid them in fighting the workingmen." President Shaffer's confidence In the unionism of the Bay view men at Milwaukee whs of the positive kind, and he felt sure they would come out as soon as the true situation was explained to them, as did the Joliet workers. Advices from Youngstown show that by unanimous f.ction the steel workers of the Atnerican Steel Hoop Company eleclded they would not attend the meeting asked for by the ofliclals of the company. The men say they are familiar with the proposition which tho conference offered and did not need to be notlüed by ihe oJflclals of its terms. General Superintendent I. W. Jenks, of the American Steel Hoop Company, to-night expres--.d regret that the men refused to meet the officials in conference as he believed certain misunderstandings could have been explained. He said further that under no circumstances would his company tyx the hcale of the Pittsburg mill, but reiterated the statement that it stands ready at any time to sign for the mills of this district, which includes the two plants here and those at Girard, Warren and Greenville. He made no threat, and yet intimated that it is the purpone of the company to start the mills of this district shortly, whether or no. . SHIT DOWN AT JOLIET. Employes of the Illinois Steel Compony Quiet Yesterday. JOLIET, III., Aug. 16. When the 2.2jo employes of the Illinois Steel Company (constituent company of the United States Steel Corporation) joined tho ranks of the strikers to-day the streets of this city teok ea sl holiday abearance. All the Illinois

steel mills are c!oed except the blat furnace. Those on strike in this city now are: Illinois Steel Company (various department?) 1'." American Tin-plate Company u1 Pressed Steel Car Company i" By the closing down of th Illinois works idleness for lack of material is almost certain to come upon the following within a week: American Steel and Wire Company 2.o) Joliet stove works to Phoenix Horseshoe Company ro Miscellaneous 2U) There was no disorder whatever to-day. While the strike leaders ar.d company ortlclals were equally reticent, it was i-tated by one of the latter that the furnace tires have not been drawn, in the hope of an early settlement. General Superintendent Sheldon, of the Illinois Steel Company, savs plans are being made which probably will put a newphase on the situation. What these plans are he refuses to pay. Samuel Adam, vie-e president of the Amalgamated Association in Joliet. returned this afternoon from Pittsburg, where he ha been In conference with President Shaffer. He issued a call for a joint conference of the four steel mill lodges to-morrow morning. He declined to tell the object of the meeting or to dl?cu?s the strike situation In any particular. It is reported a movement is on to unionize all labor in the steel mills outside the Amalgamated As?cciation, bringing into the organization 1,UX skilled men not now in the union, ani all the common laborers. Bayvievr Men 31ay Strike. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 16. The members of the Bayview Lodge of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers will to-morrow afternoon decide for a second time whether they will obey the order of President Shaffer. Michael F. Tighe, representing President Shaffer, accompanied by W. C. Davis, vice president of the Fourth district of the Amalgamated Association, reached Milwaukee this afternoon and to-night had a conference with President Redfern, of the local lodge. The chances seem to favor a strike, the sentiment in that direction seeming to have gained strength since the men at Joliet decided to go out. Should the men decide to remain at work and their charter is revoked the matter will be taken up to the next national convention for settlement. Michael F. Tighe was seen shortly before midnight upon his return from Bayview. Mr. Tighe expressed his opinion that the Bayview men would vote to go out at tomorrow's meeting, adding: "If the Milwaukee men don't strike I am very much mistaken."

Koutli Chicago Rumor Denied. CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-At South Chicago to-night thero was no . indication of any desire on the part of the members of the Amalgamated Association to reconsider their action of last Sunday, when they refused to strike. "There is absolutely nothing new In the situation." said Deputy Vice President Fair, of the Fourth, district. "1 know that up to the present time 1 have seen no indication -of a desire to reconsider the refusal to strike. No call has been made for a meeting for that purpose and none suggested. The statement that some of the men are calling on Mr. Tighe to come back is untrue." GOMPEUS TOO TAME. Other I.nlior Lenders U'nnt More Forcible Action Taken. CLEVELAND. O., Aug. 16.

Representatives from the Federation of Labor will be present, It is said, and President Gompers will be urged to ask the various unions In alliance with the Federation of Labor to refuse to handle.

Vice President John Pierce, of tho Amalgamated Association, not satisfied with his attempt to organize the Duncansville mill of the American Steel Hoop Company several weeks ago, visited Duncansville again to-day, but on a different mission. He did not come to organize, but to ask th men not to-go to places where the Amalgamated men are out and take their places. This, of course, most of the men refused to do, many of them owning their homes at Duncansville, and work 13 plenty there, although the pay Is a little less than at Pittsburg and vicinity. Pierce also visited Hollidaysburg, where a number of Amalgamated men are working who quit the Duncansville mill after hin flrnt visit. These men will ue their influence to keep the nonunion men at Hollidaysburg from taking the strikers' places at other mills. Pierce left for littsburg to-night. Declined to Go Into Conference YOUNGSTOWN. O., Aug. 16.-The employes of the American Steel Hoop Company at the two mills here voted unanimously to-day against a proposition presented by Superintendent McCoombs for an informal conference regarding the scale.

Peter McQueen, in Leslie' Weekly. In Russia everybody speaks to you in a free and easy way, from an imperial minister down to a moujlk. I had not been on the train for Moscow five minutes before I was acquainted with a professor, a student, and a business man. We all talked Indifferent French, but we got along. The carriages are on the boudoir system; that in, the cars are divided into little rooms capable of seating four nnd of giving each ono a bed for th night." There are also special sleepers. The atsl runs down the side of the car, nnd each little room can be closed oft from th rest of th world. It Is only pi from Bt. Petersburg to Moscow. The sleeping accommodation is better than on tho- Pullmans; not so frightfully Indecent and uncomfortable. When I reach a city I take a cab to the hotel. Then rido about in the tretcar; then visit the prominent features, as. for instance, in Moscow, the Kremlin; then saunter among the shops and try to pick up ideas. The Russian language is not so difficult to pronounce. It is th grammar which J hard. The alphabet contain! thirty-six letters." but two of thene are mute; one is used only In two words of the whole dictionary, and several are precisely the eame as C.reek letters. Some of the letters aro entirely different In round and the same In shape. For Instance, JI N, P R, and II V. Thus, h-o-b-o-e rpclli Novoe, It look Uko ,hobo" a tramp.
