HOPES FOR A BREEZE

Mit THOMAS I.IPTOS SAYS Sil AMhock can i si: o.m;. He Ha Confidence In His Hont und AViintn o More Such "Procehionn an thnt of Thursday. CAPT. BARR, TOO, HAS FAITH SAYS COLlMniA IS GOOD AS KYKIt, HIT M:i:I)S WIM). Odd .Made Longer in the IlettiiiK 011 the Defender London Comment In Pessimistic. NKVYORK. Sept. 27. The first race of the America's cup series, which, after a disappointing day of ttuky airs, was abandoned in a dead calm on Thursday, will be resailed to-morrow over a course ofl the Sandy Hook lightship. A beat to windward or a run to leeward and return will be sailed, the course depending on the direction of the wind at the time the yachts arrive at the lightship. According to the agreement, the first, the third and the fifth races are to be sailed lift en miles to windward or to leeward and return, the second and the fourth races being over a course represented by an equilateral triangle measuring ten nautical miles to the leg. Late to-night the Weather Bureau issued the following bulletin: 'The wind off Sandy Hook on Saturday will bo fresh and easterly in the morning and probably will shift to the northeast in the afternoon, increasing to brisk." According to the definition of a "fresh breeze," interpreted into figures from th: standard of the Weather Bureau, in the morning the velocity of the wind will vary Irom ten to nineteen miles an hour. By a I risk breeze is meant one driving anywhere between twenty and twenty-nine miles an hour. "We must have wind," Sir Thomas Upton taid, "and from the present indications, we shall get it to-morrow. If it comes and there is a race, all America and all Britain will rejoice, i'or then we shall have the first adequate test of the yachts. "Why, none hcie has seen that boat sail as yet," he declared. "Give her a chance. The race of Thursday was a procession of llukes and a bouquet of lizzies which it would bo hard to equal, even if searching the records of the races two years ago. "I am just as confident as ever, and all aboard Captain Sycamore, Mr. Watson. I.lr. Katsey and Mr. Jameson share my conviction. We have seen the ShamrocK sail and know what she is capable of. We have also seen the Columbia sail, and not for the first time this year, -and we know what she can do. We are more confident than ever. But give the Shamrock a fair breeze." "What do you call a fair breeze?" he wr.s asked. ' Oh, a ni'-e breeze." "At about what speed of wind?" "Say ten or twelve or fifteen knots, anything. In fact, over eight knots an hour. We do not mind a sea if only we have the wind to drive us. The sea will not bother us unless, indeed, like last time, there Is a sea and no wind. We do not want a regular easterly gale, for that would make things unpleasant for all concerned. But we hope for a nice breeze and good race to-morrow. Kven had one of the loats been able to finish within the time limit In Thursday's race, the test would have been highly unsatisfactory, regardless of the winning boat. "All I desire is a snapping breeze tomorrow." said K. I). Morgan, managing owner of the Columbia, on board the Bark City, the Columbia's tender. "Don't interpret this to mean that In a strong wind the Columbia can win, for. as to that, only the test can tell, but I want a race, a good bona fide contest, where the mettle of both the marine steeds will be tested. "Yesterday's trial was not only 'no race.' but it was no contest. Because the American boat was in. the lead when we had llukes In the winr it is no reason why we should declare that the Columbia has outclassed the Shamrock. Time alone can solve that problem. We hope for victory, but that is all we can do at present. The Columbia Is in as good condition to-day as she was yesterday, and never was she in better condition than she was then. We are all hoping for a good breeze and now there are some slight indication that we may have it." Columbia and Shamrock lay quietly at their moorings in Sandy Hook bay to-day. The former tlew the stars and stripes, but the Shamrock had no flags at either the foremast or taffrall. There was no intention on the part of the American boat crew to send her out for a spin to-day. Captain Barr had his crew at work overhauling some of the light sails. He said he thought the Columbia was going a? fast as she ever did, and that when in a breeze she will give a good account of herself. "She does not need any more spins just now," he said. "She Is in very good shape." Everything was quiet on board the Shamrock. The owner went aboard about 11 o'clock and remained for some time. From an authentic source it was learned to-day there is a very strong protest on the part of Captain Sycamore and those in charge of the Shamrock at what they term crowding of the Shamrock at the start yesterday by Captain Barr. "If he is going to continue those tactics there will be serious trouble," said the perron quoted. "What he did yesterday would not be tolerated for an instant in a race in British waters. He must not expect us to stand it, and we won't. Our relations with the. New York Yacht Club and with the principals in this event have been so extremely pleasant that it is to be hoped one man's actions shall not be permitted to mar them." More I'ncer to Hot. NKW YORK, Sept. 27. The result of yesterday's yacht race stimulated betting in Wall street, and odds of 10 to f, were offered against the challenger. A prominent broker offered to bet $10,X to $tf,imo on the Columbia. l"p to noon there were no takers. Small bets that the Shamrock would not take a race were plentiful at even money. I.OM)() fOMMHM. It I Decidedly Pessimist Ic nnd Some Im in Bad Tnsfe. LONDON, Sept. 27. The Saturday Review is the only weekly which deals with the yacht races. Its comment consists of two caustic columns headed "Sport or Snobbery." deciding that the races partake more of the latter than of the former. The paper concludes: "Yacht racing is. or was, as real a national sport as any. The greater pity, therefore, to foist Uon it this load of nobblsh vulgarities." The Field, which thinks that "past experience should have taught the advisability at this time of the year of starting the races earlier in the day, so as to minimize thf cham'fs of a breeze falling ofT," says: "Although it would be imprudent to form hasty deductions from the races of a fluke an.1 inclusive trial, it Is impossible to ttisguise the fact that during the time when the wind was faitly reliable 'the jerformance of Shamrock 11 was distinctly disappointing to her supporters. For our own part, we must admit that she performed quite as well as wo expected In the uncomfortable swt-11 whic h prevailed. To be seen at her b-st Shamrock II needs a light wind and si'.ooth vatr." Th field quotes the Ouillion of C. P. Clayton. f Southampton, that th main question at isu between Shamrock II and the Columbia is whether the nxtra sail area of the former will be sufiiclent to overcome the extra wetted surface In her fin. Mr. Clayton suggfsts that :l:e additional wet teil surface is about 20 square feet, and he expresses the opinion that while sailing to the windward, the Columbia with her small surface will be successful. ai,l that the -xtra snll of Shamrock 11 will only avail her whn running free. In conclusion the Field sayn: "We cannot help feeling that victory will rt-t with

the ves?el having the more moderate form of body ami. lints better suited to sailing in a rolling sea and a fairly fresh wind."

"Describe the commodore's manner on this occasion." said Captain Lemly. "The commodore was sitting in his chair all the time I was talking to him, very quietly. He seemed to be very much perplexed at what to do." "Do you remember whether there was anything said about communication with the insurgents?" "There was something said by me." "In the commodore's presence?" "No; to the chief of staff, on deck. The commodore was in the cabin." "Can you state whether or not during the time you were in Cienfuegos with the Hawk, any effort was made to communicate with the insurgent Cubans?" "There was not." Mr. Raynor began his cross-examination a few minutes before 1 o'clock, ind had not proceeded far when the court took a recess for luncheon. When the court bean its afternoon session Mr. Raynor continued his cross-examination of Lieutenant Hood. The latter said his recollection was that he had delivered his dispatches to Commodore Schley in bis (Schley's) cabin, but it might be that he had handed them to Lieutenant Wells and had walked down was no one in the cabin when the conversation between himself and the commodore had taken place. Mr. Raynor was proceeding to question the witness concerning his conversation with Admiral Sampson when Admiral Schley leaned over and warded him that his conversation had been ruled out. Mr. Kaynor then changed his line of questioning. He said: "I want to ask you whether. In this conversation with Commodore Schley upon this occasion, h? did not tell you that Admiral Sampson had instructed him be-

CAPT. BOWMAN II. McCALIrA, V. S. N. Captain McCalls. the la?t witness In Friday's hearing ef th Schley inquiry, pave the mpt important and sensational testimony of tho day. Captain McCalla, as commander of the Marblehead during tho Spanish war. landed the marines at (luantanamo, whose gallant Hjzht asainst the Spaniard in the early summer ef lS is one of the most conspicuous minor events in the annals of the American navy, and he commanded the naval contingent in the Peking expedition of :', adding new liutels to an already illustrious name.

fore he left for Santiago to satisfy himself that the Spanish licet was not at Cienfuegos." The reply was: "I gathered from his conversation that he had, In some of the dispatches which were written previously to the dispatch T carried to him. which was of considerably later date and therefore, of course, annulled all the otheis.""But this dispatch you carried gave him that discretion." "That was not the latest dispatch whose contents I knew." Captain Lemly then asked: "Wasn't your understanding that the Adula In the communication with the Brooklyn led the officers of the Brooklyn to believe that the Spanish fleet had arrived at Santiago one day and come out of the harbor the next day? Wasn't that the impression it left on your mind?" The reply was: "The Impression made on my mind was no impression whatever. It Is mv recollection that at that date I knew the fleet was in Santiago." CAPTAIN M'CALLA. Lieutenant Hood then was excused and Captain Bowman II. MeCalla, who commanded the Marblehead during the Spanish war, was called. Witness had first come into contact with the flying squadron on May 10, lsys. When he was proceeding from the south coast of Cuba to Key West, he met the squadrcn on its way to Cuba. Witness said he had not been asked to come aboard the Brooklyn for the purpose of making a report on conditions In Cuba, but had made a full report to Captain Chadwick, Admiral Sampson's chief of staff, when he arrived at Key West. On this point he said: "In addition to written reports or dispatches which I carried 1 explained to the chief of staff the secret code which I had established with the Cubans near Cienfuegos That was not done until I heard that Commodore Schley was proceeding to Cienfuegos." Q. "To whom, according to the best of your recollection, did you communicate that secret code of signals?" A "Only to Captain Chadwick, chief of staff." Q. "Did you make any written report respecting those signals?" A. "Never: it was a secret code arranged by myself, and I did not wish any publicity to be given this code, because the Cubans might be betrayed by any publicity which would reach the Spanish government in Havana." Q. "Did you have any fear of betrayal of our own "force in like manner?" A. "I thought that was possible, of course: that was in my mind at the time." o. "How long after you reached Key West before you made that communication to the chief of staff?" A "So soon as 1 reached the flagship and found that the flying squadron had been directed to Cienfuegos." Captain MeCalla next told of his return to Cienfuegos on the 24th of May. with dispatches for Admiral Schley. He said: "It had been reported authoritatively in Key West on the b'th of May and when I mailed on the afternoon of the 21st of May that the Spanish squadron was still at Santiago." cj. "And you communicated that information to Commodore Schley verbally?" HIS Tltll ASHOIiK. A. "Commodore Schley told me he thought the Spanish squadron was in Cienfuegos; that he had received newspapers from the steamer Adula some days previous; that one of the newspapers contained a cable dispatch from Santiago, and from that he gathered that the Spanish force under Admiral Ccrvera might have sailed from Santiago in time to reach Cienfuegos just before the arrivel of the force under Ida command. 1 said that l bad brought arms, ammunition and dynamite for the Cuban camp to the westward, and that if he would let me go 1 would rind out at once whether they were in Cienfuegos. He immediately assented. I asked him if he had seen any lights on the beach. He said he had. 1 asked If be saw three. He said be had. I then said the lights were from Cubans trying to communicate. 1 may have asked him if he saw three horses in line on the beach by day." Captain MeCalla then related how he h id gene ashore near Cienfuegos, and found the Cubans drawn up in line. He gave them food and ammunition. "We found." he Hddfd. "that Cervcra was not Inside the harbor, and that. In fact, the situation In Cienfuegos was exactly as it was when I left it on the ltith of the same month." Captain MeCalla said he ent the Information obtained to Schley by the Eagle, signaling that vessel to proceed at full speed ami report to the Brooklyn that Cervera wns not In Cienfuegos. At that tlrr.e witness vrns teaming with only two boilers and the Eagle could steam faster than the Marblehead.

Q. "Diil you consider that information as of urgent importance then?" A. "I considered It of great imiortance." Q. Then what did you do? A. We fallowed with the Marblehead. reaching the Brooklyn between 3 and t o'clock, somewhat lehind the Hagle. 7 Did you go on board the Brooklyn? A. I steamed under the quarter of the Brooklyn, and after some conversation with Commodore Schley 1 asked if he would like me to go on bomb He said he would. I wtjit on board and. of coui.se. continued the fact that Admiral Cervera s fleet was not in Cienfuegos. I saw tin a for the first time U"it set of instructions for Commodore Schley. During the conversation the commodore asked me to read the instructions, and after I had read tlum he asked me what I thought he had better do. Previous to this he had said that he could not coal off Santiago; that the English had demonstrated that ship could not coal at sea. He also said that if he returned to Key West he would be courtmartialed. It was after this that he handed me the orders which I read. After readying them I said: "Commodore, I think you must return to Santiago, even if you do not stay there." IN SCHLEY'S CABIN. Q. Where were you when Commodore Schley said that if he returned to Key West ho would be court-martialed? A. I was in the cabin of the Brooklyn. The interview lasted perhaps half an hour. Captain Cook cither came in frequently or remained the winde time. . Lieutenant Sears came in once. Q. I assume you do not recollect whether any of those gentlemen were present when that remark was made? A. That I cannot say. Q. Did you hear any reports or remarks, conversational or otherwise? A. While I was there the flag lieutenant, I think, came in twice to report signals. One was regarding the amount of coal on each of the ships. The other was a report to the effect that the Mcrrimac had 3,y0c tons of coal. Q. Was anything further said on the subject of going to Santiago? A. 1 don't remember tiiat anything was .'aid then in reply to my suggestions. Snortlv afterward the admiral said: 'This is a matter I shall have to decide mysed, and you may return to your ship." In replv to further questions Captain MoCilla said that no effort had been madewhile he was with the Hying squadron oli

Cienfuegos to prevent the Spaniards from continuing the construction of earthworks, which he had been ordered to do. He saiu the Mcrblehead could have gone within rane of their works, and that he had been told by a Cuban pilot that the water was deep, under the blmTs. Captain MeCalla said the squadron had not proceeded "with all dispatch to Santiago." After telling of the cruise from Cienfuegos to Santiago, of the arrival off that city and of the retrograde movement toward Key West, the witness was asked if the Marblehead could have coaled on the afternoon and evening of May -t, when the Hying squadron arrived off Santiago. He replied In the affirmative, but said he had not considered the vessel in need of coal. FIRING ON THE COLON. In response to questions he next related briefly the bombardment of the Cristobal Colon, on May 31. When asked what had been left undone to accomplish the destruction of that vessel he replied that Admiral Schley had failed to use his entire force In making the attack. Mr. Hanno, inquired if this was an important omission. Captain Parker, on behalf of Admiral Schley, objected.' The objection was sustained by Admiral Dewey, he remarking that "such questions should not be asked under the ruling of the court." Captain Parker was about to proceed with further remarks, whereupon Admiral Dewey asked him to desist, saying: "We will adjourn now; we can take all day tomorrow for that." Accordingly, at 4 o'clock, the. court adjourned. During the afternoon session of the court, while Admiral Sampson's relation to the campaign was indirectly under discussion in connection with i magazine article by the admiral, Mr. W. H. Stay ton, attorney-at-law of New York city! sent to the court a note from Admiral Sampson requesting that counsel be allowed to appear before the court in his behalf. Lieutenant Hood was at that time on the stand, and no immediate reply was made to his request. Mr. Stayton, who was present in the room, then approached Admiral Dewey to remind him of the request. The admiral told him that a reply would be made to his letter, and asked him to remain outside the railing inclosing the court. When Lieutenant Hood had concluded Judge Advocate Lemly. by direction of the court, read Admiral Sampson's letter, written at Brook Haven. Lake Sunapee, -V 11., under date of Sept. i. and addressed to Admiral Dewey, as follows: "Sir l respectfully request that Messrs. Stayton and Campbell be permitted to appear before tho .court of inquiry as my counsel to represent my interests." Addressing the court the judge advocate said: "If the court please the precept in the third clause from the bottom savs: " 'Hear Admiral Schley has been Informed of his right to be present there in person or by counsel during the investigat:n to cross-examine witnesses and to offer evidence before the court should he so desire. The court may at any time grant to others interested and entitled there to like privileges.' "I have only to say that I have not considered and I still think that Admiral Sampson is not a party to this inquiry. The matttr is one within the discretion of the court." Admiral Dewey responded: "The court decides that they cannot appear." Before the court adjourned a formal reply to Admiral Sampson's letter was read anil a copy of it handed to Mr. Stayton. After the court adjourned Mr. Stayton said to-morrow he would again renew his request to be allowed to appear in Admiral Sampson's behalf. He arid-d that the continued references to Admiral Sampson were offensive and should be properly met. He further stated that he did not regard favorably efforts on the part of the judge advocate to prevent exploitation of Admiral Sampson's part In the war. He thought it better to bring the matter in and meet t'r.e questions squarely. - NO ltlXOItl) I'(UM). MuiiiiIm Hcttvceii Fleet und Army Not AvnilHll lor tlir Court. WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.

The Austtians are virtually paying homage to ?he members of the German expeditionary corps who ate visiting Vienna on their return from China. The reception at the railway station in the Austrian capital was extremely enthusiastic. Among the prominent civilians who were present was Dr. Lueger, chief burgomaster, who said to the visitors: "The population of Vienna welcomes you. gallant and loyal soldiers, who have propagated the glory of the German name in the far East. We hail your appearance among us as a new guarantee of the friendship which has long united Austria and Germany." An Austrian officer who participated in the welcome at Trieste extolled the excellence of the German ofhVers, their sense of duty, sociability, modesty and amiability, and he declared that the men had more than normal education, intelligence and conscience. The soldiers themselves declared that they had a line sea voyage, on? of them remarking: "We did not see much millennial culture in China, and we found the Chinese very cunning, especially the women, who are as false as snakes and as comely as devils."
