You n Mm Kay lie TTonUl Lle the Privilege of Asking Admiral .kamp loa One Question The Jlrooklyn In the Battle of Santiago. Captain Thomas F. Schley, eldest son of Admiral Winfield S. Schley, who is stationed at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City, Sunday outlined some points that will be brought out in the court of inquiry as to his father's conduct at the battle of Santiago. He declared that some startling facts will be brought to light if the whole truth Ehall become known, and that the reputations of persons other than his father are likely to suffer. "I have Just written to my father," said Captain Schley, "that I thought he ought to spare nobody and that ho should withhold none of the facts In his possession about Admiral Sampson or anybody else."

THAT $280,000,003 PROBLEM VERY SIMPLE.

mm iMl i feÄf

Uncle Sam "Gentlemen, there ought to be no trouble in settling this matter. As I understand it. Andrew Carnegie, who got the money that did not go to the steel workers, is now wondering how to give away two hundred and eighty million dollars. That's the trust Bide. The other side, the working-Twenty-third infantry, in command at Fort Douglas. Although he has not had a letter from his father since the court of inquiry was ordered, he is familiar with the questions at issue, and pointed out some of the facts that will be urged in the admiral's defense. "When the court of inquiry meets," said Captain Schley, T vould like to have the privilege of asking Admiral Sampson just one question: 'If the battle of Santiago had resulted in defeat, to whom would the blame be attached?' This. I think, tells the situation in a nutshell. If Admiral Schley had lost the battle he would have been blamed. He won it, and he should have the credit. The accusations that are made are ridiculous when they are investigated. Take, for example, the charge of disobedience of orders in May, 1S0S. An attempt has been made to saddle the responsibility on my father. The fact is that he has a letter from Admiral Sampson telling him to do exaet'y what he did, and this letter will be produced at the inquiry. At that '.imp he was maintaining the Wockado off Cienfr.egos. Secretary Long wired Admiral Saranon strongly advising that the blockading fleet po to Santiago in the hope of finding th? Spanish fleet there. Adm'ral Sampson sent the dispatch to Admiral Schley with a note in which he said: 'After duly considering the telegram I have decided to make no change In the present plans that iß, you should ho'd your squadron olf Cienfuegos.' This letter was suppressed. Regarding the maneuvers of the Brooklyn at the time of the ba.ttle, Captain Schley says the facts all go to show that this was the best move under the circumstances. The part played by the Brooklyn in the battle certainly compares favorably wi'h that of the New York, he thinks. "If this inquiry is full and fair," declared Captain Schley, "some facts will be disclosed that will startle the public. My father has several strong cards up his sleeve, and I trust he will make use of them all." Captain Schley enlisted in the army in 1884, and was appolnte'd a second lieutenant in the Twenty-third infantry seven years later. He has served with his regiment all through Its Klent Proapeetora Drowned. The steamer Hasting, from Skaguay, brought forty Dawson passengers and 300,000 in gold dust to Vancouver, B. C. Eight men who started from White Horse for Dawson in scows on June 10 are missing. The scows have been found wrecked at Freeman's Point, and the eight prospectors are believed to have been drowned. Their names are: George McLeod, J. McGuirc, D. O'Connor, F. Lynch, Antoine Currene, G. TyrtU, J. M. Taylor and T. McDonald. Shffata Girl and Hlnmalr. John Benesh and Agnes Jirsa of Walford, Benton county, Iowa, engaged in a lovers' quarrel. Benesh induced the girl to go with him for a walk, and on the outskirts of the village he shot her. He then turned the revolver on himself. Probably both will die.

ESCAPED BEING BURIED ALIVE. Mlshawaka Man, Stipp .f I to 15 Dead, KeturuH to I.lf. A singular ease of suspended animation was recorded at Mishawaka. Ind., Sunday. At 11 o'clock Saturday morning a telegram came from Harvey, 111., announcing" the death of Charles Vrooman, until a short time, ago a well-known merchant here. Blood poisoning due to burns was the cause assigned. Local papers published his obituary last evfning. Upon receipt of the dispatch the relatives hastened to the Illinois town to take charge of the remains and arrangements were progrespirg In this city for the reception of the corpse and the burial, the supposed dead man being a leading mc-rrbfr of local sccrft societies. About 7 o'clock Saturday evening, however, a second message came, declaring that Vrooman had returned to life, the remarkable transition taking place in view of relatives and the undertaker. Governor Allen of Porto Rico is to retire on Sept. 1, and he will be succeeded by William H.

"Let the workers be well paid now, instead of piling up hundreds of millions moro for some future Carnegie to puzzle over." Chicago American. Promotion for McN'lchoU. Charles S. McXichois, formerly editor of the Momence Press -Reporter, this county, has been promoted from Indian agent at the Colorado river agency in Ari.ona to the position of special agent for the Interior Department. His duties will be the inspection of the forty-right Indian agencies of the country and the disbursing of the annuity funds to the Indians under treaties made years ago. His first work will be the disbursement of about $3,000 to the various Sioux tribes in South 'Dakota. As he can only draw $25.000 from the treasury at one time, under his bond, this will keep him in that place for several weeks. McXiehols' salary and per diem amounts to $3.090 a year, and all of his traveling expenses are paid. His successor as Indian agent will be Jesse Moore of Danville. CkIW the .lu de a Liar. Mrs. Annie Uiehr of Cincinnati was committed to jail at Batavia, O., by Judge Parrott because she had called him a liar in open court. She had j'sked for a divorce from her husband, August E. Blehr of N-w Richmond, but it was refused. Tluir child had previously been held by each parent in turn during alternate months. She had promised the judge to give the child to the father on a certain date and when asked to do so refused. To the judge's question whether she had not agreed to give up the child she replied, "You are a liar." She was sent to jail until she retracts the statement, which she saj-s she will never do. ltrldc Toll-Taker Slabbed. Frank Bakalars, toll-taker on the Mississippi river wagon bridge at La Crosse, Wis., was stabbed, probably fatally, by William Warnoch, who attempted to cross the bridge without paying toll. Eakalars drove Warnoch off the structure, when the latter turned and stabbed him in the back. As Bakalars fell he drew his pistol and fired at his assailant, striking him in the arm. The police arrived at this point and both were taken to the station In the ambulance. While Warnoch's wound is inconsequential, It Is feared that Bakalars will not recover. Fifteen Slnln In Exploalan. An explosion of petroleum In the harbor at Stockholm. Sweden, on board the American schooner Louise Adelaide, Captain Orr, which left Philadelphia April -4, and Portland, Me., June 4, for Stockholm, resulted in the death of Captain Orr, ten members of the steamer's crew and four Swedieh customs oflicials. Two of the crew were saved. The explosion set the schooner afire and the blazing petroleum enveloped the vessel and those on board. Mar Have Lynched llrltfaber. It Is now believed that William Ct nish, the negro sailor who is supposed to have been lynched at Port Royal, Beaufort, S. C, on Sunday night, was a subject of Great Britain. He came to Beaufort, S. C, from the British West Indies on a sailing vessel some weeks ago, and his deportment toward the whites was said to have been in soma instances Inso'ent, he claiming the King of England would protect him. No trace of the missing man or his body has yet been found.

Carefully prepared estimates on the losses to crops n the west, due to hi a' and want of rain, show the followng figures: Kansas, $300,e00,C.0; Missouri, $150.000,000; Nebraska, $50,000,0') ); Iowa, $25,000.000; Ohio, $20,000,OOO: Wisconsin, 20,000,000; Indiana, $10.000,000; Illinois, $10,000,000. Crop damage in Indiana Is greater than has been estimated, ep'-cially in the southern part. In the Indianapolis section the ccrn oh high ground has been burned till it will not yield hall a crop. Melons will be short 50 or G) per cent, and potatoes will not niako more than half a crop. In Knox, Daviess, Orange, Monroe and other counties in those sections, the corn on high ground will not average five bushels to the acre. Miami, Carroll, Howard, Henry and other counties report great damage to crops, but not to the extent of the southern and southwestern counties. Even should heavy rain fall in Wisconsin corn will not be more than half a crop, and most of it will be of little use, except as forage. Tobacco is almost a total failure, oats about 40 per cent of a crop. Dairymen, are selling their cows, owing to the scarcity of feed. Notices are being sout by Dean Henry of the college of agriculture to ail newspapers in the northern part cf the state where rain has been abundant, urging the farmers to save evcr' particle of feed of every kind, as there will ba a big demand for it at good prices. In Illinois the injury to corn is not sreat as yet, but loaves arc curling and in a few places tassels and top leaves dyi'ig; sood rains within a week or ten days would save corn, but yield will bo below average; crop looks well in vicinity of Springfield and is able to stand ten days more drought; hay harvest nearly over, light crop; gardens and potatoes badly injured; pastures bare, farmers feeding stock; wells and stock water becoming scarce; peaches fair; apples continue dropping.

Three men and many cattle were killed, while an entire flock of sheep and two shepherds were carried off by the flood. Some of the hailstones weighed three pounds. Tling Try to Wreck Train. A gang of desperadoes attempted to wreck a train on the Gale branch of the Illinois Central railroad near Texas Junction, 111., by placing two tie rails across the tracks just by the side of a ravine, and on a curve of the road. A passer-by detected the obstruction, and in attempting to remove the same was attacked by the men, but escaped and reached the station in time to save the train. Sheriffs Griffin and Peak arrested Rolla Atkins as a suspect Woman Falls Six Storlea. Mrs. B. De Graff of Racine, Wis., fell from a slj-story window of the Hotel Morrison, Chicago.

BIG BLAZE AT DAVENPORT.

Vir Destroy Mill. Lnmlier and Residences Worth 800,000. Fire laid waste an area of sawmill and residence property in Davenport, Iowa, Thursday evening equal to two ordinary city blocks. The flames started at 2:30 in the big piles of kindling wood of the Rock Island Fuel Company on the levee. The brisk breeze blowing carried the flames directly across the immense lumber yauls o! Weyerhar.ser & Denkmann, whit I: soon wero a mass of flames. The spread of the fire was so rapid that the workman had barely time to desert the yard, some losing their cents and dina r palls. The flames pushed tlu-ir way Into the adjoining u sid -;ee district, closely settled with niid-H .-class homes of an averag value of a few thousand dollars each, from which th-3 occupants escaped only with their lives and the clothing on their backs. Over fifty homes were burned, some tenements, resulting in 100 families being rendered homeless. Others deserted their hemes in the threatened district. Vacant houses all over town wre filled with furniture removed from the Imperiled district. Tar and Feathers Follow Asviult. Valentine Miller after being tarred and feathered in West Chicago, 111., was saved from being lynched only by the strenuous resistance of the older men in the angry crowd which surrounded him. Instead of hanging there was substituted riding him out of town on a rail. The younger men in the crowd, aroused by the unusual experience of tarring and feathering, and excited by the cries of the hundreds of angry women, were anxious for more conclusive vengeance, and for a time fought fiercely to got a rope around Millar's neck. The people of West Chicago were aroused by the appearance of Mrs. Miller running down the main street, crying loudly, and with blood running from numerous cuts on her head and face. The beating she had received she declared was the last one of a Ions series for which her husband was responsible. She said she had ben knocked down and struck repeatedly across the face and breast. Admiral Schlar Requests Investigation. Admiral Schley will ask an investigation of his conduct during the Cuban campaign by a naval court of inquiry and will sub the author of Maclay's history for libel. He made known his determination at Washington in response to urgent inquiries from the Washington Post. The editor of that paper telegraphed Admiral Schley that in an editorial it insisted that he owed it to himself as well as to his friends to begin proceedings against Mr. Maclay to disprove the hatter's charge, adding: "Will you do this? Please wire statement." Admiral Schley's statement follows: "Great Neck, L. I., July 23. Editor Washington Post: I believe the first step should be investigation of all matter by a court, then a civil action afterward. I am preparing to take thl3 course. W. S. Schley." Cape Hebel Executed. Two Cape rebels have been executed at Kenhardt. The government issued a proclamation authorizing the commandeering of horses in the Mount Fletcher and Matat.cle districts. The military court which is sitting at Dordrecht has sentenced thirteen rebels to imprisonment for life. Two others who were convicted were sentenced to five and ten years' imprisonment, respectively. A fight Is reported to have taken place between Jamestown and Lady Grey, eastern Cape Colony. Foiieh oe's commando attacked a hundred Connau.'ht ranger?, but scouts from Aliwal North appearing, the Uoers retreated, apparently thinking that the scouts were strongly supported. The Boers are said to have lost heavily. Score Tonnjfn' I'anton. The Minnesota Bankers' association adopted a resolution at Duluth putting their mark of disapproval on the pardoning of the Younger brothers from the state penitentiary. There was no opposition to the resolution, which is as follows: "Resolved, That the stability of the government, the well-being and good morals of the people and respect for rights of others demand equitable and firm execution of law and the infliction of penalty for its violation. In the parole of the Youngers we believe a precedent has been set injurious to the well-being and order of society and one that may cause attempted repetition by sympathizers and criminal admirers, and we deprecate the notoriety given them." Moat Consumption In Tenement-. Professor Koch, the famous scientist and discoverer of the phthisis bacilli, read a paper before the Tuberculosis Congress at London in which he announced the discovery made by himself that human tuberculosis was different from animal tuberculosis, and that the latter was rarely infectious to man. Tenement houses, he declared, were the greatest breeding places of tuberculosis. Oppose Governor of Texas. There is apparently a serious rupture between Governor Sayres and the Railroad commission in Texas. A few weeks ago the Governor addressed a letter to the commission, saying be desired to use fuel oil in the State institutions and asking the commissiou to call a meeting to reduce the rates. The commission has published an address claiming the rates on oil in Texas are lower than those in effect elsewhero and that the railroads are entitled to make a profit. They intimate that the Governor has violated the proprieties. Will Wert Hill's Daughter. The engagement is announced of George L.
