Americans are sorry that Sir Thomas Llpton has not been able to take even one race of the series in compensation for his plucky fight, it is satisfaction to everybody to kn w that in the final and deciding contest his beautiful challenger had the honor of leading Columbia home and of beating her on actual sailing time.

aim mi miss This Decision Is Reached in Schley Court. RAYNER CHARGES AN ERROR.

Asserts Commander in Chief Wrote j bant la o When He Intended to Use j i rilnfmrna CAiiimuiilfp tt t 'Jim I dore M-hlej Flagship on the Mund. I Washington telegram: In the Schley J court of inquiry Mr. Rayner. chief of counsel for Admiral Schley, asked Judge Advocate Lcmley to summon Admiral Sampson as a witness in the case. The request grew out of a difference in the construction of a sentence in Admiral Sampson's letter to Commodore Schley, written from Key West, May 20, while Commodore Schley with the Hying squadron, lay off Cienfuegos. This is known as the "Dear Schley" letter, and in it, as printpd in the navy department documents supplied to the senate, the admiral said, after expressing his opinion that notwithstanding the report that tho Spanish squadron was in Santiago, it were better to continue to blockade Cienfuegos and Havana, "we shall continue to hold Havana and Santiago until we receive more positive information." Asserts Mistake of Sampson. During the examination of Commander Raymond P. Rodgers this dispatch was under consideration. Mr. Rayner expressed the opinion that the word "Santiago" had been inadvertently used by the commander in chief, assuming that he meant to use the word "Cienfuegos" as better corresponding with the context. As the document was printed there was a parenthetical note, to which Admiral Schley's initials were attached, saying that evidently th wrong city had been mentioned. Mr. Rayner asked Judge Advocate Lemly to make this concession, but the latter declined to do so, saying would produce the original of Admiral Sampson's dispatch to prove he had said Santiago. Then Mr. Rayner said: "I cannot take that word Santiago to mean anything but Cienfuegos. it is an imputation upon Commodore Schley and I cannot permit it to rest without summoning the author of that dispatch," to which Captain Lemly responded: "I have told you once before, you can summon anyone you please." "Then," retorted Mr. Rayner, "summon Admiral Sampson." Lieutenant Dyson was recalled as th first witness of the day. Mr. Rayner brought out the information concerning the time the coal on each of the vessels of the Hying squadron would have lasted on forced draft, in chasing the enemy's vessel.-;, taking (he amount of coal on each on .May 2G, and leaving sufficient coal to return to Key West. Mr. Rayner read from Mr. Dyson's tabulated statement, showing the Iowa would have consumed 243 tons of coal a day, the Texas iCO tons a uay and the Marblehcad seventy-seven tons. That estimate would, he said, give the Brooklyn 2.3 days' chase, the Iowa a chase of 1.2 days, the Texas a chase of three-fourths of a day and the Marblehead a chase of about onethird oi a day. It was also shown that the Massachusetts could have chased the enemy for 1.8 days. Commander Rodgers, who was executive officer of the battleship Iowa during the summer of 1S98. was then called, and examined at length concerning the coaling of the flying squadron. "Could you have coaled tho Iowa on the afternoon of May 26?" Mr. Hanna askf d. "In the late afternoon, the weather being fine and smooth, I think there would have been no trouble at all," replied the witness. Commander Albon C. Hodgson, who was the navigator of Commodore Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, was then called. After stating that he was on the bridge the day of the battle of July 3 he detailed the particulars of that engagement. "How near was the Texas to the Brooklyn when the latter crossed her bow?" asked Captain Lemly. "I suppose it was about 230 or 300 yards." "Have you ever given this estimate as nearer than that?" "Yes, sir." "What have you given before?" "One hundred and fifty yards." "Why do you change it now?" "Because I have read from my notes written the day after tho battle and from notes I used on the board of navigators. I concluded from those that my estimate at that time, when I gave it 175 to 250 yards, was too near. Also, I was very much influenced by the thought that the navigating officer of the Texas would not think it was less than 150 yards." Secretary Long's Dauehter 111. Miss Helen Long, daughter of Secretary of the Navy Long, is in a critical condition at her home In Hingham, Mass. Secretary Long Is at her bedside. 6hepar Named for Xew York .Mayor.
