ADMIRAL W. S. SCULLY. CONDEMNED BY TWO MEMBERS OF THE COURT OF INQUIRY, PUT WARMLY CHAMPIONED BY ADMIRAL DEWEY.

Schley, In command of the Hying squadron, should have proceeded with utmost dispatch off Cienfuegos and should have maintained a close blockade of that port. He should have endeavored on May 23 at Cienfuegos to obtain information regarding the Spanish squadron by communicating with the insurgents at the place designated in the memorandum delivered to him at 8:15 a. m. of that date. He should have proceeded from Cienfuegos to Santiago de Cuba with all dispatch and should have disposed his vessels with a view of intercepting the enemy in any attempt to pass the flying squadron. He should not have delayed the squadron for the Eagle. He should not have made thR retrograde turn Westward with his squadron. He should have endeavored to capture or destioy the Spanish vessels at anchor near the entrance of Santiago harbor on May 29 and 30. He did not do his utmost with the force under his command to capture or destroy the Colon and other vessels of the enemy which he attacked on May 31. Uy commencing the engagement on July 3 with the port battery and turning the Brooklyn around with port helm Commodore Schley caused her to lose distance and position with the Spanish vessels. The turn was made toward the Texas and caused that vessel to stop and back her engines to avoid possible collision. Admiral Schley did injustice to Lieutenant Commander A. C. Hodgson in publishing only a portion of the correspondence which passed between them. Commodore Schley's conduct in connection with the events of the Santiago campaign prior to June 1, 18DS, was characterized by vacillation, dilatoriness and lack of enterprise. Mm. Itoiiin I A-iil t If.l. Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine, who was charged and tried by the government for the murder of James Seymour Ayres, has been acquitted at Washington, D. C. The verdict was not a surprise to any one for the reason that the prosecution failed to show any motive f(r the alleged murder. The jury was out nearly five hours. Mrs. Bonine was at once surrounded by her relatives and a few friends who warmly congratulated her upon her acquittal. Kur In!! In t'nionft. The convention of the American Federation of Labor at Scranton, Pa., used considerable time on the negro problem in the South as far as it relates to unionism and the long-standing conflict between the Socialists and trade unionists. The question of organizing common laborers into a national union and that of throwing out Of unions all organizations allied with city, state, national, or international unions if they refuse to affiiate with the American Federation of Labor were vie? it-mi stv debated.

Ills ofcielal reports regarding the coal supply and the coaling facilities o? the 2ylng squadron were inaccurate and misleading. His conduct during

the battle of July 3 was self-possessed j and he encouraged in his own person ' his subordinate' olliccrs and men to j tight eourageously. j "GEORGE DEWEY, Admiral, U. S. N., President ! "SAMUEL C. LEMLY, j Judge Advocate General, U. S. N., : Judge Advocate. "In the opinion of the undersigned ' the passage from Key West to Cien- ; fuegos was made by the Hying squad- I ron with all possible dispaUh, Commo(lore Schlcv having in view the importance of arriving off Cienfuegos with as much coal as possible in the ! ships' bunkers. The blockade of Cien- ; fuegos was !"f,-t ive. Commander : Schley in pel-mining the Adula to en- 1 ter the port of Cieufuegos expected to i obtain information regarding the Span- ' ish squadron when she canie oat. The passage from Ciein'uegos to a point twenty-two miles south of Santiago was made with as much dispatch as was possible while keeping the squadron a unit. The blocka-)- of Santiago was effective. Commod re Schley was t lie senior officer of our squadron when the Spanish sspiadron attempted to escape ob the morning- of July G. 1S0S. He was in absolute command and is entitled to 'the credit due such commanding ofiicer for the glorious victory which resulted in the total destruction of the Spanish ships. "GEORGE DEWEY, "Admiral.

The fire followed so close upon the impact that those who escaped other horrors and suffering were lonipelled to stand in the open prairie with temperature 20 degrees below zero, insufficiently clad, while the surviving members of the crew of the wreck i i-ains tramped four miles through the storm to secure relief. The passenger was the regular Omaha train, due in Chicago at 9:40 p. m. It consisted of baggage and express car. a smoker. a coach, parlor car and d'ner. It was run-, ning at a high rate of speed, being over three hours late on account of the col I weather. The freight train was running as No. 51 and it was composed of fourteen loaded cars, three empties and the way-car. 2 The freight was running at nigh speed and the trains came togetner without warning. a slight curve hiding each from the other. Neither engine whistled for brakes nor used the air so far as could be ascertained. The crash was terrific, both engines being reduced to scrap iron. The roof of one car was hurled into a field far from the right of way, while a casting weighing 1.200 pounds was thrown into a field 200 feet away. The temperature was 20 below zero and an icy wind was blowing across the prairie, the point where the wreck occurred being in a shallow cut. affording no protection. The injured were without hats and wraps and suffered terribly. By the united efforts of the survivors the way car was pushed back from the wreckage to escape the flames and the wounded wer. placed on the bunks insid Rev. Dr. P. S. Henson of Chicago who had a narrow escape, said: ". sight met my eyes that I shall not soon forget. Two whole train.- weir ablaze, the flames burning with appalling rapidity.
