E The .Scliley Court Drair?in Its Weary Length Alonjr. HE HAD JJEEX INFORMED Evidence That Admiral Schley Had Been Told There Ta a UimhI Landing off Cienfueg-os. Etuis Concludes and Three Other Witnesses Are Heard By. the Court. Washington. Oct. 2. The ScLIey court of inquiry made good headway again yesterday, concluding with Admiral Krans and heaiin? three new Witnesses, although the testimony of ne tit them was not concluded when 4he court adjourned for the day. Admiral EvauH' testimony was along the Mine jreueral lines as was his statement of Monday, but some points were APMIRAL EVAXS. presented in greater detail in response to questions by Mr. Kaynor. The new witnesses were Captain Sigsbee, who comma nded the scout St. Paul during the Sanrlago campaign, Thomas M. t)ienaiIe, a newspaper correspondent Who was with the fleet during the battle of July 3, and Chief Yeoman (ustave E. Becker, who was a clerk to Admiral Sampson during the war. Captain Sislee'8 testimony covered his communications to Commodore Schley upon the latter's arrival oft Santiago May 2. 1S!8, and at subsequent dates and dealt with the state of the weather at tnat period. He was asked4 greflt nunUter of questions by the court. Mr. IMenaiue described the loop of the Brooklyn as seen from the Texas. Mr. Becker testified as to dispatcher sent by Admiral Sampson to Commodore Schley. He identified the memorandum from Captain McCalla. saying there was a good landing place near Cienfuegos, which Admiral Sampt on sent to Commodore Schley undndate of May 19, and said that this memorandum had been carried inwdu- " plicate by the Iowa and the Dupont. Mr. Raynor questioned the witness Tery closely, bringing out the fa"t that Becker bad no records to show that either of these vessels had carried the memorandum and that he was dependent r.pon his memory In making the statement. Mr. Ilanna said in this connection that the department expected to be able to show that four copies of this memorandum had been forwarded to Commodore Schley. Mr. Ray nor reponded that he would admit only one copy and tnat was the copy delivered by the Hawk on May 23. lSiiN. r" Chiie itebehi KepuUed. tlongKong, Oct. 2.

1 Claimed V.y Colombia Over Ven ! Anln 'I" v. ... ml Washington, Oct. 2. The. followiu cablegram was received at the Colombian Wgatton in this city last night: "Bogota. , Oct. 1. Colombian Minister. Washington: We have obtained a signel victory over Venezuelan ' troojis that invaded the Goajira under Venezuelanofficers and under the Venezue lan flag, without a previous declaration of war. ABAOIA MEXDEZ, "Minister Foreign Affairs." Some uncertainty exists in the minds of the officials of the legation as to whether this victory over the Venezuelans is identical to that heretofore reported by way of Curacoa iu the press dispatches or Is the result of another tight. Dr. Silva, the minister. Is inclined to the former opinion. The officials feel very much gratified over the advices. Some stress is laid on the statement that this invasion was without a previous declaration of war on Venezuela's part. This. Dr. Silva says, shows the Irregularity of the course the latter country has taken. Dr. Mendez. who signs the dispatch, is the new minister of foreign affairs whose appointment followed the Col ombian cabinet crisis reported from Bogota Monday. No further advices have been received on that subject, and Dr. Silva is disposed to lelieve that the resignation of the cabinet was not general, but was confined to possibly the ministry of foreign affairs to which the minister of finance was appointed, thus leaving a vacancy in the latter office. Tbey Kept Their Secret, rarkersburg, W. Va., Oct. 2. The leading representatives of the United Mine Workers of America from ail the coal-mining states, who were iu ses sion at the Van AVinkle hotel here for two days, left last night with the secrets of their- sessions well kept. The most vigilant work of the correspondents and members of the local press failed to get anything out of those who were in session. It is quite probable that the character of the proceedings will never become known until reported to the local unions from Indianapolis. Floods In Florida. St. Augustine, Fla.,X-t. 2. Daytonia and Seabreeze, on the east coast, were shut off from the world for four days by high water, which inundated a large part of the twin town's. Communication with them was re-established only yesterday. Many people were compelled to leave their homes. Floods all through the section are heavier tnan for years. Orave Situation In China. - Shanghai, Oct. 2. Disorders have arisen in the Yang Tse provinces owing to the ravages of the floods and the diversion of the relief funds by corrupt officials. These threaten to culminate in rebellion. The situation is very grave and the local authorities have been ordered to raise troops and to place the districts In a state of defense. Back From Manila. San Francisco, Oct. 2. The transport Thomas has arrived from Manila. Among her passengers are Surgeon General George M. Sternberg and Commissary General John i Weston, who have been in the islands several months inspecting the conditions of their respective departments. The Thomas brought a number of army officers and discharged soldiers. Shaffer Will Settle It. Milwaukee, Oct. 2.

! ANOTHER FLUKE

Yachtsmen Are Again Disappointed Iu Their ! Plans. AIR AND SEA FAILED The Only Race Was That of Disgruntled Excursionists Back to Z. Xew York City. All Arc Sow Whistling for a Breeze to Come Up Iu Time For "eit Race. New VorU, Oct. 2. The attempt yesterday to sail the second of the present series of International yacht races for the blue ribbon of the sea proved a dismal failure. Between 23,UK and SO.UOO people who crowded the pleasure fleet off Sandy Hook lightship in the hope of seeing a repetition of the thrilling sport of Saturday last, witnessed instead more of a drifting match than a race. The wind was exceedingly light and variable, at times falling so low that the gossamer wind pennants, which are as light as thistledown, hung limp against the masts of the big single-stickers. The wind with crews lined up on the lee rails was not sutticieut at any time to make the racing machines heel to their lines. At the end of four and a half hours the yachts had covered less than half of the prescribed course of oil miles. and as there was no possibility of their finishing within the time limit, the regatta committee declared the race off. When the gun was fired announc ing this decision the challenger was about half a mile ahead of the defender and to that extent yesterday's trial was a victory for Shamrock II. But the fluke demonstrated little as to the question of supremacy letween the two boats, except perhaps that Sir Thomas's new champion Is more dangerous In light airs than was supposed after her two former meetings with the white flyer to which the patriots are pinning their faith. In fluky winds of variable strength, shifting as they did yesterday through six points of the compass, luck cuts almost as much figure as model and seamanship, and fortune was unmistakably with the foreigner. The course was an equilateral triangle, 10 miles to the leg, the first leg being a beat due east into the wind. The Yankee skipiter at, the start outgeueralled his adversary In a splendid piece of Jockeyiujj, rwIng the line in the windward berth 12 seconds ahead of the Britisher. This advantage Columbia held for two hours, while loth yachts steered far off their course to the south and were looking for a streak of wind that would profit them. Finally Barr declined to continue in the' vain quest. He put his helni down and headed inshore on the starboard tack. The Shamrock at this time, after both had been sailing in the same airs, was a beaten lKat. and her skipper could afford to take a gambler's chance with fortune. He hem doggedly on and fortune smiled on him. Within five minutes he got a breeze out of the south which ruffled the cresrless sea and wafted him like a ghost through the Columbia's weather. But this was not bis best piece of good fortune. After this reverse the Columbia, slipping through the sea at an astonishing pace considering the lightness of .the breeze, had worked out ahead of the Shamrock, but to leeward. When the two yachts were in this position alKut two miles from the first turn, a cant f the wind threatened to blanket the Columbia, and to avoid such a jossibility Barr went under tue ouamrock's stern. Just as be did so the wind hauled around more to the south, knocking the Columbia's head off until to the astonished spectators she seemed headed almost back for the lightship at the starting line. The golden boat favored t.y tt.e same breeze was headed in exactly the opposite direction. There the shifting wind backed again and Barr got the Columbia straightened out as he was a third of a mile astern. In this position the two btjats rounded the first mark, the Shamrock three minutes and eight seconds before Columbia, or again for Shamrock in the beat to windward. 1. ! adding the 12 seconds which Colum- I bia beat her over the line, of three ? minutes and 20 seconds. j During the next hour in a close reach i for the second mark the yachts were ! able to cover about four or more mile I of the remaining 20, and as only 5s I minutes then remained before the expiration of the time limit, the race was I declared off. and both the Yankee atid j the foreigners began praying for a 1 good stiff breeze on Thursday, wbea ; the race will be resailed. Ireland and the Kins. Dublin. Oct. 2. At the meeting of the United Irish League in Dublin yesttrday the lord mayor of Dublin presiding, a letier of apology for absence was read from William O'Brien, M. P., who expressed a hope that -if the king visits Ireland next year the league will arouse a spirit which will convince his majesty that he is come among a people discontented and disaffected to tue core, ordy needing arms j and trains of the Boers to testify i to their hatred of England s rule with ; eloquence e-iual to that of the uneoa I quered Sootii African republic

MATTER AND FOKCE. ENERGY CANKOT SE CHEATED NOR CAN IT BE DESTROYS.

It rir Maa Could Acoomplla Clthrr all These Imii-mlble TalajV". He Coald (' "Ihr WreeW of Matter aad the Crash of World." If you could Imagine an earthworm trying to run the Niagara Electric Lighting aud Tower Transmission works, you would have some faint idea of the capacity of the greatest humau genius that ever lived to run the visible universe. That is probably why the wisest of us is not permitted to understand the final secrets of uature. Here is a good example. Take a rifle Into a place sufficiently far from the habitations of men; put the butt on the ground and support it so that the barrel points straight up and pull the trigger. The bullet will leave the muzzle with a velocity of. say. 3.000 feet a second. It will rise to an enormous height, come to a standstill for an infinitesimal fraction of a second and begin to fall back again. It will strike the earth with very nearly but not quite the same velocity as it left the muzzle of the gun. It would be exactly the same but for tbe resistance of the air. What has happened Is this: The explosion of the powder has changed a solid into a gas. and the expansive energy of this has driven the bullet upward. In other words, it has for the time overcome that mysterious force by which the earth draws everything toward its own center. But when the energy of the exploded powder is exactly balanced by the pull of gravitation the bullet falls back. In the first second after its turu it falls 10 feet, in the next 32, in the next 64, in the next 12S, and so on till it returns with ever increasing velocity whence it started. Nothing has been lost, nothing gained. The gases set free by the explosion of the powder weigh exactly as much as the solid. Some of the energy has been used as heat, some in propelling the bullet. Gravitation, overcome for awhile, has reasserted itself. The sum cf matter and force in the universe is absolutely unchanged. This Is as true of the quickened beat of a girl's heart when she meets her lover as It is of the march of the planets and suns through the fields of space. Every atom of matter, every unit of force, throughout the universe is con stant, external and exactly balanced, and the whole strength and genius of humanity could not Increase or dimin ish them by the slightest fraction. Now. let us Imagine what would happen if man could make that bullet strike the earth with greater or less force than it left the muzzle of the guu. He would either have lucreased or de creased the total of universal energy, and in either case he would have thrown first the solar system and then the whole universe out of gear. The earth and all the other planets would begin to revolve in different orbits. The sun, with its family of worlds, would alter its path round the unknown cunter about which It revolves. Then world would be hurled against world and sun against sun. and stars and planets would be reduced to the flaming gases from which they cooled Into solids and liquids before time began to be. Just the same catastrophe would happen If man could either create or entirely destroy a grain of sand on the seashore. The balance of the universe. In which swing stars and planets, whose weight is inexpressible in human figures (this tiny world of ours weighs 6,000,000,000.000,0t)0,000.000 tons). Is infinitely more delicate than that which the chemist has to keep in an airtight case and at an even temperature lest a breath of air should throw it out of gear. Thus the destruction or creati'tfi of a grain of sand would change the orbit of the earth round the sun. In the one case it would be drawn closer and closer to the sun. perhaps after thousands of revolutions to be swallowed up iu fiery ruin. In t'.ie other case it would gradually leave the sun and year by year wander farther away into regions of space where human life would be Impossible. The result of the dislocation of such a stupendous system, which has worked with unfailing exactitude for countless ages. is. of course, utterly beyond tbe scope of human imagination, and yet such a seeming trifle as the creation or destruction of a single grain of sand might, and probably would, plunge It Into utter chaos and ruin.
