SCHLEY,S SPEECH
Concerning the Battle Fought OF
Santiago

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-Rear Admiral
Schley was the guest Of honor at banquet
given tonight by the Lotus club at their
magnificent home on Fifth avenue. In the
course of his remarks Admiral Schley told
of two strange incidents in connection with
the battle of July 8, off Santiago After
stating that it had been the intention of
Admiral Cervera to make his dash out of
the harbor on the night of July 8, Admiral
Schley said:
"By some of the strange emotions of tele-
pathy l felt on that night that an outward
movement had been determined upon and
decided to connect the after and forward
engines of my ship. Yet l feared to be
caught in an operation of nearly an hour,
but I was told that the full speed of four
engines and one half-boilcr was greater
than two engines and full boiler power, so
| risked it, Much has to be risked in bat
tie. 1t appeared that at the very hour l
was occupying my mind with this question,
Cervera had planned his attempt to escape.
"Another curious incident followed their
army's retreat to the hills Of Santiago, when
our army was closing about them. The in
surgents took possession of Spanish block
houses to the number of six and burned
them. That was the number of ships in
Cervera's fleet, and he thought it was a
signal to us of their intended movement,
SO he thought to fool the Yankees and re-
main until the following day. That little
fact determined the result"

LOBBY ATTORNEYS
Are Not Entitled to Pay for Their
Services

Services
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.--The Sill
preme court today handed down decision
which discourages the practice of employing
attorneys to help or hinder measures pend
ing before the legislature.
Glenr county was carved out OF Colusa
county and in 1893 bill was before the
legislature to adjust money matters between
the divided counties. The supervisors em-
ployed +. S. Sprague, an attorney of Sac.
ramento, to fight the passage of such bill
The measure was defeated and Sprague pre-
sented a bill of $1,000 for his services. The
supervisors ordered the demand paid, but
the district attorney brought action to stay
the auditor from paying the amount. The
lower court gave judgment for the auditor
and Sprague. The supreme court has now
reversed that judgment, holding that the
supervisors had no power to hinder nor to
employ anyone else to hinder legislation,
and if the contention of the board was sus-
tanned there would be the spectacle of a
band of attorneys at every session of the
legislature whose sole business would be to
attempt to influence members against bills
that were just and sound.

facturers' Association; w. F. Burbank,
New Charter club. Considerable feeling was
expressed by the members present about
the absentees who had consented to serve.
R. II. Heron and others thought they
should certainly show little public spirit
when there il 30 little time left for work
before the election. There were two less
present than at the previous meeting, and
the outlook for systematic and enthusiastic
work for the new charter was rather gloomy.
On motion, the secretary was instructed to
notify the bodies from which there were
no representatives present, inform them of
the fact and request them to appoint mem.
bers who will be more reliable. The press
was also requested to be especially severe
on the absentees in the report OF the meet
ing.
W. II. Workman, as chairman, presented
the following report:
1--WE, your committee on organization and
plan Of campaign, would recommend the
following:
First, that Messrs. G. w. Parsons, L. G.
Scheller and r. H. Heron be appointed a
committee on finance with power to call in
any outside help necessary. That w. H.
Workman, J. H. Francis, Octavius Morgan,
S. G.. Marshutz and L. A. Croft be ap-
pointed q committee to procure speakers,
to devise and have printed and distributed
proper literature.
"That Will L. Frew, Capt. John Cross
and A. G. Jones be appointed a committee to
secure places and arrange time for holding
public meetings in the interest of the char
ter, also to endeavor to get hearing for
the charter at each of the meetings of the
political parties in the city,
"That Robert McGarvin, J. s. Jones and
w. L. Burbank be appointed a committee
on campaign and election, with power to
appoint one person in each precinct who
shall give his entire time on election day to
gaining votes for the charter and who shall
have power to appoint any assistants which
he may desire"
The finance committee makes an appeal
to the public for funds as follows:
"The finance committee on charter elec-
tion respectfully invites attention to the
work now before them In the matter of rails
ing funds which shall be sufficient to meet
all necessary expenses involved in carry
ing on the charter campaign, and the neces-
sity for a hearty response from all friends
of good city government. The time is short
and work must be done quickly to be ef-
fectual. Your earnest cooperation is re-
spectfully solicited, and in addition to those
appointed to collect funds the Chamber of
Commerce, Merchants and Manufacturers,
Board of Trade and daily papers are des-
ignated to receive the same. Signed, G. w.
Parsons, r. H. Heron and L. G. Schellen."
On motion, it was decided to meet every
day until the city election at $3.50 o'clock
in room 2l9 Byrne building. Adjourned to
meet Monday at the hour named.

THE BALDWIN RUINS
Still Cover Bodies of Victims Of the
Fire

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.-The work
of demolshing the high and tottering walls
of the Baldwin hotel was begun today. A
gang of wreckers demolished some of the
more threatening portions. As soon as the
more dangerous part of the burned walls
were thrown down, Z. j. Baldwin stopped
the work in order to save what furniture
remained in the rooms before the walls
came down. No search for bodies of VIC
tins of the fire can be made for several days,
as the wreckers will not have the dangerous
wall down before Tuesday or Wednesday.
Apprehension regarding the number Of
dead who lie buried in the blackened mass
of debris increases from hour to hour Per.
sistent rumors that several well known pen-
pie are missing, and that their families be-
lieve they perished in the flames, continue
to circulate. Attempts to verify these re-
ports are being made, but the interested
relatives are creating mystery by declaring
that the absent members of the family are
merely out of town.

BUTLER COMES HOME
TO TELL WHAT HE KNOWS OF
CUBAN AFFAIRS
The Most Serious Questions Are Pub
lie Sanitation and Relief for the
Starving Cubans

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-Gen. NJ. G.
Butler of South Carolina, member of the
Cuban evacuation commission, arrived to-
day from Havana in response to tele-
graphic summons from President Mckinley,
and this afternoon he had two hours con
sultation with the president at the White
House.
Gen. Butler gave it as his opinion that all
the Spanish troops will have departed ten
days before the date fixed in the agreement.
He says the Spaniards have met the Ameri-
can commissioners with reasonable fairness
and that there has been little friction. Some
of the claims they have made for compensa-
ton for Spanish property have been ridicu-
lous and they will, of course, be abandoned
in the end. Gen. Butler denies all the re-
ports of dissension among the members OF
the American commission.
Gen. Butler is of the opinion that the
military government of the island must be
continued for some time, but that it should
only be as vigorous as may be necessary to
preserve order. He thinks the Cubans are
ambitious for self-government and anxious
to avoid friction with the American ali-
thorities. Ii military control is exercised
with discretion he believes there will be
little trouble.
One of the most troublesome features of
the situation is the criminal classes, and the
difficulty of determining in the case of pris.
oners who are incarcerated for political Of
lenses and who for crimes.
There has existed in Havana in the past
an oath-bound organization of the order of
italian Malta, known as the Mango, which
was a source of terror to the inhabitants.
One of the few commendable acts of Wey.
Ter was the deportation of about seven hun
dred of the members of this organization to
the penal colony of Ceurto. But fears are
expressed that these criminals may return
or that the order may be revived by those
who were not deported.
Gen. Butler describes the sanitary con.
dition of Havana now as a pesthole, filled
with unmentionable filth, squalor and des-
titution. The Spanish authorities have,
however, agreed to inaugurate the work of
putting the city in sanitary condition with
the aid of the municipal authorities, and
work to this end is to begin at once Gen.
Butler paints a dark picture of the destitu-
ton among the poorer classes, and says it
will probably be necessary for us to furnish
some aid to the starving wretches.
