My wife has been using Chamber

No reports have been received from Generals
Wheaton and Lawton. Gen. Otis has no posi-
tive information as to their whersa bouts. but
II Is thought he knows they are close together
along the north OF tho line. II is not believed
that Gen. Macarthur encountered the rebels

over tho mountains or have turned themselves

SCHLEY'S ORDERS HELD UP.
HIS SAILING WAS DEFERRED UNTIL
SECRETARY LONGS RETURN.

Tho Secretary Reached Washington yester-
day and Would Welcome Request from
scbiey for Court OF Inquiry to Deter
mine tho Facts OF the Controversy.
WARRINGTON. Nov. 19.-secretary Long ar
rived In Washington from Colorado to-day.
and his return gives added interest to the case
OF Rear Admiral W. $. Schley. who assumed
command OF the South Atlantic naval station
at Tompklnsvllle yesterday. preparatory to
proceeding to South America. Some signih-
canoe has been attached to the fact that the
sailing orders OF Admiral Schley have beea
withheld BY the Navy Department. the under
standing being that their issue was postponed
until Secretary Long resumed his official du-
ties. The truth OF the matter appears TO BE-
that In view OF recent attacks on Secretary
Long In Schley newspapers and the hope Of
tho greater number OF naval officers that some
official notice will be taken Of them, the sub
ordinate officials OF the Navy Department
deemed 1t better to await Mr. Longs return in
order that he might determine what should bs
done. 1t is quite likely that Secretary Long
will have talk with President Mckinley over
schleys case before issuing any sailing orders
to that officer.
Mr. Long would welcome an application for
Court OF Inquiry from Schley. or even an appli-
cation for Court OF Record. in order that the
facts alleged by the Navy Department concern-
Ing schley's conduct OF the south coast OF Cuba.

guy regarding tho Brooklyns loop in tho bat
tie on Santiago. and Lieutenant Commander

letter from Hodgson which appeared to deny
that 1t did occur. might be placed before the

way as TO show the true character OF schley,s
contentious. It is quite as true that such an
application from schley would be welcomed
by Mr. Long In order that the charge that the
Navy Department had prosecuted schley
might be probed to the bottom.
