RECIPROCITY WITH FRANCE.
Possibility of Treaty Will Be De-
cided in a Few Days.

Negotiations on the Franco-American re-
ciprocity treaty are in progress, and 1t is
understood that the next few days will de-
termine whether it is possible for the two
countries to come together on a trade
treaty. The concessions to be granted to
the United States are already settled, SO
that it remains only to determine what ar
tcleS are to be covered in the concessions
to France. Instead of picking out certain
articles on which to grant concessions to
this country the French proposition is to
grant the entire list of articles in the min
imum schedule In return for this Commits
Sloner h2sSon has suggested a certain
number OF articles on which reduction of
duty Will be allowed to France. The Paris
authorities hardly think this goes far
enough, and is short of full equivalent for
granting the whole minimum schedule to
the United States. They have therefore
proposed list rather more extended than
that offered by the American commissioner,
and 1t remains to be settled whether an ad-
1ustment can be reached on these enlarged
lists. The parties to the negotiation are
quite hopeful of securing definite results
within the next few days. 1t was feared
Tor time that the unsettled conditions of
the french cabinet might retard an under
standing, but it is evident that all official
business Is proceeding without reference
to the political uncertainties in Paris. I'M
portant propositions have. passed between
Paris and Washington since the cabinet
crisis has existed.

loop, laid down by Mr.. Hodgson. Sew
cral other naNiSators-Mr Comfy and Mr.
Schuetze, l know-s.ded with me. Mr..
Hodgscn and | on this particular occasion
walked up and down the port side of the
cabin of the Brooklyn, in which the board
was sitting. 1t is my impression that Mr..
HodSson claimed that the Brooklyn was
100 yards from the leading Spanish ship
when the turn was made. The board, l
, think, put it later at LEO yards. Mr..
Hodgson told me that he felt certain they
We're closer than 1.iUJ yards, and that their
stadimeter gave $50 yards. He said: We
were close that Schley gave the order
Hard a-pOrt l said to him: You mean
starboard, do you not?' The commodore
said: NO. | mean port; we are close enough
to them now" Mr.. HodgsOn then said he
called attention to the position of the Tex
as, and told the commodore he thought
there was danger of running her down.
The commodore replied: DIN the Texas;
let her look out for herself This CONVEX
sation was repeated to me on several diff
ferent occasions.
Everything l say now was contained in
Mr.. Hodgson's statement. The words may
nave been little different. He may have
said, Don't you mean starboard commo-
dore" instead of the first phraseology He
certainly said, We are near enough to them
now and also D the Texas Let her
lookout for herself
He repeated this conversation to me at
least three times during the sessions of
the board, because every time discussion

MIN, which L did not think correct L

MY experience was that during the action
L could not get single observation by the
stadimeter on which l could place any con-
hdence, though | was using two stadimeters
and had man in the coming tower with
cleaning material, whose only duty was to

The Alleged ColIoquy.
The controversy originated in the publish
ing of the following dialogue alleged to
have taken place when the Brooklyn, which
was stationed southwest of the entrance 10
Santiago harbor. was turned to the east
ward on the appearance of the Spanish. Ad-
miral Schley's critics have commended that
he should have turned to the west. The
alleged dialogue follows:
Schley-"Put your helm hard a-port.'
Hodgson-"You mean s.arboard?'
Schley-"No, don't We are near enough
to them (the Spaniards) already"
Hodgson-"But we'll cut down the Texas
Schley-"Let the Texas look out for her
self" .,t,
HOdgsOn's Denial.
The letter of denial written by Lieuten-
ant Commander Hodgson follows:
u s. S. Brooklyn,
Navy Yard. New York June II, so.
Dear Admiral Schley: The colloquy pub
lished in the New York Sun alleged to have
taken place between you and me on the day
of the battle off Santiago, July g. 1885,
never occurred. Very respectfully,

Correcting Hodgson's Statement.
The following statement WAS given out
at the Navy Department this morning in
correction of the statement made public
yesterday afternoon in regard to the re-
port of Captain Chadwick on the examin-
alton of Commander Hodgsen:J
The typewriter copy Of statement of
Captain Chadwick and Lieutenant Com
inander Hodgson, given to the press yester
day, was in error in the following points:
About One-third from the beginning,
where published statement reads: I intend
ed him to understand there was danger OF
running into the Texas. He said 'all right"
words to that effect. l cannot repeat YER
tatim.' 1t should have read: 1 intended
him to understand there was danger of
running into the Texas. He said "All right;
the Texas must look out for that words
to that effect l cannot repeat verbatim. "
