But a Tulsa Ball Player in Abject
Terror.

Sam McBerney, one of the noto-
rious Tulsa ball club, and another
party, came down on the Katy
Friday morning and went west by
first train. In keeping his hotel
and making a run for the train Mr..
McBerney made himself ridiculous.
There is no outiawry element in
Vinita and much as Mr.. McBer-
ney's conduct of last week war
ranted punishment, he is likely to
go without it a long time, so far
as Ninita players are concerned.

sCHLEY DISOBEYED ORDERS
Secretary Longs Reply to the
Senate's Resolution.

He Speaks OF Schley's "Reprehensible
Conduct" His ''Unsteadiness In Pur-
pose and I'm Push and His Failure TO
Obey ORDERS"
Secretary Longs answer to the resolu-
ton of the Senate of Jan 90 asking for the
facts and records on which the advance
ment of Admirals Sampson and Schley and
other officers were made for their services
in the war with Spain is a very inter
esting communication. 1t contains few
comments. The Secretary's letter is made
up almost entirely of a statement based on
the official records of the campaign in the
West Indies, showing the movements of
son and Schley, with particular reference
to Schley's withdrawal from Santiago after
the Spanish feet had entered the harbor.
1t is shown that despite Schley's statement
that he was obliged to go to Key West for
coal, he had enough coal left to maintain
the Santiago blockade until supplies arriv-
ed. Attention is also called to the fact
that up to a date given there was nothing
to prevent the escape of the Spanish fleet.
1t is pointed out also that no signals were
sent by Schley to the American vessels en-
gagged in the fight with Cervera's ships, ex-
cept that the enemy's fleet was escaping,
cease firing" congratulations to the other
ships and "Oregon, well DONE" No COM
manding officer was directed by Schley in
the fight, Simpsons previous directions be-
ing carried out.
Secretary Long refers to "Schley's rep
rehensible conduct" and says, in explain
ing why Sampson was promoted over
Schley, that Schley's ''unsteadiness in pur-
pose and in push and failure to obey Or
ders" did not meet with the approval of
the President or the navy department. Ac-
companying the letter are copies of tele-
grams, letters and reports, beginning with
SIMPSONS assignment to the command of
the North Atlantic fleet. Extracts from
the most important of these are included
in the Secretary's letter, together with
charts of the battle with Cerveras feet
and cuts showing injuries to American yes
sells. The reports, exc, which accompany
the Secretary's letter were selected by
Capt. Evans of the Iowa, Capt. Taylor of
the Indiana and Lieut.. Sears, Admiral
Schley's flag lieutenant. These officers
were selected by Secretary Long to do this
work to remove any suspicion that the de-
partment had been prejudiced in its an
swer to the resolution of the Senate.

The following account Of farmers re-
mArkable experience was recently told
reporter by Mr.. S. L. Brees, one of the Oldest

town of Orange, Douglas County, MINI.
Mr.. Brees is town clerk, having held this
position for several years, and is a gentleman
of unimpeachable integrity and honesty.
This experience Of Mr.. Brees is certainly
interesting. He says:

medicines for about two months. Some relief
was obtained. The physician presumed

from the after effect Of the grip. My family
were alarmed about me, and for two years
they would not let me go away alone for fear
l would never get home alive. ! finally con

InsurrsotiOn In Nicaragua.

The governor of Jamaica, in response to
a very alarming appeal from Bluefields,
Nicaragua, by cable by way of Colon, Co
lombia, despatched Saturday the British
second-class cruiser Intrepid at full speed
to Bluefelds, with instructions to protect
British interests there. The report received
at Kingston says that Gen. Reyes, the gov
ernor of that part of Nicaragua, has started
a revolution along the whole department
of the Atlantic, which involves practically
all the foreign merchants and residents
The situation is said to have developed
alarming complications, needing the pres
ence of war ships to protect foreigners and
their property. 1t is said at the navy de-
partment in Washington that there is a
sufficient force of American vessels on the
Atlantic coast of Nicaragua to meet all me-
cessities, although the presence of British
ship will be welcomed. The Marietta and
the Machias are at Bluehelds, ready to pro-
tect any American interests that may be
jeopardized by the revolution, and accord
ing to the traditional policy which has gov
erned the relations of the British and
American ships in Central and South
American waters, each always undertakes
to look after the interests of both nationali-
ties without any special instructions.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Col. COlsOn Shot.

Pistol Fight Between Officers OF the
4th Kentucky Regiment the Result
of LOng-standing Trouble.
The trouble between Col. David g. Col
son and First Lieut.. Ethelbert d. Scott of
the 4th Kentucky regiment eliminated
Saturday night at Admission, Ala, in
shooting affray in which Col. Oolson was
shot in the hip and Lieut.. Scott and many
others had narrow escapes. Col. Colson is
a member of the Kentucky congressional
delegation. Lieut.. Scott was sitting at
table in a restaurant with Lieut.. Brakeman
of the same regiment, when Col. Colson
entered. The colonel began talking with
Brakeman, who swore 1t him, so the story
goes. Thereupon Colson pulled Blakeman's
ear. Colson and Scott drew pistols and ia
a moment both men were firing. The colo
mel with one pistol and the lieutenant with
two.
Lieuts. Mckay and Phelps of the 4th
Wisconsin, on duty with the provost guard,
we're in the room. Lieut.. Phelps ran up to
Lieut. Scott and demanded his pistols.
Scott said he willingly relinquished them
to the proper authority and gave them up.
Lieut.. Mckay in the meantime had ordered
Colson to disarm, but he refused to do it,
and the pistol was taken from him by
force. Quick as a flash Col. Colson drew
another weapon and fired, some say at
Scott and others say at Lieut. Mckay, but
without effect. The provost lieutenant
then bent his efforts toward getting Col
sons pistol and in doing so struck Colson
in the face twice with his fist.
Col. Colson was the only man injured in
the engagement. He was carried to an
upstairs room where bullet was extracted
from his hip. Col Colson was furious and
made frantic efforts to get up to
get his pistols. A friend of Col Colson
swore out warrant for Lieut.. Scott and
he was arrested. Both officers have many
warm personal friends in the regiment,
which was mustered out a few hours be-
fore the shooting took place, As bitter
feeling has been aroused between the two
factions it was feared that there might be
further trouble and the entire provost
guard was ordered out.
The trouble between Col. Colson and
Lieut.. Scott dates back to the time when
the 4th Kentucky was being modified last
summer. Gov. Bradley put in four of his
nephews as commissioned officers, among
them being Lieut.. Scott. There was bad
feeling between Scott and Colson from the
time the recruits first began to come in for
the regiment. The colonel declared Scott
did not attend to his duties as drillmaster
and in other ways neglected his company.
This caused Scott to say many uncompli-
mentary things about Colson, and the latter
had Scott tried before a court martial,
which acquitted him. He afterward had
him appear before a board of examiners
and that board declared Scott incompetent
for the position he held and recommended
that he be dismissed from the service.
Scott went to Washington and had the
boards finding overruled. Colson wrote
cards in the Admission newspapers attack
ing SCOTS character. Scott replied in
kind.

Seventeen Insane Women Burned to
Death.

Seventeen insane women were burned to
death Sunday morning in a fire which
destroyed one of the buildings of the South
Dakota state asylum at Yankton. The
Thermometer stood 90 degrees below zero
at the time the fire was discovered and the
flames were famed by a strong wind.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but it is
supposed to have started in the dry room
of the laundry, which is in the basement of
the building. AS soon as the alarm was
given every effort was made by the attend
ants to save the 40 patients in the upper
stories. AS many of them as could be
aroused and gotten out of their rooms were
sent or carried down the one available
narrow passageway from the third story
to the ground.
There was no time to dress, and, rush
ing out into the snow in their night clothes,
the women suffered terribly from the cold
The fire spread so rapidly that before all
the inmates could be gotten out the attend
ants had to rush from the building to save
themselves. 1t was then found that II
women had been left in the building and
had persisted. The total loss is about $18,-
900. The building was not intended as a
home for patients, but quarters had been
fitted up in it owing to the crowded con-
ditlon of the main structure.
