HODGsON REPEATS HIS DENIAL.
No COliOGuy With Rear Admiral
SchIey as Was Reported.


From the New York Times, Today
Lieut.. Commander ALBION c. Hodgson
navigating officer of the United States
steamer Brooklyn, yesterday reiterated his
denial of the colloquy alleged by the New
York Sun to have taken place between
himself and Admiral Schley on the bridge
of the Brooklyn during the battle off San
tiago, on July 3 last year.
Without wishing to go into the contro-
verSy which has arisen over the battle off
Santiago Mr. Hodgson said, Il repeat
that no such dialogue or colloquy as the
Sun has repeatedly printed ever occurred
between Admiral Schley and myself. Fur
Their, l did write the letter to Admiral
Schley which has been printed in the Times
and other New York newspapers.
THE Sun had no authority to put the
words attributed to the admiral and my
self into our mouths, yet it has persisted in
printing them as the verbatim report of a
conversation which, in fact, never occur
red. ] called on Mr.. Dana, the editor of
the Sun, yesterday, and denied the truth
of this report, at the same time giving him
my reasons for desiring to keep my name
out of the discussion.
Il am now under orders to go to Wash
ington to appear before the Navy Depart
ment in relation to this controversy and
under these circumstances L have no right
to make any further statement, beyond the
assertion that the reported conversation
during the battle never took place. This
matter will be gone over by my superiors,
and if they see fit they can make ii public.
Lieut. Commander Heilner S letter, which
the Sun printed on its editorial page on
Thursday, was personal one Mr.. Hodg-
son continued, land its use was not au-
therized. Mr.. Heilner is too good an off,
Ger 10 make his criticisms of a brother Of
ficer if he has any, through the medium of
the press. and he has told me that when it
was written it was without the intention
of having it reproduced in print Mr.. He'll
ner also called on MIR. Dana yesterday, and
told him that he had not intended this let
ter for publication"

COOL WEATHER TO CONTINUE.
No Hot Wave Within the Range of
observation.

The cool weather is likely to continue for
two or three days more, according to the
forecasters of the weather bureau. The
temperature is low throughout the central
part of the country, and no hot wave is
within the range of observation.
1t was too much to expect the delightful
weather of yesterday to last long, however.
While it is to be cool, there are signs of
rain which may make a disagreeable Sun
day. There is a '1ow'' off the Florida
coast, which is causing rain in its vicinity.
Apparently the disturbance is moving
northward, and unless it should suddenly
go out to sea in an easterly direction it
will bring rain to Washington tomorrow.
At any rate, the forecasters expect the day
will be cloudy and cool.

FOR A CRUISE OF TEN DAYS
Battalion Of Naval Reserves to Leave Port
June Is Next.
Issuance of Equipments and Clothes
ing - Preliminary Work.

The naval reserves of the District of CO.
lumbia will, it is claimed, make the finest
appearance on cruise of any of the reserves
so far on record. The battalion will start
the latter part of this month. 1t is expect
ed that out of the entire force between
lbs and $50 enlisted men and officers will
go on the cruise. The Fern, which is now
moored at the wharf, foot of Sth street
southwest, will weigh anchor at O'Clock
the morning of Sunday, June %, and the
reserves will be landed in Washington the
evening of July 4, after a cruise of ten
days. The Fern will convey the men to
Point Lookout on the outgoing voyage,
where they will be transferred to the
Prairie
The work of numbering the blankets, mat
tresseS, mattress covers, hammocks and
other property has been rapidly going on
during the past few days, and by this even
ing this preliminary viii have been COM
pleted. The issuing of the blankets, ham
mocks, uniforms, ETC., to the bluejacketi
will be commenced tomorrow morning and
continue throughout the day until the entire
crew is equipped for the outing. The out
fits We're recently received from the Brook
lyn navy yard, upon acquisitions made by
the paymaster of the Fern, and consisted
of complete equipment for two hundred
men. Each of the reserves will be desig-
to the number stenciled on his hammock,
mattress, blanket, etc. The issuing Of the
equipments will be in charge of the pay
MASTER and as each man is given his out
fit tomorrow he will be checked up with
the different articles received and be re-
quired TO sign receipt for the same. The
articles are to be the property of the men
until they can be put to no further use,
when they Will be turned in and acquisitions
for new ones made.
Furnishes Recruits.
An evidence of the usefulness of the naval
reserves is seen in the number of men who
have resigned to accept positions in the
regular navy. Since the organization of
the District Naval Reserve no less than
twenty of its members have obtained serv-
ice in Uncle Sans navy as a result of in
struction and experience gained in the local
command. Upon the return of the Fern
from the cruise several others will accept
similar positions, which it is expected will
be open by that time.
Aboard the ship daily are scenes of hustle
and oustie, and this will continue from now
on to the day the ship leaves port.

THE SALE OF THE NEWS.
Formal Order VIII Probably BE En-
tered To-Day.

In all probability the formal order for
the sale of the Indianapolis News will be
entered of record to-day. Before Ferdinand
Winter, attorney for the defendants, went
East relative to a street car settlement. last
Monday, the court instructed the attorneys
to draw up the entry. While Mr.. Winter
was away this was done by Charles w.
Smith, attorney for the plaintiff, and the
order now awaits Mr.. Winters inspection.
Mr.. Winter said last night that he had not
seen Mr. Smith, and there was nothing he
could say as to the terms of sale. more than
what had been discussed in open court,
when it was agreed in a general way that
there should be public sale, the purchaser
to pay one-third more in cash, the bal
ance in deferred payments. How long the
advertisement of the sale should run and
details of that sort remain to be adjusted.
Mr.. Winter said that he knew nothing as
to the authenticity of reports of a syndicate
being formed to purchase the paper. He
supposed that attorneys who got possession
of private memoranda last week that gave
some idea as to the value of the plant rep
resent some possible purchasers, but he said
he had no idea as to who the clients of the
attorneys are.
