THE DEFENSE BEGUN
Captain Cook Chief Witness
Before Schley Court.
The ENTIRE CAMPAIGN REVIEWED.
The Admiral Always Regarded ms
an Enthusiastically Brave and
Patriotic Omccr-Cuban
Pilot Called.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-In the
Schley court of inquiry yesterday
Judge Advocate Lemly concluded pres
entation of testimony for the govern
ment. and the first of Admiral Schley's
witnesses was introduced.
Captain Francis \. Cook. who COM
manded Admiral then Commodore
Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, dur
ing the Santiago campaign and who
acted, though unoflicially, in the ca
pacity of chief of staff for the COM
modore, was on the witness stand the
greater part of the day. He was fol
lowed by Lieutenant Commander Will
liam +. Fullam. who was senior watch
officer on the New orleans during the
Spanish war, and former Lieutenant
Joseph Beale, who, as an officer on
the Harvard, translated the cipher dis
patches between Commodore Schley
and the navy department carried by
that vessel. Among these dispatches
was that sent by Commodore Schley
May %, expressing his regret at not
being able to obey the orders of the
department and explaining the reason
why he could not do so. There are
some verbal discrepancies between the
original draft of this dispatch and the
official print of it, and these Mr.. Beale
explained. Lieutenant Beale was the
last of the government witnesses, al
though Captain Lemly explained that
he would reserve the right to call 9TH
Prs if reason should demand that he
10 so.
He had no sooner retired than the
first witness for Admiral Schley was
called. This proved to be the Cuban
pilot Edwardo Nunez, who told Schley
on May 2G, 1898. that he did not be-
ieve the Spanish fleet under Cervera
was in the harbor ut Santiago.
Captain Cooks testimony was re-
view of the entire campaign after Ger
vera's fleet, beginning with the de-
parture of the flying squadron from
Key West on May 10 and concluding
with the battle off Santiago July 8.
He said that at first it had been belev-
cd by both Sampson and Schley that
the Spanish fleet was in the harbor at
Cienfuegos and that no information to
the contrary had been conveyed to
Commodore Schley until the arrival of
Captain McCalla on May "a; that it
was Commodore Schley's expectation
to meet the Spaniards in the open sea,
and his constant care was to have coal
enough for such emergency. He gave
particulars concerning the retrograde
movement and explained the Brooklyn
loop in connection with a graphic ac-
count of the engagement on July 3.
Asked for an opinion as to Admiral
Schley's bearing as a commanding Of
Gcer, he said, 81 always regarded him
as an enthusiastically brave and patri-
otto officer"

LETTER FROM PAT GROVE.
Man Accused of Cudahy Kidnapping
Ofers to Surrender.

OMAHA, Ncb., Oct. 14.-Chief of Po-
lice John ]. Donahue has received q
letter from Pat Grove naming the
terms on which he will surrender. The
letter came in care of an Omaha news
paper In which it Is published, and
covers fifteen closely written pages of
manuscript. The postmark Is illegible,
but the letter was mailed at 3 o'clock
in the morning and reached this city at
o'clock in the evening of the same
day, indicating that it had not travelled
long distance. In the letter Grove
agrees to give himself up at once and
stand trial for the kidnapping of Eddie
Cudahy provided he shall not be locked
up until jury shall adjudge him
guilty. lie says he is unable to fur
nlsh bond in excess of $500 and de-
mands that bail be fixed in that sum.
Chief Donahue, when asked his opin-
ion of the gcnuineness of the letter,
expressed himself as quite satisfied
that it came from Grove. Donahue
has known Grove for several years
ana Is accustomed to his manner,
handwriting and style of speech. The
chief also received letter from
CroWe's uncle at Manchester, Ia, sub
hitting similar terms for Groves sur
render, which lead the police to believe
that they are dealing wifi the right
man.
The letter then states that the chief
would not know him, that he weighs
200 pounds and is looking fine. lie
says he has been in South America
and Africa, fighting with the Beers,
and expresses his disgust with Great
Britain and his sympathy for the
Beers. He closes the main part of his
letter by saying he regrets that Mr.
Cudahy should suspect him of kidnap-
ing the boy and hoping soon to receive
a reply from the chief, which he di-
reefs should be made through a local
paper.

DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED
Peruna Creating National Sensation in the Cure
of Chronic Ailments of the Kidneys.

Mr.. John Vance, of Hartford City, Ind,
says: "My kidney trouble is much
better. I have improved so much that
everybody wants to know what medi-
cine [ am using. / recommend Peruna
to everybody and some have commenced
to use it. The folks all say that if DR..
Hartman's medicine cures me it must be
great."-JOHN VANCE.
Mr.. j. Brake, of PefroIea, Ontario,
Canada, writes: "Four years ago /
had a severe attack of Brighf's Dis
ease, which brought me so low the
doctor said nothing more could be
done for me. Ibegan to take Peruna
and Manain. and I'm three months !
was a well man, and have continued
so ever since. "---J. Brake.
At the appearance of the first symptom
of kidney trouble, Peruna should be
taken. This remedy strikes at once the
very root of the disease. 1t at once re-
lieves the catarrhal kidneys of the stag
nant blood, preventing the escape of
serum from the blood. Peruna stimu-
lates the kidneys to excrete from the
blood the accommodating poison, and thus
prevents the commissions which are sure
to follow if the poisons are allowed to
remain. II gives great vigor to the
hearts action and digestive system, both
of which are apt to fail rapidly in this
disease.

THE CANON ADOPTED
Church Takes Firm Stand on
Marriage Question.
MARRIAGE OF DIVORCES PROHIBITED
DIR. Huntington's Amendment In Fa-
vOr of Innocent Party on Ground
of Adultery Rejected by
n Close Vote.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-The
house of deputies of the Episcopal
Church of America, sitting as Il com,
mittee of the whole, yesterday adopted
the proposed canon prohibiting the re-
marriage of divorced persons for causes
not arising previous to their former
marriage. The canon was adopted as
1t came from the house of bishops. The
vote stood 1872 for to 1913 against.
The amendment of Dr. Huntington
of New York making an exception in
the case of the innocent party of di-
vorce granted ON the ground of adul-
terry was rejected by vote of 15S to
175.
The result of the vote in the commit
tee of the whole was reported to the
house of deputies, which will vote on
the matter.
The result, however, may not be the
same, for in that house the vote of
thirty delegations is required to carry
n measure, the divided delegations
virtually counting among the nays. No
time was set for final vote by the
house, but it presumably will be taken
today.
Previous TO this action in committee
of the whole the house of deputies
adopted the resolutions presented by
DR.. Mc4iim of Washington. providing
for a standing joint commission of both
houses to consider the relations of la
Dor and capital. 1t is to consist Of
three bishops, three presbyters and
three laymen and shall report its pro-
ceedings to each general convention.
The afternoon session of the house
Of deputies was held behind closed
doors and was devoted entirely TO con
sideration and voting on the five nomi-
nations for missionary bishops hand
ed down from the house of bishops.

THE CHINESE FLOODS.
YanEtse Highest In Fifty Years-Im-
mense Damage Done.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The navy
department has received report from
the United States steamship Helena re-
garding the devastation by flood of the
Yangtse valley above Marking, Chi
ma. The water reached the highest in
fifty years. The devastation was wide
spread, the flood wiping out old villages
and sweeping away the lightly con-
structed farmhouses. The extensive
crops of rice, corn and beans have
been too long covered by the water to
survive, scarcely any live stock re-
mains. and famine stares the people in
the face. The loss of life was very
great, thousands being drowned in the
region just below Kiukiang and also on
the north side of the river. Kiukiang
and Wuhu being treaty ports, informa-
ton was Obtainable from the Euro
peans there, but from many other Chi
nese cities not open to foreign trade
there has been no estimate of the loss
of life nor to what extent the natives
are dependent on charity.
Shanghai newspapers say that the
distress is the worst that has occurred
in half a century. To add to the suf-
fering a storm, the center of which
passed near Kiukiang on Aug. 2, de-
stroyed great part of what remained
of the farmhouses and the rudely con-
structed platforms built above the wa
ter and in the trees by the people.
Riots and robberies prevail as result
of suffering from hunger.
The interests of the United States in
the region affected are conferred in the
missions, and property belonging to
United States subjects is situated
mainly near the treaty ports. The
number of missionaries is about 300
men, women and children.
