patches to him and he said at first that
he gave him four or five dispatches
addressed to the commander OF the
squadron. He afterwards modified this
statement saying that probably all but
two of these dispatches were addressed
to himself (Admiral Cotton), but that
they contained information which he
thought should be in Admiral Schley's
possession. One of these was a copy of
dispatch from Admiral Sampson,
which had not been printed in the Of
fetal records, stating that the Spanish
feet was at Santiago. He also said
that coal could have been taken from
the Merrimac on the 9th Of May, the
day on which the retrograde movement
to Key West was begun for the pur
pose of coaling.

SCHLEYS FIGHTING PLAN
Admiral Declared His Intention Of
Going" For Spanish Ships.
DID NOT GIVE scHLEY THE CODE

Directed the Eagle TO ell COMMANDER
In-Chief of the Insurgents Presence,
But Entirely Neglected the Secret
Code.
Washington, Sept. 2s.-The Schley
court opened it's session today by Mr..
Hanna making a brief apology for the
word accused" he used yesterday as
applied to Admiral Schley
Captain McCalla then resumed his
testimony. The witness said that he
had been present during a conference
of commanding officers on the Brook
lyn while the feet was off Santiago on
May 29 Describing what took place,
he said: The commanding officers
were ordered on board the Brooklyn
on May 29 1t was with regard to the
work of blockade. / can only remem-
Der one specific thing which took place
at the close, and that was that Captain
Evans asked Commodore Schley if the
Spanish ships came out if he was go
ing in for them. He said: Certainly"
and then arranged for subdivision
of fire from the ships under his com
mand on the Spanish ships should they
come out.
Referring to the fact that he had
informed Captain Chadwick, Admiral
SIMPSONS chief of staff, of the code
of signals arranged for communicating
with the insurgent Cubans, he said
that he did not in any way communi-
cate with the commander-in-ch The
witness said further that he thought it
had been common knowledge at Key
West after his arrival there on May
19 that the Cuban insurgents were on
the coast near Cienfuegos, but that no
information was given concerning the
secret code. He had, he said, failed
to give the code to Commodore Schley
when he passed him, when the COM
modore was on his way to Cienfuegos,
because he did not know that the COM
modore was bound for that port
"If had thought that he was going
to Cienfuegos," he said, Il would have
gone alongside and given him my in
formation"
He had ordered the Eagle to give
Commodore Schley information con
cerning the presence of insurgents. but
had not given the secret code to the
commander of that vessel. He would
have done so if he had known the des-
tination of the squadron.
Replying to a question, Captain Nc
Gala said that Commodore Schley's
fleet while off Santiago had never, to
his knowledge been withdrawn to any
distance from the harbor of Santiago.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The Schley
court Of inquiry was IN session for only
an hour and three-quarters yesterday,
adjourning at 1245 in order to permit
it's members and others engaged there
to attend the funeral of Judge Wilson,

Captain Wise concluded his testimony,
Admiral Cotton made brief statement
on recall, and Lieutenant Spencer S.
Wood, who commanded the dispatch
boat Dupont during the Spanish war,

who was in charge of the starboard
engines Of the Texas on the day of the
battle, also testified briefly. He said
that on the day of the battle the star
board engines were stopped and the
machinery reversed.
Captain Wise was questioned at con-
siderable length as to what he had
done before the arrival of the flying
squadron off Santiago towards locating
Cerveras feet in the harbor He said
that while he had satisfied himself of
the presence of the Spanish, he had
been content to communicate his know
ledge to Admiral Schley through Cap
tain Sigsbee, not considering it neces-
aary to make direct communication

TOMB GUARD ATTACKED
Soldier at Late Presidents Resting
Place Tells ThriIinq Story.

Canton, O., Sept. 30.-A strange
story came from Westlawn Cemetery
last night, where a company of regu-
lars from Fort Wayne, Mich, are now
guarding the vault in which the body
of the late President Mckinley lies.
1t is to the effect that the guard on
duty on the top of the vault fired a
shot at one man who refused to heed
his challenge, that the shot was divert
ed by another man. who appeared from
another direction, and that an effort
was made to stab the guard.
Private Deprend was on guard duty
on top of the vault at a point COM
manding the entrance below, and the
men appeared from the rear. Shortly
before 7.30 he saw what he took to be
the face of man peering from behind
a tree about 40 feet from his post. He
watched it for 20 minutes, he says, and
at 745 saw the man hurry to a tree
10 feet nearer
He challenged the man to halt, but
this was not needed, and the fellow
approached nearer. Deprend leveled
his gun and aimed to shoot for effect,
but just at that instant another man.
who came toward him from the oppo-
site side, caught the gun. threw 1t up,
and the bullet was spent in the air
This same man struck Deprend on the
right side of the abdomen with knife
or other sharp weapon, cutting an 81" /"
cash in his overcoat an inch and a
half long each way and smaller one
tn his blouse. The flesh was not
broken but was bruised under the cuts
in the clothing. Deprend in the strug-
gle fell and rolled down the side of
the vault
Lieutenant Ashbridge. officer of the
day, was in front of the vault, and
rushed to the top on hearing the shot
but the men made good their escape.
All members of the company on hear
ing the shot hurried to the vault, and
besides searching the cemetery the
guard was increased.
Since the incident stories have been
told in camp of some incendiary con-
versations overheard in the crowds
that have visited the cemetery, in
cluding one yesterday, alleging that
some stranger said: Lots of people
would like to see this whole thing
blown up"
