Groceries. bakeries. fish stores and milk stores
are compelled 10 close on Sunday at 10 q
Since the passage of the special law affecting
the sale of meat the butcher shops in the citS
have been shut all day Sunday

stroy the torpedo destroyers of the
Spanish. He saw the main battle only
from a distance. In addition TO his
testimony that the chart was not sat
isfactory to the navigators of the va
rious vessels, he said that he did not
see any signals to the fleet from the
Brooklyn during the battle, nor did ne
see any change of course on the part
of any of the Spanish vessels.
Capt. w. NJ Folger was recalled to
correct his testimony, and said that he
went on board the flag ship and talked
with Commodore Schley, suggesting
that the blockade of Santiago be made
like that which the Japanese kept off
Wei Hal Wei, the ships be in a semi
circle. The commodore did not agree
with him.
Lieut.. NJ. L. Bristol, former watch
and division officer of the Texas, told
of the positions of the ships on the
morning of July 8. He said he had
seen part of the battle, after he had
fired three shots from the 12-inch guns.
When he returned TO deck the Brook
slyn was off to the south relatively as
far as the Spaniards were to the
north. He described the chase and the
end of the battle at length. Later, ne
was asked to make measurements from
his chart as TO the beginning positions
at the beginning of the battle, which
showed that the nearest ship of the
Spanish fleet to the Brooklyn, was $500
yards distant.
Mr. Rayner asked: How can you
reconcile that statement with that Of
Lieutenant Commander Hodgson. that
the range at the time of the turn OF
the Brooklyn was l, 400 yards?'
Il cannot reconcile my statement
with that of Lieutenant Commander
Hodgson.'
Then these two statements are per
fcctly irreconcnable?
"A range of 1,400 yards at that time
of the turn of the Brooklyn is abso-
lutely irreconcilable."
Rear Admiral W. s. Schley ended his
active career in the navy today and
tomorrow he will go on the retired list
by operation OF law on account of age.
His retirement will have no effect
whatever on the court of inquiry.

SHIPS FAR FROM
THE BROOKLYN

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-There were
Two new witnesses before the schley
court of inquiry today, They were
Commander Wainwright, who COM
manded the Gloucester during the war
with Spain, and Lieut.. NJ. L. Bristol
who, as an ensign, was watch and
division officer on the battleshin dir
ing that period.
Commander Wainwright's Testimony
dealt largely with chart making. Hs
was for time senior member of tbe
board of navigators which preparal
the official chart showing the position
of the American ships during the battla
off Santiago, and he gave details of
the method of its preparation. He
said he did not consider the positions
assigned in that drawing accurate
but they were given as result of a
compromise of the views of the men,
bers of the board.
Commander Wainwright was in com
mand Of the converted yacht Glouces-
ter during the battle, and being at the
extreme right of line of the United
states fleet, attacked and helped to de-
