Beale also said he had translated into
CIPHER Commodore Schley's response to
the dispatch of May 18th. He explained
the verbal changes in this dispatch, say

chief while lying on blockade"
The witness also said in reply to the
Court that the Spanish ships had not
turned to the west when the Brooklyn be-
gan her turn.
The Court asked what ships would have
had their fire blanketed if the Brooklyn
hao turned with starbcard helm?
Captain Cook replied that "the fire OF
the Texas might have been blanketed
and the movements of the Oregon might
have been nterfered with.
AT Santiago the blockade had" he
said, been from five to six miles off the
entrance to the harbor.' Captain Cook
was then excused.

Lieutenant Commander W. f. Fullam

mand had been from six to eight miles

orders except the order from the COM
mander of the New Orleans to keep 1t

Describing the engagement with the
Colon on May 31st, he said all the shots
fired, with ore exception, had fallen

out Of the blocleading line at Santiago.
the witness said it was about the same

OIL FEVER ABATING.

The oil fever is on the wane in
the Beaumont district and a large
number of people have left for
other fields, where rich strikes
are reported. The scene of spec
ulation and prospecting has been
transferred to southern Louisiana,
where no doubt oil exists, and
perhaps in paying quantities.
However, it is a very rich agri-
cultural section and is a good
field for investment. North Lou
isiana is rich in merchantable
timber, and no doubt valuable
coal and iron beds exist. Here,
also, is an inviting field for the
capitalist.
The charters of about 100 of
the 1913 oil companies organized
in the Beaumont oil district have
been declared forfeited by the
Secretary of State of Texas. The
reason was that the promoters
had failed to pay the annual fran
chise tax. Most of these concerns
are capitalized for 100000 to
$500, 900 and are of the ''wild-
cat'' variety. The total capital
ization of these companies is
100000 mostly on paper.
About 500 suits have been filed
by adverse claimants, which adds
to the uncertainty of stockholders
realizing on investments.
