of finding out if the Spanish fleet was In Santiago, the same purpose that Commodore schIey was there for. They dld not find out. Commodore Schley did. They go scot free and Commodore Schley Is to be con. demned."
 MT. Rayner then referred to the depart ment dispatch Of May 19 which Captain Cotton testified to delivering on board the Brooklyn and in which the positive statement was made that the spanish fleet was in the harbor at Santiago, and said that 1t was certain it never had been received by the Commodore.
 He also asserted that Admiral Cotton had not stated positively that hh had oellvered it to the Commodore
 Returning again to Captain Sigsbee's testimony he said
 If Captain slgsbee had said to Com mooore 5chley that the Spanish fleet was In there Commodore Schley would never have gone to the westward on what Is called his retrograde movement. Every Incident around off Santiago, Cap tain Jewells failure to communicate, Captain Wise's absolute failpre to com municate, Captain Sigsbees positive as- surances, the putting of the Cuban pilot on board, everything conveyed the doubt to the mind of Commodore kchley Con- modore Sch1ey was perfectly right In saying that he had worthless collier because for twenty-four hours according to the testimony of Captain Miller she was absolutely helpless. With broken down collier; with the Marblehead which could not coal; with the Texas, which be- cause of her projecting sponsors could not coal; with both of these ships with only sufficient amount of coal on hand to get half way to Martinique; with the positive assurance of Captain Sigsbee, sustained and corroborated by the Gu ban pilot that the fleet was not in Sam tiago and he did the only thing he could do. and that was, to turn to the west for coal. When the weather cleared and the sea became smooth, he coaled. Then he returned to his position of Santiago, gave battle on July 8 and struck down the Spanish fleet. at the same time taking from Spain her ancient possessions on the face Of the American continent.

MIR. RAYNoR CLOSES HIS SPEECH.

Such trial as this has never to my knowledge taken place in history. It has taken three years to reveal the truth. There Is not single word that has fallen from the tongue of single witness, friend or foe, that casts the shadow of a reflection on the honoreu name of the hero of Santiago. He has never claimed the glory of that day. The valiant Cook, the heroic Clarke, the lamented Phillipp, the intrepid and undaunted Wainwright and all the other captains and every man at every gun and every soul on board of every ship are equal participants with Admiral 5chley in the honor wrought upon that immortal day.
 We cannot strike down his figure standing upon the bridge of the. Brook lyn. There he stands upon the bridge of the Brooklyn his ship almost alone re- ceiving the entire fire of the Spanish fleet, until the Oregon. as if upcQ the wings of lightning sped Into aJe. th<ck- ness of this mortal carnage TeS1 TaeSS the Oregon was the fheer raNg from deck to deck. ana on ths went, twin brothers in the chase, uhg .x's lee gun was fired from tHe Cristtl Colon and the despotic eoicEs of SPaA xxere swept from the face of her aniain nos. sessions. Well done; tongratulafe, ,,o,i or the victory, was the streamer ysxs sent from the halyArd of the BIaao,.yn, and from that day to this no L5has ever heard from Admiral Schfs$ the slightest whisper or intimation that he usurped the glory Of that imperishable hour The thunders of the Brooklyn as she trembled on the waves have been dis cordant music to the ears of envious foes, but they have pierced with a ringing melody the ears of his countrymen and struck a responsive chord at the fireside of every home.

GENEROUS SPIRIT AND FoRGIvlNG HEART.

And what ls more than all which has been revealed In this case, as match less as Is hIs courage and as unsuIIied as Is his honor, is his beautiful char acter and the generous spirit that anI- mates his soul and the foralving heart that beats within his bosom. We can not strike him down. Erect he stands as the McGregor when his step was on hIs native heath and hls eye was on the peak of Ben Lomond. His coun- try does not want to strike him down nor cast blur on the pure escutcheon of his honored name.
 For three long years he has suffered, and now, thank God, the hour of his vindication has come. With composure. with resignation, with supreme and un- faltering fortitude, he awaits the judg~ rhent of this illustrious tribunal. and when that deliverance comes he can, from the high and exalted position that he occupies, look down upon his traducer and maligners and with exultant pride exclaim: I care not for the venemous gossip of clubs and drawingrooms and cliques and cabals and the poisoned shafts of envy and malice. await under the guidance of Divine Providence, the verdict of posterity."
 Mir. Rayner closed at 3:30 o'clock, hav- ing spoke about three hours. The large audience broke into applause when he concluded, and the members of the court, as well as others, congratulated him up- on his speech. Admiral Schley was in tears. greatly affected by the concluding remarks and attending scenes.
 The court then adjourned until D. m. tomorrow, when Captain Lemly will de- liver the closing argument for the gov- ernment.

CHINESE OFFICIALS ANNOYED
Over the Failure of British Troops To
 Evacuate Pekin.

Pekln, August H.-The British troops, who have been here since last year, arc leaving and are being relieved by new commands. Three companies of the Four teenth Sikahs and a battalion of the Sixth Burmahs have arrived. Colonel Cary replaces Colonel Alexander as com mander in Pelrin.
 The failure of the British to evacuate Pelkin annoys the Chinese officials. They alone refuse to permit Yuan Shih Kai's troops to enter Pekin, though only two of the twelve proposed posts are within the former British section.
 Chinese officials confess that the reason given for the courts delay in returning to Pekin is a mere pretext. The excuse offered recently has been the bad condi- tions of the roads, the heat, the infirmity of the Empress Dowager and the desire to celebrate her birthday at Kai Feng Flu. The real reasons are that the powers still rtain supremacy In Pekin and vi- cinity and even evacuation has not been accomplished.
 Chinese censors are being obstruction ists. They have sent several memorials to the throne, especially denouncing the Chinese for assisting foreigners who thought their aid necessary in the ad- mdnistration of affairs in Pekin.

Notes and Personals.

The American press is constantly filled with the commercial and philan- thropic interests of Mir Andrew Carnegie, but very little seems to be written of the social life of Skiho Castle, where the Carnegie's live so happily in Scotland. A recent social paper item in an Eastern paper in referring to the Carnegies, states:
 MT. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie will have among many of the autumn guests at Skibo Castle, Scotland, Miss Jean Armour Burns Brown, granddaughter of Robert Burns. who is said to strongly resemble the portraits of the poet. Mir. William R. Smith. superintendent of the National Botanical Gardens in Washington, will also visit Skibo. MT. Smith has present ed to MT. Carnegie many of the rare shrubs and trees which have been added to the park at Skibo since MT. Carnegie became the owner. Besides erecting the beautiful castle, MT. Carnegie has, after a plan of his own, transformed the estate into a triumph of landscape gardening. There are inland lakes studded with wooded islets. which few years growth

Skibo Castle is famous for It's record of litigation, extending over six centuries. It has been wrested from owners by grasping prelates, by creditors and by murderous family feuds, and it is said that an action has now been brought by the former proprietor, which may rem der MT. Carnegie's title null and void. It Is called the fairest spot in the land with wooded slopes and deep mountain lochs, and is with it's present owner. the home of delightful and open hospitality.

BoERS NUMBER 13,50o.
Lord Kitchener Says Their Food Sup

London, August 21.-In a dispatch dated July and detailing the condition of af- fairs at the front at that time Lord Kitchener says:
 There are no more than 13,500 Boers now under arms. Although they are not able longer to undertake extensive opera tions, their apparently inexhaustible sup plies of food enable them to maintain an obstinate resistance without retaining anything or defending the smallest por- tion of this vast country.
 ''The wearing down process is necessar- fly slow rendering the employment of a large number of troops still necessary. Great patience is still required to see the inevitable and of an insensate resistance which, while 1t cannot affect the result, has become unjustifable in prolonging the war and the sufferings of women and children
 Since this dispatch was written the losses of the Boers have brought their forces down to about |, ,000
