TO DEAR sCHLEY
The Outcome of Difference of Con struction in the Last Friendly Letter That Passed Between the Two Admirals--Commandsr Hodg.
 son Repeats the Oft Disputed Col oquy Amid the Smoke at Santiago.

Washington. Get. An the Schley counsel for Admiral Schley, asked Judge Advocate Lemly to sum- mon Admiral Sampson as a witness in the case. The request grew out of the difference in the construction of a sen tence in Admiral Sampson's letter to Commodore Schley written from Key West May 20. when Commodore Schley was with the flying squadron that lay off Cienfuegos. This is known as the Dear Schley'' letter As printed in the navy department documents sup piled to the senate the Admiral said, after an expression of opinion nos withstanding that the Spanish squad ron was in Santiago it was better ) continue the blockade of CIenfuegos and Havana, .We shall continue 10 hold Havana and Santiago until We receive more positive information During the examination of Comnan- der Raymond P. Rogers, this dispatch was under consideration, when Mr. Raynor expressed the opinion that the word Santiago" had been inadvertent- ly used by the commander in chief. as assuming that he meant to use the word "Cienfuegos'' as better corre- spending with the text. As the docu- ment was printed there was a paren- thetical rote to which Admiral Schley's initials were attached. saying that ev- idently the wrong city had been men tioned.
 Raynor asked Judge Advocate Lem ly to make this concession kut the lat ter declined to oo so, saying he wouii produce the original of Admiral Samp- sons dispatch to prove that he had said Santiago. Then Raynor said: ''I cannot take the word Santiago to mean anything but Cienfuegos. It is an imputation on Commodore Schley.. and I cannot permit 1t to rest without summoning the author of that dis patch.'' To which Lemly responded: ''I told you once before you can sum- mon anyone you wish
 Then" retorted MT. Raynor, sum mon Admiral Sampson"
 This occurred a short time before the adjournment of the court for the day. and was the subject of more or less conversation of an animated character after the days work was concluded. MT. Raynor only said he would insist on the admiral being summoned unless the correction was conceded.
 Commander Hodgson followed Cap tain Rogers on the stand. He related the story of the battle, and how the SpaniardS came out ana at1ackeu the Americans. He said when Schley was told that the enemy was looming for us.' he said in reply, Well, then, go for them" Helm was put aport ani the Brooklyn went straight for the en- emy. He next heard the commodore say, Look out, Cook, they're going to ram you-
 Cook replied that he would look out for that. Then he heard the commo- dore sing out, Hard aport!" and Car tain Cook replied that the helm was aport. The commodore. the witness said, when told that he would ram the Texas, said: Damn the Texas; let her take care of herself" The witness said he estimated the distance from the Texas to be 250 or 800 yards.

BRITISH PLAN NOT LEGAL.
Westlake Against Putting Boers or
 Trains to Stop Wrecking

London. Oct. 4.-Prof John West lake of Cambridge law university a well known authority on interna tional law. referring to the much discussed question of the right to put Boers on trains in South Africa with the ob- ject of preventing train wrecking. de- clares against it on the following grounds:
 Annexation converted the Trans vaal and Orange River Colony burgh- CTS into subjects of King Edward. Those who are living peaceably under his government are not governed by the laws of war, but by those of the land. and Great Britain claims their ale glance. as was proved in the ar rest of Dr. Krause the former gover- nor of Johannesburg, on a charge of treason. Therefore to put peaceable exlBoer on a railway train as a de- fense would be the same as doing it to a natural-born British subject.
 If it Is suggested to take the victim to the concentrate camps a dilemma arises. If they. are free to leave the camps they are within the category of persons who have accepted the kings change of status by living peaceably under the kings government If they are not free the British have no right to assume that it Is their option. If they had any they would have so ex- ercised it as to make them still ene- mics of Great Britain.
 Apart from the legal point, even the Germans did not put the Frsnch noia- bles on trains without giving notice. which is difficult to give to all the scat tered bands of the Transvaal and the Orange River colonies.

Judge Warner Says Nobody Knows
 What the Decision Will Be.

Rochester. Oct. A ridiculous story in connection with the Molneux case appeared in some of the New York today. purporting to give the decision of the court of appeals granting a new trial. Judge William E. Werner one of the members of the court, was asked to confirm or deny the story.
 ''I decline to dignify the story with an interview" said he. "I will say. however, that it is an unmdtigated fake. Nobody. not even the court as q. court, knows what the decision is to be-"

The smothering Scene.

AS to stage appointments, there
were no plush or velvet curtains or
couches draped with satin in early
days. The furniture was as unpreten-
tious as the costumes. Indeed on one
occasion when lady was playing Des-
demona to her husbands Othello a dis
astrous and at the same time ludicrous
effect, though of course unrehearsed
had been imminent through the lack of
even a nail or two to make an old stool
steady.
1t was the smothering scene, and the
couch was made up of two chairs and a
rickety stool covered, Of course, with
the simplest draperies-a red merino
curtain trimmed with yellow worsted
fringe. Imagine a Desdemona endeav-
oring to recllne gracefully, all the while
feeling portions of her couch sliding
from under her. This is how the scene
was played out:
Desdemona-Kill me tomorrow; let me live to-
night. Q'm falling. dearD
Othello-Nay. if you strive Keep quite still.)
Desdemona-But half an hour. ooh, hold med
Othello-Being done, there is no pause. Qn
push the stool under.)
Desdemona-But while say prayer. (Do be
quick, Robert. it is slipping)
Othello-It is too latel
Which, indeed, it was, for the bed col
lapsed, and Desdemona's body lay up
on the floor, her head upon the sole
chair, which stuck to its post faithful

A Dreadful Moment.

A conductor on the Park line had an
experience the other day that Is quite
certain to cause him many uncomforta-
BILE minutes in the future. His car
stopped at Spruce street to let middle
aged lady on, and as she took her seat
the conductor gave the motorman two
bells, and the car shot ahead. When
the conductor entered the car, the wo-
man In question was looking out of the
window and did not see his outstretch-
ed hand.
"Fare, please" remarked the con-
ductor.
The woman evidently did not hear
him, for she did not turn her head.
Neither did she hold out the necessary
coin.
"Fare, please" said the conductor in
q louder tone.
But the woman paid no heed. Then
the conductor touched her on the shoul-
der and in q tone of voice that rang
through the car exclaimed:
"Your fare, please, lady,!
Then the woman turned hastily
around and looked at the conductor.
The knight Of the bellcord gave one
gasp and fed to the back platform.
The woman was his mother-in-law.-

the war Jones senior was sent to the
state senate An old slave who had
belonged to him was also elected to the
senate. The two drew adjoining seats.
Senator Jones was very courteous and
in addressing his former slave always
called him senator. The old negro
stood 1t for some time and finally said:
"Massa William. l don't like dis sena-
tor business. KANT l come down to
yo' house and visit that cook of yourn
/ suhtinly would like permission to Wis
1t yo' kitchen"
The request was granted, and while
