NEEDED NO SIGNALS,
Onicer of the Oregon Says American ships
Were Ready for Battle When Ger
vera Came Out OF Santiago.

Washington. Oct. l9.-Lieut. Com
mander Nicholson, who was on the
Oregon during the battle of Santiago,
was an important witness in the
Schley inquiry Friday. Describing the
battle of July 3 he said the warning
signal was given at 9:30 a m. and soon
the boilers and blowers were going
at full tilt. He continued: After the
action commenced we passed the
Texas and the Iowa. The only ship
then ahead of us was the BROOKLYN
All the Spanish ships had gotten out
by this time and we were pursuing
them, heading for the leading ships
I'VE noticed the Maria Teresa drop
astern at less speed than at first, saw
fiames leaping up and out from her
which convinced us she was on fire:
a few minutes after Oquendo appeared
to be covered with smoke and we con-
cluded that she also was or fire, which
proved to be a fact. Just about this
time the Niscaya seemed to head off
to the southwark and west toward
the Brooklyn and fell out of line. The
Viscaya headed toward the BROOKLYN.
DhS ian liittb SOuISt- 1OE some U1Ile
and then Strengthened out again;
then turned i'll shore and few min
uteS lates ran ashore also
Commander Nicholson then detailed
the chase of the Colon, the subsequent
going ashore and surrender.
Commander Nicholson said that he
recalled some signals from the Brook
lyn on the day of the battle, among
others one at the beginning of the
battle to close up and another at
the close of the engagement saying,
"Well done, Oregon Gas for the
first signal" he said, "were were al
ready closing in and it did not infiu-
ence u.s." He had never seen the
Brooklyn and the Texas when they
were closer together than mile or a
mile and half. He also said that he
did not remember any signal from
the Brooklyn to the Oregon to use
her 13-inch guns on the Colon. During
the early part of the engagement he
had seen none of the Spanish vessels
turning toward any of the American
ships and he was sure there was no
well-develOped movement in that di-
rectiOn.

for the Abduction of Miss Stone.

London, Oct. 19.-The Globe says
it fears that the safety of Miss Ellen
NJ. Stone is seriously compromised

VIGOROUS WAR ON THE HEBRASkAN.
Would Lead the Ticket In State and Nation,
He Declares, IL His Presence Is Neces-
sary-Favors the Gold Standard and Is
for the Expansion OF Territory and q
Bigger Army and Navy.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 19-Henry Wat
terson's purpose to enter the arena
as an aspirant for gubernatorial hon.
ors is the political sensation in Ken
tucky. His purpose, as declared by
his intimate friends, is TO stamp Bry-
anism out of the democratic party in
his own state first, and, if he succeeds
here, in the nation afterward. Mr..
Watterson is not only in favor of the
gold standard, but he is an ardent
eXpansionist. He is in favor of the
construction of an isthmian canal. He
is for the expansion of the army and
the navy in keeping with the expan-
sion of the nation, and he favors
other movements which find favor
with the republicans, and that are op-
posed by a large number of Mr.. Bry-
ans followers. But Mr.. Watterson is
not republican. Not only on the
question of the tariff, but upon many
other important issues too well known
to be enumerated does he oppose the
republican party. He believes that
the republican party is not the party
of the people. 1t is three years task
he has set out for himself. 1t means
the abandonment of policy declared
25 years ago, when he avowed he
would never accept the responsible
ties of any Office within the gift of
the people. Now he may be a pres
idential candidate. It has already
been announced that Mr.. Watterson
will be candidate for the democratic
e.,
in 1908, and that if he is successful
in this he may then be in line for
the presidential nomination in 1904.
