THE THIRD DAYS DRAWING.

by Thursday Night.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. IA special
to the Star from FL Reno, Okla, says:
Commissioner Richards called "all
ready" at eight o'clock Wednesday
morning, and the third days drawing
at the great land lottery was begun
with q rush. The weather was cool
and bracing, and everybody felt ambi-
tious to hurry the drawing through
as lively as possible. The crowd
pushed and jostled each other, in a
good-humored way, to get as close
as possible to the platform. Two
thousand names were expected to be
drawn from each wheel during the
day, and enough Thursday to make u
total of $500 from each wheel. The
story OF success or disappointment
for the 10000 remaining homeseek-
ers will then have been told.

New York, Aug. 1.-The Madrid
representative OF the Journal and Ad-
vertiser has obtained an interview
from Capt. Diaz Morea, who com
manded the Cristobal Colon during
the naval conflict off Santiago. Says
Capt. Morau in reference to the
movements of Admiral Schley:
All Did Their Duty.
"All the American officers, without
exception, did their duty in the naval
battle of Santiago. So did we, al
though it is certain that we were van
Quished by superiority of force 1t
is absurd and unpatroitic to make any
exception in the case of Admiral
Schley. 1t is absurd, because the
Brooklyn was in the thick of the
fight throughout. She was at the
mouth Of the harbor when we tried
to pass out, and engaged us with a
terrific fire, doing frightful damage
20 the end. In the pursuit OF the
Cristobal Colon we surrendered to the
Brooklyn As miles west of santiago.
The Brooklyn Was First.
"The Brooklyn was the first to en-
counter us as we were coming land
the first to lead in the pursuit, and
she kept up the lead, with the
Oregon vastly aiding. The brooklyn
landed shell just ahead of my ship,
and with the Oregon helping her,
there was nothing left for me to do
but to run ashore.
Bore = Brave Part.
1.-THE Brooklyn's conduct was grave;
hence Commodore Scbley was brave.
Schley was on post, where he was put
by Sampson. After the battle COM
menced each commander acted ac.
cording to circumstances, and events
show that the Brooklyn bore brave
part. l should say that Schley was
not only brave, but very competent, as
is Sampson, whom l know personally,
