centered their fire on the Brooklyn, he

shells which missed his yes sci and heard

Of the Spanish ships would get away,
and said to Captain Cook: I'VE are alone
with them. We must stay with this
crowd. If they could have shot as well
as our people the Spaniards would have
| got u.s."
Then the rear admiral saw the Oregon
break through the smoke and come up
near the Brooklyn, and give splendid as
sistance.
Captain Cook was constantly by the
side of Schley and was directed to keep
! the men below informed of the progress
of the battle. These messages had the
desired effect, as they were answered by
cheers which were heard through the ven
tilator. If4 then described the running
ashore of two other Spanish vessels and
the chase of the Colon. During the
chase Schley got occasional glimpses of
the Indiana and Gloucester, but could not
see what they were doing.
Just before the Vizcaya went ashore It
received a wound that listed it so much
that Schley thought it would capslze.
The signal halyards and speed cones
Of the Brooklyn were shot away, and one
Of these came near striking Schley, who
stood on the bridge as it fell into the
water.
As the Brooklyn gained on the Colon.
Schley ordered extra ammunition, 50 that

1t was exactly 2:23 p. IN. when the Net
York arrived, which was one hour ane
eight minutes after she Colon had sur.
rendered. The New York, with Sampson
aboard. could be seen in the distance
through long marine glasses and Schley
signaled word Of the victory and added:

CZ0LG0SZ WIPED OUT
LAW DESTROYS EVERY SHRED
OF THE ASSASSIN.
President Mckinley's Slayer Is Moth
ing but ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Chair,
Quicklirne and Oblivion Is the Au-
swer TO the Hiss of Anarchy.

Leon f. CzolgoSz, The murderer OF Pres
ident Mckinley, was eIeetroeuJed at
o'clock Tuesday moraing in Auburn
prison. The sentence ot the court was
that the execution OF Czolgosz should
take place during the week beginning
Oct. 2S, and Warden Mead selected Tues
day, the 18th as the day when the Jaw 5
mandate should he "lrried out.
On the morning Of the execution no
enc except the witnesses was allowed TO
enter the prison gate. and even the pos
session of an invitation WAS not sufficient
to admit the bearer aEltss he could be
identihed. There had hern twentystN
invitations issued aud all were positively
non-transferable The only newspaper
men admitted were the representatives OF
The thret press associations aud the own
ers of the two Auburn newspapers.
They killed. Czolgosz quickly. deeorous-
" and without hitch or accident in the
execution chamber Of the New York State
prison. Tho assassin went to his death
an anarchist and IN inhdel His mo-
ment Of peni'ence had passed, and almost
his last WORD was a declaration that he
was not sorry Tor what he had done.
Six weeks aftel his crime the ASS 'sin
of the President died Now not even his
body eumbers Il earth. There are no
death masks: no grawsomc exhibits.
CTolgosz's body has been consumed by
t e chemicals that were poured upon It in
the grave. Six barrels Of quicklime and
a carboy Of sulphuric acid transformed
the deep pit in the prison plot into a
caldron of liquid tire that seethed and
bubbled TO the very feet Of the conyiets
who were shoyeling back the earth into
the assassin's grave.

two ships was never closer than SOC
yards, that there never was any danger
of the two vessels colliding, and that the
loop was absolutely necessary to prevent
sacrificing the Brooklyn. as, if that ship
had been turned toward the Spaniards in
stead of away from them, the Brooklyn
would have been in dagerous proximity
to the Spanish torpedo boats.
Turn Made to Save the Vessel.
Schley turned away from the Span
iards, he said, because it was useless TO
sacrifice the Brooklyn, because so much
depended on that ship on the day of the
battle. and, in turning away, he did what
he believed was for the good of the coun-
try, sinking individual considerations on
this occasion. There was distinct move
ment on the part of the Maria Teresa and
the viscaya, he declared, to ram the
Brooklyn, one of the Spanish ships be-
ing less than LOO yards from Schley S
flagship.
So positive was Schley that the Span
iards were going to ram the Brooklyn
that he called to Captain Cook, Look
out, Cook, they are going to ram you.
Captain Cook was under the same impress
sion, as he had already given the order
to turn the helm to port.
In making the turn which Schley said
was absolutely necessary, he asserted
that the Brooklyn was never more than
600 yards to sea ward, and that during the
turn the helm was always hard aport
and was not eased, but the turn was
made in the shortest possible time.
Taking up the retrograde movement,
Rear Admiral Schley explained that the
Merrimac had broken down, was abso-
lutely unnanageable, and was incapable
of turning a propeller. They went fur
them westward than Schley intended. as
they had difficulty in making the Yale,
which was towing the Merrimac, under
stand the ardois signal. The Merrinac
and the Texas both sprung leak, and
this contributed to the difficulties. The
physician on board the Texas recon-
mended that coaling operations be sus-
pended for awhile, as, owing to the in
tense heat, the men were becoming ex-
hausted.
The retrograde movement was made
with a view 20 equaiizing the coal Of the
ships of the feet so as TO be in better
position when they met the enemy.
Schley had been given what was suppos-
ed to be authentic formation that the
Spanish feet was not in Santiago and he
therefore thought the proper movement
was to go vest, and not to eastward, as
that would bring him nearer to the mill
tary base at Havana.
The rear ADMIRAL then took mp the
blockade and he said it had been demon
strated it was effective, as it was sue
cessful in preventing the entrance Of any
vessel as well as the escape OF the en-
emy. L was always possible fo- hin
10 see the shore line, and he said the dis
lance east and west Of the harbor was
much nearer than has been testified 10
By officers, and tina. the same is true
regarding ths distance from nAazns
