Willemstad, Curacao, Oct. 5.-The
Associated Press has received the
following from it's correspondent in
the field:
The most serious feature of the Qua
jira campaign today is the attitude of
the Guiajira Indians. When the Ven
ezuleans first entered the peninsula
they robbed the Indians of cattle and
generally malterated them. The In
dams are now retaliating, cruelty mu-
tilating and numbering many fugitives
who have been struggling since the
defeat over the waterless, burning fiat
peninsula in an effort to reach their
lines or the coast.
General Davila's first fight at euro
ga was futile. Five Venezuelan bat
talions of 400 men each engaged the
Columbians, estimated at the same
number. 1t is now known that Gen.
Echeverria was killed on the battle
field and not shot by Colombians. The
sacred battalion was composed of
gentlemen volunteers. After Echever-
ria was killed, Ermilio Castro, brother
of the president, fled the field. An
other battalion then broke. The three
remaining kept up fighting after the
fight of the higher officers had been
routed and 600 were killed on the Ven
ezuelan side, including minor officers.
All flags of the VenezuelaDs were lost.

Washington, Oct. Sin the court Of
inquiry yesterday Rayner, chief
counsel for Schley, asked Lemly to
summon Admiral Sampson as a wit
ness in the case. The request grew
out of the difference in construction
of sentence in SIMPSONS letter 10
Schley written from Key West May 20
while Schley was with the flying
squadron off Cienfuegos. This S
known as the Dear Schley" letter and
in it as printed in the navy documents
supplied the senate, the admiral said,
after expressing the opinion, notwita-
standing the report that the Spanish
squadron was in Santiago, it We're bet
ter to continue the blockade of Gle l.
fuegos and HAVANA, and added, We
shall continue to hold Havana and
Santiago until we receive more posi-
tive information"
During the examination of Com
mander Rodgers, this dispatch was
under consideration when Raymer ex-
pressed the opinion that the word
Santiago" had been inadvertently
used by the commander-in-chief, as
Stunning that he meant to use Cienfue-
| COS as better corresponding with the
context. AS the document was printed
there was a parenthetical note, to
which Schley's initials were attached
saying that evidently the wrong city
| had been mentioned. Rayner asked
Lemly to make this concession, but
the latter declined, saying he would
produce the original of SIMPSONS dis
patch to prove he had said Santiago.
Then Rayner said: Il cannot take the
word Santiago to mean anything but
| Cienfuegos. 1t is an imputation
upon Schley and | cannot permit it to
rest without summoning the author IF
That dispatch, to which Lemly respond
ed: Il have told you once before you
can summon any one you please"
Then retorted Rayner, summon
Admiral Sampson"
This occurred only short time be-
fore 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. Rayner would only say re
would insist upon the admiral being
summoned unless the correction were

New York Oct. 5.-With victor
ious flags flowing from her lowering
