END Is In SIGHT.
Very Little More Evidence to BE
Heard In Schley Case.


Washington, Nov. 1.-THE hands of the
elongated timepiece which stands against
the wall in the hall occupied by the Schley
court of inquiry pointed to n:45 o'clock
Friday when Judge Advocate Lemiy an
nounced that he had no more witnesses
to call, and Mr.. Rayner, following him, said
that no witnesses would be summoned on
behalf of Admiral Schley in surrebuttal.
For a moment It appeared as II the now Ia
nous case was about to reach sudden
conclusion. But this delusion was soon
dissipated by the announcement on the
part of Capt. Lemly that he might ask to
be allowed to bring in one more witness
on Monday and also a statement from Mr..
Rayner that Admiral Schley himself would
desire to return to the stand on Monday
to correct errors in his evidence, as official
ly reported.
Both witnesses called for Friday were
summoned by the department and were
Lieut.. John Hood, who commanded the
dispatch boat Hawk during the Cuban cam
paign and Sylvester Scovil, who was
newspaper correspondent in Cuba during
the Spanish war. Lieut.. Hood was sum-
moned for the purpose of relating his ver-
sion OF his interview with Admiral Schley
or Cienfuegos. and Mr.. Scovil was called
to answer questions concerning the morn
ing which Capt. Sigsbee, of the st. Paul.
Is said to have megaphoned to the press
boat Somers N. Smith, on May Is. Pho
tographer Hare testified that at that time
Capt. Sigsbee stated that the Spanish fleet
was not In the harbor of Santiago and
gave Scovirs name as one of the corre-
spondents on board the press boat with
himself at that time. Mr.. Scovill was not
willing to swear that Hare's statement was
false, but was ready to say that no such
conversation took place in his hearing.

FACES JUDGE LEMLY.
Admiral Schley Under Severe Cross
Examination.
II Closely Questioned ON All His
Actions from Time of Joining
sampson's Squadron TIL
After the Battle.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The cross-exam-
ination OF Admiral Schley was continued
throughout the session Of the court OF
inquiry Tuesday. The progress made was
exceedingly slow. Practically the whole
day was consumed In questioning the ad-
miral about the cruise from Cienfuegos to
Santiago and the motives and influences
that governed him In turning back after
his squadron had arrived In the vicinity OF
the latter port. This latter branch OF the
cross-examination had not been concluded
when the court adjourned. The blockade
at Santiago, the reconnaissance on May 81
and the battle of July . stili remain to be
covered.
The Judge advocate in conducting tho
cross-examiEation used a carefully pre-
pared typewriter list OF questions. They
called for comparison Of statements Ad-
miral Schley has made either In his direct
testimony. in his communication to the
senate or in his dispatches to Admiral
Sampson or the navy department.; with the
testimony of witnesses who have preceded
him and the logs and signal books OF the
other vessels Of the feet.
The main points to which the cross-ex-
animation was directed were the ability
Of the ships to coal or Cienfuegos and the
reasons for what Is known as the retro
grade movement" The latter point was
dwelt upon with much emphasis and detail
and had not been disposed of fully when the
court adjourned. The admiral gave three
reasons for turning back: First. the state
ment Of Capt. Sigsbee. who commanded the
scoutship st. Paul. that the enemy was not
in Santiago; second. the opinion Of Nunez.
the pilot. that the entrance was too narrow
and shallow for the Spanish ships to en-
ter. and. third. the ambiguity Of the de-
partment's telegram. In the course OF the
cross-examination the admiral said he re-
garded the departments dispatch rather as
a suggestion than as an explicit order,
suggestion which he carried out after the
sea had abated and the coal supply Of the
ships had been replenished.

ish government is already preparing
to resist the anticipated demand of
the United States for repayment of
the ransom necessary to secure the
release of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the
abducted American missionary. The

the kidnapping of Miss Stone and main
tains that the United States has no

the severe master on whose account he
travelled the country, and probably in
the darkness really. installing the Of
fender. unluckily accused William Ford
of the overthrow; which accusation, al
though the assertion was instantly and
humbly retracted on Williams denial, so
aroused the English blood of the father,
complete John Bull, that he was raw
ing, till black in the face, against cheats
and foreigners, and threatening the
young Italian with whipping, and the
treadmil, and justices, and stocks, when
we made our appearance, and the storm,
having nearly exhausted its fury,
gradually abated.
BY this time however, the clamOr had
attracted little crowd of lookers-on
from the house and road. amongst the
rest Mrs. Ford, and, peeping behind her
aunt, little Rachel. StefanO continued
to eXclaim in his imperfect accent, "IIe
will beat me :" and to sob and crouch and
shiver, as if actually suffering under the
impending chastisement. It was i'm
possible not to sympathize with such a
reality of distress, although we felt that
an English boy, similarly situated,
would have been TOO stout-hearted not
to restrain Its expression. "SiXpence -
and "my master will beat me-" inter-
mixed with fresh bursts of crying, were
all his answers to the various inquiries
as to the amount of his loss, with which
he was assailed; and young William
Ford, "a lad of grace" was approaching
his hand to his pocket, and my dear
companion had just drawn forth his
purse, when the good intentions of the
one we're arrested by the stern com
mands of his father, and the other was
stopped by the temperance of Rachel,
who had run back to the house, and
now darted through the group holding
out her own new siXpence-her boarded
sixpence-ard put it into Stefano's
hand
1t may be imagined that the dear
child was no loser by her generosity !;
she was loaded with caresses by every
one, which, too much excited to feel
her bashfulness, she not only endured
but returned. Her uncle, thus rebuked
by an infant, Was touched almost to
tears. He folded her in his arms,
kissed her, and blessed her; gave
Stefano half a crown for the precious
sixpence, and swore to keep it as a relic
and lesson as long as he lived.-Miss

THOSE GMAWING RATS,

Il felt as though rats were gnawing at
the coats of my stomach Three famous
men haye all left this expression on
record in their writings. They were all
sufferers from chronic indigestion or
dyspepsia. of which the horrible sensa-
ton they thus describe is symptom.
Other signs are a heaviness and distress
after eating, bad taste in the mouth,
dryness of skin, variable appetite, flatu-
lency, broken sleep, bad dreams and
nightmares, biliousness, fatigue and
WEAKNESS without labor, ETC., etc.
We work with our head and nerves
and this makes the dy spepsia of the
student, the business and professional
man, the worried man and the majority
of women. We throw food, often un-
sorted and in excess, into this weak and
unwarmed stomach and bring on acute
inflammatory dyspepsia or gastric ca
tarrh, with symptoms and results which
make life terror. Ask anybody who
has it.
The best of medicines is the new medi-
cine, Calcura Solvent, prepared by DR..
