Judge Raynor made an extended argu-
ment, quoting many legal authorities
against the admissibi1ity Of opinions on
the part of witnesses. He contended that
If testimony giving opinions should be ad-
mitted the inquiry would be interminable.
II, for instance, opinions were to be taken

the Brooklyn, practically the entire navy
could be summoned, as all its members
were experts and each would have his
opinion. Witnesses were expected to re-

arguing that it was entirely within the
discretion of the court to decide whether
the opinion of witness who had been on
the ground should be called for by the
court. He thought, however, that "the
weight of authority was against asking
the opinion of a witness.
The court then withdrew it's question as
to Admiral Higginson's opinion.
Another question put by the court was
as to the distance the squadron lay out

was three or four miles out during the

Captain Chester Called.

Captain c. N. Chester, who commanded
the Cincinnati during the Spanish war and
now in command of the naval war college
at Newport, was called. He related an
interview he had had with Admiral Schley
on board the Brooklyn off the southern
coast Of Cuba on May 20, 1898. He had
told the admiral that from his examina-
tion of the charts he believed coaling
feasible, but he thought it would be done
under great disadvantage. He had ex-
pressed the opinion that boats might be
used or that a more secure point might be
gained thirty miles to eastward.
Major Thomas N. Wood of the Marine
corps, who commanded the marine force
on the Massachusetts during the war, tes-
titled to the circumstances connected with
that vessels operations during the siege
of Santiago. The second day after San
tiago bay was reached by the flying
squadron he had seen the Colon lying in
side the harbor. Another Spanish YES
sci of the Vizcaya class was partly visible.
He thought both wer in view for three or
four days. The witness also said that
when Admiral Schley had come aboard the
Massachusetts previous to the lombard
ment Of the Colon on May 81 he had heard
that officer say to Captain Higginson:
"We are going in, but we will not 60 in
sufficiently near to endanger the vessels. Z"
be 10000 feet.
'Lets Get Out of This"
After the bombardment ceased, Major
Woods said, the Spanish shore batteries
continued to fire at the American ships.
At this point he had gone forward where
he had again seen Commodore Schley.
did you then hear any orders or in
structions ?" he was asked.
Il then heard someone say, and I be-
lieve from the sound of the voice that it
was Commodore Schley: 'Starboard your
helm and let's get out of this" answered
the witness. This had occurred on the
port side of the coming tower, he said
and the commodore had been about eight
feet from him.
Captain Giles p Harbor now naval at
tache at Paris and St. Petersburg, who was
executive officer on board the Texas dur
ing the Spanish war, was asked, in the
absence of Captain Phillip, to give a de-
tailed account of the operations of that
vessel during the war, and he did so. The
Texas had been a part of the flying
squadron Sand the witnesses said that
when they steamed for Cienfuegos the
flagship had signalled: 1--WE go to Glen
good luck" In reply to questions he said
that when Cienfuegos was reached earth
works were discovered there, but no effort
was made to destroy them.
Captain Harber was questioned as to
orders concerning plans of battle, but he
said that notwithstanding he would have
taken command in case of the incapacity
of Captain Philip he received no direc-
'tions from the ommander-in- chief He
had ehard of no plans in case theaenemy
had been engaged.

lSteripg his calm plans OF government
for the next three years-all this is hard
to understand. Only in the little hap
penings from day to day is the change
making itself felt.
There has been much
CROWNIN- speculation as to the eff
feet of the succession of
SHIELD AND Roosevelt on one Crown
inshield, admiral and
GEN. WOOD. chief Of the bureau Of
navigation. 1t may be
said in the first place that removals from
these assignments are sometimes, but not
often, made. If the new president should
intimate to Crowninshield through the
secretary of the navy that his resignation
would be acceptable, it would, no doubt,
be promptly forthcoming Officers of the
stan are appointed for a period of years,
and Crowninshield has still four years be-
fore his commission expires. 1t is with
the bureau Of navigation that the assistant
secretary of the navy always has friction.
Roosevelt had some unpleasantnesses
when he occupied the latter position. He
may remember them. But 1t is urged that
Commander Cowles, who is part OF the
bureau, is husband of the presidents sis
ter So there is the situation. One guess
Is as good as another.
General Leonard Wood, governor general
of Cuba, will be more or less prominent
figure in the administration which has just
begun, and his name is already being
handed about as a possible member of the
new cabinet. Wood was with Roosevelt
in the Cuban campaign and was closely
identified with him in the Spanish -Ameri-
can war. He helped to raise the cowboy
regiment, and the two are said to be very
cordial friends. Wood is expected to
spend several days in Washington this
week.
WELLINGTON Senator Wellington of
Maryland has written
AND long letter to DR.. w. A.
Croffut of this city, for
PYTHIANS. merly a prominent resi-
dent Of Minneapolis, de-
nying the truth of the published reports
that he had failed to express his horror
at the assassination of President McKin-
ley. The senator is not speaking too soon.
He Is a member of the Knights of
Pythias, and several lodges of that or
der in Maryland passed resolutions ad-
dressed to the grand lodge calling for his
expulsion. Mckinley was also Pythian.
Members of the senate and house who
have been in the city this week are very
outspoken in condemnation of Wellington,
and unless he shall make public denial
from the floor of the senate it is likely
that he will be stunned by all his asso-
ciates and made to feel the full force of
their disapproval by social as we'll as Off
cial ostracism.

Special to The Leader.
Homer, o., June 17.-There has been
all Kinds of eXcitiment about 3B miles
southeast of this place. A big gas well
belonging to the Columbus company
is spouting fire and smoke, and many
timld people living in the country
near the well have been telephCping
here that the earth is afire
Sunday afternoon Il terrific thunder
storm arose and one Of the sharp blows
of lightning ran down the big derrick
and set the gas afire. The derrick
was consumed in short time and now
a sheet of flame is roaring from the
ground, making a noise that can be
heard for miles. People living back
from the gas district became greatly
alarmed, and until men from the COM
pany could get out among them to
tell them there was no danger, they
imagined that the very earth itself
was blazing.
1t will take some time to smother
this fire, as the pressure at the sur
face is terrific and all the Joints and
valves have been blown away. The
well will have to be smothered in or
der to eXtinguish the fire, and in the
meantime many a dollars worth OF
heating power is going skyward.
