SCHLEY WILL NOT TALK.
In Washington on Business Connected
 With Inquiry.


 Washington, Aug 16-Admiral Win field $. Schley arrived in the city from his home in New York last night on business in connection with the com ing court of inquiry asked by him ill regard to the Santiago campaign. He was accompanied by Mrs Schiey. The admiral did not register at his hotel, and it was not generally known that he was in the city. He remained in his room during most of the evening. He smilingly declined to make any statement bearing upon the work soon to be begun by the court During his stay here the admiral will consult with the Hon Jere Wilson and his other at- torneys as to the conduct of the case.
 It is entirely unlikely that the ses- sion of the Schley court of inquiry will be held in the navy department. It was at first thought the sessions could be held in the large reception room adjoining the office of Secretary ! Long. but later the officials came to the conclusion that the room lacked many of the convenienceS necessary for such court.
 There is no adjoining room into which the court could retire for exc cutiye sessions, and if the sessions were held there the public would have no opportunity of witnessing the proceed ings owing to the limited space. Many newspapers which desire to be repre- scented would be barred for the same reason.
 For some time the department has been looking for quarters elsewhere and is considering the advisability of having the court sit in one of the large new buildings in the Washington navy | yard.

SOUTHERN STORM
Late Reports Say Water is Re-
 ceding in Many Places.
SIX LIVES LOST IN ONE PLACE

Schooner and Small Boat Wrecked Mobile Only Accessible By an Unre- liable Wire-The Reported Loss of the Golden Family Has Not Been Confirmed.
 New Orleans, La, Aug 16.-Both the Mississippi river and Lake Pontcha- train are falling rapidly and the storm practically subsided. The water has rapidly receded from the section of the city overhowed yesterday. Large bodies of men are repairing the damage done at the various lake
 resorts, which bore the brunt of the storm.
 Little news has come thus far from the Mississippi sound, but there has
 been no loss of life in that territory. The Louisville and Nashville railroad is still badly crippled. No trains have come in or gone out over the line since | the night before last. The subsistence | of water, however, makes it probable 1 that the damage to the tracks will be quickly repaired and that traffic will
 be resumed by night
 A large number of cotton and other 1 business men are still bottled up on the coast and unable to get to their 1 offices. The Northeastern road has had some trouble, but the Illinois Gen. | tral has aided both the Louisville and Nashville and Northeastern in handling | their passenger traffic. | The Cromwell liner Comus reached | the city to-day. She had no trouble ill 1 the storm and reported no vessels in | distress.
 Dr J. N. Thomas of the quarantine | station boarded the Comus near the mouth of the river and told Captain | Franklin that an unknown schooner and a small boat had been wrecked in that vicinity and six lives lost. No serious damage was done at quaran- l tine station.
 A report from below says that the
 tug Biloxi of Slidell and two barges went ashore and that the fate of those
 on board is not known. Reports of the loss of the Golden | family of fifteen, above the quarantine station, have not been confirmed l At Shell Beach the wind has ceased but the water is rising rapidly and l there has been considerable damage to crops.
 Rice has been damaged considerably | down the river.
