WASHINGTON, D. c., October 9-sn
the Schley naval court of inquiry to-day
Lieutenant L. NJ. Bristol completed his
testimony which was begun YESTERDAY
and three new witnesses were introduced.
They were: Rear-.Admiral Henry C. Tdy-
lor, who, as captain. commanded the bat
tleship Indiana during the war witl
Spain: Lieutenant-Commande T. ".
Potts. VINO was navigator OF the battle
ship Massachusetts, during that period
and Lieutenant Edward F. Leiper. wac
was on the New Orleans during the wax,
the last named being still on the stand
when the court adjourned for the day.
During Commander Potts examination
Mr.. Rayner secured permission from the
court to introduce as evidence the order
of Secretary London TO Admiral Sa;np-
son, dated April 9Th. in which nc was nd-
nlonished against the exposure of the
American vessls TO the fire OF strongly
fortified forts.
AVOID LAND BATTERIES.
The paragraph in that order which he
especially wished to have considered
reads:
THE Department does not wish the ves-
sells of your squadron to 5e exposed &c
the fire OF the batteries at Havana, San
tago, or other strongly fortified ports in
Cuba, unless the more formidable Span
ish vessels should take refuge within
thoa5 harbors. Even in this case the De-
partment would suggest that q rigid
blockade and employment of our torpe-
bobcats might accomplish the desired
object-viz: the destruction of the cne-
Iny's vessels, without subiecting unnec-
esarily our own men-of-War to the fire
Of the land batteries
This dispatch also contains the order:
1.-The Department further desires that
in the case OF war you will maintain a
strict blockade of Cuba, particularly at
the ports of Havana, Natanzas, and, if
possible, Santiago, Alanzaniiio and Cien-
fuegos.

Peaches are now cheaper than
home grown potatoes on South Wa

reached $2'a bushel today.
The unusual condition Of peaches
being cheaper than potatoes is caus.
cd principally by a partial failure Of
