CALL PHILIPPINES
M'KINLEY ISLANDS

New York. Sept. SO.-A suggestion
which is meeting with favor is to
change the name OF the Philippine is
lands to the Mckinley islands, says the
Washington correspondent of the Trib-
une. 1t is intended to bring the prop
osition before the next congress.
A part of the scheno embraces the
idea of bestOwing upon the different
islands and provinces the names of the
men most prominently identified with
the acquisition and management Of the
islaT DIS. For instance, the members of
the American commission which negO-
tiated the Paris treaty would thus be
hOnOred. as well as the names of Ad-
miral Dewey, General LawtOn, Gov
ernOr Taft, General Otis, Secretary
Root and others.

by the American Fleet

Washington, Sept SO.-Rear Admiral
Evans. who as captain commanded the
battleship Iowa during the Santiago

Schley court of inquiry today. His
testimony covered the period from the
time the Iowa left the port of Key
West on the 2otn of May, 1898. until
the 5th of July. when Admiral Evans
testified he had a conversation with
Admiral SchIey concerning the battle
of the 3rd. He described in detail the
principal battle of Santiago and gave
particulars concerning the lombard
ment of the Colon on May 81.
Other witnesses of the day were Cap
tain Theodore F. Jewell who was COM
mander of the cruiser Minneapolis dur
ing the Spanish war. and Commander
James o. Miller. who was in command
of the collier Merrimac until that Ves
sci was turned over to Lieutenant Hob
son to be sunk in the mouth of the
harbor of Santiago. Admiral Evans
had not concluded his testimony when
the court adjourned until tomorrow.
Captain Lemly and Mr.. Hanna were
engaged from the early morning in pre-
pairing the programme for the day.
There is much in the way of detail to
be done each morning. and they have
fallen into the habit of coming direct
TO the court building, where they have
their list of witnesses. files of dOcu-
ments, printed matter and everything
else bearing upon the case. They be-
gan the days proceedings according TO
custom by recalling the witnesses Of
previous days.
While Commander Switzerland was
on the stand he was asked by the court
whether, if the fleet of Cervera had
been in the harbOr at Cienfuegos. it
could have been seen by the vessels
oloekading the port. He replied
L cannot definitely say. Not unless

lie first new witness of the day was
COMMANDER James NJ. Miller, who was
in command of the collier Merrimac
while that vessel was a part of Ad-
miral Schley's flying squadron. Com
mander Miller said that he had as
sumed command of the Merrimac on
april II at Norfolk. He had taken 81
board at Lamberts Point soon after
ward about fifty tons of coal His
vessel had, he said, been capable at
llTst OF making between nine and ten
Knots, but afterward he had trouble
with his machinery, so that by May q
ana "a he would have hesftated in try
ing to secure a speed OF more than
seven knots. He read from the COL
lier's log to show that the Iowa, the
Massachusetts and the Castine had
been coaled on the 23rd and oath. No
! record was found of the coaling of any
vessel on the 25th or tho 26th, the

He also said that the weather for that
day was bad.
The witness said that late in the
afternoon of May % the intermediate
valve of the collier was broken, but
that previous TO the arrival off San

dltion of the 18th, the witness said:

were making ten knots. At one time
we got up to twelve knots. l fancy the
weather could not have been very bOis-
ferrous I read from the log seven

one entry here that we got up to eleven

we stopped ct $50 that afternoon -
Asked if the vessels could have been
coaled while the MeTrimac was in tow
of the Yale. the witness replied that
that was supposititiOus question, and
that he would not like to say. As a
matter of fact, she did not coal any
vessel while in tow On all DAYS from
May % to May 81, except on the days
when en- route from CienfuegOs TO
Santiago, and when disa bled. the Mer-
rimac had had vessels alongside for the
purpose of cOaling. and they had been
coaled from the collier.
on cross-eXamination Mr.. Raynor
questioned Commander Miller con-
corning coaling from the Merrimac on
the 24th- he said the Massachusetts
had been coaled at 40 in the morning
Of that day. He was then examined
concerning signals as 10 coaling the
Texas. While these questions were
being put Captain Miller said, laugh
ingly: GO ahead; you've got NE there

4HE ENQUIRER reproduces today
from the Manufacturers Record, an
able article showing the advantages
that cotton farmers might secure
through intelligent cooperation. The
article may be read and studied with
profit. The idea suggested is full Of
great possibilities and could be carried
out with great advantage in this Sec
ton. AS matter of fact we are drift
ing in that very direction. Many indi-
viduals are already working along this
line with more or less success. If the
co-operative plan shall be adopted,
the principal difficulty will be found in
securing proper and efficient manage
ment. There are men in this section
who are capable of carrying such an
enterprise to success; but they are rare.
Incompetent management can easily
ruin all the stockholders in a short
time; but one successful undertaking
will be rapidly followed by others.
