Washington, Oct. Mondays pro
ceedings in the Schley court Of inquiry
were begun as usual by recalling previous
witnesses for corrections in their testi-
mony. Captain Lemly's program provided
that these should be followed by Com.
mander Miller, who commanded the col
lier Merrimac in the early part of the
Santiago campaign; Captain Jewell, who
commanded the scout Minneapolis; Lieu
tenant Commander Sharpe, who had
charge Of the much talked Of Vixen, and
Lieutenant Donolee of the Brooklyn. II
was also contemplated to call at very
early period Rear Admiral Evans, who
was captain Of the Iowa. Much interest
was manifested in the probable appear
ance Of the rear admiral, and also in the
prospect of seeing Captain Miller. who, il
will be remembered, surrendered with
great reluctance the command of the Mer.
rimac to Lieutenant Hobson, who after
ward sunk the collier in the mouth Of
Santiago harbor.
While Commander Switzerland was on
the stand he was asked by the court
whether, if the feet of Cervera had been
in the harbor at Cienfuegos, it could have
been seen by the vessels blockading the
port. He said:
Il can not definitely say. Not unless
they had anchored in the lower harbor
just inside of the entrance to deep water
where the schooner to which referred
before was anchored. do not believe
they would have anchored in that spot. y
The first new witness of the day was
Commander James M. Miller, who was in
command Of the collier Merrimac while
that vessel was a part of Admiral Schley's
flying squadron.

Trouble at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Sept. ga collision has
occurred between special policemen and
strike svmpathizers on Kesrney street be-
tween Geary and Post. About 80 shots
were exchanged. A special policeman
named Billher was shot in the leg. Bow
en-, carpenter. was shot through the eye.
Two other strikers were wounded, one in
the body and the other in the leg. Five
special policeman came out of the ITALIA
theater about o'clock and walked down
Market street. A crowd of about so strike
sympathizers followed them to Kearney
street. The specials were warned they
were being followed and stopped on
reaching Kearney street in order to allow
their followers to come up to them. When
they approached close the shooting be-
gan with the above result. The police
fastened to the scene and began making
arrests. Two or three patrol wagons
were soon filed and driven to the station.
A later report says that eight men were
wounded.
Even the most sangline of the employ
ers do not look for termination OF the
present strike by the surrender of the
labor unions, although they believe that
the struggle must ultimately end in the
return of the men as individuals to work.
They believe that they already see many
signs Of disintepration in the ranks of the
strikers, and the opinion is freely ex-
pressed that if it were not for the fear
Of violence large proportion Of the men
would apply at once for their old posi-
tions. A party of II nonnnion metal
workers arrived from the east. The men

New Mica raxuan Treaty.

London, Sept. 3O.-Correspondence re-
garding the Nicaraguan canal treaty has
ceased, the treaty being in form for sig
nature. The only authoritative informa-
ito nobtainable about it here is that it is
considerably better for the United States
than the preceding one. The utmost re-
serve exists respecting the neutrality
clause. In other respects the treaty fol-
lows the general lines of the old one.
