holds here have noted the fact that Mrs. Long Is 8 great pedestrian and almost daily accompanies her husband as he walks to and from the Navy Department. Last year they accepted every dinner in vitation extended them under similar cir cumstances. This season, as soon as the secretary's vague response to the sugges- tions made him was received, his name and that of Mrs. Long were omitted from the dinner lists of every official hostess
 Other social leaders recall that the la mented Mrs. Gage set the initiative of this boycott last season. The Secretary of the Navy took pains to inform his col leagues that Mrs. Long would not be in Washington but that his sister would be a member of his family. Many under stood by this that the secretary wished official invitations sent to his sister. Mrs. Gage, however addressed her invitations solely to the Secretary of the Navy, and she explained to her friends that if she had a vacant seat at her table she would fill it with friend of her own instead of by a member of Secretary Longs family.

EARTHQUAKE FLOODS
COAST OF NICARAGUA

New York, Oct. 9.-Dispatches We're
received In this city yesterday from
San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, which
tell of a series of earthquakes and Il
tidal wave which did serious damage
to the town. Shocks were felt several
times in succession from 10 o'clock
Monday night There followed. II tidal
wave five feet in height which swept
through the town and flooded houses.
1t did not reccde until o'clock this
morning. 1t Is believed that the earth
quake was most severe at sea, as
shown by the tidal wave.
Advices received by the Central and
South American Telegraph Company
state that the station Of that company,
nearly n mile from the main part Of
the town, was flooded.
San Juan del Sur Is In Nicaragua,
twenty-four miles southwest of the
city of Rivas. 1t Is fifteen miles south
of Brito, the western terminus OF the
proposed Nicaragua canal. The town
liz headquarters for the shipping inter-
ests of the southwestern part Of Mic
aragua and has long been port Of call
for the Pacific mail steamers.
Few details of the earthquake are
now obtninable. Nothing has yet been
received concerning loss OF life. 1t is
believed that the damage to the town
by water has been extensive.
San Juan del Sur is practically on
the beach. The bay mt the end of
which 1t Is built is about one mile In
width at Its mouth. 1t IL thought that
the force OF the tidal wave may have
been partly broken by Its striking IL
point of land to the north. A wave
five feet higher than high tide would
necessarily sweep the town.
Managua. Nicaragua, Oct. 0.-Severe
seismic disturbances, caused by vol
canic action In the Pacific raising the
level Of the ocean. occurred at o o'clock
last night. The Pacific coast OF Near
aqua was flooded to n depth OF eight
feet and much damage was done.

Washington, Oct. a. Lieutenant
Commander Hosigson was examined
In regard to the part the Brooklyn TOOK
In the hattie of Santiago, continuing
HIS description OF the naval battle OF
July Bird from the point where he had
dropped that description Mt Captain
Lemly's request while lie was on the
stand Friday.
In this connection he said: 1.-The
Brooklyn did all she could. She got
into action just rs quick as steam
could carry her there. We commenced
firing as soon as the first gun on the
port bow would bear and we kept the
port battery firing until she turned
with port helm through the arc. using
the aft guns until we got all the star
board guns to bear"
The witness gave a detailed account
of the part taken by the Brooklyn In
the engagement. In reply to questions.
he said that at the beginning of the
fight he had given the range at 1.4OO
yards. but that after the loop 1t was
about 2,4O0 to $500 yards.
Mr.. Rayner: what was the bearing
of Commodore Schley during this en-
gagement, or any engagement In
which you saw him?'
Ills DeuTluS dHu IllhHHeE, WIN le-
spect to an officer Of his rank and sta
tion In the naval service, were nat
urally those OF commander-in-chief
of a naval force on that occasion"
The witness said thnt the commo-
dore had occupied a place on plat
form around the coming tower during
the engagement. This, he said, was a
position of danger. us the commodore
was there always in full view Of the
enemy's ships.
ut has been stated here" said Mr..
Rayner, that the Brooklyn ran 1000
yards away from the enemy's ships in
making her loop"
The witness replied: ANY witness
who made that statement. although he
may have stated what he thought had
occurred. was absolutely mistaken"
How far did she 80 from the enc
my's vessels?"
''She must have gone about GOO
yards to the southwark. as that is
about the tactical diameter OF the
Brooklyn Mt that speed"
Did this turn interfere with the
BrOoklyn's ability to keep up her
fire."
''It did not: she continued to fire
from her Mt turret.'
At this point Mr.. Rayner questioned

C(MMANDER HODGSON TELLS
WHAT SCHLEY REALLY DID

the witness Mt length concerning ms
reported colloQuy with Admiral schiey
during the battle on Santiago. IN
which the commodore was reported TO
have said: Damn the Texas"
Witness said that when his conversa-
ton with Commodore Schley had oc-
CURED on the Brooklyn. the commo-
dore was standing on the PLATFORM
around the coming tower ana TWO or
three feet from himself (the witness)
and that Captain Cook, part OF the
time, stood in the door OF the coming
tower, four or five feet distant
He said Captain Cook had taken
part In the conversation.
Mr. Rayner then questioned the wit
ness very closely in regard to the IAN
guage in which this coiloquy was re-
ported by the newspapers ana the IAN
guage used by Mr.. Hodgson In his cor
respondence with Admiral Schley. he
read the newspaper version OF Com
mander HOdgsons statement OF the
colloquy us follows:
"Schley: Hard aport.'
"Hodgson: .You mean starboard.'
"Schiey: NO, | don't We are near
enough to them tthe Spaniards) al
ready
hOuKSOu: but We VIII wv NS"AA
the Texas
"Schley: Damn the Texas; let her
look out for herself
Mr.. Rayner then had the witness
scrutinize the letter which he had
written to Admiral Schley June Sth
and drew from him the statement
that he had not then informed the ad-
miral that lie had used the expression.
Damn the Texas When the wit
ness was asked if he thought that
there was any suggestion of such an
expression, he replied: when l sug-
gested to Commodore Schley that
there was danger Of colliding with the
Texas he said: Damn the Texas. He
used the expression as not in any way
cOndemning the Texas for being there.
but as II he We're irritated us one
might he about anything"
Mr.. Kayner asked then about the ex-
preston attributed to the witness:
"She Will cut down the Texas Com
mander Hodgson replied that there
was no such expression In the letter
and that he never had said that the
Brooklyn would cut down the Texas.
There Is good deal in that reported
colloquy that did not say" he added.
The statement was never made" he
went on. but the commodore did say
Damn the Texas.

In many OF the western and midland
counties Of England the nineteenth
century closed with the most terrible
foods within living memory. Happily
few lives were lost. but hundreds Of
tolk-mostly poor-were washed out Of
hearth and home. Farmers. small and
great. lost cattle. sheep and poultry.
and Immense damage was done to all
kinds Of property. One comic incident
WAS remarked at Alcester In Worces-
tershire. When the water fell the rec
tor took his walks abroad to see what
1oss he had suffered. As he passed
through an orchard he was greeted
with the piercing squeals Of per-
picked pig. which had got mixed up in
the boughs OF damson tree. Probably
It had been borne into the branches by
the rising hood. When the waters
went down It was left high, and pos
