scHLEY's SIDE OF II.
The Admiral Tells Why He Could Not
Garry Out Instructions In Secretary
Longs Dispatches.

Washington, Sept. e6.-Two new
witnesses were introduced in the
Schley court Wednesday. They were
Admiral Cotton, who, as captain, COM
manded the auxiliary cruiser Har-
vaEd, and Capt. Wise, who command
ed the auxiliary cruiser Yale during
the Spanish war. Both these ves-
sells were used as scouts and both
came up with the flying squadron of
Santiago on the 9th of May, before
the retrograde movement to Key West
was begun.
Admiral Cotton testified that he
had gone aboard Admiral Schley's
flagship, the Brooklyn, on that date
to take dispatches to him, and he
said ut first that he gave him four
or five dispatches addressed to the
commander of the squadron. He aft
erwerds modified this statement, say
ing that probably all but two Of
these dispatches were addressed to
himself admiral Cotton) but that
they contained information which he
thought should be in Admiral SchIey's
possession. One of these was a copy
of a dispatch from Admiral Sampson,
fetal records, stating that the Span
ish feet was at Santiago. He else
said that the coal could have been
taken from the Merrimac on the 27th
of May, the day on which the retro
grade movement to Key West was be-
gun for the purpose of coaling.
Capt. Wise testified that on the eth
of May he had signaled Capt. Philip,
of the Texas, his opinion that Cervera
was inside the harbor at Santiago,
but the testimony was ruled out.
During the day Admiral Schley an
nounced that he had selected Mr.. Ray
ner as his chief counsel to succeed
Judge Wilson.
Admiral Cotton said that he had
the original translations of the cipher
dispatches addressed to the Harvard.
The dispatch of May IS from Secre-
tary Long was as follows: Harvard,
St. Nicholas Mole, Hayti; Proceed
once and inform Schley, and also the
senior officer present off Santiago,
as follows; All departments inforna-
ton indicates Spanish division is still
at Santiago. The department looks
to you to ascertain facts, and that the
enemy, if therein, does not 1eave
without a decisive action"
Admiral Schley's reply to these dis
patches dated May 20, in which he
said he could not obey the orders of
the department, was then read and
Mr.. Rayner pointed out various
changes in the language of the dis
patch as printed in the Official re-
port. The following is i'll substance
the reply of Admiral Schley to SEQ
rotary Longs dispatch: at is to be
regretted that the departments or
ders cannot be obeyed.. earnestly as
we have all striven toVthat end. I
am forced to return to Key West via
Yucatan channel for coal. Can as
certain nothing concerning enemy.
Was obliged to send Eagle to Port
Antonio, Jamaica, yesterday, as she
had only 81 tons of coal on board.
Will leave ST. Paul here. Win re-
quire $500 tons of coal at Key

Louis exposition commissioners to-
gether at an early date in or
der that they may organize and
get down to business. It is under
stood that John C. Carpenter will
be chosen president of the commission
and Charles H. Luling secretary. Gov.
Stanley lately spent couple of days
in st. Louis and while there he loaded
up with suggestions which he will
submit to the commission. He be-
ieves that the commission should
begin early to interest the county
commissioners of the 105 counties in
the work of preparing for an exhibit.
by the aid of these local officials"
the governor said, 1.-The commission
would be able to collect samples of
the best of everything in each To-
cality, and from the whole an ex-
hibit could be selected with little
difficulty" 1t is likely that this years
wheat, the finest ever grown in the
state, will be saved for the exhibit.

MISERABLE LIFE ENDED.
Missouri College Professor Who Had Muir
dered His Sweetheart Committed Sui
eide When Surrounded by a Mob.

Rolla, Mo-, Sept. 25.-Surrounded
in barn but a few blocks from the
scene of his crime, Prof. j. S. Cross
well, of the state school of mines,
who Monday night murdered his
sweetheart, Miss MoIlie Powell, a
prominent young woman of this
city, sent bullet through his own
heart with the same revolver with
which he killed the girl to prevent
being lynched by an angry posse of
indignant citizens, who were ready
to attack his place of refuge. Ever
since the tragedy at the Powell home,
when a pistol shot startled the
friends that had gathered there to
celebrate with the murdered girl her
nineteenth birthday, the author of
the crime has been hiding from
large posse of citizens and college
students that ransacked every build
ing and searched every spot in the
city. CrosswelI was located in a
barn near the center of the town,
where he had been hiding probably
ever since his flight from the Powell
home. Just as the attack was to be
made the faint report of pistol was
heard inside the building and when
the pursuers broke into the building
they found the murderer prone upon
the floor. A bullet had pierced his
heart and death was instantaneous.

Adiutant General Pleased with Conditions
in the PhilipPines-Army Is In
Good Health.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Maj. Gen.
Corbin, the adjutant general of the
army, has returned from the Philip
pines. While he declined to submit
to a formal interview, he talks free
" of the condition of affairs in the
Philippines, particularly of the work
Weston and Greedy. The general is
greatly pleased with the conditions
obtaining in the archipelago and was
particularly gratifed to find the
health of the army so excellent and
to see himself evidence of the good
feeling among the officers and SOL
diers.
Gen. COrbin said that the necessity
for a regularly established mail serv-
ice between Manila and this country
is one of great Importance, not only
for the commercial interests, but for
the soldiers and officers serving in
the archipelago; for there is now no
certainty when mail will be received
from home. The practicability of es-
tablishing an efficient mail service is
illustrated by the facilities offered
by the Canadian Pacific steamers car
rying mail to the orient, where the
people of the ports in China and
Japan where the steamers touch can
determine within an hour the date
of the arrival of the next mail, and
SO strict is the penalty for failure to
deliver the mail on schedule time
that the people can depend on their
mail with the eXactness of the serv-
ice in Washington. AS it is now the
post office in Manila is reported as
being administered excellentIy, but
the receipt of the mail is very irreg-
