Although Hunting for Hawkins" is
strictly comedy, it is of the polite sort.
The characters are not burlesqued-they
are acted naturally and true to life and
their humor is drawn out by legitimate
methods. "Horseplay" is not laughable
it is disgusting.
Those who appreciate clean, refined
comedy will be especially pleased with
Hunting for Hawkins" 1t is absolutely
free from vulgarity and everything of
coarse or offensive nature. 1t is amusing
without being ridiculous or improper.
The performance of Hunting for
Hawkins" embraces the most pleasing
features of nearly every form of theat.
rical entertainment and it will therefore
prove enjoyable to the admirers of any
special class.

News of the probable loss of the West
ern Transit steamer Hudson, with a
crew of rs men, on Lake Superior last
Monday, was brought by the steamer
Nicol, which reached here from Du.

the report of Captain Mclean of the

passed the steamer Sunday night.
Monday morning the Nicol came up
to the Hudson again about eight miles
west of Eagle River. The Hudson
was in a bad way, with decks awash
in a furious gale and pumps hard
working. Captain Mclean said he
had all he could do to save his vessel
and could not render assistance. When
he arrived in port he supposed the
steamer Gilchrist had rescued the
Hudsons crew. When he heard such
was not the case he said there was no

THE SCiILEY INQUIRY
NAVAL COURT AGAIN IN SESSION
At THE NATIONAL
CAPITAL.
Testimony Taken ls Not Favorable to
the Admiral-The Hombardment Of
the Colon and the Possibility Of
coaling on the High Seas Gone Over.
Question Put by the Court Itself 10
Afterwards withdrawn.
Afterwards withdrawn.

Washington, Sept. 20.-The Schley
court of inquiry reconvened during
the day and before adjournment had
examined four witnesses. The most
important incident of the day was the
decision of the court withdrawing a
question put by the court itself ask.
ing witness to give his opinion con.
cerning point under controversy.
The witness was Rear Admiral Hig-
ginson, who participated in the San
tiago campaign as captain of the bat
tleship Massachusetts,.
Admiral Higginson told of joining
the flying squadron with his battle
ship, the Massachusetts, at Newport
News, of going, to Key West, and then
on the 22d Of May. of going to Glen
fuegos, Cuba. Key West had been left
on May 10, 1898, and Cienfuegos
reached on the 22d. When asked what
was done to secure communication
with the Cuban forces on shore he re-.
piled to his knowledge that nothing
was done. In regard to the coaling
incident he said he did not regard it
impossible to coal then, though it
might have been difficult.
When Santiago was again reached,
Admiral Higginson said, they saw the
Spanish ship Colon lying in the outer
harbor. The vessel had lain there un-
til she was fired on, which was done
May 81, when she retired. In describ.
ing the engagement he said the shots
fell short Of the Colon and that the
Spanish shore batteries had in turn
fred at the bombarding ships. The
admiral said he thought the Colon
could have been destroyed where she
lay at anchor, but they were not or
dered to do so.
Questions by the Court.
The court asked the witness If there
was any place Of shelter near San
tiago where the squadron could have
coaled.E Admiral Higginson replied
that Guantanamo was only 40 miles
to the east.
The next question of the court Gre
ated something of sensation. The
witness was asked II every effort was
made by Admiral Schley to capture
or destroy the Colon as she lay at
anchor in Santiago harbor between
May 27 and 81. Each of Schley's
counsel objected, but before halt
could be called the witness replied,
mo, don't think there was" The
question was afterwards Withdrawn
by the court. Admiral Higginson was
then excused.
Captain Chester's testimony related
to coaling of the coast of Cuba and
occupied but few minutes. He be.
lieved it could be done, but under
great disadvantages.
Major Wood testified regarding the
attack on the Colon on May 81 and
said Admiral Schley ordered the bonn.
bardment to cease when fire from the
land batteries became rather hot.
Captain Harber gave detailed ac-
count of the Texas movement with
the flying squadron He was ques.
toned as to orders concerning plans
of battle, but he said that he had
heard Of no plans in case the enemy
should be engaged. In reply to q
question he said he believed coaling
could have been accomplished off San.
