account of the battle OF July 3, he was In
terrogated by Mr. Rayner, with a view OF
bringing out more clearly testimony from
the admiral In regard to disputed points in
the controversy. Among other disputes
OF this character concerning which he was
questioned were those relating TO his In

Calais testimony TO the effect that he CMc-
Calla) had been the originator Of the re-
mark that there was glory enough in the
battle for all. Admiral Schley said that he

Preceding the adjournment Of the court
the question of calling Admiral Sampson to

Lemly, who reminded Mr.. RayEer that he
CMr. Rayner) had suggested some time ago
That he desired the admiral called. Cant
Lemly said he was prepared to issue the
summons If called upon TO co so, but Mr.

WRECKED THE SAFE.
Burglars Loot Hardware Store at
Berea, o.

Berea, O., Oct. 2s.--One of the bold
est safe robberies ever perpetrated
in this vicinity occurred early Satur-
day morning in almost the heart of
the village. The hardware store of
Lawrence q Brightman was entered,
the large safe was wrecked and the
robbers made good their escape, car
rying with them booty aggregating in
value more than 100000. Baldwin
university bears the heaviest loss. c.
C. Brightman, junior member of the
firm, is also the treasurer and trus-
tee of Baldwin university, and all of
the valuable papers of the institution
were kept in the safe. Bonds, deeds,
notes and mortgages Of the university,
aggregating 100000 in value, were Sc
cured by the robbers. Many of the
notes held by Baldwin university were
of long standing and bore numerous
Endorsements, making it impossible
to produce them in duplicate. A dill
gent search for the thieves has been
instituted, but as yet no clew as to
their whereabouts or identity has been
established. The force of the cxplo-
sion was most terrific. The safe was
constructed on fire and burglar-proof
principles. yet the heavy doors were
twisted from their hinges as if made
of paper, and large pieces of the safe
doors were firmly imbedded in the
walls of the building, one section
weighing so pounds being blown
through a partition into an adjoining
room. Six men are believed to have
been engaged in the affair.

Negotiations for Ransom of Miss
Stone Progressing.

Constantinople, Oct. 2s.-Negotia-
tons with the brigands from Melnik,
in the province of Salonica, for the re-
lease of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the
American missionary, and her com
panion, Nine. Tsilka, are progressing
satisfactorily and the officials here
hourly anticipate important develop
ments.
Says Both Are Alive.
Constantiuople, Oct. 2S.-Miss Stone
and her companion were alive and
well five days ago. Consequently the
reported death of Nine. Tsilka is I'M
true. This news comes through a
sure channel, which is kept secret be-
cause it is the one through which the
negotiations with the brigands are
conducted.

Little Can BE Learned.
Cons tantinople, Oct. 28.-During the
last few days there has been a volumi-
nous exchange of dispatches in cipher
between Spencer Eddy, secretary of
the United States legation, and Consul
General Dickinson, who is now in Sofia,
regarding the efforts to rescue Miss
Stone, the abducted American mis-
sionary, from the brigands. The lega-
tion is reticent and nothing has been
made public as to the progress of the
negotiations.
No Word at state Department.
Washington, Oct. 2S.-The state de-
partment has not heard of the re-
ported opening of communication be-
tween the missionary agents in Tur-
key and the brigands who kidnapped
Miss Stone. In fact there has been
no word from Mr.. Eddy or Consul
General Dickinson since Friday morn
ing when their messages were of a
negative character, so far as news is
concerned. Nevertheless the depart
ment is satisfied from the reports
are acting with energy combined with
prudence. Especially does it credit
Mr.. Eddy with a display of zeal in the
effort to relieve the condition of the
unfortunate captive.

naming three members are said to
have been made cuStodians of the pris-
oners, and it is claimed that they are
holding them in the wooded recesses of

about 20 miles into the mountains
from the Bulgarian frontier. Another
version of the situation is that, be-
cause of the early and heavy fall Of

from the mountains and are now To-

The brooklyn II Mark

THE roar of our projectiles," he said,
was such as can only be heard once, and
once heard can never be forgotten. All
four of the Spanish vessels were firing on
the Brooklyn and none of the Spanish YES
sells at that time showed any injury. Then
the thought passed through my mind that
they might get away, and l feared we
should have most of the fight, as l had not
thought up to that time that the battle
ships would be effective In chase. l said
to Cook that we would stay with this
crew." -|..
Telling OF the coming up Of the Oregon
during the chase, Admiral schley said he
had never before realized that such rapid
fire was possible as was emitted from these
two vessels. Both looked TO him, he said,
like sheets of flame.
When the Maria Teresa went ashore the
admiral said he had Instructed Capt. Cook
to notify the men below and TO keep them
informed Of the progress of events. "They
can't see what is being DONE" he said TO
Cook, "and they want to know" The cap
tain had obeyed this injunction and the
messages were received with cheers from

After brief depression the admiral re-
turned to the reconnaissance Of May 81.
That some Of the younger officers who tes-
tified regarding that occurrence were mis-
taken, he said, was proven by the fact
that there was to-day on the deck OF the
indiana a plate showing where an eight
inch shell from the land fortifications en-
tered July and wrecked her ward room.
The officers referred to had testified that
there,were no guns of over six inches in the
Santiago land batteries, The admiral said
the shell which wrecked the ward room
Of the Indiana might possibly have been
fired from mortar, of which there were
several but that the range Of the batteries
was beyond the ships as they went In for
the reconnaissance was evident not from
the fact that there were one or two shells
which went over the American ships.
There were, he said, many more, perhaps
20. "In fact" said he ut was very lively
for a few minutes.

The Judges Comment

cit is an unfortunate condition Of at
fairs" said Judge Mills, that these places
so near the District line should be permit
ted to continue as a trap to demoralize the
youth Of both sexes Of this community. It
is unfortunate that the court and the police
cannot get at the prime cause of the evil
and that the victims have to suffer. This
condition Of affairs has become such q
burning shame and stencil in the nostrils Of
the people Of this community that the court
is compelled to deal with the victims In q
manner that is calculated to do some
good"
Heretofore in similar cases the penalty
has been but $40, the judge said, but he
would make it S2o in this instance.
The fine was paid.
