and Captain Sigsbee took the dis
patch?"
Yes. sir. It was open. 1t detailed
the fact that the fleet was not there
do you remember the reconnois-
sance of May 31st?"
ssYes. sir; l was aboard the Massa-
chusetts.
Were you present at any converse
ton between Commodore Schley and
Captain Higginson, in the pilot house
of the Massachusetts,?
ION the Brooklyn l had heard that
they were going in to lombard, and
that the flag would be transferred to
the Massachusetts,. / asked permission
to go aboard the Massachusetts with
the Commodore. He had just given
permission to Mr.. McCauley to go, and
turning to me, he said:
Z do not think you had better go.
/ think you can see it better from the
Brooklyn
'She was then coalng. He further
said that they did not intend to do any
thing except find out what the batteries
consisted of. / kept urging him to let
me go, and he finally consented"
Now tell me regarding the CONVEX
sation between Commodore Schley and
Captain Higginson
There was some discussion about
what the Spanish feet had brought
with them. A report was current that
they had brought arms and ammuni-
tion for the defense of Havana, and
there also was a discussion as to
whether they had had time to mount
them or whether from any ships in the
harbor prior to the arrival of the fleet
they had taken any large guns and
mounted them. The two officers
smoked their cigars and chatted over
it. Commodore Schley said his idea
was to go in about 1000 or 1900 yards
and fire, simply to draw their fire. So
far as l remember, Captain Higginson
acquiesced in that. Later Mr.. Potts
came in
Were you in the presence of Com
modore Sehley during the whole of this
reconnaissance on the Massachusetts?
only part of the time. At times I
was behind the coming tower and he
was on the other side of it"
did you see Lieut.. Potts on board
the Massachusetts?
He came into the pilot house during
the conversation and took some part
in it."
At this point Mr.. Rayner read to the
witness a portion of the testimony
given by Mr.. Potts wherein he had re-
ferred to the conversation between
Commodore Schley and Captain Hig-
ginson as to going in for the lombard
ment. and asked, Were you present at
that conversation"
NO" answered the witness, that
conversation must have been when
they stepped outside the pilot house.
Potts was in there a short time with
U.s."
did you hear any conversation"
Only that the range was to be be-
tween 1000 and 1900 yards
THAT was the only remark you heard
made by the Comodore when Potts was
present."
Il DC no. think the Commodore made
the remark. My impression is that
Captain Higgnson made the remark.
My impression is that Captain H gg nscn
made the remark to Potts"

Hundred Year Clubs

Are becoming numerous. The idea is to promote longevity. It is interesting to note that the means through which lcng life is to be obtained is food and the stomach. Long life and good health are not possible unless the stomaali does its work properly. There is a way to make it, if it does not. Bostet- ter's Stomach Bitters is an ideal strength restorer. If you would be cured of dyspepsia, indigestion, belch- ing. constipation, incOmnia, nervous ness, bilioushess, try the Bitters. Ev- erybody should try it to help nature
 rid the blood Of all impurities. It pos sesses valuable curative properties, and
 as a specific for malaria, fever and ague
 it is unequalled. Dent fail to give it a trial, but be sure you get the genuine.

s'NERVE WAIST

One of the most hopeful books on nerve weakness ever issued is that en- titled "Nerve Waste," by Dr. Sawyer of San Francisco, now in it's fifth thOus- and. This work of an experienced and reputable physician is in agreeable con- trast to the vast sum of false teaching which prevails on this interesting sub- ject. It abounds in carefully consider. ed and practical advice, and has the two great merits of wisdom and sheer fly.
 It is indorsed by both the religious and secular press. The Chicago Advance says: "A perusal of the book and the application of it's principles will put health, hope and heart into thousands of lives that are now suffering through nervous impairment"
 The book is S1.C0, by mail, postpaid

John NJ. Speese and Harry H. Mc- Phaul with number of Indians left Tuesday for the headgate of the Rock land Canal Company. where the In- dians will be set at work cutting brush and clearing the right-of-way of the canal. The headgate of this company $ canal is located on the Colorado river 20 miles from Yuma, and is said to be one of the best locations for a headgate on the Colorado river, it being in a solid rock bluff and will necessitate only few feet of tunneling,
 At the present time the canal right of-way is owned by Messrs. Speese, McPhaul and Winsor, the first named gentleman owning 8 one-half interest. The promoters of this enter prise expect to have canal dug that will irrigate all the land lying between the Gila and Colorado rivers in the next six months. There is nearly To- 900 acres in this body of land which adjoins Yuma on the east and is known as the Gila valley and is just as fine soil as can be found anywhere. Con- siderable land is still open for settle ment.
 It is the intention of the promoters at a later day to Hume the Gila river and extend their canal to the Mexican boundary,

Oniy a Flask.

Many are not being benefited by the summer vacation as they should be. Now, notwithstanding much outdoor life, they are little if any stronger than they were. The tan on their faces is darker and makes them look healthier, but it is only mask. They are still nervous, easily tired, upset by triaes, and they do not eat nor sleep well. What they need is what tones the nerves, perfects digestion, creates ap- petite, and makes sleep refreshing, and that is Hoods SarsaparilIa. Pupils and teachers generally will find the chief purpose of the vacation best sub served by this great medicine, as we know, "builds up tue whole system.''

The Deadly "Side-Wisder." ;"

Mrs. c. M. Thurlow had a narrow escape from being bitten by a side. winder last Sunday evening. Shortly after sun-down she went out to the hen house to sec that all was we'll for the night; seeing the half of large water. melon peeling on the ground she picked it up, when, To and behold, she saw his snakeship winding up prepara- tory to striking. Mrs. Thurlow rratur. ally made her exit quickly, and more dead than alive entered her residence. Her young son made a thorough search of the chicken house but the rattler had disappeared.
 When one remembers that this is one of the months of the year when rattle snakes are blind and the most venemous and when their bite proves fatal as rule, our citizens should heed the warming and take every pre-. caution after dark against the reptile, for the -winder" and rattle snake is liable to be any and everywhere.
