destroy the Colon and other vessels Of
the enemy which he attacked on May
81.
by commencing the engagement on
July with the port battery, and turn
ing the Brooklyn around with port
helm. Commodore Schley caused her to
lose distance and position with the
Spanish vessels, especially with the
Viscaya and Colon
"The turn of the Brooklyn to star
board was made to avoid getting her
into dangerous proximity to the Span
ish vessels. The turn was made to-
ward the Texas and caused that vessel
to stop and to back her engines to
avoid possible collision.
Admiral Schley did injustice to
Lieutenant Commander A. c. Hodgson
in publishing only portion Of the
correspondence which passed between
them.
Commodore Schley's conduct in con-
nection with the events of the Santiago
campaign prior to June 1, 1898, was
characterized by a vacillation, dila-
toriness and lack Of enterprise.
His official reports regarding the
coal supply and the coaling facilities
Of the flying squadron were inaccurate
and misleading.
His conduct during the battle Of
July was self-possessed and he en-
couraged, in his own person, his subor-
dinate officers and men to fight cour-
ageously.
The separate conclusions of Admiral
Dewey are as follows: I'm the opin-
ion of the undersigned the passage
from Key West to Cienfuegos was
made by the flying squadron with all
possible dispatch, Commodore Schley
having in view the importance Of ar
irving off Cienfuegos with as much
coal as possible in the ships bunkers.
"The blockade of Cienfuegos was ef-
fective.
Commodore Schley, in permitting
the steamer Adula to enter the port Of
Cienfuegos expected to obtain infor-
nation concerning the Spanish squad
ron from her when she came out.
"The passage from Cienfuegos to a
point about % miles south Of Santiago
was made with as much dispatch as
was possible while keeping the squad
ron a unit.
1.-THE blockade of Santiago was ef-
fective.
Commodore Schley was the senior
officer Of our squadron off Santiago
when the Spanish squadron attempted
to escape on the morning Of Jury Sd,
1898. He was in absolute command and
is entitled to the credit due to such
commanding officer for the glorious
victory which resulted in the total de-
struction Of the Spanish ships.
All of the members Of the court
unite in this recommendations:
I'm view of the length of time which
has elapsed since the occurrence Of the
events Of the Santiago campaign, the
court recommends no further proceed
lngs be had in the premises"

VALUE OF CORN STALKs.-Corn may

and not for the ears. Wouldn't 1t be
funny to be experimenting for an ear
less corn?
That is what 1t is likely 10 come to
If the uses of the corn stalks keep on
developing. Just now it Is neck and

The uses for corn stalks are verJ
many. The agricultural department
has made public a bulletin showing
that they may be used for these among
other purposes:
A packing for warships; a high
grade of writing paper; the basis OF
smokeless powder; and a cattle food

mixing it with cheap molasses.
The new food Is pressed into cakes
under a hydraulic press and can be
shipped as easily as bricks or cork

been sent to agricultural stations In
Europe. Reports from all sources are
very encouraging. This food will be

MAJORITY AGAINST SCHLEY.
But Admiral Dewey Files Vtndicat-
ing Minority.

Ing MINORITY.
The finding of the Schley court OF In
quiry was made public last Friday
night. There were two report; one by
Admirals Benham and Ramsey, and
the other by Admiral Dewey. The
majority report says that Schley Is
guilty on all the counts Of the precept
except that of cowardice; but that he
deserves all the credit due to the COM
mander-in-chief in the battle Of San
tiago. Admiral Dewey does not think
Admiral Schley was guilty Of any Of
the charges. The opinion Of Admirals
Benham and Ramsey are as follows:
Commodore Schley, in command Of
the flying squadron, should have pro-
ceeded with the utmost dispatch of
Cienfuegos and should have maintain
ed a close blockade Of that port.
He should have endeavored on May
%, at Cienfuegos, to obtain informa-
ton, regarding the Spanish squadron
by communicating with the insurgents
at the place designated In the memo
randum delivered to him at S.15 a. m.
of that date.
He should have proceeded from
Cienfuegos to Santiago de Cuba with
all dispatch, and should have disposed
of his vessels with view of intercept
ing the enemy in any attempt to pass
the flying squadron.
He should not have delayed the
squadron for the Eagle.
He should not have made the retro
grade turn westward with his squad
ron.
He should have promptly obeyed
the navy departments order OF May
25.
He should nave endeavored to cap
ture or destroy the Spanish vessels at
anchor near the entrance Of Santiago
harbor on May 29 and 80.
He did not do his utmost with the
force under his command, to capture or

"Come, Nadia" whispered Michael
Strogoff in the ear of the young girl.
Without making any observation
! ready for everything. Nadia took the
hand of Michael Strogoff.

rier," he said to her In low voice
"Guide me. but let no one see us leave
the raft"
Nadia obeyed. Michael Strogof and
she glided quickly over the surface OF
the icefeld in silence that was broken
here and there by the firing.
Nadia crept on in front Of Michael
Strogoff. The balls fell around them
like a shower Of hailstones and crashed
upon the ice The surface Of the field,
rugged and with sharp edges, made
their hands bleed. but still they kept
advancing.
Ten minutes afterward the lower
border of the barrier was reached.
There the waters Of the Angara again
became free. A few large blocks OF
Ice, becoming by degrees detached from
the field and floating with the current,
descended toward the town.
Nadia understood what Michael Stro-
soff wished to attempt She saw one
of those blocks Of Ice that was only
held by a narrow tongue.
"Come," said Nadia.
And both lay down on this morsel OF
ice, which a slight rocking loosened
from the barrier.
The block began to make its wa;
down the river. The river itself be-
came wider, aud the route was free.
Michael Strogoff and Nadia could
hear the firing Of guns, the cries Of dis
tress, the shouts of the Tartars that
made themselves heard up. the river
Then little by little those cries Of deep
anguish and of ferocious joy were lost
in the distance.
"Oh, those poor companions" whis.
pered Nadia.
For half an hour the current quickly
carried along the block Of ice which
was bearing Michael Strogoff and Ma,
dia. At every moment they feared that
they might sink under the water. Be-
ing caught in the stream, 1t followed
the middle Of the river. and 1t would
not be necessary to give 1t an oblique
direction until there was question of
making for the quays Of Irkutsk.
Michael Strogoff. with his teeth set
and his ears ready to catch the least
sound. did not utter single word.
Never was he so near attaining his
end. He felt that he was about to sue

double row Of lights lit up the somber

But suddenly Nadia gave cry.
At that cry Michael Strogof rose up
from the block, which became very un-
