SCHLEY'S SIDE OF The CASE.
The taking Of Testimony May Be Com
pleted Next Week,

washington, u. u, OCC. l5.-Ine pre-
sentation of the Schley side of the cas-,
was continued in the Schley court o.
inquiry today. Lieutenant Commander
Sears, Schley's flag officer on the
Brooklyn during the war, testified te
many details connected with the cam
paign. Other naval officers who serv-
ed on the Brooklyn followed. Schley
thinks it probable that the presenta-
ton of testimony in his behalf can be
completed next week. He will be the
last witness.
| Sears said that when the flying squa-
dron arrived off Cienfuegos, he knew
nothing of the code of signals for COM
municating with the Cuban insurgents
The McCalla memorandum he said,
was brought to Commodore Schley by
the Hawk, and by no other vessel to
his knowledge.
Sears gave detailed account of the
encounter with the British steamer
Adula. With reference to the blockade
off Santiago, witness said 1t had been
maintained at varying distances-three
to six miles. In thick weather and at
night the distance was less than in
fair weather and day time.
The reconnaissance on May 81, when
the Colon was fired upon, developed
the strength of the land batteries, and
they proved stronger than he had sup
posed. Schley had told him his pur-
pose was to ascertain what the batter
les were. Witness described the en-
gagement on July 8.
Sears said he remarked to the COM
modore that it appeared as if the Sec
ond Spanish ship coming out of the
harbor was going to try to ram the
the afternoon session Captain Cook, of
the Brooklyn, was recalled. Captain
Iemly asked a number of questions
concerning the, retrograde movement
on May 26. Cook said he had con-
versation with Schley concerning that
movement. The commodore said he
must have coal and would go in the
direction of Key West until the wealth
er moderated, so he could coal from
golfers.
Several questions were also asked by
the court. One related specifically to
the conduct of Schley in the battle of
July g. Cook replied: II cannot imag-
inc any conduct more admirable. He
was cool, brave and enthusiastic from
the beginning to the end of that ac-
ton"
He said in reply to a question from
Reyner that in that engagement the
as great danger as that of any other.

MISS, STONE is
IN GREAT DANGER
She Writes a Pathetic Letter Ask
ing That Haste Be Made to
Ransom Her.
BRIGANDS CHANGE FRONT.
Miss Stone and Her Companion We're
Courteously Treated at First but
Since Their Oaptors Have Been
Pursued Their Demeanor
Has Changed

New York, Oct. 15-According to
dispatch to the Journal from Sofia
Miss Stone, in a letter written from
Macedonia to w. w. Peet, treasurer OF
aatt1e Turkish mission at Constantinople
says: 1.-THE men who captured us al
first showed courtesy and considera-
ton toward us, but now, since the
Turkish soldiers and bashibaZouks
have begun to pursue us and the
ransom is delayed, our condition Is al
together changed Therefore beg you
to hasten the sending of the ransom
demanded and that, as energetically
as possible, you will present to the
Turkish government that it stop it's
pursuit of us by soldiers and bashiba-
zouks, otherwise we shall be killed by
the people in whose hands we are"
NO ONE CLAIMED THE RANSOM.
Sofia, Oct 15.-Although the time
fixed by the brigands, who abducted
Miss Stone, the American missionary,
for the payment of ransom demand
ed, expired week ago, no one has ap-
peared at Samakoff to claim the mon
ey or announce the fate of the cap
tives. 1t is learned that the band has
dissolved, but Miss Stone is kept under
surveillance at some distance from the

HIDDEN IN A SUBTERRANEAN
RETREAT.

dame Tsilka, the Bulgarian teacher

NJ Stone, the American missionary, re-
ceived another letter from their daugh-
ter urging the step already taken,
namely, the stopping of military pur-
suit, because the brigands threatened
the prisoners with immediate death in
the event of danger. The writer says
that she and Miss Stone are hidden in
subterranean retreat and treated
courteously, but the only means of Sc
curing their release is to pay the ran
som.

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.
The First National Bank is Enlarging and
Altering Its Quarters.

Comprehensive alterations are well
| cupied by the First National Bank of
| this city. This renovation includes not
only a thorough overhauling of the
| main room Of the banking building
where the business Of the bank has
| been so successfully carried on in time
past but has in contemplation the ad-
| ding thereto of the adtoini 4g room for
| the use of the officers and directors,
| thus devoting the whole ground floor
| to the purposes of the bank Improve
ments include new ceiling, new floor
| ing, replastering Of the walls, and af-
| ter this Is done a thorough painting.
That part occupied by the customers
will be tiled. Thus will not only great
| improvement be accomplished, but the
action thus taken insures the premises
being kept in modern business-like
shape.
Saturday last the bank closed one of
it's usual working days. Monday found
the old quarters bare, but every detail
of business operation set up and in or
der in the adjoining room. Nor were
the customers hampered by inconven-
ience or delay, in fact in the moving
improvements had been discovered
which rather added to the despatch Of
business. This speaks well for that
tail which has ever marked the course
of this institution.
With the growth of commercial op-
erations, which is so eminently the
characteristic of the past decade, goes
the growth of banking and in no form
is it more apparent than in the char
| acter and standing Of the bank, and
particularly that branch of banking
| carried on under the national banking
act Of the United States. Prejudice is
fast wearing away before the splendid
record which is the heritage of the
banking profession Of the United
States. There are defalcations. No
set of laws or minute per-
sonal inspection can prevent trusted
official from balancing his books at
night, stuffing wad of money in his
pocket and departing for more con-
genial climes, nor is there any mater
ial check to the running of a small
bank in the interests Of one man and
the rude awakening of the depositors
and stockholders to the fact that for
their good money they have but his
written promises to pay. Such, howev-
er, are the exception which are in in
intestinal proportion to the great
banking capital.
Aside from the stringent provisions
Of inspection and publicity thrown
around this the most important part of
credit operations by the national gov
ernment, stands the old homely vir-
tues of honesty, integrity and sound
business Judgment. 1t is to these and
to the dividend returns that corpor-
alton is making to it's stockholders that
depositor must base his judgment in
the selecting of an institution for the
safe-keeping of his money, for it is a
well known fact that "out of nothing
comes nothing" There Is no room for
a mushroom growth in this part of the
business world, especially where man
has the selection of so many well-tried
institutions.
