Probably the most important Of the
witnesses yesterday was Sylvester SEQ

Smith, press boat, and came up with
Sigsbee's boat, the st. Paul, on Santl.
ago, May q or %, he said. Scoyel
wanted to know the news, naturally,
and through n megaphone (the two
boats being from Is to 100 feet apart,
he asked Sigsbee where was Schley.
Sigsbee said he was in the Yucatan
passage and that the Smith-which
was slow boat-could overtake the
commodore.
Then scovel asked "Where is Ger.
vera" This question Sigsbee did not
reply to at once, but consulted with
another officer on the bridge before re.
plying: II am not sure, but we caught
an English collier trying to sneak into
the harbor this morning." This ended
Scovel's tnlk with Sigsbee, but he said
that other men on the Smith had CON

partly in reply to Rayner, that it was
possible that he ScoveD had not heard

ly SO, as the boat was small and the
conversation through a megaphone
necessarily loud. The point of Scoveps
testimony was that Sigsbee did not in
form him that Cervera was not in San
ago harbor.
Scoveps last reply to Rayner was:
mo, ! am not prepared to say that
his tHare'sl statement is false, and
that no such conversation took place,
but can swear that nothing Of the
kind was said while was conducting
the conversation. and I conducted the
principal part Of It," Hare swore that
sigsbee megaphoned that day that Ger

Cent. East ana West.

"There is always scarcity of pen
MES in the west" says IN official Of
the Philadelphia mint, ''and super
abundance of them in the east. Every
little while the banks out there set up
n boot and cry for pennies, but our
banks here are ever glad to rid them
selves of their surplusage in these
coins. 1t is difficult to see why such D
state of things should be. I'm sure a
penny is just os dear to the eastern
er's heart as to the westerner's. One

than would the other, yet here we Ill
ways have too many pennies. There

WRESTLE WITH FACTS
Comes on Apace for the Judges in
the SchIey Court of
Inquiry.
TESTIMONY IS NEARLY ALL GIVEN
scovel and Hood Add to the Record
Schley to Correct His Evidence
Then Oratory.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The hands of
the elongated antique timepiece which
stands against the wall in the hall oc.
cupied by the Schley court of inquiry
pointed to 1916 p. IN. yesterday when
Judge Advocate Lemly announced that
Ire had no more witnesses to call, and
Rayner, following him, said that no
witnesses would be summoned on be-
Ealf of Admiral Schley In sur-rebuttal.
For a moment 1t appeared as If the
now famous case was about to reach a
sudden conclusion. But this delusion
was soon dissipated by the announce.
ment on the part Of Captain Lemly
that he might ask to be allowed to
bring In one more witness on Monday,
and also statement from Rayner
that Admiral Schley himself would de
sire to return to the stand on Monday
to correct errors in his evidence as of.
fcially reported.
Only Three More Men to Hear.
There is probability that the ad.
Iniral will consume considerable time
In going over the printed record of
what he said, and there also is an I'M
Outstanding that he will make some ad-
dttions to his former statements. But
1t is not believed that beyond what he
may have to say there will be much
more testimony taken in the case. The
only witness that the Judge advocate
still has in mind is Lieutenant Strauss,
and Captain Lemly said yesterday that
If the lieutenant's attendance could be
secured he would detain the court for
short time only. Captain Sigsbee
also will return to the stand Monday
to make corrections in the testimony
given Thursday by him.
Court Has n Tough job Ahead.
These details completed, the argu.
ment Of counsel will begin. and then
counsel and the public will withdraw
and leave the court to Its deliberations.
The tnsk before the court is not n light
one, and It may be weeks before the
final verdict will be reached. Yester.
days witnesses were Sylvester Scovel,
former newspaper correspondent who
saw service In the Cuban campaign;
Lieutenant Hood, who commanded the
Hawk during the Spanish war, and a
number Of officers who were heard
Thursday, and who returned to the
