I could give him no information as 70 what Admiral Simpsons plans were.
 ..Have you anything further to state with respect to this interview when will bear upon the subject of the 1n- quiry?''
 "The commodore hesitated some about giving me coal. He did not think he could spare ccal at first. said it was absolutely necessity, we were almost out of coal. having made the run from Key West. He said, very well, go below and 1 will think it over
 '.I went below to the ward room and was afterward called up and informed that they would give me coal. l had never before met the admiral. He lm- pressed me as being very nervous. He would get up and walk around, come back and sit down. and q number of questions he asked me about Admiral Sampson's intentions I was unable to answer"
 If I understood you clearly, you had no knowledge of the contents of the dispatches which you delivered?'
 Admiral Sampson did not tell me what was ill them. He simply told me these were duplicate dispatches he was sending by the Iowa. These duplicates he said he gave to me because he thought the Dupont could make better speed I left after the Iowa, passed her off Cape San Antonio and arrived in Cienfuegos some three or four hours before she did. I left Key West at Il 30 a. III. on the 20th."
 Lieutenant Wood was then asked: During this interview with Admiral Schley in which you made some state ments with respect to the admiral's manner, had he read thee dispatches Did he read them in your presence?'
 ''Oh. yes"
 'sDid he advise you of their contents then?'
 ''He did not tell me positively what they were. All the dispatches seemed to be of an important character judg- ing from the admirals manner upon receiving them"
 When asked by Mir Rayner if Ad- miral Sampson or anyone else had in- formed him before he left Key West for CienfuegOs that a code of signals had been agreed upon between the American forces and the Cuban in surgents. Lieutenant Wood replied in the negative.

ASRBORNE CASE AGAIN.
Supreme Court Decided Against
 the Town To-Day.

The Traction Company is Given New
 Irial-The Case Has Already Cost
 the Town Quite Large Sum.-The
 Superior Court Found Judgment
 Against the Traction Company for
 $9,000.-An Appeal Was Taken and
 To-day's Decision is the Result
 The supreme court has handed down q dccIsloI4 Ill the case of tie flown of Waterbury against the Connecticut Lighting and Power Company, grant ing q new trial. This is the celebrated case of Anthony Ashborne against the Town of Waterbury that attracted so much attention in the local courts. Mir Ashborne fell down the embankment at City Corners, receiving injuries which confined him to the house for q long time and left him an invalid for the rest of his life. He sued the town and got judgment two or three times, the town fighting the case until it had exhausted it's last resource i'll law. The final judgment amounted to quite big sum, something in the neighborhood of S9,00O. It was understood that if the town lost the selectmen would take action against the traction company to recover the amount and such action was taken some time ago and the case decided ill favor of the town in the su- perior court.
 The company took an appeal to the supreme court and the decision of that body shows that the town and the company will have to try conclusions again in the superior court.
