partment received to-day two letters
from Admiral Schley relating to the
coming court of inquiry.
One of these was in reply to Acting
Secretary Hackett's note of yesterday,
which stated that If Admiral Schley
would furnish list of the important
witnesses he wished to have brought
to Washington at once, his request
would be granted as rapidly as the in
terests of the service would permit, by
bringing several of the witnesses at
a time.
Although the reply of Admiral
Schley was not made public, 1t is UNI
derstood that it is in the nature of a
respectful remonstrance against the
course suggested, coupled with a spe-
easily available should be summoned
for purposes of conference.
The other communication is under
stood to relate to a formal detail of
the trial.
1t was stated at the Navy Depart
ment that Admiral Schley's latest re-
quest as to the summoning of wit
nesses would be granted This will
have the effect of bringing here all OF
the Schley witnesses at an early day
in order that conferences may be held
between them and the counsel for the
Admiral. 1t is understood also that
Nunez, the Spanish pilot who was a
close observer of the battle of Santi-
ago Bay, having piloted Admiral Ger
vera's squadron out of the bay on the
day of the memorable sortie, is to be
requested by the Navy Department to
come here as a witness.

ON THE BANDITS TRAIL.
Onicers watching Everywhere for
Express Robbers.

Texarkana, Ark. Sept. 5.--The six
men who robbed the Cotton Belt train
at Eylau Tuesday night are still at
large, The bloodhounds which were
taken to the scene were of no service
as the trail was dead. The trail of
the robbers, however, was struck by
w. II. Ward. a Texarkana newspaper
man and a member of the sheriff's
posse. Ward was accompanied by
Yardmaster Taylor of the Cotton Belt.
The men followed the blind trail until
1t entered the main county road and it
was shown that the horsemen headed
for Texarkana.
When they reported the entire posse
returned here and the trail was aban-
doned. One of the horses known to
have been used by the robbers was
found by Ward and Taylor, it being
the property of a negro. From this
horse the first start toward the cap
ture of the men who are believed to be
implicated was made. News reaches
here tonight that the agent at Red
water seven miles below the scene of
the robbery, shot a man who is be-
lieved to be one of the bandits. The
entire county is swarming with Off
GERS who are running down every clue.

COL UMBIA TO BE DEFENDER.
Champion of 1899 WIN Race sham
rock IL.

New York. Sept. 5.-The yacht Co
lumbia, champion of 1899, has been
chosen to race against the Shamrock
II in defense of the Americas Cup.
This decision was reached to-day after
a conference lasting two hours be-
tween the members of the Challenge
Committee. All the committee were
present. Commodore Lewis C. Led
yard presided
The discussion was exhaustive. The
performances of the two boats were
gone over Systematically and critically
compared. The conclusion was that the
behavior of the Columbia was far
more consistent than that of the Con-
stitution' and that in the circumstances
there was no alternative but to name
her as the defender of the cup. 1t was
held that While the decision might be
disappointing to the syndicate which
owns the Constitution, the committee
We're compelled to chose the Columbia,
whose races have shown none of the
cratic form manifested by her rival.
The formal notice announcing the Sc
lection of the Columbia was posted at
the Yacht Club station shortly after
IL o'clock. 1t read as follows:
AT meeting of the Committee on
Challenge of the Royal Ulster Yacht
Club, held on the flagship at 1870 a.
m, the Columbia was selected to rep
resent the New York Yacht Club"
The news of the selection of the Co
lumbia to meet the Shamrock II when
received at the Stock Exchange, APP
parently caused no great amount of
Shamrock money to uncover. Nor did
it affect the odds formerly obtained by
hackers of the visitors. But little bet
ting, however, was recorded during the
day. One wager of $500 on Columbia
to $400Non Shamrock was made. An Of
fer of $1,000 even money on the Column
bia was made, with no takers, shortly
before the exchange closed.
Newport, r. l., Sept. 5.-W. Butler
Duncan, Jr., manager of the Constitu-
ton, expressed disappointment that his
boat had not been selected as the cup
defender. He said everything possible
had been done to get the best speed
out of her, and he had no fault to find
with officers or crew. He said that
Capt. Rhodes had been both skilful and
faithful.
Mr. Duncan said much blame was at
tached to the sails of the boat for her
erratic speed. He said it was a mis-
IIhe " change Ihc hrSI iidiliSdll WIN
which she was doing such good work
in her early performances.
The announcement of the selection
of the Columbia was received here
with expressions of approval among
yachtsmen. She has shown herself a
reliable all-around yacht that the de-
cision of the Challenge Committee is
held to be strictly just and impartial.
There have been no plans as to the
future of the Constitution. She will be
left here a few days until her owners
have had a chance to meet and dis
cuSS the matter.

Upton Is SATISFIED.
All He Wants Is TO Sail Shamrock
Against Americans Fastest Boat.

New York. Sept. 5.-After waiting
for three hours for breeze, Manager
Jameson, of the yacht Shamrock II,
had a consultation with Sir Thomas
Upton and Designer Watson and they
decided not to take the yacht out for
a trial spin to-day but to unbend the
mainsail and try another. one that has
never been used, and that requires
stretching This was done during the
afternoon and by shutdown the yacht
was all ready for an. early start to-
morrow afternoon.
At noon an Associated Press dis
patch announcing that the Columbia
had been officially been selected to de-
fend the Americas cup, was handed to
Sir Thomas Upton on board the Erin.
After reading it he said
II thank you for the information. OF
course, l shall abide by any decision
the committee may make. / am sure
they have made a proper selection, for
know their judgment is correct. All
want is to sail the Shamrock against
the fastest boat in America, and If 1T
is the Columbia, we are all ready, /
am glad the decision has been made"

WOULDN'T HAVE THE MESSAGE
MethOdists Don't Enthuse Over Re-
turn to Established Fold.

London, Sept. 5.-The ecumenical
Methodist conference to-day unani-
mously declined to hear the secretary
read the message of the Archbishop of
Canterbury, in which he expressed a
hope that some day the Methodists
would be united with the Episcopal
ians, and on similar import the mes
sage of the Bishop of London, on the
ground that they had been addressed
to the editor of a religious newspaper
and not to the conference.
Discussing the present position of
Methodism, Rev. T. E. Buckles, of
King Williams Town, Cape Colony,
went into the relations between the
South African natives and the Eu-
ropeans. He said he believed the war
would purify the administration of the
natives.
Bishop Hartsell, missionary bishop
of the Episcopal Church in Africa, said
the present time was the beginning of
another empire of Anglo-Saxon civil
ization. The war was merely an Incl
dent.
DR.. Leonard of New York thanked
God for what Great Britain was doing
in South Africa, and expressed the hope
that the war would soon end, with the
Union Jack floating
