WAS SAMPSON WARNED?

and jaunty in their fresh-laundered
white suits, came into the parlors OF
the governors palace in Santiago.
where Shafter had his headquarters.
The army officers, dirty and yellow.
their thin faces showing the effects OF
fever and hardships and lack
of food, flocked around Schley.
Admiral Sampson stood al
most alone at one end of the long
room, but Schley was the center OF an
enthusiastic crowd. He was congratu-
lated again and again. Generals, colo
nels, majors, captains and lieutenants
pressed his hands. They threw their
arms around him and told him he was
great man. OF course every army Of
ficer paid his respects to Sampson, but
most Of them did it in conventional
way. There was no warmth to their
greetings.
1t was not until we reached Mon

leave the harbor at T. Sampson.
8 o'clock the following morning. On
that day was told by officers that the
French consul had told Maj. Noble
that Ceryera was getting ready to
leave and would make the attempt the
next morning
None of us believed that the Span
ish admiral would attempt such a des-
perate movement. We were told that
day that the news was wig wagged-
by order of Gen. Shafter-from the
shore to Admiral Sampson. If this was
done Admiral Sampson did not be-
lieve that Cervera would make the
dash, for when the Spanish ships left
the harbor, Sampson, aboard the New
York, was steaming toward Siboney to
hold conference with Gen. Shafter.
About $3.50 o'clock on the morning
of July we heard several of the navy
guns roar. No one in the trenches of
San Juan hill paid any particular at
tention to the booming, for we thought
the warships had begun their daily
bombardment of MORO castle and the
other batteries.
But the heavy cannonading grew
stronger and we could hear the Span

Gen. Shafter. before and after
Cervera's feet dashed out of Santiago
bay to its destruction he would be well
equipped to play the part of star
witness in the coming Sampson-Schley
gard Sampson as great fighter in
those days.
We who were with the doughty
Shafter have very lively recollections
of the generals bringing his huge fist
down upon the quivering camp table to
emphasize the string of characteristic
strong words he used to express his
opinion of Admiral Sampson.
why doesn't he force his way into
the bay?" said the general. lis he
afraid of scraping some Of the paint
from the bottom of his ships?"
This was after the Spanish fleet had
been destroyed. There were no war
ships flying the Spanish flag in the
bay, but 1t was said then that the
channel was mined and that IL any
hostile craft attempted to force an en-
trance 1t would be blown over the
mountains.
Gen. Shafter was rank skeptic
about the mines. The Cubans had told
him, and their report was partially
corroborated by some refugees. that
any mine or torpedo which had been
laid in the channel had been there sc
long that it would not explode. They
said the only danger to an American
ship was in the shore batteries.

CONGRESS IS EXPECTED TO
ORDER MANY NEW SHIPS
Steel Strike and Disagreement Over
Respective Merits of Turrets
na1o

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-It is probable
that~a liberal building policy with respect
to naval ships will be urged upon Con-
gress at the approaching session. No
authorization for new construction was
given by Congress at the last session
owing in part to a disagreement as to
the respective merits of single and super
posed turrets. Congress contented itself
with a direction to the Navy Department
TO submit full plans for two battleships
and two armored cruisers to it at the ap-
preaching session, SO that the body could
itself choose between the designs. Sec
retary Long. however, does not regard
himself is estopped by this direction
from recommending the construction Of
additional warships, and as full year
has been lost in the execution of the
naval building scheme laid down by. the
policy board, and as more time has been
lost through the great delay in construc-
ton of the ships already authorized and
contracted for, owing to the steel strike,
a considerable increase must be recon-
mended in order to avoid falling hope
lessly behind in the erection of the ideal
American navy.

CROSSING SEA
IN A BALLOON
Comte de la Vaulx En-
Route From France
to Algeria.
Carrier Pigeon Brings Word
That All Goes Well With
the Aeronaut.

PARIS, Oct. IA dispatch from Tou-
lon says carrier pigeon arrived there at
o'clock last evening from the balloon of
Comte de Ia VaulX, bearing the report
that the balloon was being driven by a
northeast wind, going at a fair speed, the
weather being very fine and all well.
MARSEILLLES, Oct. H.-A steamer
which has arrived here reports having
sighted the balloon of Comte de la Vaulx
yesterday (Sunday) about 1890 D. M The
balloon was about fifty miles from Mar
seilles and shaping its course for Algeria
The car was about sixty feet above the
sea. The Comte de la Vaulx signaled that
all was well.
PARIS. Oct. 14.-Considerable interest
is manifested in the attempt of Comte de
la VaulX, the aeronaut who left Les Sa-
blettes near Toulon, last night, on a bal
loon voyage across the, Mediterranean,
with view of testing the possibility of
using balloons between France, Corsica
and Algeria in time of war
The success of the experiment has been
frequently endangered of late by bitches
has received semi-official support in the
way of subscriptions from the Ministers
of Marine and War. The former had
promised a cruiser as a convoy and also
lent the initiating apparatus. A fortnight
ago, however, M. de Lassen decided that
the season was not propitious for the ex-
the apparatus.
Comte de la Vaulx with difficulty re-
placed the apparatus. Then a portion of
the balloon shed collapsed in a gale and
tore the balloon. This damage was re-
paired. but a few days ago another acci-
dent delayed his departure.
Finally the the aer9nauts in9 i luck changed
last moment M. de Lassen revoked his de-
cison and ordered the French second
class cruiser Du Chayla to convoy the
balloon, which is also conveyed by pri-
vate yacht.
The aeronaut is accompanied by two
other aeronauts and a naval lieutenant
He expects to reach Algeria on Wednes-
day night or Thursday morning. He took
with him seventy-five carrier pigeons to
be released in three patches daily. The
balloon, which is decorated with the tri-
color, carries accumulators for electric
signal lamps and an electric pump to
draw up sea water for ballast whenever
necessary by tubes immersed in the sea.
Comte de la Vaulx, by a system of
floats, intends to keep about 400 feet above
the water.

DECISION FOR GOVERNMENT
IN PHILIPPINE TARIFF CASE
lpreme Court Will Sustain Legality of Collection of
Duties on Goods From the Islands.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

The Pepke case differs materially from
the De Lima case, which was decided
against the Government in the spring.
The De Lima case involved the validity
of the collection of duties on goods i'm
ported into the United States from Porto
Rico after the ratification of the treaty
of peace, but before the operation of the
Foraker act. by which Congress estab-
lished a tariff system between that ISL
and and the United States proper.
The most important difference between
the Pepke and De Lima cases is found
in the fact, as was pointed out by Justice
Brown, who held the balance Of power
in court when the other insuiar cases
were decided, that the United States did
not have actual possession of the Philip
pines and the government there was be-
ing conducted under the war power of
