Be Paid Mileage and $3.50 a
Day for

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy Hackett. at II o'clock
this forenoon, sent a messenger to Ad-
miral Schley's counsel requesting their
presence at the Navy Department. Messrs.
Wilson and Raymer were in consultation
at the time the message was received and
did not reach the department until about
2 o'clock this afternoon. In his message
Mr.. Hackett stated that he desired to see
the lawyers on important matters. At the
conclusion of their conference with acting
Secretary Hackett Messrs. Wilson and
Rayner stated that their talk had nothing
to do with the membership of the court of
inquiry, but was on a technical question
which was of interest only to themselves.
Later it was announced by Admiral
Schley's counsel that the admiral's letter
would not be made public for the present.
The admiral himself prepared the reply
tonight and it probably will reach the
department tomorrow.
Mr.. Tracewell, the controller of the treas
ury. has decided that the expenses of a
civilian residing in Cuba called upon TO tes-
tify before a naval court of inquiry con-
vened in Washington can be paid in pur-
suance of the provisions of Article 1860,
Paragraph 2, United States Navy Regula-
CLDAAC- ~ - I'LL 1haN Xix u vi IiC
secretary of the navy for a decision on
this question grows out Of the necessity for
the presence of residents of Cuba at the
pending Schley inquiry. In the course of
his decision the controller says: In this
instance the witness appears to be out of
the jurisdiction of the court and is not
bound to obey its If. however,
he chooses to do so i am of opinion and
decide that his expenses may be paid in the
same manner as those of a witness attend
ing in obedience to a subpoena before a
United States court, or at the rate of $50
for each days attendance and 5 cents a
mile going from and returning to his place
of residence. If special arrangements are
necessary to bring the witness within the
jurisdiction of the court additional ex-
penses properly incurred for that purpose
may be allowed and paid"
Capt. Thomas F. Schley, of the Twenty
third Infantry, has made an official reply
to the War Department regarding the al
legged interview credited to him in the mat
ter of the Schley court of inquiry. Captain
Schley says he has had no interview and
has talked for publication with no person.
he also says that some remarks made by
him in a private conversation were picked
up, distorted and extended on, and the
publication misrepresented what he said in
a friendly conversation with other gentle
men. The letter is regarded at the de-
partment as completely generating Cap
tain Schley and as a satisfa Glory explana-
ton of the alleged interview.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Denver Express" a meIodrama
familiar TO the patrons of the Park Theater,

OF the Holden Brothers company. The
audiences yesterday found an opportunity

OF the piece. especially that introduced in
the second act. The Garvey family is

stage manager, and evidently is able to i'm

act OF 'Sapho," with Nh. Kett as lean

familiar with "Sapho," but they were

GERMANS PROPOSED TARIFF.
1t Is Aimed at American Food Prod
ucts and Manufactures

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The State De-
partment has received from Consul General
Mason, at Berlin. a long report, setting
forth in details the features of the pro-
posed new German tariff which will affect
United States products. BY far the most
important OF these is noted in the advances
o. from 8 TO 800 per cent. in the rates on
food materials, meats and live animals. The
present treaty rate on wheat of 80 cents
would be increased under the new bill to
sl.54 per 100 Kilograms. The United States
sent ass, 533 metric tons of this commodity
to Germany last year.
AS to American manufactures the most
notable advances made by the new bill are
in the rates on bicycles and shoes. An
American bicycle. weighing about twenty
two pounds. would pay 1857 import duty,
instead of about SIPS, as at present. Shoes
would pay about double their present rate.
Mr.. Mason states that public discussion
of the tariff measure is confined to two
points-the alleged inadequacy of the pro-
posed duties on manufactured products,
and the effect which the heavy advances in
the rates on food materials will have upon
the nonagricultural population of Germany.
