BEGINNING OF ARGUMENTS IN
THE SCHLEY INQUIRY CASE

Washington, Oct. 5.-The Schley
court of inquiry reached the argument
stage at the beginning of the afternoon
session yesterday The morning sit
ting was devoted to listening to Ad-
mlal Schley and Captain Sigsbee in
making corrections of their testimony.
Which had been given previously and
the Introduction by Judge Advocate
Lemly of numerous documents bearing
upon the different phases of the in
quiry. Admiral Schley did not make
any material additions to his previous
statements. but devoted himself largely
to the clearing up of ambiguous points
in his evei1ence
When the court convened after recess
the argument in the case was begun.
Mr.. f.. +. Hanna. assistant to Judge
Advocate Lemly. opening for the gov
ernment
Mr.. Hanna told of the arrival of the
flying squadron at Key West and read
a number of preliminary orders to
Commodore Schley. Speaking of the
run of the flying squadron from Key
West to Cienfuegos. Mr.. Hanna claim
ed that the trip was made as eXpedi-
tiously as possible.
Mr. Hanna then read the order of
Admiral Sampson to Commodore

this beautiful Sunday morning, having
moved into our handsome new quar-
ters, we have reason to thank God and
take courage. First because we have
i'll some degree carried out the designs
and desires of the founder of this tab
ernacle. God has been in the work.
Secondly, we have established the
fact that an institutional church is
probably the best way to reach the
masses. At first we could not get the
people to come to the preaching ser
vice. Then we remembered that Jesus
Christ fed the hungry. healed the sick
and raised the dead. If those methods
were good 1900 years ago. they are
good to-day. SO we started feeding the
poor. taking care Of little children. heal
ing the sick in the free dispensary.
There was no difficulty after that about
getting Il crowd to hear the gospel.
Thirdly. we have proved to the
world that Institutional church work
pays spiritually. morally and financial
ly. II all the people to whom we have
given medicine free had paid 80 cents
each for Il prescription it would have
cost during the years we have worked
$4,000. If every man and woman we
have secured employment for had paid
81 each for their positions. it would
have amounted to S26.50O: so we have
saved the poor i'll these two things

uniform to the effect that the run was
Il slow one and that it did not proceed
with dispatch as directed.
He quoted Captain Sigsbee's testi
mony to the effect that he had not told
the commodore that the Spanish fleet
was not in Santiago, and also gave Ad-
miral Schley's version of the interview.
claiming that Sigsbee did say that the
Spaniards We're not here. Captain
Sigsbee was an officer of experience
ana knew very well that the fact that
he had not seen the feet was not evil
dence that the fleet was not there. If
Captain Sigsbee had said positively
the fleet was not on the inside Com
modore Schley should have refused to
accept it as utterly illogical
Continuing Mr.. Hanna said: II
should think that if Commodore Schley
had received information that set his
mind at rest sufficiently to warrant his
turning his squadron back toward
Key West. convinced him cOncluSively
that the Spanish fleet was not there,
he would surely have stated that in
his next telegram to the department"
At this point Mr. Hanna took up
specification four. referring to the ret
rograde movement. He said that in
making this move Commodore Schley
had not only taken away from Santi-
ago the fighting ships of the flying
squadron. but also the scout vessels
located there by the government to

DENVER UNIVERSITY
NEEDS MORE MONEY

Denver, Nov. 5.-Chancellor Henry
A. Buchtel is now engaged in a search
for some interested friend of the Uni
Iersity of Denver who will donate $1O.-
GOO to save University hall. the main
building of the institution, from being
sold November 25th to satisfy overdue
interest to the amount of $4,000 on Il
principal of $4,000.
This is Il critical period in the his
tory of the university said Chancellor
Buchtel last evening. 'If we fail to
raise this money the building will be
sold, which would be Il severe blow to
Denver as we'll as to our institution
We must have the money at once and
it is evident that if we can turn this
corner we will soon be out of our per-
lis forever.
The facts Of our embarrassment are
these: The Mack estate of Boston
holds a mortgage of $4,000 on Uni
versity hall. on which there is inter
est of $4,000 overdue for two years
The university has paid a trite over
$1,000 overdue interest in eighteen
months. but the trustees of the Mack
estate now demand that all the over
due interest be paid at once as well as
$4,000 principal, which makes it neces-
sary to at once secure $4,000 by No
vember 25th.
'Of this amount we have conditional
promises which cover the $1,000 inter
est. but we still need $4,000. The uni
versity makes no resistance to the
claim. and it is making every effort to
obtain the money this week.
Last year the university debt was
reduced S25.O0O, bringing it down to
Sl5O.OoO. During the same period the
student body increased in number from
$50 to S7S. and this year we have 1000
students in all the schools of the insti-
tuition. and ia professors. The total
property of the university is worth
more than S75O,00O. including twelve
buildings costing S33O,O0O. In addi
tion the university has lots at lfniver
sity Park worth more than S2OO.OOO
These are for sale at from $3.50 to 800
a pair.
1T is evident that if we can tide over
this crisis we will be out of danger
FrGm its recent growth the student
body will undoubtedly reach Il total of
1,5O0 in three years. and the outlook is
i'll every way encouraging. But we
must have the money at once
