TESTIMONY in REGARD TO THE
NAVAL BATTLE OFF SANTIAGO

Washington, Sept. o4.-The part
played by the battleship Texas In the
naval battle Off Santiago, July 3,
1898, IN which the Spanish fleet, under
Admiral Cervera, was sunk, wns the
basis Of the greater part of yesterdays
proceedings in the Schley naval court
of inquiry. or the four witnesses eX-
amined during the day three had been
officers on board the Texas during the
battle, and two of them We're new
witnesses. There were Commander
George G. Heilner, who was navigator
on the Texas, and Commander Alex
ander B. Bates, who was the chief en-
gineer on that battleship. Commander
Harber. executive officer and the chief
surviving officer of the ship since the
death of Captain Philip, was recalled.
The fourth witness was Commander
Seaton Schroeder, executive officer on
the Massachusetts and now governor
of the island of Guam.
The testimOney several times during
the day was somewhat exciting, as
1t was especially so when Commander
Hellner described the battle and the
part the Texas had taken in it. He said
that when the Brooklyn made its loop

BEGINNING CZOLGOSZ TRIAL
BEFORE JUSTICE WHITE

, was out of the city and knew nothing
of what was transpiring here with ref
erence to the selection of counsel for
the defendant. When the circum.
stances of my selection We're told to
me l was extremely reluctant to ac-
cept. But the duty had been imposed
and considered II my duty in light OF
all the circumstances to defend this
man.
II ask that no evidence he presented
here. that the court will not permit the
acceptance of any evidence, unless II
would be accepted at the trial OF the
most meager criminal in the land
II am familiar with these clrcum-
stances" said Justice White In reply,
and | wish TO say will give you ev-
cry assurance that the prisoner will
have fair and impartial trial. and
that during the progress of the trial he
will receive such treatment as the law
demands In any criminal ease"
The work Of securing the Jurors was
then undertaken with n cclerity that
was amazing. Before the day was
over the entire panel had been sworn.
the jurors had listened TO n description
OF the Temple Of Music. where the
crime occurred, had seen photographs
of the interior Of that structure, and
had been told by three surgeons what
caused the death OF the President and
the effect of the assassln's shot upon
the various organs OF the body. They
had also learned why the fatal bullet
had not been located.

had only consented to 1t MS IL compro-
mise.
Engineer Bates admitted that the Of
fetal steam log of the Texas contained
no record of the signal to reverse the
engines. Commander Schroeder testi-
fed concerning the coal supply OF the
Massachusetts, which he said would
have been sufficient for n blockade OF
from sixteen to twenty days.
The day closed with another animat-
ed controversy between counsel as to
the policy of bringing Admiral Samp-
sons name into the trial.
Mr.. Raymer, counsel for Admiral
Schley, said:
I'VE do not propose to bring the
name of Admiral Sampson into this
controversy any more than ii k possi-
BILE to do so. We are not here now for
the purpose of condemning the fact,
II 1t proves to be fact, of the New
York, leaving on the morning of the
battle; we are not here to crltlcise the
blockade that Admiral Sampson had
Mt Santiago. but are here to establish
this, or under the specifications of
your precept memorandum, to find
out whether the blockade mt Santiago
was a close or adequate blockade.
Now, II we can prove that 1t was, SO
far as distances We're concerned, the
same blockade that the commandments
chief maintained there, then we can
justify the course of Admiral Schley,
who was commander-in-chief before
SIMPSONS arrival.
"Therc Is one other point, and this Is
all done for the purpose of really not
delaying hut properly getting Mt the
matter. We propose to prove that on
the 1st day of June the Colon was in
precisely the same position inside of
the harbor that she was on the 31st
day of May, when Admiral Schley
made the reconnaissance with the Mas
sachusetts and the New Orleans.
''Now, we propose to show TINT
when Admiral Sampson came up with
the ships his ships saw the Colon in
the same position and instead Of at
tacking 1t steamed by and permitted
her to go further inside the harbor
Now, would not we be justified In not
engaging in battle with the Colon and
the shore batteries at Santiago If Ad-
miral Sampson took the same course"

OUR NEW PRESIDENT BEGINS
WORK AT THE WHITE HOUSE

| Representative Livingstone of Geor-
gin was especially pleased with his
reception. The Georgia representative
had congratulated the President, had
expressed the hope that his admins
tration would be a success and had in
| formed him that as u southern man
and Georgian he would contribute
everything in his power to that end
The President replied that 1t would be
his aim to be the President of the
whole people, without regard to geo
graphical lines or class distinctions;
that it was the welfare of all which
he would seek to promote.
The President was more emphatic in
his declaration to Senator Pritchard
and Representative Klutz of North
Carolina and Representative Gibson
of Tennessee.
''The South will support you most
heartily" Senator Pritchard had said,
speaking for all three of the southern
men. 1.-The Democratic newspapers
are predicting good for you and OF you,
and the feeling of all the people for
you. irrespective of party, is most
kindly"
Il am going to he President of the
United States, ana not any section
replied the President. Il don't care
for sections or sectional lines. When

could make four appointments In the
army. When | sent in the names,
three were from the South and the
other from New York. They We're
brave men, who deserved recognition

A Vienna dispatch says that Prof.
Edwin Suess, the eminent publicist
and paleontOlogist, has given an inter-
view respecting the industrial and po-
lltical prepOnderance of the United
States that attracts much attention,
especially as 1t confirms the anti-Amer-
lean views of continental manufacture
ers and economists.
The professor, surveying interna-
tional Relations from the standpoint
of political philosopher, observes
that while the French revolution was
occasioned by the abuses of the priv
ileged classes, the present situation
has been caused by revolution of ma
teral conditions. The declining ma
tional sentiment should be replaced by
movement for the common defense
of the central European states against
the American trusts which are moving
to conquer the foreign markets more
surely than they could be conquered
by battleships. The American balance
of trade has reached an unparalleled
figure. 1t was n serious question if
the present political units of central
Europe We're strong enough to make
an effective defense, taking into ac-
count the physical conditions. The
present shifting of the center of gray
ity of the worlds forces would create
three great units-China. Russia and
America. When China was equipped
with railroads the people would find
that she had the most capable mer-
chants and the cheapest labor. Rus
sia would have the largest army and
