Record a Refusal.
One of the Witnesses Tells How He
Signed the Inaccurate Chart
Against Ills Wishes.

ant A. W. Grant, who was on the Massa-
chusetts; Lieutenant Commander G.. @.
Marsh and Lieutenant E. L. Bennett, both
on the New York, and Lieutenant ]. Fl.
Holden, on the Scorpion. Captain Chad
wick, who was in command of Admiral
SIMPSONS flagship, the New York, and
who was the admiral's chief of staff, was
also expected to give testimony concern
ing the sending of dispatches from Key
West to Commodore Schley when he lay
off Santiago from May % to May "A.
Witness for SchIey.
Captain Cook, who occupied the same
relative position toward Schley that Cap
tain Chadwick occupied toward Sampson,
was also present, but is not expected to
testify until Admiral Schley begins to pre-
sent his side, being one Of the most prom
inent of the admirals witnesses.
Captain Lemly developed nothing new
in the questioning of Lieutenant Leiper
concerning the blocade of Santiago by
Commodore Schley
Lieutenant Commander William H.
SchuetZ, who, as lieutenant, was the nav
igator of the Iowa, was the next witness.
He was a member of the board of naviga-
tiOn which prepared the official chart of
the battle of July 8, and Judge Advocate
Lemly asked him concerning the report
the chart. Witness said he had not been
satisfied with the report. He added:
Signed Under Protest.
l protested against signing the report as
being inaccurate, but 1 was finally persuaded
to 60 so by the senior member Of the board,
Commander Wainwright, who thought that
was the best We could do, even if We stayed
there until doomsday, and 1 signed it under
protest. My first objection was that the
chart was inaccurate; that the position OF
the Iowa as plotted gave her too much speed.
In order to keep the Iowa in relative position
to the other ships for certain distances she
approximately appeared to be making eigh-
teen knots when she was making nine to ten.
Another objection was the initial position OF
the Brooklyn when the Spaniards first left
the harbor 1 contended that the Brooklyn's s
position was too close to the mouth of the
harbor; that she was not in her regular posi-
ton, but south Of it. based that opinion
upon the fact that when first discovered the
Spaniards coming out Of the harbor, l looked
over toward the other ships our left and
the Brooklyn was nearly abeam of the Iowa.
The Iowa was heading north, directly into
the harbor.

Chicago, Oct. 1O.-The Tribune this
morning says that interest in President
Roosevelt's Minneapolis speech has at no
time been keener than at present. 1t is,
in way, an outline Of what his policy
will be on several of the most important
questions congress will be called upon
to grapple with during the coming session.
Many favorable comments were passed
on President Roosevelt's utterances i'm
mediately following the delivery Of the
speech. Still others came upon his as
suming the oath of Office. Opinions ex-
pressed at this time, however, will per-
haps be more studied and carry more
weight than on either of the previous
occasions.
Since the press of the country undoubt-
edly represents public sentiment more
accurately than any other agency, it be-
ing in touch with all classes at all times,

New York, Oct 1O.-Tomaso Rauseh an
Amercanized Montenegin who is connected

al observation about this district where Miss
Stone is held captive and about the people
who inhabit it. He told a reporter that the
native Bulgarians were, in his opinion, in no
way implicated in the abduction of The Amer-
can missionary. He believed that to be the
w0fk of Turks; but he thought the peasantry
inathe country surrounding the scene Of the
abduction could easily be induced by the offer
of cash rewards for the heads of the brigands
to undertake a war upon the rascals which
would end in their determination.

TRAGEDY PROPHESIED
London Paper Points to a Possibility
of Further Evil

London, Oct. 10.-With reference to the
announcement that the Turkish and Bull
garian troops are surrounding the alb
ductors of Miss Stone, the Globe says it
considers that unless the movement ID
suspended until she is safely out Of the
hands Of the brigands there will infal-
libby be a repetition of the tragedy in
Greece in 1870, when Lord Muncaster and
a party were captured Lord Muncaster
was released in order to negotiate for a
ransom Of &25,000. Then, as now, an at
tempt was made to surround the brigands
with the result that four gentlemen Of
the party were murdered.
Lord and Lady Muncaster and a party Of
English travellers were seized by Greek
brigands, April II, 1870, at Cropos near Mar
athon. Lord Muncaster and the ladies Of
the party were sent to treat for the e25, 900
demanded as ransom, with free pardon for
the brigands. The latter were surrounded by
troops, and, In retreating April 21 killed Mr..
Vyner, Mr.. Lloyd, Mr.. Herbert and Count de-
Boyl The incident caused great excitement
especially as many influential persons were
charged with conniyance at the brigandage.
Several brigands were killed and seven were
captured, tried and condemned, May 2S, of the
same year. On June 20, 1870, five Of the
brigands were executed.

biggest event of its kind ever held.
The Transatlantic band has been en-
gagged and will act as the orchestra,
while speakers OF all kinds will be

be the solo by Mr.. Thomas Mercer,
whose magnificent voice has not been
heard in public for many years, and
with S. Hollister Jackson as accom-.
panist, the program promises to be an
entertaining one. The committee Of
management has made a strict rule
so far as speaking is concerned that is
that each one is allowed only five min
utes. This rule will not tire the au-
dience and will facilitate the organi-
zation scheme which should be taken
hold Of by all classes as the cause is
one in which all nationalities and all
creeds are interested.

the Staten Ferry Co., proceeded un-

sunken Northfeld were dragged out
Of the water by people along the shore
and the crews of the fleet Of river

a few Of the Northtield's passen-

who saw the ferry boats crash togeth-

collision between 25 and 30of the pas
sengers leaped into the water, and
that many Of these perished.
AS soon as the crowd which had
followed the sinking ferry boat along
the water front was able to render
aid, they worked with will and in
many instances men sprang into the
water to save life. Men and women
