have been two minutes. 1 swung the
guns around to the starboard quarter,
and then we picked up the enemy. The
range at which I fired, to the best of
my memory, ives about 1, 400 yards, and
from then it was a constant fire, train
ing the guns until we finally got them
on the starboard beam The range in
creased up to 1000 yards, and during
the run after, being parallel with the
Spanish ships. the range varied from
about 1900 to 1880. I think when the
Viscaya went in shore the range was
then about 1900 yards. But imnedi-
ately before she turned she made a
sheer with her starboard helm, appar-
emily coming toward us, and then i'm
! mediately put holm around the other
way and went in shore. From then on
it was a chase after the Colon. At the
time the ViScaya went ashore the
Colon. by working up inside of the
other Spanish SHIPS, had secured a very
long lead.
81 would say that was at least five or
six miles, perhaps more, on our star
board bow, well in shore The order
was given to cease firing and to come
out of the turrets and take spell
during the chase of the Colon.
BATTLE DIRECTED BY SCHLEY
1.-The Oregon during that chase and
while we were on the top of the turret
was directed to try her 13-inch guns on
the Colon, which she did and the shots
fell short. In a little while they were
tried again and came a little closer"
Admiral Dewey: Directed by whon?''
by Commodore Schley, sir, by wig
wag signal, as I remember it,
Admiral Dewey: You saw that sig
nal?"
Yes, sir; saw the signal being
made"
Admiral Benham: Did you read the
signal?'
Il did not, but I understood what it
was and if I am not mistaken it was
McCauley, an ensign we had on board
who m ade the signals and myself
Shortly after this the forward turret
and starboard turret of the Brooklyn
were directed to load the guns with ar
NOR piercing shells.
THE forward turret was directed to
fire first, two shots, which it did. The
to fire, and 1 tired al range, as l now
recall, of 6, 500 yards. We tried both
guns at that range. These shots fell
short. We loaded again in the star
board turret, ana increased the range
to 500 yards, and fired the right gun
1t went a little to the right of the
Colon, as near as I could judge. but
the range was good. The Colon very
shortly after that went ashore. We
steamed up to her and proceeded to get
out a cutter FOR Capt. Cook to go over
and receive her surrender"
Capt. Lemly began his cross exami-
nation by asking the witness whether
he was as sure of the positions and
actions of the Brooklyn as he had been
of the way the Brooklyn had been
turned on the day of the Santiago
battle.
The witness replied that he was more
certain. He repeated his statement
made yesterday that he had made the
entry in the log that the vessel had
turned with a starboard helm, when in
fact it had turned with a port helm
He said he had not consulted with any
one except Commander Sharp before
he changed the entry.
The questions were then asked by Mr..
Hanna, and traversed much the same
ground gone over yesterday by Capt

CHEAPER ELECTRICITY.
City Council Will Try to Force
Down Prices.

It seems likely that the council will
shortly open up it's batteries on the Edi-
son Electric Light company's rates for
lights. Tt is asserted that the Edison
rates are as high or higher than the
rates which the gas company is charg-
Ing.
Several members of the council are
working on an ordinance fixing a limit
on rates to be charged by the Edison
company This fact is evidently known
to the company, for it had representa-
tive at the hearing of the gas company's
injunction suit in the federal court Tues
day.
I'VE are only waiting for the gas
suit to get out of the way" said one Of
the members Of the council today, land
then we will go after the electric lights
The people of Topeka have been paying
far too much for electricity. and the city
must either limit the rates or induce
some competing plant to locate here.
Electricity is something which probably
concerns more people than gas, because
it is being used more generally now than
the other methods of Illuminating. Elec-
tricaI experts tell US that the electricity
rates in this town are higher in proper
ton than the gas rates are
