In well informed naval circles It is be-

them alive while the town was under

committed at the instance of insurrec-

also convicted and sentenced to death,
who was regarded as the worst of all
because he heard the confessions of the
murdered men when they were at the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The Senate to-

ties renewing the reciprocity treaties and
in executive session referred them to the
Committee Foreign Relations. The
principal ones are with Great Britain and
cover the British West Indies. The ex-
tradition treaty with the Argentine Re-

Guatemala were also received by the SEN
ate and were referred without debate.
The Senate spent some time during the
executive session discussing the question
of the proper committee reference of the
nomination of Eugene r. Hendry to be
Marshal for the Territory of Hawaii. The
nomination at first was referred to the
Committee on Porto Rico and Pacific ISL
ands, Of which Senator Foraker is chair
man, but Senator Bacon raised the point
that Hawaii is full fiedged Territory of
the United States, and that therefore the
nomination should go to the Committee on
Territories
Senators Teller, Foraker, Spooner and
Bacon engaged in the controversy which
followed and the question was ultimately,
upon the suggestion of Senator Spooner,
referred to the Committee on Rules for
the formulation of rule governing the
subject, the reference meantime being
held UP.

Ten Counts.
Commander of Flying Squadron Crit
icized for Delay Of Cienfuegos,
Retrograde Movement and
Colon Affair.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-The Washington
correspondent of the Inter Ocean teIe-
graphs his paper tonight as follows:
While the schley court of inquiry is not
expected to make its report for a week or
ten days. it is understood that the three
Admirals have practically concluded their
work, and the only delay is in the prepa-
ration Of the formal report.
The proceedings Of the court have been
carefully guarded from the time the pub
lie hearings were closed, but there Is
well-founded and good-grounded report in
naval circles that the court has found
against Admiral Schley on at least i've
counts.
Alleged ohenses Committed.
There are ten counts in the specihca-
tions OF the precept, and 1t Is impossible
to say on which Of these the court finds
against Admiral Schley. Naval officers
who have followed closely the whole
course Of the inquiry believe that Schley
will be criticised for the delay OF the
flying squadron on Cienfuegos; for his
misrepresentation OF the reasons for re-
turning to Key West; for his disobedience
Of orders IN making the retrograde move
ment; for his failure to destroy the Co
lon, and for conduct unbecoming an on
Ger and gentleman in the -Hodgson
controversy.
It is regarded as possible that the court
may group several Of these specifications
in the general criticism on the conduct
Of Admiral schley; but that he will be
severely criticised there seems to be no
doubt.
Dewey Has Blunt Way.
Members Of the court practically made
up their minds in the last days Of the
public hearings. and 1t is said Admiral
Dewey was ready to sign report shortly
after the court began its executive ses-
sions The hero Of Manila has a practical
and democratic way Of going at puzzling
questions. He was ready to drop formal
ity and proceed to write general report
upon the case.
| Admirals Benham and Ramsey are,
however, greater sticklers for strict form
ality in such proceedings, and they de-
sired to follow the rules of courts of in
quiry. go over the specifications and evil
dence upon each, and write their report
| in accordance with this method. They
| followed that rule in the executive ses-
sions of the court and reached their find
ings. They are now preparing a formal
report and will have it ready to submit to
the Secretary of the Navy within a week
or ten days. 1t is possible that it may be
submitted to the President and made pub
lie from the White House instead OF by
the Secretary Of the Navy.
