SO in this country where the people,
will can govern and really does govern
and where the wisest leaders, before they
speak, listen for the voice of the people.
The hope of the country Is not in the
astuteness and ability of it's great men,
but in the virtue, intelligence and good
sense of the great body Of the people. "

COOL AND BRAVE
SCHLEY'S WITNESSES PRAISE
THEIR COMMANDER.
Associated Press Correspondent Says Sissbes
Told Schley the Spanish Fleet Was Not
In Santiago narbor-viscaya Planned to
Ram the BrookIyn-O Other Testimony Of
Interest.

Washington, Oct. 22.-The Schley
court of inquiry opened today with Lieut..
B. w. Wells, jr., who was Commodore
Schley's flag lieutenant during the Span
ish war, still on the stand, but he was
soon displaced to allow Woman Albert
V. Mason, who had written the Brook
lyn's log for the period covering the San
tiago campaign, to testify. Mr.. Mason
explained the erasures in the log entry,
referring to the Brooklyn's turn on the
day of the battle off Santiago. He was
followed bv George f. Graham, who was
an Associated Press correspondent with
Commodore Schley during the entire
campaign. .,
Mr.. Graham's testimony covered all
the principal events of the campaign,
especially the Commandment of the Span
ish ship Colon, on May 81, and the battle
off Santiago on July 3. Mr.. Graham
testified to hearing a conversation be-
tween Commodore Schley and Capt.
Sigsbee, when the latter came on board
the flagship Brooklyn off Santiago, May
26. He said he had distinctly heard
Capt. Sigsbee tell the Commodore that
Vic = pdlllSI ucCV was HOV lIIo1NC SAAO A1esA .
Dor at Santiago. Mr.. Graham also stated
that Admiral Schley had told him that
the object of the bombardment OF May
81 was to develop the Spanish land bat
teries, and he said that the range was
fixed at 1000 or $500 yards, in order to
draw their fire. He further said, with
reference to the events of this engage
ment, that he had heard no conversation
in which Commodore Schley had said
that the officers in their white uniforms
were conspicuous objects.
Mr.. Graham detailed conversation
between Commodore Schley and Capt.
Robley D. Evans, which took place after
the Santiago engagement. There was
some discussion over the admissib!lity
OF this statement, but the court decided
that any conversation between the Com.
modore and anyone else bearingu the
case was admissible.
The witnesses for the afternoon were
Dennis J. Cronin, who was Admiral
Schley's orderly, and who also testified
along the same lines as Mr.. Graham as
to the conversation with Capt. Sigsbee
Lient. Commander William r. Rush,
who said he thought the Viscaya had
planned to ram the Brooklyn; Lieut.
Edward Simpson, who gave very
graphic picture af the battle of July 3,
and Lieut.. Edward T. Fitzgerald, an
assistant engineer, who was on duty in
the fire room on July 3, and who,testified
that an order had been given early in
the action to stand by for a ram.

CALL OUT VOLUNTEERS.
All the British Reserves Likely to Be Soon
Pressed Into Service.

London, Oct. 25.-An error committed
by some of the provincial police has led
to the premature leaking out of the fact
that The war Office contemplates the pos
sibility of having to call out every volun-
teer in the country.
The war Office has distributed to the
police officers throughout the kingdom
bills ordering all reservists, military,
yeomen and volunteers, to report them
selves without delay at headquarters
with the view of active service. These
bills are accompanied by letters ordering
that the bills be kept in safe place until
Geographic orders to post them up are
received. The police Of Lancaster over
looked the letter and posted the bills,
causing widespread perturbation.

VAULTS LOOTED
CHICAGO POSTOPFlCE ROBBED
OF $4,000 IN STAMPS.
Entrance Found by Drilling the Bottom Of the
Steel Case-Belisved Robbers Supposed
They We're Getting Into the Vault Where
half Million Cash Is Stored-EmpIoyes
Under Surveillance.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-One of the boldest
and most successful postof1ice robberies
in the history of the United States was
committed Sunday night when one Of
three great vaults in the local postoffice
was entered and from $50, 900 to $75 900
worth Of stamps were stolen.
The job resembles the Selby smelter
robbery in California, in that access to
the vault was gained through tunnel
dug from the lake front side of the build
ing to the bottom Of the great steel case.
An 1S-inch hole was then drilled into
the vault and through the entrance thus
effected, the robbers helped themselves
to the valuable contents. loading the
loot on a wagon and getting away undis-
covered.
Scores of detectives have been put on
the case, working ON the theory that
persons thoroughly acquainted with the
building perpetrated the robbery.
A number of postotfice employees are
under surveillance.
Ninety.seven holes had been drilled in
one OF the plates in the bottom of tie
vault and apertures 2x3 feet made. The
robbery was not discovered until late
this morning. When the cashier opened
the vault he found box over the hole.
Upon the box were number of finger
marks which the detectives believe will
aid them in running down the crimina Is.
1t is thought that the work of drilling
the holes was begun at least three days
ago and the fact that the men perpetrated
the job without discovery is marvellous.
Hundreds of men worked on the floor
in which the vaults are located and
policemen constantly patrolled theinside
and outside of the building. A watch
man was stationed 20 feet from the
robbers place of exit.
1t is believed that the real objective OF
the robbers was the cash vault in which
a half million dollars in cash is stored,
but that in the darkness they mistook
the stamp vault for the great treasure

The action of the government is due
to Counsel General Dickinson's protests.
