Disagrees With Hodgson.

There was a discussion between the witness and Mr. Rayner over the fact that Lieutenant Bristol had estimated the distance of the nearest Spanish ship from the Brooklyn at the beginning of the San tiago fight at 3S00 yards, while Lieutenant Hodgson had estimated the distance at 400 yards. Lieutenant Bristol thought the Brooklyn's stadim eter inaccurate for so long a range as $500 yards
 MT. Rayner then questioned the witness as to the stay of the flying squadron at Cienfuegos. The latter said he had not considered that they maintained a block ade there. 'tWe were merely lying off the port" he said, ''and at night anything could have passed in so far as we were concerned without being seen'
 He admitted that the Dupont and the Castine had been kept inside the line at night, but that he had not been able to see them.
 MT. Rayner then undertook to compare the estimate of the distances which Com- modore Schley's fleet went to the east and west of Santiago harbor with that of Captain Folger. MT. Hanna suggested that the practice of quoting from the testimony of former witnesses, while not objectionable from legal point of view was calculated to produce delay and therefore not desirable When 4Ir. Hanna had taken his seat, MT. Rayner replied referring to MT. Hanna as his '1earned and solemn friend.' This characteriza- tion brought Captain Lemley to his feet.

 Mir. Rayner: "I withdraw it."
 MT. Hanna: Tt did not make me feel solemn"
 MT. Rayner: "I would not object to your calling me solemn"
 Captain Lemley: You are not solemn I call you funny"
 Admiral Dewey, speaking for the court, then said as there were no legal ob- stacles in the way of putting the ques- tion, it could be asked
 Lieutenant Bristol said in response;
 T do not agree with Captain Folger as regards the facts that the ships were nearer in at night than they were in the day time, because 1t is my firm recollec- tion now that they were further out at night than they were in the day time: also, l read from the log when testified that the average revolutions, according to that given the ship, was a certain speed which would be greater than the distance given by Captain Folger because we also stated in that log we steamed for two hours and turned first to the east and then to the west"
 The witness had not concluded his tes timony when the court, at O clock, ad- journed for the day.

 The line was about one and half miles long. The vessels generally steamed three and half to five miles to either side of the harbor, going and coming over the same line. The Marblehead and Viyen were on the inside but could only be seen at certain times. even when the weather conditions were favorable Frequently in fact only the vessel next ahead could be seen.
 MT. Hanna here asked the witness: of the vessels of the Spanish squadron had suddenly appeared what orders had you to make in such contingency"
 NO orders were turned over to me in regard to a contingency of that kind. ' replied the witness.
 ''As watch orders should you have had such orders?'
 "I should have had.'
 Lieutenant Bristol stated that the fleet lay outside of Morror from six to eight miles during the day. He spoke of the Spanish shore batteries, saving: q ner- sonaily examined them the day we ar rived there and satisfied myself that the batteries amounted to nothing.

We were not to fire upon the Aocopa battery unless they fired upon us. We had been there some little time when they fired on us. We returned the fire With our 61a-inch guns. We fired several shots in answer to theirs; the last shot they fired struck the Texas. We kept the glasses on them and whenever we saw any one apear on the battery we opened nre with one six-inch shell; that would drive them away, then we had orders to withdraw.

Minneapolis Tribune: It will be a
shock to the charitable people who
contributed to the relief Of the
Galveston sufferers to learn that
their benefactions were in some cases
devoted to the selfish uses of the
local committees. An investigation
by the Texas legislature shows the
following instances: A whole car
load of -four and 1000 sacks of meal
were sold by one committee and the
proceeds never accounted for;
$50, 900 of the charity fund was used
in building houses on the lands of
well-to- do people to be rented to the
homeless suffers; that between $15.
900 and $4,000 of the same fund
was used ia filling low lots belong
ing to members of the relief COM
mjt5ees; and other members Of the
committees held up moneys appor-
TONED to sufferers and applied it to
the payment Of old debts due from
sufferers to themselves.
