as to the whereabouts of the Cuban insur-
gents in the vicinity of Santiago was erro-
neous, the dispatch placing them much
nearer that city than they were. IF we
had gone to the place indicated" he said.
''at the time we received the dispatch we
would have been In all probability gobbled
So that the dispatch. therefore, was mis-
simply through information which was not
at that time very reliable about it,
Again referring to his own dispatch Ad-
miral Schley said that 1t had been deliv-
cred In English. but he added: Read In
the light of this order and in the view of
the fact that the squadron did not return
to Key West whatever may have been our
intention or purposes, j say there was no
disobedience of that order and there is no
order there to go back 1t was simply That
the department looked to me to establish
fact of which it was not certain"
In response to a request from Mr.. Rayner
the dispatch in dispute Admiral Schiey
gave 1t as follows:
1T is to be regretted that the depart
ment's orders cannot be obeyed, earnestly
as We have all striven to that end This
he said was the authentic version of the
sentence and was as he sent 1t.
The admiral was in the midst of his dis
cussion Of the "disobedience of orders"
dispatch when the old clock In the court
room struck and Admiral Dewey au-
nounced an adjournment for the day, rot
that he would like to conclude his testimo-
ny yesterday. The admiral was calm and
collected throughout the two hours that he
sat In the witness chair and he spoke In
tones which, while not loud, were so lis
tfnct that his words were easily heard

OF the men who want a place Every Of
hce-hoIoer Is his own constituent, and the
snip OF state sails serenely over calm seas

Aside from the fact that there are only
sixteen voters In Perkins, with a popula-

attractions which, combined with it's no

PERKINS as a town is confined within the
snore line OF Swan Island, washed on all

channels on either side are navigable to
steamers of appreciable draught About

there Is no discomfort to carry abroad
This summer many Boston people have
visited the town, which is reached by an
old d-fashioned chain ferry across the Ken
nebec channel II was In Perkins that Miss
Dumaresq. who became the wife of Colonel
Perkins of Perkins Deaf and Dumb Insh-

to make a pilgrimage to her old home un-
IN recent years. Many other old Boston
families. from the Bowdoins to the Holmes

around the island town. History says that
Aaron Burr met beautiful Indian girl
with French blood In her veins on one visit
TO Maine. and had by her a daughter who
was the one soul on earth to be faithful to
him at the time of his demise. when the

ner may be seen drawings of his dagger
and OF his gun. Below the corpse Is a
deaths head and the figure of a woman
who Is holding In her hand a saucer filled
with bread.
The deaths head represents that one
among the dead mans slaves who. accord-
ing to ancient custom. should have been
sacrificed at the time of his death, but
whose life was spared at the intercession
OF the French resident. Ordinary Baule.
negroes are buried as soon as they die, but
those of high rank are rarely buried for
seven months, and some even are not
buried for seven years. In the latter cases,
the body is duly embalmed. and then re-

used In embaiming. and cotton. with which
gold dust Is sometimes mixed, serves to
conceal the openings which the operator
has made in the body. Frequently thin
plates of gold are also placed as a shield
over the countenance. and all the orna-.

over the body. So the dead man lies on the,

should have been found among my papers,
but it could not have been delivered to me
for the reason that dispatch of that
character would have burned itself so in
delibly in my mind l never could have for
gotten it, never. Captain Cotton did not
communicate it to me. There, 1 think, his
recollection Is at fault and not his veracity,
because I do not believe he would state
anything that was not so. Neither my
first lieutenant. neither my flag lieutenant
nor my secretary ever saw 1t or can re-
member it. and it is a little strange that
three persons who had access to my papers
at all times should have failed to remem-
ber dispatch of that Importance. So it Is
a mistake. l never saw it. I don't re-
member 1t. I have no recollection of it.

Admiral SchIey at this point returned to
his conversation at Cienfuegos with Capt.
McCalla. He exonerated the captain from
any intention to do him injustice, but he
said that the captain had failed to give all
of that conversation. He did not for ex-
ample" said the admiral, tell you that his
advfces were that the only point on that
coast where he could coal was the coast of
tfon about going back to Key West with
him, but 1 do not believe that he would
state what was not fact. ! think. how
ever, that is a mistake
Disobedfence Denied.
Discussing again his dispatch 20 the de-
ders, the admiral said: .sIf my reply to the
telegram Of the Secretary of the Navy is
not on record would like to put 1t there
in the terms sent 1t, because I wrote 1t In
English. gave 1t to Capt. Cotton, asked him
to turn 1t into cipher and confirmed 1t af-
terwards In letter to the department,
which was received. The dispatch Is here,
and has been in the department for nearly
three years. don't believe for one mo-
ment that In the translation Of 1t there
was any Intention to mutifate 1t, but I
think in the choice of words which were
not exactly of the same meaning the dis
patch did not get to the department en-
tirely as I intended II should. Upon this
dispatch is based the charge of disobe-
dience of orders. contend that there was
no disobedience Of orders. There would
have been disobedience of orders IL I had
abandoned my station. but having returned
to the station without other direction. and
having found that the departments In
formation was correct. hold that I did not
disobey orders. and / think that this dis
patch. read and interpreted as sent. will
relieve that charge
Admiral Gchley pointed out that tho In
