again, in relation to the testimony of

Judge Advocate do not think the
purpose of calling the witness to revise
his testimony is to enable him to con-
tradict witnesses who have been on the
stand.

remarkable statement. Your wit
nesses have a right to rebut ours and
we have not a right to answer them.

asked the question if we would have
the right to call up witnesses to con-
tradict new witnesses, and the court
said of course we would; otherwise we
would be barred out entirely.
Judge Advocate think as Lieuten-
ant Roys is the only witness who re-
manned uncontradicted have no objec-
ton to make
Rayner-I think that is a great mis-
take. | think there gro fifty witnesses
uncontradicted, according to my recOl-
lection. That is a highly improper re-
mark for the judge advocate to make.
After a quarrel between counsel the
court ruled that it had no objection to
the admiraPs reference to Lieutenant
Roys. Admiral Schley said: Il merely
wanted to say in connection with Lieu
tenant Roys' testimony that l heard
| nothing Of the desire of Lieutenant
Switzerland to coal. l am sure he rs
mistaken about that, because it would
have been impossible that day for that
ship to COAL"
This closed the testimony, and Lemly
then put in an amount of documentary
evidence, some of which was ruled out.

mission issued during the senate re-

not confirmed by the senate.

that General BOtha. who had been

BensOn's rear guard Oct. 80 on the

Benson fell MORALLY wounded early in
the fight. Major Wools-Sampson took
command, collected the convoy and
took up a position for defense about
500 yards from entertainments pre-
pared by the Beors. The captured
guns were so situated that either side
could touch them.
The Beers made desperate efforts to
overwhelm the whole British force,
charging repeatedly right up to the
British lines, being driven back each
time with heavy loss. The defense
was stubbOrnly and successfully main
tained through the whole of the follow

London, Nov 2.-Lord Kitchener has
the British near Bethel, eastern Trans
vaal, in which two guns were lost, sew
eral officers killed or wounded, and
fifty-four men were killed and 160
wounded. The following is the text of
Lord Kitchener's dispatch, dated Pre-
toria, Nov. 1:
81 have just heard of severe at
tack made on the rear guard of Colonel
Benson's column when about twenty
miles northwest of Bethel near Brok-
enlaagte, during a thick mist. The
strength OF the enemy is reported to
have been 1000. They rushed two
guns with the rear guard, but it is un-
certain whether they were able to re-
move them. | fear our casualties were
heavy. Colonel Benson was wounded,
but not severely. A relieving column
will reach him this morning"
Benson Dies of His Wound.
Later Lord Kitchener telegraphed as
follows: Colonel Barter, who marched
from the constabulary line yesterday,
reached BensOn's column early this
| morning unOpposed. He reports that
Colonel Benson died of his wounds.
The other casualties are the following:
Killed--Colonel e. Guinness, Major f.
D. Murray, Captains M. w. Lindsay
and f. 7. Thorould, Lfeutenants e. V.
I. Brooks and r. e. Shepherd. and Sec
ond Lieutenant A. J. COrlett; died of
wounds, Captain Eyre Loud" Lord
Kitchener then gives the names of thir-
teen other officers who were wounded,
most of them severely, and announces
that fifty-fOur non-commissioned Off
GERS and men were killed and 100
wounded, adding that four of the lat
| ter have since died of their wounds.
Believes the Guns Were Retaken.
The dispatch then says: Il assume
| that the two guns have been recovered
| and the enemy has withdrawn, but
| have no further details. I deeply re-
| gret the loss of Colonel Benson and
| the other officers and men who fell
with him. In Benson the service loses

miral Schleys behalf concerning the
controversy as to what information
Captain Sigsbee communicated to Adj
miral Schley when he arrived off Santl-
ago in May, 1898.
Newspaper Men Ruled Out.
One of these witnesses was Frank Is.
Richards and the other George Lynch,
both of New York, and both newspaper
correspondents who were on duty in
Cuba and in Cuban waters during the
war with Spain. Lynch was on the
press boat Somers n. Smith, and Rich
ards on the Premier. They were to
have testified concerning the meeting
of those vessels with the st. Paul, Of
which Captain Sigsbee was in COM
mand. The court, however, decided
not to hear them. deciding that their
testimony did not concern any point iii
the precept Captain Sigsbee had tes-
titled again denying that he had told
correspondents on the press boat Pre-
mier that the Spanish fleet was not at
Santiago.
Lemly States His Objection
When Richards took the stand to
contradict Sigsbee Lemly objected on
the ground that Commodore Schley
was not present during the converse
ton and that it was not material to
the issue. Rayner said he did not de-
sire to impeach the credibility of Cap
tain Sigsbee, but would endeavor to
impeach strongly his recollection.
After a short argument by Hanna in
support of Captain Lemly's objection
the court retired to consider the point
raised. When it returned Admiral
Dewey announced that ''As the testi-
mony of this witness is not considered
by the court material to the case, the
objection is sustained in accordance
with the courts previous ruling"

He Makes Corrections In the Report OF
What He Testified.
This matter out of the way, Schley
took the stand to make corrections in
his three days testimony. He began

graphical errors, changed words to
make sentences read smoothly and
added or eliminated statements. Re-

flying squadron by the Eagle the morn
ing Of May 10, and the latter convey
ing the information that there was mo
news" Admiral Schley corrected his
testimony wherein he said that he was
rot mistaken as to this, by stating that
he might have been mistaken.
He came in course to the disputed
conversation with Sigsbee, and to Sigs-
bees statement that when he went on
board the Brooklyn the whole ques-
ton, so far as he could remember, was
coal, and nothing but coal, and that

did not say to Captain Sigsbee that we
were going to Key West, as the signal
will show" said Schley. ''Sigsbee was
talking on the subject of coal, and
since he mentions it I recall the fact
that his statement was that he was
commanding a vessel that was one
tenth of mile long and that she could
not turn her engines over under $50
tons of coal a day; also that he could
not remain there very long, and would
have to go to Key West"

Communicated,

To the Editor of The Republican.
1t is gratifying to note the order
prevailing along our line now. True
we hear an occasional shot from a
sharpshooter, but they are so far in
the thicket that the smoke of the
powder they are burning and wasting
is invisible and their mIssis harm
less. So general Is the harmony that
but one point of Importance presents
itself to my mind. AS we expect to
elect the full Republican ticket in
November, let us brush away few
faults that have long been lying at
the door of nearly every voter in the
county. 1t has been the custom of
the majority of us after electing sem
ators and delegates to represent us in
our State assemblies to sit down and
wait and watch the newspaper re-
ports for some important legislation,
and the result is we are still waiting.
| mean the majority. The minority,
consisting of business men in the diff
ferent lines of trade and professions,
have one or more times in the history
of our county taken the proper steps
to secure legislation favorable to their
several callings and interests by con-
sulting each other, formulating and
having bills drawn up and endorsed
by persons interested in their lines of
business and trade, putting up the
money, appointing committees con-
sisting of the most shrewd tactitions
favorable to their schemes who went
boldly to the jungle and bearded the
lion in his den and tenaciously held
on until the end they sought was &C
complished. 1t was so in the early
history of our county when the estab-
fishing of the county seat was the i'm
portant question at issue. The ma
jority stood still. Some dreamed and
some wrangled, but the enterprising
few of that day who were awake,
alert and watchful, some of whom |
remember were Messrs. d. E. Offutt,
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-09-26

John Daily, DIR. E. H. Bartlett and l
think r. T. West and A. A. Perry,
three of whom have since passed to
the realm beyond but were then fully
alive to the future interest of those
who now enjoy the benefits of their
enterprising spirits, and for the ben
eft of those who were too young to
remember l will further say after the
act to establish the county seat at
Oakland had become a law the county
commissioners refused to levy money
to build the court house and Jail, but
after lengthy persistence two of the
former gentlemen, Messrs. Offutt and
Daily, appeared before the court and
demanded that bill of mandamus
be granted compelling the commits
sioners to make the necessary levy,
which was done, and | must not for
get to credit the b. g. o. r. R. Co.
with the free passes to the members
of the committee which bore and ac-
companied the former sacred trust to
the State CAPITAL. And thus it must
continue to be with all who will have
efficient laws to meet the demand,
morally, religiously and CONNER
cially.
1t is not the business, strictly speak
ing, of our representative in either
branch to formulate bills; neither
should they act upon their own re-
sponsibility to have laws enacted,
however beneficial they might be,
without some hint at least of their
approval by the majority. The miners
and railroad men have taken such
measures with success, but how many
farmers, mechanics and laborers who
constitute the majority? Not one in
Garrett county to my knowledge.
Gentlemen, if you want legislation
in your favor follow the example of
those old pioneers. Draw or have
drawn up bills containing the laws
you would have repealed, enacted or
reenacted, appoint your delegates, go
down in your jeans and bring up the
cash for expenses and be sure it's
enough to pay all expenses to the
State Capital and returnl and two
weeks board at the best hotels. Get
as many endorsers on your bill or
petition as possible. This is the way
and the only way to get what you
want.
One more point and I'm done. Bear
in mind, you who will, that the only
and most successful lawyers, doctors,
school teachers, public speakers and
men in other professions are those
who have had the most practical ex-
perience, and this same rule applies
as forcibly to our representatives in
