Stevenson Gives Testimony In His
 Suit Against Dowie.

Chicago, December 12-In the suit for the appointment of receiver for pr" John Alexander Dowie's Zion lace indus tries today Samuel Stevenson was on the stand most of the morning and continued his testimony charging Dowie with de- frauding him out of a large sum of money. Letters from the general "over- seer" to Stevenson were read.
 The plaintiffs testimony tended to show that 'Dr." Dowie used torrid words and a show of considerable feeling Ito induce Stevenson to part with his money, but that later when Stevenson learned that Dowie claimed entire ownership in the lace industries Dowie's attitude turned to one of abuse. The plaintiff testified that before he demanded his rights Dowie had abused him from the pulpit of Zion Tabernacle. and had unmercifuily f1ayed, him through in articles in Dowie's Leaves of Healing"

q am absolutely satisfied that the opin- ion of the two judges is at total variance with the opinion of the country, and that this will not by any means terminate the controversy. I shall advise Admiral Schley to fight it to a finish, to oppose it by every appeal that is possible, con- gressional or otherwise. and I believe that the sentiment of the whole country will uphold him in his resolve not to let the judgment stand"

ADMIRAL DEWEY KNOWS
 WHAT IS RIGHT"--PARKER

New York, December 14.-Captain Park CT, of Admiral Schley's counsel, said at Perth Amboy, N. J at 1 o'clock this morning;
 Until I have read the reports 7in full I cannot say more than this:
 Admiral Dewey knows what was right. He, better than any one else in the world, was qualified to consider the case. He is the one man living. besides Admiral Schley. who conducted cam paign and fought a battle with modern ships under modern conditions. He prob ably found there was a difference be- tween theory and practice, and judged

schley had no inform ation which enabled him to interpret them.
 Before sailing from Cienfuegos Com modore Schley received reliable informa- tion that ships could be coaled in the vicinity of Cape Cruz and in Gonaives channel
 The flying squadron, with the exception of the Castine, sailed from Cienfuegos about D. m. of May 24 Before midnight, owing to a heavy rolling the forward compartment of the Eagle filled with water, which reduced her speed.
 On May 25 the wind was fresh from the eastward, the weather was bad and the sea was heavy for small vessels The squadron reduced its speed to enable the Eagle to remain with it.
 On May 26 the weather improved, the wind veered to the westward and became light and the sea moderated.
 At 1:30 p. m. Commodore Schley sent the Eagle to Port Antonio to coal and then to return to Key West. At noon on May 26 the Eagle had sufficient coal to steam ten knots per hour for three days. scot , JOIN THE
 FLYING sUQADRoN.
 At 5:30 p. m. the squadron stopped twenty-two miles to the southward of the port of Santiago and was joined by the scouts Minneapolis, Yale and St. Paul.
 At p. m May 26 the engines of the collier Merrimac were temporarily dis abled. but at APO p. m. of May 27 she was able to make six knots. The broken parts of the engines were repaired at midnight of May 2S The Yale lowed the Merrimac while disabled.
 The commanding officer of the St. Paul visited the flagship in obedience to signal, took with him a Cuban pilot and had a conversation with Commodore Schley.
 Commodore Schley had no conversation with the senior commanding officer of the scouts and obtained no positive ins formantion from the scouts regarding the Spanish squadron.
 At 7:45 p. m., May 26, Commodore Schley changed the course of the flying squadron to the westward and signalled to his squadron destination Key West via. South side of Cuba and Yuoatan channel. as soon as collier is ready; speed nine knots"

"WHOLE COUNTRY KNOWS
 HEIS NO COWARD"--BROWN

Indianapolis, December 13-Rear Admi- rral George Brown, retired when asked tonight for his opinion of the verdict in the Schley case said:
 T read the original charges against Admiral Schley, of course. and made up my mind that no court would ever con- vict him of cowardice. They could not do that. The whole country knows he Is not a coward. There is not drop of cowardly blood in his veins If there were he would never have become com modore and admiral in the navy of the United States.

Schley in the light of his own experience The other two members of the court were high-minded men of the highest character, and men who would not mis- judge knowingly or willingly. They never had the experience the admiral
 had, and probably did not see things in the same light as he did. We shall leave
 the matter to the judgment of the people of the country, confident that in the just popular mind the findings of Admiral Dewey will be sustained"
 Captain Parker seemed almost as much pleased that Admiral Dewey had sus-
 tained Rear Admiral Schley as if the
 court had been unapimous in the verdict that he (Dewey) rendered.

Baltimore, December 13.-Isidor Rayner showed keen disappointment when the findings of the court of inquiry were communicated to him tonight. He an- nounced that he would go to Washing ton as soon as his engagements will per init, probably Monday or Tuesday and he will counsel Admiral Schley to fight the case to finish by every appeal that is possible.

"I did think, moreover. that the court would possibly censure him for his re- trograde movement and his tardiness in getting to Santiago. Cervera had time before the arrival of Schley to coal and get away But he did not and Schiey got there in time and did the work. He destroyed the fleet of Cervera. Tie re- suits were exactly what were being aim ed at He did what he started out to do Every one knows that. Cervera did not get away and his fleet was destroyed at Santiago"

RAYNOR WILL ADVISE SCHLEY TO
 FIGHT THE CASE TO A FINISH

"I think the country will almost unani- mously accept Admiral Deweyis judg- ment. The testimony was so overwhelm- ing upon almost every one of the specifi- cations in favor of Admiral Schley that I must confess I am utterly at a loss to understand upon what facts or upon the evidence of what witnesses the other two members of the court reached their con clusion.

HAS 5OO VAUGHAN LETTERS

Washington, December 13.-(SpeciaL)- Attorney General Knox said today that as matter of elf-preservation it would
 be necessary for the President to take up the Alabama appointments pending in the Department of Justice within a
 few days. Every mail brings letters for and against the different applicants and incumbents. The Attorney General has
 something like five hundred letters in the Vaughan case alone.
 r This gives fair idea of the efforts
 made for and against the district attor-
 ney. It is expected that the case of MT. Vaughan will be the first concluded. A settlement may be reached at any time.
 MT. Vaughan was with the Attorney General some time this morning He re- | turns tomorrow. He thinks he is very
 much in the fight for reappointment and
 his friends believe that MT. Vaughan's
 personal statement of the case to the
 Attorney General has proved an advant- age to their side. Wheeler Favors Hundiey.
 Gen. Joe Wheeler was at the Depart
 ment this morning presumably in the in> | terest of Oscar Hundley who is strongly
 endorsed for Mir. vaughan's place.
 With the Vaughan case out of the way
 the two marshalships in the Middle aue
 Northern districts will then be taken un | by the Attorney General. From the pres-
 ent outlook w.. w Thompson in ths
 Northern district and B. W. Walker ir
 the Middle district are the men the other
 applicants have to beat.
 The status of the collectorship remaing
 unchanged A vigorous fight is being | made against Bingham, and were it not | for the support of Senator Morgan he would have very little chance of holding the collectorship.

 Representative Clayton. who has talked with a number of members of the Republican side concerning proposed legislation cutting down the Congression- al representation of the Southern states gives it as his opinion that nothing vii. be done in the matter.

DEWEY'S OPINION
 PLEASING TO SCHLEY.

When the conclusions of Admiral Dewey were read to him Admiral Schley showed his pleasure and it was evident from his manner that he regarded the statement from Admiral Dewey as a vindication of his cause. He declined to make any statement concerning the courts findings, and, excusing himself from the little company which had gathered about him, he went to his apartments. where Mrs. Schley had been anxiously awaiting to hear the courts decision.
 Admiral Dewey declined to make any statement concerning the courts fnd- ings.
 He said that the court was not dissolv- ed and that he was still bound by his oath of secrecy.

memorandum which stated that a good landing place had been found by Commander McCalla thirteen and one- half miles west of Savanilla Point; that the Cubans had perfect knowledge of what was going on within Cienfuegos; that the Cuban forces in the San Juan mountains controlled the railway between Cienfuegos and Trinidad; and that there were fair roads from the landing place to Cienfuegos.

 Then Commodore Schley wrote a dis patch to the commander-in-chief in which he stated to the commandant of the naval base at Key West in which he stated ''as it is not found practicable to coal the Texas from the collier here where there Is so much swell, I shall proceed tomorrow off Santiago de Cuba being embarrassed. however by the Texas short coal supply and her inabil- ity to coal in the open sea. I shall not be able to remain off that port on &C., count of general short coal supply of squadron. so will proceed to vicinity of Nicholas Mole, where the water is smooth and can coal the Texas and other ships with what may remain.

 The flying squadron arrived off Cien- fuegos on the morning of May 22 and established a blockade. During the day the ships lay off the port at various dis tances in no particular order. At night they formed in columns of vessels, head ed off shore and moved at only sufficient speed for keeping positions The small vessels performed picket duty inshore of the large ships.

PROCEEDING IN CASE.

It is said at the Navy Department that there will be no further proceedings in the case on the departments initiative. Secretary Long and Judge Advocate Lemly positively decline to discuss the findings in any phase The secretary will simply append his signature with the word "approved'' to the whole record. The court itself recommends no further proceedings owing to the lapse of time.
 A report of the Associated Press con- veyed first information of the findings of the court to Admiral Schley. He was seated in the public reception room of a hotel, chatting with friends and several newspaper men, and showed no signs of neryousness over the outcome

''He Was the Senior Officer i'm Absolute Command" Says Dewey, "and Entitled to the Credit Due for the Glorious Victory Which Resulted in the Total Destruction of the Spanish Ships"


 Washington, December 13.-The most prolonged, interesting and independent naval tribunal ever held in this country came to a close, after having in open and secret session lasted three months, short of one week, when Secretary Long at 5 D. m. today received the findings of the court of inquiry which inquired into the conduct of Rear Admiral Schley dur ing the Santiago campaign.
 The result was a complete surprise and it is probable that no prophecy has ap- preached the truth. Instead of one report there are two. Both are signed by George Dewey, the president of the court, and by Samuel c. Lemly, the judge advocate This is form said to be recognized in all courts of inquiry the signatures of the other members not being necessary. But 1t is explained that Admiral Dewey sign ed the second report, a minority report to express his qualification of or dissent ing views as expressed by the court, comprising beside himself Admirals Ben ham and Ramsey. in the first report.
