DIsPATCHES NEEDED EXPEDYTING
Latest New. Move. Very Slowly in Trying
to Reach Schley.


to Reach Schley.
Chadwick stated that he was in
formed of the Durport of dispatch No.
when 1t was sent to the Marblehead
for transmission to Schley, but did not
see the dispatch until some weeks lat
err, when it was ancient history. He
had drafted the dispatch sent from
Havana, which was sent about 6 p. M.
May 81, while No. 8 was sent about 8
p. m. May 90.
Lieutenant Commander S. A. Staun-
ton told how the information was OBJ
tained which was contained in the two
dispatches referred to in the foregoing.
They came to Key West to Chief Sig
nal Officer Allen, and We're sent by an
employe Of the telegraph company in
the office ut Haynna, who could only
send it about 8 p. M, when he was
alone In the office Sudden death
would probably have been his fate if
he had been caught at it, and SO Allen
exacted pledge that no one be per-
mitted to know where the news came
from but Sampson and his staff Off
GERS. 1t seems to have been conclusive
Us to Cervera's whereabouts, especially
the confirmation received on the even
ing Of May 90.
On May 81, In the morning, the wit
ness said, SIMPSONS fieet-the COM
mander-in-chief having this news
sailed for Havana, the commander be-
lieving in the cOnclusiveness of the Ha-
vana news, and off Havana about 6 p.
M Of that day Sampson called up the
Hawk and started it with the news to
find Schley and deliver 1t to him. The
witness said that the Hawk carried the
dispatch writted off Havana, but he did
not know whether No. 8 was inclosed
with this last dispatch, which was re-.
ferred to In testimony as n "memo.
randum"
Rayner commented upon the testi-
mony as follows: "rhen the confirma-
tory dispatch, as l understand it, was
received some twenty-four hours be-
fore the Hawk left with this memo
randum to Commodore Schley?" and
later in reply to remark by Hanna:
THAT is just what we want to prove
that he [Schleyl had no orders except
those contained in dispatches Nos. 7
and g." He also declared that the first
positive order Schley received to leave
Cienfuegos and go to Santiago was the
one dated May 81, and prompted by
Schley, added: HE [Schleyl got 1t
June TO-"
Hanna took the witness for redirect
examination. He began by asking if
he knew the reason for the lapse of
five or six days between the sending Of
dispatches by the Hawk and the Wasp.
To this inquiry Rayner objected, and
there was quite spirited argument on
the part Of counsel on both sides as to
the admissibility of the question.
Hanna stated in the course of his argu-
ment that the matter could be fully ex-
planned, but said that If the court OBJ
jected he would not press the matter.
whereupon Admiral Dewey remarked:
you had better not ask that ques-
ton" The last witness of the day was
Lieutenant N. c. Twining, formerly of
the Iowa. He told nothing new.

Washington, Oct. 14.-The most
notable event in the Schley case Satur-
day was the quarrel between Lemly
and Rayner. There We're remarks in
dicative Of pistols and coffee for two
and blue fire in the alley, and finally
An explanation on both sides, with the
curtain down to slow and melancholy
music. The day was rather electric, If
that is good word for condition in
which nearly everybody in the case
was on strain and ready to flash into
forked lightning, as it We're; while,
ever and anon, Admiral Dewey, presid-
ing officer of the court, would be heard
swapping out his SO frequent refrain to
the controversies of the lawyers:
"Facts, facts, facts; we want facts,
not opinions"
Tho Way the Row Eventuated.
So 1t came about that when Rayner
produced chart relative to coal con-
sumption and speed on warships, and
proceeded to read statement accom-
panying the chart Lemly declared that
| Rayner was not accurate in his read
ing; that he read things into a docu
ment instead of reading just what was
there and nothing more; that he had re
peatedly done it. Then the Maryland
lighting flashed. Rayner's face grew
red and his voice was belligerent as hi
retorted: eff he states that outside
the court will say it is false"
To which came the quick reply from
!; Lemly: "If he states that outside tn
court it is another matter, but if h
states 1t in the court it is highly i'm
proper"

Chrlstiama, Oct. 14.-There is
strong belief throughout Scandinavia
that Captain Sverdrup in the Fran
has reached the north pole and is now
returning home. Sverdrup has been
away on an expedition round Green
land forty months, and as Lieutenant
Peary did not see him north of Green
land, it is thought that the brave Nor
wegian never intended to go round
Greenland, but to reach the pole.
In the summer of 1899 Sverdrup was
on the northwest coast of Greenland.
Lincoln's sea north of that point was
free from ice the following summer,
according to Lieutenant Peary. Sci
cntists declare that in view of these
circumstances there is n strong prob
ability that Captain Sverdrup seized
the opportunity and reached the pole.
There are no fears as to the safety of
the expedition, which is provisioned for

the existence of dispatch No. 81"
"Second-Did you then, in protest
ing against the sending of this con-
gratulatory dispatch, refer to his block

Rayner asked the first question of the
witness just as he had stated 1t to the
court. The second he put this way to
the witness: did you have the block
ade Of Cienfuegos in MINI when you
protested against the sending Of the
congratulatory dispatch?'
Dewey Closed the Incident.
After Rayner had explained the
cause of his anger, and Lemly had said
he did NOT intend to be offensive Adj
miral Dewey took the floor and settled
the rumpus this way: 81 think that
ought to be enough. The statement
of the judge advocate should be
