Siasbee Was on the Stand.
Captain Charles d. Sigsbee, who
commanded the scout ship st. Paul
during the Spanish war, was called.
He said that in obedience to orders
from Captain Wise, who was his COM
manding officer, he had proceeded to
the vicinity of Santiago, arriving
there on the 21st. His instructions
were to report to Commodore Schley
that the Spanish squadron probably
was in Santiago harbor. He fell in
with the flying squadron on the even
ing of May rs, the squadron then be-
ing 20 or rs miles south of Santiago.
He had reported to Commodore
Schley that he knew nothing posi-
lively" about the Spanish feet.

Chief Yeoman Gustave e. Becker.
who served as clerk to Admiral
Sampson on board the flagship New
York during the Spanish war, was
called. He identified the memoran-
dunn from Captain McCalla. saying
there was good landing place near
Cienfuegos. which Admiral Sampson
sent to Commodore Schley under date
oil May 10, and said that this memo
randum had been carried in duplicate

hayner questioned the witness very
closely, bringing out .the fact that
Becker had no records to show that
either OF these vessels had carried

pendent upon his memory In making
the statement
Were There Four Copies?
Mr.. Hanna said in this connection
that the department expected to be

Commodore Schley. Mr. Rayner re-
sponded that he would admit only one
copy and thai was the copy delivered

ships on portion of those Of the

London, Oct 2.-within two weeks the war in South Africa will have entered upon It's third year and In the face Of a recrcdescence of organized operations by the Boers and of the impossibility of carrying out Mir Broderick's promise to some troops the government organs are again becoming restless.
 There Is a mystery surrounding the op- eratfons and the whole situation in Na- tai and the deniala and evasfons of the War Onice concerning the alleged fric- ton between Mir. Broderick and Lord Kitchener form the subject of editorial
 We have the right to expect" says The Standard. that the government will lose no time in sending out such ample achievements as the military chiefs on the spot deem necessary"
 The Daily Mall which finds evidence that Lord Kitchener is in difficult pre- dicament and fears that the government is delaying achievements out of desire to avoid summoning Parliament to vote the necessary supplies, warns the gov ernment that if this be the case grave risk Is being run. Similar protests are made on all sides.
 The Times, after reminding the gov miscalcuiations which have cost the em- pire such terrible price," says: "A. third campaign has TOW opened in South Af- rica and there is no sign that the gov ernment ts doing anything to prepare for possibly dragging out of the war for sev- eral months more. Already it is too late to provide such a mobile force as would ernment doing anything to provide. 1t even three months hence and If not what possible excuse can the government urge for this neglect:"
