CASE IN
The Judge Advocate Concludes His
Evidence in the Schley Inquiry
Tho Defense of the ~Rear-Admiral Begins
Captain Cook Assumes Responsible
ify For the BrcolIyn's Loop.

Washington, D. C.-Judge Advocate
Lemly finished his presentation OF
testimony in the Schley inquiry, and
Mr.. Rayner put on the stand the first
witness for Rear-Admiral Schley,
This was Eduardo Nunez, the Cuban
pilot, who gave testimony to show
why Schley did not believe the Span,
iards were at Santiago. He said that
when he went on board the Brooklyn
he told Schley that the Spaniards
were probably not in the harbor, be,
cause vessels Of that size could not
get in. The water was not deep
enough and the channel was too mar
row.
Nunez also testified that on July 1
Schley sent him to the Cuban camp
to find out whether any Spanish
ships but the Colon were there, and
he got from the Cubans a list of the
vessels in the harbor. He reported
this to Schl&y, who ordered him to
report 1t to Rear-Admiral Sampson,
who had arrived.
The lasc witness for the Govern
ment was Albert Beall, who served
as a volunteer officer during the war
and was n lieutenant on the Harvard.
He testified to the dates on which
Captain Cotton received his dis
patches and cleared up the mystery
attending Schley's "d~isobedience OF
orders dispatch. In the Navy De
partment publications this appears as
a defiant and almost insolent dispatch
from Schley.

and indicated that he and 9 his cap
tains had labored hard t, obey the
orders. but had been pr1ISented by
physical conditions. Me- Beall eN-
planned this difference. Vie was the
officer who turned the dispatches into
cipher. In doing so he dld taot always
use the exact language given him, nut
sought to give the same result by
using equivalent phrases which were
easier to put into cipher. 4dn this way

good faith, gave the dfIltch the de-

PACKING FOR FOR ASIA MINOR.
Better transportation Facilities

Better Transportation Facilities
Needed From Coast Island.
The State Department today made pub
lie report from Thomas H Norton. the
United States Consul al Harput. Armenia,
regarding the increased demand for
transportation facilities in Asia Minor.
The consul gives some interesting in
formation as to the primevaI methods of
carrying freight in that part of the world.
He says:
The question Of transportation from
the coast to the inland cities Of Asia
Minor is of prime Importance il connec-
ton with all efforts to establish trade
relations at these points. especially at
such centres as Harput and Diarbekr, far
removed from the seaboard. i wagon
road extends from Samsoun, On the Black
Sea. TO both these points. and vehicles
make the journey in little over fort
night. The bulk of the traffic. however,
from Samsoun, as well as all the trans
portation from the Slightly nearer port Of
AIexaUdretta, on the Mediterranean, is
by means of camels, heFse, and mules.
Out Of 12,e00 loads Of merchandise re-
ceived annually at Harput and Mezreh,
but $50 are wagonIoads.
In order to insure the lowest possible
freight rates, it is essential for foreign
exporters TO adapt the size and weight of
their packages, as far as practicable, to
the local requirements The following
information and suggestions may be help
full 10 those who are endeavoring to gain
a foOthOld for their wares in Central and
Eastern Turkey.
This is available for freight forward

only means Of transport, and the route
the only means of communica ton avail
able for packages exceeding go pounds in
weight Wasoners are unwilling to take
packages exceeding so pounds. Such
packages as well as light packages OF
large or awkward volume, pay excess
freight. The maximum weight of a pac51-
age which can be transported By wagon
is 1.415 pounds
AS an instructive example of freight
charges on goods from abroad. I might
quote the following data on q recent con

charge from Samsoun 90 Harput was $50,
the rate being slightly higher than usual
on account OF the presence Of two very

The necessity for very compact and
tight packing is less imperative than by
the preceding meth6d; the range of
weight Is, however, much E-ore restricted.
