Replying to question Capt Nc.
Gala said that Com. Schley's fleet
while off Santiago had never to his
knowledge been withdrawn to- any
distance from the harbor Of Santiago.
"Then," said Capt. Parker, "that
story, by whomsoever told, is absc-
lutely false"
ST object" shouted Capt. Lemly, in
voice as sharp as a pistol shot.
"The objection is sustained" said
Admiral Dewey. 1.-THE question is
highly improper
Lieut.-Commander w. Fl. H. Suther-
land, who commanded the converted
yacht Eagle, during the Spanish war,
followed Capt. McCalla on the witness
stand. He said that he had first fallen
in with the flying squadron on May
10, when he gave information to the
Scorpion for the commodore, his
message being as follows:
1--WE left Cienfuegos on the night of the
10th, at which time as we learned from in
surgents the only vessels inside the harbor
were two gunboats and several can-
nonieros."
his return to Cienfuegos on May "a.
and of his notifying Admiral Schley
that Cerevera's fleet was not in the
harbor there.
At this point the court took a re-
cess for luncheon.
When the court reconvened for the
afternoon session Capt. Lemly read the
l. I,
sci for Admiral Schley as to the portion
of the logs of certain vessels to be
printed.
The judge advocate then brought in
Lieut.. G. B. Barnes, cipher expert OF
the navy department, for the purpose
of explaining the discrepancies be-
tween the dispatch of Admiral Schley,
saying he could not, much to his regret,
obey the order of the department, as
it was prepared by the admiral and as
printed. by the department.
Mr.. Rayner objected to the calling OF
the witness while Commander Suther-
lands testimony was incomplete.
The court decided that on account OF
the objection Mr.. Barnes should with,
draw. He did so, and Commander
Sutherland was then.recalled.'
Mr.. Rayner in his cross-examination
brought out the fact that Lieut.. Barnes
had no knowledge whether the cipher
copy made on the Harvard is correct
reproduction OF the original Schley
message.
The witness was then excused and
the court at $3.50 p. m. adjourned unti
Monday.

The Democratic County
Ticket.

The ticket placed in nomination
Saturday is an exceptionally good one.
u. +. Shut, the nominee for repre-
sentative, is said to be man of fine
education and of good ability and un-
Improbable character. He is a farm
er residing near the village of Chester
where he located several years ago.
He may be. relied upon to represent
the agricultural interests Of the
state.
For Treasurer, the nomination was
given to Richard J. Woods, who is
popular with the people, has good
executive ability, is thoroughly reli-
able and strictly honest. The nomi-
nation came to him entirely unsoliclt-
ed, and as duty he owes those who
placed him in nomination he accepts
the nomination and will try and make
the campaign as warm as June.
For Sheriff, the people of the coun-
ty have an opportunity to retain the
services of the best sheriff in the
state in the person of A. G. Campbell,
and we believe they will not throw
the opportunity away.
For Coroner, they present to the
people the name Of DR.. j. w. Mulick,
of Elma, a successful and skillful ply
sician who has hosts of friends because
he merits them.
1t is ticl.et that no man need be
ashamed to support, not one of them
needing an apology for asking the
support of the electors of the county.
