A List of the Signals Made by the
- Brooklyn During the Battle
Off Santiago.
MccAuLEY READS THEM TO THE COURT
schey's Signal Officer Thus Answers Those
Who Say That the Commander. in
Chief Was Not Directing the
Action in Detail.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 16.-The officers of
occupied the attention of the Schley
Court of Inquiry for the entire day. The
proceedings began with the recall OF
Captain Cook and Lieutenant Command
er Sears, both of whom made material
additions to THERE former testimony, and
they were followed in succession by
Commander Mason, who was the execu-
tive officer of the Brooklyn, Lieutenant
Edward McCauley, Jr., who was signal
officer and Lieutenant Chas. Webster
who had charge of the forward gun deck
battery of the Brooklyn during the battle
OF Santiago, and was a watch officer on
board that ship.
CAPTAIN Cooks new testimony related
10 The uncoupling of the Brooklyns en-
gireg, and to the voyage Of the Flying
Squadron from Cienfuegos to Santiago,
explaining in some detail the cause of
the slow progress made on that occasion.
Commander Sears spoke again of the
conversation reported as having taken
place between himself and officers of the
vessel on May 81, in which he was al
legged to have said that it had been diff
cult to get Commodore Schley up to the
point of undertaking the bombardment
oof the Colon, and he again denied that
he had said anything rejecting upon his
superior officer
Commander Mason and Lieutenants
McCauley and Webster all gave accounts
OF the engagement of July 3. Mr.. McCau-
ley recited in detail the signal made in
connection with that historical event at
the instance of Commodore Schley. When
asked if Commodore Schley had said
anything during the battle for the en-
couragement Of the men this witness re-
piled that he several times had said:
Give 'em hell bullies."
All these witnesses testified that the
conduct OF the Commodore when underc
fire was cool and courageous.
HANNA UEsTIoNS COOK.
While Capt. Cook occupied the wit
ness stand for the purpose of correct
ing his testimony, Mr.. Hanna asked him
Referring to your statement in regard
to the steam required to be kept up in
connection with the uncoupling of the
Brooklyn'S engines, tnat 1T was the or
der of the commander-in chief while
lying off Santiago on the blockade, was
that written order?''
my recollection is that it was bulle-
tin. The exact words / do not remem-
ber.'
THE particular point was with respect
to the uncoupling of the engines. Was
there anything in that order on this sub
ject and in pursuance of which that was
done?'
1T is my impression that there was.

Burlington, N. c., Oct. 16.-This has

a dive of eighty feet and trick bicycle
riding. There was balloon ascension

There was the most unprecedented at
tendance in the history of the Fair, il

NOT UNTIL JANUARY
The Operation of New Rural
Delivery Routes.
Congressman Pou is Advised of the Delay by
Post Office Authorities. Fourteen New
Routes Open Then.

The new rural free delivery routes in
this section will not be put into opera
tion until January 1st, 1902.
1t was thought that the routes would
be in operation during the present month
and Congressman Pou has worked hard to
that end, but he has received a letter
from A. w. Machen, General Superinten-
dent of the Free Delivery, informing him
that January 1st will be the earliest pos
sible date for the establishment of the
routes. In this letter, Mr.. Machen says:
'In reply to your letter of October 9th,
have the honor to inform you that the
proposed deliveries from Apex, Four
Oaks, Garner, Henderson, Liberty, Ore
Hill, Raleigh Wake Forest and Youngs-
vile, will be put into operation, if prac-
ticable, from January 1st, 1902. This is
the earliest date at which rural free de-
livery service is now being put into op-
Grafton"
There are fourteen new routes in the
county distributed as follows
In Chatham l route, Randolph /, John
ston l. Wake 6, Franklin 2, Vance 3.
Carriers have been appointed and bond
ed for these routes. In a letter to the
News and Observer few days since, Con-
gressman Pou said:
There are thirty petitions on file
asking for the establishment of Rural
| routes. Most OF these petitions have
been but recently sent in. Petitions are
| pouring into the Department at the rate
! of eight hundred per month, and there
are only fifty agents in the United States
| to make Investigations. 1t requires the
! work of one agent three days to lay off
single route and prepare hfs map and
| report. About one hundred routes per
week are all this force of fifty men can
establish. Manifestly some of the routes
must wait. The Department is trying,
however, to give every district per cent
| of the routes asked for
Congressman Pou is doing his utmost
| to extend the rural system to all parts
of the district. He deserves much credit
| for the fourteen new routes secured
which make a total of IS in the district
Mr.. Pou says he hops to have fifty routes
in the district in another year. 1t is his
earnest desire that the most remote
parts of the district may be supplied with

over two years ago and made his perma-
nent residence here. With him were his
little son, Homer, and Miss Lillian Sau-
nier, who has been untiring in her atten-
lions for his comfort and in administer
ing to his wants during all the time Of
