DRoUTH CONTINUES
 SEVERE IN KANSAS

Topeka, Kan, July &.-The temperature was not quite 30 high today, averaging about 100 for the entire State. flower, not the least relief has come from the drouth The atmosphere has been very humid and numerous prostrations are re- ported from various parts of the State. The corn crop is in worse condition than ever and it will be surprising if one-third of a crop is obtained Many of the farm CTS are cutting it for fodder. If 1t were not for the fact that there are many thou sands of bushels of last years crop in the State, the outlook for the stockmen would be serious indeed. The people are devoting their attention to obtaining wa- ter to drink. Some towns are in sore straits. A week ago they reported scarci- ty of stock water Now some report that the supply of drinking water Is almost exhausted. Streams. ponds, and wells are going dry. Only the towns having wa ter works have a sufficiency of water for every day purposes and as the water plants are dependent on the streams for their supply. this too will soon be short ened.

had occasion to pass upon any question that involved either Sampson or Schley In any personal aspect.
 He was one of Schley's personal friends when he Qsemley) was in active line serv- ice. He accompanied Schley on the fa- nous Greedy relief expedition and he rem dered valuable services to him on that oc- casion, which service the senior officer recognized. On the other hand. Captain Lemley has known Sampson officially in the Navy Department when the admiral was at the chad of the ordnance bureau, and they thus were thrown into close con- tact, from business point of view, for several years. Captain Lemley was judge advocate of the Jeanette court of in- quiry.
 The precept to the court probably will be issued tomorrow. It promises to be a rather extended statement of the scope of the inquiry. Whether it will direct the court to return an opinion or simply to ascertain the facts, Secretary Long thus far declines to state Secretary Long was disappointed to learn that Rear Admiral Kimberly would be asked to be relieved on account of i'll health. Ii declines, Rear Admirals Luce, Ramsay, Jouett, Gherardi or Walker may be named to take his place.

SAMPSON TEARFULLY
 REPLIES 10 CAPTAIN EVANS

Boston Mass, July c5.-With tears in his eyes and tremor in his voice. Rear Admiral William T. Sampson, falling old man, replied to the latest charge which was made constructively against him by Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans In reply to the latter's suggestions that Sampson had been guilty of a conspiracy against Schley, by withholding from hiin the signals which had been arranged Tor joint action at the projected naval bat tie of Cienfuegos. Rear Admiral Saihp- son said
 q did give orders through Captain Mc- Calla. I remember having communicated the signal code to every member or the fleet The signal arrangement was 10 pc made known to the rebels on shore dt Cienfuegos to communicate with Admiral sehlev. I have every reason to believe that the signals were so communicated. Of course, Schley may have misunder- stod them. I had not the slightest desire to rob a brother officer of the chances of victory, and I always treated Schley with all due professional and personal cour- tesy I certainly had no desire to keep Schley from participating in the naval engagement that had been planned off Cienfuegos."
 Admiral Sampson spoke with full heart as he walked slowly and With an unmistakably feeble step through one ol the paths at the Charleston navy yard. His face was pale and drawn as of uran in the clutches of a wasting disease and 1t was with shrug of pititul weari- ness that he continued:
 "The only defense that my enemies can have for the attacks upon me is their unsuitable malice
 Rear Admiral Evans is quote as say ing that had Schley known the signal code he could have got away thirty-six hours earlier. I should say that it would have taken Schley about that length of time to get away"
 Here the admiral's voice strengthened as he spoke up:
 "All was wrong win Schley from the first moment that he had anything to do with the naval department that ended in the annihilation of the Spanish fleet off Santiago. Yes, from the very begin ming. There never was a real misunder- standing of the orders. It is only part of a general plan. A misunderstanding there never was and never could have been. I know that the rebels did not fail to carry out their orders to communicate by code to Schley. Any plea that Schley did not receive the code cannot be taken seriously. The only absolute way to obtain a final and official ruling upon this and kindred contentious by my enemies Is for Admiral Schley to demand a court of inquiry which would be in position to have access to all the evidence and which will consequently be in a position to deliver a final judgment"

 Sir Wm. Brodbent declined to say how far Prof. Koch's statement might be cor rect, in view of the fact that tuberculosis while generally decreasing, was on the in- crease among children.
 Dr. Edward Neuman of Davos-Plat1, one of the Swiss delegates, said that Prof. Koch was already prepared to meet the objections of Lord Lister.
