SUBJECT.
PLEASED WITH NOTORIETY.
General Miles seemed TO be pleased
with the notoriety which his startling
statement before the commission and his
subsequent newspaper interview gave him;
for again. on the 31st OF March, 1882 in
New York city, he published additional
charges This IEmilitary and question
able method of making in public grave
and scandalous charges regarding
brother officer and the work OF his de-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS which subsequent and
careful investigation proved both unwar-
ranted and untruc-scemed to appeal to
certain characteristics OF the major-gen-
erai commanding, to which reference here
would be out of place.
II we are to believe written evidence
to the contrary, it does not appear tina.
General Miles was even honest in making
his dilatory charges that the timed beef
was issued at the 'pretense of an expert
,nent. and that it was rot part of the
ration On the 18th OF June. 1895. his most
confidential staff officer signed q letter
by direction OF aajor-general command

Ynissary at Tampa to furnish to General.

of the army II we are to accept the
reading Of this letter as correct, It proves
that General Miles knew that canned fresh
beef was part Of the ration"

(By Associated Press,)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5-Only one ses-
sion of the Schley court of inquiry was
held to-day. An adjournment until cIon-
day was taken at 1 O'Clock, in order to
allow court and counsel to recuperate,
after an arduous weeks labor Practi-
cally the only witness OF the day was Lieu
tenant-Commander -Aibon c. Hodgson,
who was navigator Of the flagship Brook
lyn during the campaign of 1885,, and al
most his entire time was taken up with
the reading of correspondence between
himself and Admiral Schley concerning
an alleged colloquy between them during
the battle of Santiago which the
witnes was reported to have related to
a newspaper correspondent.
The correspondence has been published,
and this fact rendered the proceedings
of comparatively little popular interest.
When the court adjourned last night Com
imander Hodgson was in the hands Of
Judge Advocate Lemly, whose examina-
ton OF him partook very largely of the
nature of a. cross-examination. This was
due TO the fact that Mr.. Hodgson had
been called by both sides of che contro-
versy, and was considered even more a
,Schley witness than government wit
ness.
BROOKLYN IN BATTLE.
Captain Lemly and Mr.. Hanna con-
tlnued the inquiry for the Government
at the beginning of the sitting to-day
after which Mr.. 4Rayner began series OF
questions intended to present the Schley
side of the conduct of the Brooklyn dur
ing not only the battle Of July Sd, but OF
the entire Santiago campaign. Mr..
Hanna's inquiries We're devoted partly to
developing more. Of the details concerning
the bombardment of the Spanish ship
CristoboI Colon, on May 31st. The entire
correspondence between Commander
iiodgson and Commodore Schley was also
put in as evidence
The court began its session to-day with
the understanding that there would be
only one sitting. This agreement was
reached yesterday and was brought about
by the fact that the members of the court
and counsel find themselves grently ia
tlgued by the eSacting nature of their
work and the continuous sessions OF tho

SAMPSON TO BE SUMMONED.

missioner Whipple saw the British flag
waving in an American port he got angry
and, going aboard the Glenora, ordered the
captain to haul it down. The captain re-
fused. Deputy Sheriff Sullivan was then
ordered to arrest the audacious Britisher
and then haul down the flag Rather than
so to Jail the captain hauled down the
flag, but as soon as Whipple was gone he
jumped into the steamers dingy and was
pulled out to the Concord
The British captain was not five min
utes aboard the gunboat when a boat was
manned and, with an officer in the stern.

reached the officer and two of the men
went aboard, and in few minutes the

Concord ran the British flag up at her
fore and began firing national salute.
In this way Captain Knox did everything
in his power to make amends for the
