Puebla, Mex, Sept. 2s.-Brigands
obtained entrance to the Hacienda
de la Joya, in this state, taking ad-
vantage of the hour when the work.
men reported at the office of the ha-

Lasteri fred his revolver at the
bandits and killed his assailant. Las
teri was then wounded by a machete,
but continued firing his pistol with
his left hand, when his son came to
the rescue and opened fire on the
robbers, killing four of them. Then
the band, seeing that their attempted
robbery was likely to cost them dear,
fled. The man who guided the rob!

hls testimony. MachInist Gray, who
was in charge of the starboard en-
gines on the day ohthe battle off San
tiago, also testified briefly. He said
that on the day of the battle the
starboard engines were stopped and
the machinery reversed. Capt. Wise
was questioned at considerable length
as to what he had done before the
arrival of the flying squadron of
Santiago towards locating Cervera's
feet in the harbor. He said that
while he had satisfied himself OF the
presence of the Spanish feet, he had
been content to communicate his
knowledge to Admiral Schley through
Capt. Sigsbee, not considering it nee
essary to make q direct communica-
ton with the commander-in-chief.
Lieut.. Wood gave the particulars Of
his delivery Of dispatches from Ad-
miral Sampson to Admiral Schley on
the 22d of May, while the admiral lay
off Cienfuegos. He said that Schley
seemed very nervous and especially
anxious to know what SIMPSONS In.
tentions were. He had not concluded
his testimony when the court ad.
journed for the day.

THE SCHLEY INQUIRY.
Capt. McCalla Gives Testimony That Covers
A Wide Field OF Controversy
Witnesses Admissions.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-The opinion
Of navy officers is that the Schley
inquiry will not be prolonged, but
that it will be brought to an end with
in the next two weeks. The chief
witness examined Saturday was Capt.
McCalla, whose evidence covered a
wide field OF controversy. Mr.. Ray
ner, Schley's attorney, did not take
long to demolish completely all the
captain had testified to that initiated
against Admiral Schley. For in
stance, he made it clear by the wit
ness's own statements and admis-
sions that had McCalla obeyed Samp-
sons orders and left the Eagle at
cienfuegos, Commodore Schley could
have learned from II of the discovery
Of q landing place for troops near
that port. And again. had Capt. Suth-
srland, Of the Eagle, obeyed Mccall
las orders and informed Schley by
megaphone Of the situation At Glen.

The Kidnapping Of Miss Stone.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The state de-
partment has concluded from its last
advices that there is reasonable doubt
as to the nationality of the brigands
who kidnapped Miss Ellen Stone. The
reports of the mission board have
not acquainted the department with
the present plans Of the brigands, If
that be known to them. The Off
cials of the state department do not
care to discuss the affair publicly
at this time, believing that such dis
cussion would decrease the chances
of success in the rescue of the
woman.

fuegos he would have told him Of
this landing place. Rayner made Nc
Gala admit he had not communicated
the code Of signals with the Cubans
to Schley, his reason being that he
lid not know Schley was going to
cienfuegos, but thought he was 60
ing to the Caribbean sea to find and
attack Cervera.
Mr.. Rayner showed by the witness
that Schley's blockade at Santiago
was effective and that Harber's state
ment that ships withdrew at night
vas a gross error.
In short, in the cross-examination
Mr.. Rayner succeeded in placing the
Schley contention very fully and
fairly before the court by an adverse,

Washington, Sept, 2s.-In the schley
court of inquiry Friday letter was
presented from Rear Admiral Samp-
sou asking to be allowed to be rep
resented in the court by counsel, but
the court refused to grant the re-
quest on the ground that "the court
does not at this time regard you as
a party to the case"
The principal witnesses of the day
were Lieut.. John Hood, who com
mandcd the dispatch boat The Hawk
during the Spanish war, and Capt. Nc
Gala, who was in command of the
Marblehead. The testimony of both
these officers dealt with the delivery
of dispatches from Admiral Sampson
to Commodore Schley, and both re-
lated conversations with the latter.
Capt. MoCalla gave in detail his part
in arranging n code of signals with
the Cuban insurgents and his com.
munications with them near Cienfue-
COS on May "a, 1898, when It was
learned definitely that Cervera's fleet
was not in the harbor there. He said
that Capt. Chadwick, who was Admi-
raj SIMPSONS chief of staff, was the
only person at Key West to whom he
had communicated the signal code.
Capt. McCalla expressed the opinion
that coaling was feasible off Santiago
at the time Schley began his retro.
grade movement.
Lieut.. Hood, who commanded The
Hawk, testified that he delivered or
ders from Sampson to Schley May
%, directing that the "hying squad
ron" leave Cienfuegos Immediately
for Santiago, where the Spanish feet
had been located Schlcy said to
the dispatch bearer: 81 cannot do 1t.
| am not certain that the Spanish
fleet is not in Cienfucgos." Admiral
Schley's supporters have claimed that
ne was not notified of the arrange
ment by which Cubans on shore were
to signal the presence of the Ccrvera
fleet. In the examination the defense
endeavored to bring out the truth
of that statement from the witnesses
and, to some extent. succeeded,

The BIC YACHT RACE.
The Columbia Beats the Shamrock
In the First Race.
CLOSE MARGIN SClRES AMERICANS.
II the Columbia Can Win To. Morrow New
York Club Men VIII Heave Sigh OF
Relief, - the Cup Is In Danger
Of Being Lost.

New York, Sept. 3O.--1n the first
race between the international yachts
Saturday the Columbia beat the
Shamrock. They crossed the line as
follows: Columbia, 3:31:O7; Sham
rock, 3:31:44. Columbia beat Sham
rock, corrected time, by one minute
and 20 7-1O seconds.
An anxious but determined lot of
yachtsmen gathered at the New York
Yacht club last night for talk over
Saturdays exciting race; the chances
Of the Columbia in her next contest
with the Shamrock II. tomorrow,
but. above all that dreaded ques-
ton Of the prospects of the famous
cup at last returning from whence it
came after being in American hands
a brief month over half a century.
The anxious members seemed to be
in the majority, although the grim
air of determination not to give up
the cup was quite prevalent. Every
member frankly admitted that he had
experienced something like a scare,
and no one wanted to have the CO.
lumbia win another race by so close
a margin. The bulletin board on
which was tackled the committees
brief summary of Saturdays race was
the chief attraction at the club and
before it all the evening was a group
Of more or less expert amateur skip
pers debating the question of what
the Columbia would be able to &C.
eomplish in the triangular race to-
morrow. Every one hopes for the
best and many recalled that during
the preliminary racing with the Con-
stitution and Independence the Nor
gan boat had shown much speed
when sailing with started sheets.
In the race tomorrow, if the wind
holds true, two of the legs Of the
triangle will be sailed under these
conditions. One of the legs. probably
the first, will be OF ten miles t. wind
ward the next will be a broad reach
under the large iib top sails or bal
loon iibs, while the third will be a
close fetch to the finish line. On
these two reaches all the racers have
shown great speed and the Columbia
frequently made of the ten miles of
the triangular races in something
under three-quarters of an hour. 1t
is said that the Shamrock II. has
shown good IA knot gait in reach,
which Is trifle better than the CO.
lumbia has done, but such timing can
not be considered absolutely reliable.
At any rate with a good breeze the
race on Tuesday should be a fast one.
Much will depend on the position of
the boats at the start, but at the
yacht club last night there seemed
to be the utmost confidence in Capt.
Barr, of the Columbia, despite the
fact that he was outgeneralled Sat-
urday by the skipper Of the Sham
rock II. If Capt. Barr can win Tues
days race the club men will heave a
long sigh of relief, but until that tri-
angular course contest is decided in
favor of the Columbia the cup will
be considered, if not in actual danger
of returning, at least as rocking in
its glass case in its depository.
