sCHLEY,s FIRST REPORT.
The Original One Sent to Sampson
and Suppressed.

Washington, Oct Silt is learned that
the original and unpublished report of
Admiral Schley of the battle off San
tiago to Admiral Sampson, referred to
in the proceedings before the court of
inquiry, was of a preliminary character
and differed from that subsequently
made in that it omitted mention alto
gether of the cruiser New York, and
that it also requested that the latter
admiral Sampson) have the command
ing officers or captains of the vessels
engaged transmit to him (Schley) their
detailed accounts of the action in order
that he might write a full and complete
official report of the battle.
The suppressed preliminary report
made by Admiral Schley is dated off
Santiago, July g." and is addressed to
Admiral Sampson, commander-in-chief
of the North Atlantic station The re-
port in substance describes the coming
out of the Spanish fleet from the har-
Dor of Santiago, and calls attention to
the fact that signals were made to the
vessels of the American fleet, which
were observed by all the ships. 1t then
proceeds to describe the fight, and gives
briefly the part played in it by each one
OF the SHIPS, showing that the Brooklyn,
the Oregon, the Texas and the Iowa re-
manned in action until the ViZcaya went
ashore, and that the Colon surrendered
to the Brooklyn and the Oregon The
admiral commends the bravery of all
the American officers and crews en-
gagged in the fight and commends the
commanding officers for gallant and
meritOriOuS conduct and for the superb
handling of their ships.
Then follows some routine matter
giving the Spanish losses, the injuries
to the American fleet and the casualties
1t then asks that Admiral Sampson have
the commanding officers transmit to him
admiral Schley) their detailed accounts
of the action, in order that he might
write a full and complete and official
report of the battle.
When the judge advocate finished the
cross examination of Admiral Schley
the court propounded to the admiral "a
questions prepared by the members of
the court. These questions touched
many points of the campaign of the
flying squadron, but mainly centered
about the difficulties encountered in
coaling and the reasons for the retro
grade movement. Not one of them re-
lated to the Battle of Santiago.
One of the most interesting features
of the cross examination was the de-
velopment of the fact that the report of
the battle written by Admiral Schley,
July g. 1898, was not the original report.
The original report never has been pub
liShed, and. in accordance with pre-
vious decision the court declined to per-
nit it to go into the record. Admiral
Schley was allowed to explain, however,
that Admiral Sampson declined to re-
ceive the first report because it did not
mention the presence of the New York.
Il felt that the victory at that time"
said Admiral Schley in explaining the
matter, was big enough for all, and I
made this change out of generosity and
because 1 knew if the New York had
been present she would have done as
good work anybody else"

APPENDICITIS.
Some Facts Regarding Its Rapid Increase

Appendicitis among Americans is GER
tainly increasing and while this is
probably due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, it is
more often directly traceable to con-
stipation. Appendicitis is caused by ex-
traneous matter entering the vermiforn
appendix and not by the swallowing of
seeds. If the digestive organs are kept
in perfect condition so the food is duly
assimulated and the bowels move gent
ly, at least once a day, appendicitis will
never develop Don't take chances

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Baby Lund was greeted by a small
audience at the Crawford last night
where she appeared In 1.-The Gypsy
Princess
Bay Lund has lost none of her charms
with age She is a year older than
when she was seen here for the first
time and when she made such a decided
impression on Topeka audiences. Little
Miss Lund has the same saucy little
wink that many an older soubrette
would like to initiate So far as Baby
Lund is concerned the entertainment is
pleasing. There is no play attached TO
the name THE Gypsy Princess" Any
other name could just as well have been
used for the performance is a collection
of specialties- Baby Lund's specialties
were the hits of the evening. There were
two other mum ers on the programme
that won plenty of applause. The club
juggling of the Walter Beemer family
of four was wonderful. The sleight of
hand by Ziska the mysterious, was
good The rest of the performers were
bad
A year ago Baby Lund was seen here
at 10. 20 and 80 cents and the opera
house was filed for every performance.
Last night the prices were rs, go 30 and
26 cents and the house was small.
