from Scotland fully 200 years ago. His
grandfather, Daniel Mckinley, was q
soldier in the revolution, distinguished
Tor gallantry at Brandywine, German.
town and Monmouth. His father was
an Industrious, sensible and prosper.
GUS iron manufacturer. who died in
1892 at the age Of IS; his mother is
still living at Canton, Ohio, at the ad.
vanced age of 81. Young Mckinley
was educated at the public schools
and at the Poland (Mahoning county,
academy, and attended for q short
time the Methoulst college at Meade
willie, Pa.
In June, 1861. he enlisted In the
Twenty-third Ohio volunteer infantry
Az private soldier. On September
"a, 1862. he was promoted to second
lieutenant; on February z; 1863. to
first lieutenant; ON July Is, 1854. to

President Lincoln for gallant and
meritorious services at the battles of

President Hayes and Major General
Crook. and after Crooks capture he
served for time on the star Of Major
General Hancock and subsequently on
the stan Of General Samuel 8. Carroll.
He was with the famous Twenty-third
In all its battles. and was mustered

At the close of the war Mckinley re-
turned to Ohio. studied law. opened an
ONCE In Canton. Stark county, in 1857,
and IN 1869 was elected prosecuting
attorney of Stark county.
He was elected to congress In 1876
and served continuously In the house
OF representatives until March, 1891
IL years In all-except part OF his
fourth term. when he was unseated

Governor Of Ohio.

Mckinley was out Of congress. but
not out of politics, because the repub.
licans Of Ohio would not let him re.
tire to private life. They had a demo.
cratic administration, with a popular
governor, and they needed a strong
man to defeat him. They began to
talk about Mckinley as the candidate,
and when the convention assembled
IN June. 1891, it had only to ratify the
cho1ce OF the people by nominating
Mckinley by reclamation.
Then followed one of the most mem.
orable campaigns ever waged in the
buckeye state. Mckinley began his
campaign the first of August. and for
three months he travelled night and
DAY, making from two to a dozen
speeches day, until he had visited
every county in the state. His cam.
palgn was on national issues, on the
tarih, on protection. and eloquently
and passionately did he defend his
principle.
His election as governor of Ohio
was by handsome majority.
In 1892 there were calls for McKin.
ley everywhere in the campaign. He
had presided at the national conven.
ton. and refused to allow his name to
be voted for in two conventions. He
was the idol Of the hour. He spoke
IN Maine. Massachusetts, New York.
Pennsylvania. Michigan, Illinois, Indi-
ana. Missouri and Kansas, but the
party went down to defeat again.
AS governor of Ohio, Mckinley had
opportunity to develop his executive
talent, and he made such a record that
he was renominated by reclamation in
1893, and elected by the largest ma.
1ority, with one exception, ever given
in the state.
President Of United States.
He was delegate at large to the ma.
tional republican convention and a
member of the committee on resolu.
tons in 1884, and supported James
G.. Blaine. He was also delegate to
the national convention of 1883, sup.
porting John Sherman, and was chair.
man of the committee on resolutions.
He was delegate at large to the con
ventiOn Of 1892, and was made its
chairman. He received 1872 votes for
president, but refused to allow his
name to be considered, supporting the
denomination Of Benjamin Harrison.
He was nominated for president of
the United States at the national re-
publican convention at st. Louis June
Is, 1896. receiving 661 out of total
OF 905 votes.
He was elected in November, 1896,
by popular plurality of Co., 900 votes,
and received 6s1 out of a total ofu
and received 271 electoral votes
against 176 for William Jennings
Bryan.
June 20. 1900, at the national repub.
lican convention at Philadelphia he
was renominated for president and in
November was reelected. His popu-
lar vote over Bryan was 849,455 and
over all was 446.718. He received 292
votes Of the electoral college, as
against 155 for William Jennings
Bryan.

ness had first come into contact with
the flying squadron on May l9, 1898.
When he was proceeding from the
south coast OF Cuba to Key West he
met the squadron on it's way to Cuba.
Witness said he had not been asked
b come aboard the Brooklyn for the
purpose OF making a report on condi
tons in Cuba. but had made full re.
port 20 Captain Chadwick, Admiral
Simpsons chief of staff, when he ar
rived at Key West. On this point he
said.
IN addition to written reports or dis
patches which carried, explained To
the chief of stan the secret code which
l had established with the Cubans
near Cienfnegos. That was not done
until l heard that Commodore Schiey
was proceeding to Cienfuegos."
ITO whom. according TO the best Of
your recollection. did you communicate
that secret code Of signals?" asked Mr.
Rayner
Code Only Told to Chadwick.
"Only to Captain Chadwick chief OF
stan, was the reply.
Captain McCalla next told of his re.
turn to Cienfuegos on the oath Of
May with dispatches for Admiral
Schley. He said:
1T had been reported authoritative.
ly in Key West on the 18th of May.
and when | sailed on the afternoon
of the 21st of May. that the Spanish
squadron was still at Santiago"
And you communicated that infor.
nation to Commodore Schley yer.
bally?"
Commodore Schley told me he
thought the Spanish squadron was in
Cienfuegos; that he had received news.
papers from the steamer Adula some
days previous; that one of the news
papers contained a cable dispatch from
Santiago, and from that he gathered
that the Spanish force under Admiral
Cervera might have sailed from San
tiago in time to reach Cienfuegos just
before the arrival of the force under
his command. I said that had brought
arms. ammunition and dynamite for
the Cuban camp to the westward, and
that if he would let me go would find
out at once whether they were in
Cienfuegos. lie Immediately as.
sented"
Mccalla Tells About cervera.
Captain McCalla then related how
he had gone ashore near Cienfuegos
and found the Cubans drawn up in
line. He gave them food and ammuni-
tion. I'VE found" he added. chat Ger
vera was not inside the harbor, and
that in fact the situation in Cienfue-
gos was exactly as it was when left
it on the 10th of the same month"
Captain McCalla said he sent the IN
formation obtained to Admiral Schley
by the Eagle. signaling that vessel to
proceed at full speed and report to the
Brooklyn that Cervera was not in Glen
fuegos. II followed on board the Mar
blehead, and of course confirmed to
Admiral Schley the fact that Admiral
Cervera's fleet was not In Cienfuegos.

instructions for Commodore Schley.
During the conversation the commo-
dOre asked ME to read the instructions,
and after l had read them he asked me
what I thought he had better do. Pre-
vious to this he had said that he could
not coal off Santiago that the English
had demonstrated that ships could not
coal at sea. He also said that il he
returned to Key West he would be
court-martialed. 1t was after this that
he handed me the orders, which
