signal to stop or back could have been
given without his knowledge.
Captain Lemly asked the witness If he
had been on the Texas when that vessel
ran aground at Newport. Raynor object
Lemly. stated that he desired to show
that the witness had misunderstood sig
nails then with disastrous results, and it
was possible he might have been mistaken
on the day of the battle. After q short
argument the court decided that the ques-
ton was not admissible.
Wells Again on Stand.
Lieutenant Wells, who was on the stand
when the court adjourned Friday, was
then recalled and testified regarding the
member the ranges at which the Brook
lyn fired, but thought 100 yards was the
shortest. He described the turn of the
Brooklyn and the chase after the Spanish
ships When the Viscaya ran ashore the
Colon was about 10000 yards ahead of the
Brooklyn, and for a time firing ceased.
He said that he had received orders to
get a quantity of rapid fire ammunition.
Owing to the character of the coast it
was expected that the Brooklyn and the
Colon would come to close quarters. He
was ordered to have this ammunition
ready to close with the Colon and give
her a rapid fire when they got close to-
gether. He then described the chase and
the surrender of the Colon. He said he
had not seen the Texas when the Brook
lyn made her turn. At one time during
the battle, he said, the Brooklyn seemed
to be alone engaging three ships.
When Lieutenant Wells finished his de-
scription of the battle the question of dis
patches was taken up.
A number Of dispatches were shown to
the witness and he was asked as to their
receipt by Commodore Schley: One from
Secretary Long to the American Consul
at Kingston, Gated Washington, May 2S,
saying that it must be delivered to Schley
unless unsafe @ for i his sauadron o fhe de- de-

HEIR To THRONE

Prince Ching and Viceroys
and Empress to Name a
Successor.

PEKING, Oct. PA new heir to the
throne will be appointed when the Dow
ager Empress meets Prince Ching and
several of the Viceroys at Kaifng, capi-
tai of the province of Honan, where
there will be a general discussion of the
affairs of the empire. This news is be-
lieved to be authentic, as it was received
from Chinese officials. The present heir
has proved to be dissipated and uncon-
trollable. Moreover his fathers status as
a baniShed Prince makes his succession
contrary to Chinese traditions, The can
didate of the Empress is said to be Petite,
a nephew of Prince Tuan and who is in
tellectually weak. He participated in the
Boxer aggreSSionS, personally leading an
attack on the French cathedral. The re-
form faction diSapproVeS OF the selection
and suggests that the powers viii oppose
it if the Empress wishes to carry it out
Prince Ching will start about November
1 from here to act as grand marshal of
the court on its journey from kaiting-
The heir to the throne is Pu Chua, son
of Prince Tuan. He was born in 1884. In
1885 Prince TUan, who had been one Of the
most powerful OF the advisers of the Dow
ager Empress, obtained the honor of haV-
ing his son named by the Emperor and a
short time afterward Pu Chun was Sc
lected as the heir to the widow Of one of
the wealthiest Manchu Princes. In the
autumn of 1898, when the Emperor was
deprived of all but nominal power, it was
announced that Pu Chun had been Sc
lecred as heir apparent to the throne.
1t was announced in November last that
Prince Tuan had fled to Kansu. He is d
Manchu of pure descent, is the grandson
of the Emperor Taouk Wang, who died
in 1850, and a nephew of the Emperor
Hean Fung, who died in 1861. Prince
Tuan's father, Prince Tung, was the most
likely heir to the throne after Taouk
Wang's death but his succession was set
aside for some reason which was not
made public.
About the middle of this year Prince
Tuan wasSaid to be fomenting an insur-
rection in Western Mongolia he was last
reported 10 be at UIumski, in Turkes tan,
to which part of the world he had been
banished as result of the part which he

FOUR AMERICAN PRELATES
ASPIRE FOR THE RED HAT
Pope Leo Is Said to Favor Having
but One Cardinal in the
United States.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-Candidates for the
purple at the consistory which the Pope
usually holds about Christmas time, ac-
cording to the Rome correspondent of the
Pail Mall Gazette, are arising everywhere
their numbers seeming to increase in pro-
portion to the distance from Rome. The
United States, for instance, besides the
candidates of long standing-Archbishop
Corrigan and Ireland, who represent two
opposite tendencies in the American Ro-
man Catholic church-has on this occasion
two additional Naspirants for the red hat
There are only four vacancies in the Col
lege Of Cardinals, and the American pre-
lates are thought to have few chances of
selection, as the Pope is credited with
determination not to have more than one
Cardinal in the United States.
