German Captain Would Strengthen
Fleet to Defy America.

Berlin, Oct. 28.-During an address
at a recent meeting Of Fleet society
in Hanover, Captain Won Weltheim,
Of the German navy, is represented
to have said: "Germany's interests
in five republics Of Central America,
in view Of American competition,
can only be maintained when we have
a feet strong enough to say to Amer
leans, Hands off,"
This declaration was received with
stormy applause. The papers gener-
ally ignore it; and Freisinnige lei
tung observes: "There is a species
of political mischief making which,
while not punishable under the penal
code, is none the less calculated to
apprehension"

Washington, Oct. 2S.-The cross
examination Of Admiral Schley be-
gan today before the court of inquiry
and hardly more than a third Of the
ground was covered when court ad-
journed at 4 o'clock. After Admiral
Schley concludes tomorrow two other
witnesses will be called in his behalf,
Admiral Barker and Captain Thos.
Borden. The latter was officer Of
the marine corps on the Brooklyn.
The judge advocate then will call
his witnesses in rebuttal, Of whom
there are understood to be more than
Is and it is probable that Admiral
Schley's council will call witnesses
in ~sub-rebuttal.
The crowd present today while
hardly as large as on Friday, when
Admiral Schley told the story Of the
battel Of Santiago showed undated
interest in the proceedings. Nothing
sensational developed, and the only
outburst in the court occurred when
Mr.. Rayner, Admiral Schley's coun-
sci objected to the line Of inquiry Of
the judge advocate designed to criti-
else Admiral Schley's alleged failure
to formulate a plan Of battle, with
the declaration that as Admiral Samp-
son was in command his Junior had
no right to plan an order Of battle.
Admiral Schley concluded his direct
examination, which continued only
about ten minutes after the court
convened this morning, with a state
ment of the effect Of the fire Of the
respective fleets at Santiago, show
ing that SO per cent Of the hits suf-
fered by the enemy were scored by
his ship received 20 per cent Of the
hits from the Spanish guns. Cap
tain Lemly's cross examination was
very searching. Admiral Schley,
however, appeared to be unrufled
throughout the examination, frankly
admitting on several occasions that
he could not remember little details
after the lapse of three years. One
line Of inquiry which the judge adj
vocate tried to press, to show that
Admiral Schley did not proceed with
dispatch" from Key West to Glen
fuegos by attempting to contrast the
speed made between Charleston and
Key West with the time made be-
tween Key West and Cienfuegos was
curtailed by decision Of the court,
which confined the questions to the
time subsequent to May 10, the day
on which the flying squadron left Key
West.
The judge advocate in his cross
animation dwelt upon the interview
between Admiral Sampson and Com
modore Schley at Key West before
the departure Of the flying squadron,
at which the latter testified that Ad-
miral Sampson instructed him not to
expose his ships to shore batteries un-
til the Spanish fleet had been destroy
ed; on the fact that Admiral Schley
issued 10 written order Of battle; on
the question of coaling off Cienfuegos
and the steps Schley took there to
ascertain the presence Of the Spanish
fleet. He was cross examining the
witness upon matters connected with
the cruise of the squadron from Glen.

The ore is grey copper and is
almost identical in appearance

The outcrop is located in the
