said rich church city parsonages in that
way could be taxed While the humble

(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-The Schley
court of inquiry made good headway
again to-day, concluding with Admiral
Evans and hearing three new witnesses,
although the testimony of one Of them
was not concluded when the court ad-
journed tor the day. The new witnesses
were Captain Sigsbee, who commanded
the scout ship st. Paul during the Santi-
ago campaign; Thomas M. Deuaide, a
newspaper correspondent, who was on the
Texas during the battle of July Sd, and
Chief Yeoman Gustave E. Becker, who
was 81 clerk to Admiral Sampson during
the war.
General sympathy was expressed on the
part of members of the court and those
in attendance with Judge-Adyocate Lem
5ly because of the death of his sister,
which occurred yesterday. Captain Lem
ly was present when the court convened,
but Immediately withdrew.
Admiral Evans then took the stand
to complete his testimony, which
was interrupted by yesterdays adjourn
ment. Mr.. Rayner began his interroga-
t!ons by asking the witness concerning
the secret code of signals for communi-
eating with the Cuban insurgents near
Cienfuegos. The Admiral said that when
Captain Chadwick communicated this
code with him he did not instruct him to
give the information to Commodore
Schley.
PREPosTERoUs ON FACE OF IT.
He then asked: 'sDid you have a con-
versation with Commodore Schley on
July 4th, on his flagship at Santiago. in
the course of which YOU said Did you
know that Jack E1lilip started to run
away at the beginning of the battie?'
and to which Commodore ScF,ley- 5rsnlied ::
You are mistaken about that Evans;
saw nothing of the kind; the Brooklyn
made a turn and you must see the tacti-
cal situation that made it necessary
"I do not remember being on board the
Brooklyn on the 4th of July. I think it
was the 5th at Guantanamo as to the
conversations: I never said anything to
the effect that Captain Philip had run
away, or attempted to run away I think
Commodore Schlevs and I discussed the
position of the Texas when the fight be-
gan. But that ever intimated that Can

TOO GREAT A RISK.

There was a general talk about the
Spanish fleet having been located at last
at Santiago. do not think it was in the
nature of a conference. do not recol-
lect now that the officers were asked to
express any opinion I remember having
conversation with Commodore Schley
about the effect of the fighting batteries
on the ships, III which I expressed the
opinion to him that it was not worth
while to risk ships fighting shore bate
ries alone.
TN the case under consideration, the
Spanish ships We're present in the harbor
and we would have to take the risk of
the fire from the batteries In order to get
at them. Commodore Schley remarked
before we left that he felt that the coun-
try held him responsible; that the ships
should not be rislSed under the fire of the
shore batteries until the Spanish fleet

Not What They Expected.

of a southbound express were eight
people. Seven of the number were
quietly reading, when suddenly the
eighth broke into deep and blood
curdling groans. Horror stricken,
the rest gazed at him for mo-
ment, and then one of them, with
great presence of mind, produced a
brandy flask and, pouring out CO.
pious draught, forced it on the suf-
ferer. It was quickly disposed of.
''How do you feel now ?" inquired
one of the company.

"It was skate and it covered two

THE SULTANS OF SULU.
Their Graves Dot the Mountains OF
the Archipelago.

Zone of the curious spectacles of
the Sulu archipelago, in the Philip
pine Islands, is the grave where the
first sultan of the islands lies
buried" said H. f. Hopkins, dis
charged soldier on his way to Peo-
ria.
cit lies at the top of steep
mountain about five miles outside
the little walled city of Jolo, the
capital Of the Mohammedan people
in the Philippines. The mountain
is visible for great distance. ips
coming into the remote port catch
sight of it before another point Of
land is visible. It attracts attention
because it is one of the BALD noun
tains of the Philippines that is,
there is almost no growth on it. 1t
looks like shaver lawn in the dis
lance, though, as a matter of fact,
there is grass Of many years growth
upon it's slopes, so thick and high
that a man can with difficulty make
way through it. On the crest
there is one little tuft of trees. They
look like bushes at a distance,
though: one with an experienced eye
makes allowances.
ct once formed one of detail that
set out to reach that mountain top.
We had no reason to make the trip
other than that it looked attractive
and hard to attain. It was half a
days trip up the steep slopes, and
when we reached the top we found
a small grove, with solitary grave
in the shadow of the trees. It was
surrounded by little line of rocks,
and there were quite fresh pieces of
white cloth hung in a horizontal
position above the mound. These
were kept in place by tying them to
tree trunks near by. Natives had
seen us laboring to our high posi-
ton, and had followed to see that
we did not desecrate the grave.
''From these we learned that it
was the grave of the first sultan of
the Sulus, and that the cloth had
been renewed regularly since he had
been laid there as a preventive
against evil spirits. We learned
later that there is scarcely a noun
tain in the archipelago that does
not have its sultan's grave. st
