QUESTION THE TORPEDO WEDGE.
Navy Men Say the Form alton Only Makes
Fine Target.

OYSTER Bay, n. Y. Aug. ls.--Nothing
official was heard here to-day about the two
torpedo boats, the Barry and the Deca-
tur, which were disabled In yesterday
maneuvres or about the other three de-
stroyers in Lieut.. Chambers fotilla, which
were ordered to accompany the injured
boats TO the Brooklyn navy yard. 1t was
reported at the executive Offices, however,
that the destroyers, instead Of going to
Brooklyn. as ordered by Admiral Dewey.
were on their way to Norfolk.
It could not be explained satisfactorily
why the Admiral's order was not obeyed,
for the order was not. II is said, counter
manded by him. 1t was suggested that
one Of the destroyers may have set out
after the rest of the feet, which was only
seven or eight miles up the Sound when
the accident occurred, and notified Rear
Admiral Barker Of the mishap, AS COM
mander of the fleet, the Rear Admiral, it is
thought, may have taken 1t upon himself
to countermand the order given by Admiral
Dewey and have directed the destroyers
to go to Virginia.
Not much is said here about the accident
The President, it is said. considers 1t as
one Of the mishaps which are liable to occur
at any time in the chances which torpedo
boat destroyers must take In manGuvring.
The practicability Of the wedge forma-
ton which the boats were trying when the
accident occurred is, however. questioned
by some navy men here. II was said at
the time of the manouvres that the purpose
of the formation was to increase the chances
of getting destroyer within working
range of vessel If one of the boats in
the wedge was disabled, the others, 1t was
said, would go on just the same.
Navy men here, though, give 1t as their
opinion that a l0-pound shell fred into
the formation would smash it completely
and would probably be the cause Of dis
abling, not one vessel, but all OF them.

Missing Another Attempt to Get IL.

The Rev. Mr. ThOmpsOn's Evidence StiM
MISSING Another Attempt to Get IL.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.The supplemental
report from Col, E. A. Darlington, Inspector
General OF the Department Of the East,
on his investigation Of the contracts made
by the Office of the Quartermaster- General
for gloves for the army was received this
morning at the War Department and re-
ferred to Secretary Root,
The report consisted Of a copy Of the
testimony OF H. T. Patterson, a repre-
sentative of John Wanamaker, whose
testimony Col. Darlington failed to secure
in the first Investigation, and letter from
Col. Darlington explaining why he did not
this time secure the testimony Of the Rev
7. c. Thompson, the executor Of the estate
Of William Topp, who was absent when
the inspector visited Gloversville.
No information could be obtained at the
War Department to-day in regard to Mr..
Patterson testimony II was learned that
Col. Garlington's excuse for not making
an examination Of the Rev. r. C. Thompson
was that Mr.. Thompson is in Vermont, and
Col Darlington did not consider that the
orders received by him from the War De-
partment contemplated his going up to
Vermont to examine the witness.
All Of this was explained in Col. CARING
toms letter, which was referred to Secre-
tayr Root for consideration. Secretary
Root had not decided late this afternoon
whether he would have Col. Darlington
wait for the return of Mr.. Thompson to
Gloversville before taking his testimony
or whether he would authorize the travel
OF the Inspector General to where Mr..
Thompson is in Vermont.
The opinion Of the officials of the War
Department was that Secretary Root would
issue another order providing for Col
Garlington's mileage to Vermont, and
thus enable him to examine Mr. Thompson
These are the two witnesses who Cen
Davis recommended should be examined

Question Raised by the Fact That Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Secretary Moody and
Admiral Dewey All Witnessed Accident
Navy Men Condemn Wedge Formation

WASHINGTON, Aug. lS.--Admiral Barker,
commanding the North Atlantic squadron,
and the officials Of the Navy Department
are asking the question. "Who shall order
a court of inquiry into the torpedo-bOat
collision at Oyster Bay yesterday
President Roosevelt, Secretary Moody
and Admiral Dewey witnessed the collision,
and a telegram received at the Bureau Of
Navigation to-day from Lieut.. Chandler,
commanding the first torpedo boat flotilla,
reported his departure with the Decatur,
cambridge, Chauncey, Dale and Barry for
Norfolk, "by order Of the Secretary Of the
Navy"
The receipt OF this despatch and, later, one
caused a lively exchange OF views among
officers OF the Department az TO who should
order the court Of inquiry to investigate
the mix-up that resulted from the attempt
OF the torpedo boats to execute flying-
wedge manouvre for the amusement OF
the President and his friends.
just how badly the colliding ships are
injured cannot be ascertained until they
are docked at Norfolk, but there seems
to be- no question that q court of inquiry
should be ordered.
1t was said at the Department this after
noon that Rear Admiral Barker thought
the Secretary of the Navy should order the
court because he was present and there
fore in command OF the naval vessels.
Tt is even said that President Roosevelt,
as Commander-in-C Chief OF the military
forces of the United States, was also in
command and that they should not expect
Admiral Barker to order a court of inquiry
when he was not present and knew nothing
of the accident. The officials here explain
that tho actual command Of the squadron
was vested in Admiral Barker and that the
presence OF the Secretary Of the Navy
does not in any way relieve him of this

Until Monday the floating secret was

STILL HOPE FOR CANAL TREATY.

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
Colon. Aug ls.The rejection of the
Panama canal treaty by the Colombian
Senate at Bogota has caused much dis
satisfaction here and elsewhere on the
Isthmus 1t is stated that when the
Senators learned that the United States
would reject any modification of the treaty
made by them they unanimously decided
to refuse to ratify the convention
1t appears that Congress seeks to throw
responsibility in the matter upon President
Marroquin's government and will pass
law authorizing him to arrange new con-
ditions that will be acceptable to both
countries
WASHINGTON, Aug, ls.-The official state
ment was made at the State Department
this morning that the action Of the Senate
OF Colombia is not regarded in any sense
az n rejection of the Panama Canal treaty
by Colombia 1t is further explained that
the combined action of the Colombian
Congress and the Executive ia necessary
either to ratify or reject the treaty. and az
yet the Colombian House has not acted
adversely. Reports from Bogota indicate
that when the treaty does come to vote in
the House there will be an overwhelming
majority in favor of it.
Under these circumstances the officials
Of this Government are not 10 much con-
cerned over the final outcome Minister
Herran of Colombia continues optimistic,
and advices received at the State Depart
ment from United States Minister Beaupre
confirm the belief that President Mario
quin and the Colombian House will continue
to favor the treaty. 1t ia thought that
when the Senators see the strength OF the
friends Of the treaty they will ultimately
reconsider their action and line up in it's
favor.
Minister Herran was asked to-day
whether it was probable that the State Of
Panama would revolt against Colombia
in the event of the rejection of the treaty.
He replied that there was no indication
OF such a movement in Panama, and that
such an outcome was very improbable.
