BRITISH SQUADRON
Will Be Entertained at Newport In
stead Of New York.

1t was announced by Secretary Bonaparte
today that the British naval squadron.
commanded by Prince Louis of Battenberg.
will reac hthis country the latter part OF
October or early in November. and that It
had been decided to entertain the officers
and crew Of the fleet at Newport instead or
at New York as originally proposed. The
change was made for the reason that the
naval station at Newport Is better adapted
for the purposes of the official entertain
ment than the harbor OF New York. 1t IL
probable, however. that the British
squadron will subsequently visit New York.
Elaborate arrangements will be made for
the entertainment of the British prince and
sailors with a view to reciprOcattng the hos
pitalities always extended American war
ships visiting British ports, which were par
ticularly lavish on the occasion of the visit
OF the European squadron to Portsmouth.
England, last fall. 1t Is understood tfnlt
the jackies attached to the North Atlantic
squadron have already subscribed fund OF
about $1,000 for the entertainment OF the
British tars.

Hypnotized Witnesses.


q
The medico-legal relations involved by the
practice of hypnotism have several times
been discussed in the courts of the United
states OF America. Quite recently in the
case of the State VS.. Exum, 1t has been
decided that the statement by a witness on
cross-examination that She had been thrice
hypnotized by the prisoner Is admissible
as affecting the credibility Of her evidence
What counsel sought to prove was that saa
was then and there the subject of a post
hypnotic suggestion. 1t Is admitted that
proof OF such mental condition must be
very difficult the judge. whose function 1t
Is to decide the competency of witness,
would have to consider many pertinent
facts. Once. however. the state OF post
hypnotic suggestion Is established, there
can be little doubt that witness so
obsessed should be ruled unable to testify on
behalf of the party responsible for that
condition. 1t must be remembered that
possible actions of the victims of sugges-
tons Tongue echeance are still holly de-
bated in the French schools of hypnotisn:
st the Salpetriere they hoea that the edu-
Gated moral sense Is not annuled by a
criminal suggestion: at Nancy they have
several practical. If reprehensible, Illus
trations that when hypnotized the mind
Goes not revolt at a suggestion which leads
practically to the performance of a mis-
demeanor or crime.

TAGGART DIVORCE SUIT
GEN. MINER ON THE WITNESS
STAND AGAIN TO-DAY.

WOOSTER, Ohio August 23.-Gen. Mfnss
was again on the witness stand in the Tag
CART divorce case hearing today.
The muster roll was exhibited for the
month of July, 1903. and was identified by
Miner. 1t showed that Taggart was sick
in the hospital July to July 8, 1908. for
disease contracted in line OF duty" II
also adds an arrest July to July 8, 1905
Released July 8. 1903. and placed In COM
mand Of company.
The plaintiff sought to show that. al
though Miner charged Taggart with being
crazy when he was placed In the hospital.
he was taken out and placed in command
of his company.
Gen. Miner reiterated that he did not con-
fine Taggart for acute alcoholism, but for
the purpose Of observing his mental condi-
ton.
Gen. Miner asserted that he confidently
expected TO see reconciliation the last
time he saw Mrs. Taggart.
"As a peacemaker. did you think 1t would
effect reconciliation to send Mrs. Tag
CART away and have her take the children
away?" the general was asked.
Il thought that IL she went away she
would be better able to quietly think the
matter over and feel more like reconcilia-
tion." was the reply.

HAS GOOD WEATHER,
Second Day Of Rockville Fair Large
~ Attended.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md. August 23-The sec
Ond day Of the Rockville fair opened with
clear, bright weather, little too warm for
perfect comfort. but tempered by refresh-
ing breezes from the north. The grounds
had been freely sprinkled during the MORN
Ing. which settled the dust at least. tempo
rarily. and contributed much to the COM
fort of the crowd.
The county people arose with the lark
and several vehicles were seeking admis-
sion before the gates were opened. For two
or three hours a considerable stream Of
conveyances poured into the grounds
among them family ambulances crowded
with entire households carriages and
wagons OF every description. and at inter-
walls In spans of buggies.
The judges passed briskly around with
little crowding, distributing the blue and
red ribbons according to the merits of the
various articles and animals competing. At
half-past 3 o'clock the grand cavalcade of
stock began around the race course, and in
the shape Of horse flesh everything was
represented from Shetland pony to
mammoth Percheron stations. There were
number Of fine teams and the procession
was of a very imposing character
A commendable feature Of this exhibit
toon Is the entire absence of all disrepu-
table skin games. Fakirs are present in
considerable numbers. but are compelled to
conf1ne their operations to legitimate games
and schemes. Another thing noticeable Is
the abolition Of what was formerly known
as the presidents headquarters, where
heretofore refreshments of various kinds
were served during the entire fair. This
establishment is now Theoretically sealed.
and hungry and thirsty visitors must seek
relief elsewhere.
At the hour of noon a very considerable
crowd had gathered on the grounds, prob
ably equal In numbers to that Of any
former second day. Great interest Is felt
In the various racing events scheduled for
the afternoon. the program offered being
an attractive one.

STILL OUT OF THE CITY.
Mr.. T. E. Wagganan Fails to Appear
to Answer Indictment

Thomas f.. Waggaman. against whom an
Indictment for embezZlement was yesterday
returned by the grand jury. did not appear
at the city hall up to a late hour this after
noon. 1t was expected that as soon as he
notified OF the action of the grand jury
he would surrender himself and give bail to
appear for trial.
Assistant District Attorney ]. s. Easily
Smith. who is temporarily in charge of the
Wasgaman case, stated that he expected
Mr.. Waggaman to come In and give bond
without delay. Mr.. Waggaman has been
staying with his family on a farm near
Front Royal Va, he was informed and
could reach Washington In few hours.
Mr.. Easby-Smith declined to state
whether any other Indictments against Mr..
Waggaman might be expected, although 1t
is known that several cases were investi-
gated by the District attorneys office
shortly after the Waggaman failure. but In
many of the cases 1t was determined that
the evidence would not support an indict-
ment.
The Indictment returned yesterday was
not unexpected by the members OF the bar
and was the chief topic of conversation at
the City Hall today. In fact those who
had followed the course of events since
the filing of the bankrupt petitions last year
laid bare the business methods pursued by
Mr.. Waggaman were looking for some such
action.

RELICS OF BIG BATTLE
RAINING or SHIPS MAY PRE-
CIPTrATD A CONTROVERSY.

DETROIT, Mich. August 23.-Agitation
by several dominion newspapers threatens
to precipitate an International controversy
over the proposed raising and removal to
Detroit Of three British war vessels. which
were sunk in the Thames river In the
famous land and naval battle OF October D.
1918.
The remains Of these once-stanch war
vessels were a part OF the British fleet that
attempted to resist Commodore Perry at
Putin Bay. At that time the whole north
western country, through the surrender OF
Detroit by Hull. had fallen into British
hands. After the crushing defeat admin
istered by Perry the shattered remnant of
the British fleet slipped to Detroit and was
hastily pressed into service by Gen. Proctor,
who realized that safety lay only In flight.
Four vessels were hastily loaded with
arms, ammunition, stores, government pa
pers and other plumber from Detroit and all
speed made to Lake st. Clair. The little
fleet took refuge on the Thames and In the
battle which followed the ships were sunk.
Tecumseh. the great Indian chief who as
sisted the British. lost his life, ana froc-
tor, escaping later, committed suicide.
Plan for Recovery.
The vessels were forgotten until several
years ago. when unusually low water In
the Thames revealed one of them. plan
was originated to have them recovered,
brought to Detroit and presented to the
city as memorials. No productive action
was taken. however, until several days
ago. when Detroit exploring party. headed
by c. NJ Burton and Charles l.. Clark.
quietly began operations. So far the work
Of the explorers and their divers has re-
suited IN the definite location of three YES
sells. at points one and half. two and six
miles up stream from Chatham. The YES
sells are partly or wholly covered with sand
or earth.
In the one most exposed the hull was
found to contain boxes and barrels of cam
non balls and other stores. Further search
Is expected to reveal chests of silver, which
records in possession of the explorers
show were taken upon the boats.
Mr.. Burton. IN speaking Of the explora-
tons last night said that he expected no
serious difficulty az a result of interference
by the dominion government. He declared
the vessels were now private property and
that he would be able to effect bargain
whereby he could take them over. II plans
are carried out the vessels will be pre-
sented to the city of Detroit and be placed
In specially constructed museum on Bate
Island. Newspapers on the Canadian side
however, are vigorously protesting such ac-
ton. and 1t is not unlikely that the domin-
lon government will be called upon to take
action in the matter.
