With the ex ception of the last two counts, the others practically sum up the criti cisms of Admiral Schley’s conduct made by Secretary Long to the senate, which the secretary characterized a* Schley’s "reprehensible conduct.” One of the Important points In the pre cept Is the direction to the court to re port In Its conclusions* "all the perti nent acts which It may deem to bo established, together with Its opinion and recommendations in the premises.” Secretory Long made the following statement about the precept: "It is simply an enumeration of the facts that have been, to use the applicant’s own words, ‘under discussion;’ they are referred to informally and sug gested to the court as matters which have been under discussion and, as euch, should be inquired into by them. They are enumerated In accordance with the general rulo that when in quiry Is made the person interested should have notice beforehand as far ns possible of all the specific things about which Inquiry Is likely to be made.” • Judge Advocate General Lemly, w»;o woa designated as Judge advocate gen eral of the court today, now will pro ceed with the preparation of his case. He will examine all document** and prepare a list of witnesses. The court probably will sit for some months, more than likely until congress con venes In December. Judge Lemly has not yet decided who the witnesses before the court shall be. They may bo taken from the navy, from the army, or from civil life—for undoubtedly some of the newspaper correspondents will.be called In this case. It Ij* even probable. In view of the recently published Interview of C*pt. Eulnte, of the Spanish navy, that he and Admiral Cervera himself will he called If Admiral Schley desires It. Of course, the court of Inquiry has no au thority to compel their attendance and It to more doubtful whether they would respond to a summons, but the oppor tunity will be afforded. No word has been received from Ad miral Kimberly, who it was reported had written to the department saying that hts health made It lnadvlsible for him to attempt to verve on the court. Ho will not be officially notified of hl» •election as a member of the court until he receives the precept which was mailed to him today. A copy of the precept also will he sent to Admiral Dewey and Rear Admirals Benham and Boh ley. Thex precept to the court Is an fol lows: "To Admiral George Dewey, N.. Washington. D.

The circumstances connected with la remarkable performance were any thing but conducive to fast lime, as Ing to the heavy rains of last night tho track was not In the best of con dition. After having been glv»n several pre liminary miles, George Ketchum caino out with the stallion to attempt what Impossible feat. Ketchum nodded for the word on tho third score, the horse trottllng like a machine. Accompanied by a runner tho chest nut stallion fairly flew' to the quarter, the timers’ watches registering Just 20 seconds. As Cresceus swung Into tho back stretch he was Joined by a second run- , jd although many predicted that the footing was such as would retard speed, ho reached the half mile In. 1:01. As the time was hung out tho immense crowd broke Into cheerN, as It was evi dent that the mile would b« a fast cne. The three-quarter pole was reached In l;3l 3-4, nnd ns the great stallion trotted Into the stretch, a runner on either side, hla frlctlonlos*, inacbln*?- strlkc was fairly eating up tho ncc. Never once faltering, not withstanding the terrific clip, he flew to the wire.

Thousands of entbuf' ^tlr people rushed out tin the t-k. - : Ketch! sulky .nnd carried to the rrand stand on the shoulders of admirers. Cresceus not only holds the world’s trotting record for both sexes, but last week at the Detroit Grand Circuit meeting, by trotting In 2:08 3-1 nnd 2:05 In his rnce against Charley Herr, se cured tho world's record for tho two fastest heats ever trotted In a race. Ills second mile In 2:05 also being a now world’s record for th* fastest mile ever trotted. CIGAR MAKERS STRIKE AT TAMPA Trouble Was Threntcneil at I'M Ar- te's Fnctory, but GimriU Wei Duly. TAMPA.
