Tho patriotic Bulgarians are incensed,
as they recognize that Miss Stone and
her colleagues of the American missions
lu Bulgaria and Macedonia have been
their best friends throughout all of tho
troubles. There is no lack of indication
that Priuce Ferdinand is contemplating
his own position by permitting such li
cense to the committee as to enable it to
blackmail prominent people in support
of the Macedonian cause.
Consul General Dickinson, when here
on his way to Sofia from Constantino
ple, thought it probable that if the bri
gands understood from headquarters
that the ransom would not be paid they
would release Miss Stone, as the Mace
donian cause would not be helped by
the murder of the woman.

day for »kio murder of Professor Whlto.
The drop fell at 10:06.
The men met death bravely and
neither made any statement on the gal
lows. Both wore strangled to death.
The following is the story of tho crime
for which the two meu suffered the
death penalty:
Roy Wilson White, a professor in the
law department of the Uuiversity of
Pennsylvania, was attacked on the
street near that institution in West
Pniladelphia at a late hour on the night
of May 19. 1900, and beaten to death
with an irou bolt. The motive was rob
bery, as the victim’s clothing was al
most torn off and his pockets had been
rifled. Soon after the commission of
the crime a citizen met two negroes n
block distant from the spot where Pro
fessor White was murdered.
On the following day Henry Ivory of
this city was arrested and identified as
one of the two men *een in the vicinity
the previous night. Later Charles Perry
was arrested. Both were subjected to
the '‘sweating system” by the detectives
and confessed the crime.
A negro named Stirling was also con
nected with the crime, but no proof at
first was found against him. The two
former were convicted and twice re
spited. Stirling had a separate trial
and was convicted in the first degree.
He secured another trial on a technical
ily and was again couvicted.

Campaign Aguii.at the Spaniards.
Ifo<l£*>oii Make.i a Correction.
Washington, O ;r. S. — After the usual
preliminaries in the Schley naval court
of inquiry today Lieutenant C. W. Dy-
non of the bureau of steam engineering
of the navy department was recalled tc
continue liis testimony regarding the
coal supply of Admiral Schley’s flying
squadron at the timo of its arrival oft
Santiago harbor ou May 20, 1898. lb*
was brought in this morning at tlie in
stance of Admirul Schley’s counsel for
the purpose of giving further testimony
concerning the availability of the co.n
supply in charging the enomv.
it was the understanding when court
opened that Commander Richard Wain | 1
wngnt would be the print*.p:ii witness
of the day, and that alter he .-houbt l>e
excused Messrs. Bristol, Grant ami Potts
would be called in the order mimed.
three last mentioned were all watch
ollicers ou various vessels of the A moi l
on July 8, when the naval en
gagement off Santiago was fought.
It lias been the desire of the court to
cure as much testimony ns possible
from the meu whose especial duty it
as to keep a lookout, ami these three
officers were summoned to gratify this
wish. There was a special interest in
Commander Wainwright’s testimony,
because of his prominent iuouutioatiuu
with the Spanish war, and also because
of the fact that he is now sup rinteml-
eut of the naval academy at Annapolis
Conspicuous I'ari lu Campaign.
During the summer of 1898 Mr. Wain
wright commanded the converted yacht
Gloucester, which played a conspicuous
part in the campaign against the Span
iards. In the battle of July 3 his vessel
occupied a position on the extreme right
of the American column to the east oi
the Indiana, and when the Swinish tor
pedo boats Piutou aud Furor came out
of the harbor he attacked them fear
lessly aud aided in their destruction.
He also was an observer, though at a
distance, of the battle between tho big
ships of tho two fltietS.
The proceeding!* of the day began by
the recall of Captaiu W. M. Folger for
the purpose of correcting his testimony
his presence to ask him further' ques
tions concerning tho blockade of San
tiago. Among other questions ho was
asked by Captain Lemley if he hod had
any conversation with Commodore
Schley during the blockade. He replied:
“Toward the evening of one of the
days. May 30, there was an extended,
very severe rain storm, so severe that I
feared Cervera had gotten our, as it was
sufficiently long to have permitted him
to do so. I wont on board the flagship
the next day, thinking it my duty tc
tell the commodore what I had seen a-
to the blockade as kept by the Japanese
off the port of Wei Hal Wet, where sim
ilarly an enemy’s fleet was within n
fortified harbor. I said to tho commo
dore that the adoption of the tactics of
tho Japanese, forming a circle directly
in front of the harbor, would, in my
opinion, be preferable, as then it would
be difficult for anything to get out.”
Judge advocate—“Was there any re
ply by the commodore?”
tchley Did Not Think It Necessary.
“Ha did not agree with me as to tho
necessity for that.”
Captain Folger also said that he had
no recollection of a picket line on the
inside of the American fleet.
At the request of Captuiu Parker of
counsel for Admiral Schley, the witness
examined the log of the New Orleans
for May 30 and 31, 1898, for the purpose
of determining accurately the state of
the weather, but ho declined to modify
his statement of yesterday that the
weather on those days was bad.
Captain Folger was then excused and
Lieutenant Dyson called. He was ques
tioned by Captain Lemley concerning
the steaming condition of the Brooklyn
on July 3.
The judge advocate asked: “What
does the Brooklyn’s steam log show as
to the number of engiues coupled up
and tbe number of boilers in use July
8, 1890, as compared with tiie total en
gines and boilers of the vessel?”
The reply was: “The Brooklyn has
four main engiues, two to each shaft,
connected together by coupling. She
uotwitJB3S5v n K that on Tier trial trip
the Brfco^jyu made over 21 kuots to the
Oregon's kuots. He called attention
to the fact that tho New York had made
10 or 17 knots* speed on the day of the
battle. In response to questions from
Captain Parker he said that the New
York had uot had her engiues coupled
on the day of the battle and that tno
Brooklyn had made all the speed neces
sary.
After JAeutenant Dyson was excused
Lieutenant Commander Hodgson was
re called for the purposo of correcting
errors in his testimony as printed in the
official record. He took occasion to
change some of the language of his pre
vious testimony. One of the changes
was made in rcipouso to the question
asked yesterday us to why he had desig
nated as “a liar and a blackguard” tno
editor of a newspaper which had origi
nally printed the alleged colloquy be
tween himself and Commodore frehioy
lie said he desired to alter the reply
that he had yesterday given to this in
terrogatory. Ho then said:
“I, of course, am very sorry that I
ever so far forgot myself as to write a
I nter containing sucli intemperate lan
guage. It was not written exactly for
hncutiou, but under great provocation
mat time. In that letter I did not
uccu>e this newspaper of lying for print

auxiliaries. On the morning of July 8
both forward engines wero uncoupled.
There wero banked fires under three of
the main boilers. Tue other boilers were
wbat we oali -dead,’ no steam lu them,
judging from the tune it took to stnrt
fires in these boilers after the Spanish
fleet came oat of the harbor, I should
say the furnaces were not even primed,
for the boilers had to be ran up to tbe
sea-steaming levoL”
In response to other questious the
witness told of tho Brooklyn and what
was done on board the vessel to get up
speed.
Speed of the Ves-e a Discussed.
Mr. Raynor askod if it were not neces
sary to stop the ship to couple the un
coupled engiues aud the witness replied
th&t the ship could have beea kept go
ing with one engiue while the other Was
coupled. The engines were designed,
he said, to be kept coupled during war.
Discussing the speed of the various
vessels of the floet on Jnly 8, the wit
ness said that the Oregon got a speed
about equal to tho Brooklyn on that day
“The lying was iu the matter of fact
that the com mod ore displayed such
trepidation and cowardice on tne Brook
lyn the day of that battle that he ran
from the Spaniards aud took tne Brook
lyn to tho southward aud away from
the fight, in order to detract from the
credit of tho fame of the commodore in
that battle; that they wished also to de
tract troru the credit of all the ollicers
of tne Brooklyn on account of the glo
rious part she took iu that day’s tight.
It was words to that extent I character
ized as lying. There was no lyn
that colloquy, unless a man >tuc': f
verbal correctness of tne words. So I
did not characterize the paper as a liar
for printing that colloquy.”
Lieutenant Hodgson being excused
Commander NVainwright was willed.
Captain Lemley began his exatu’.uati
by drawing from the witness the fact
that he had been a member and latterly
a senior member of the board which had
officially acted in making the chart
showing the positions of the American
aud Spanish ships at Santiago.
Witness told how conclusions were
reached by that board. He said:
" ^ Uflitlve PosttlotiH of ships.
of ^re'twxird, the Inuird of navigators
had a sketched chart before them with
a number of positions sketched on it,
which had been determined by tnem.
starting at different periods, first when
tne ships came out aud afterwards when
they went ashore. Each navigator, as
near as possible, would put the position
of his snip at that time. There was a
great deal of discussion ns to the rela
tive iKjsitions. Of course it was uujhw-
sible to get any position bv bearings,
and there was nothing known about tne
relative positions.
“We also knew that the distances in
the chart were somewhat iucorrect aud
the final decision of the board was to
reconcile each one as near as possible,
but uoue of the positions were consid
ered exact jfhsitious. The impossibility
of getting bearings, even if we had had
a correct chart, was apparent, bussii
gave a general idea of the positions of
the vessels during different periods of
the battle.”
Mr. Raynor asked if it was true, as
had been officially stated in the report,
that the positions were assigued from
“known bearings.”
The witness replied that that state
ment was incorrect; that they were es
tablished by estimated bearings. Most
of the questions were, he said, fixed by
discussions among tho navigators con
stituting tho board, although Captain
Chadwick was bt fore the board. Tho
navigators had done the best they could
in placing the vessels aud had made it
as nearly correct as possible, so long af
ter the engagement i » had beou stated
by the board.
Asked by Mr. Raynor about the
places assigued to the Brooklyn and
Texas wnile the former vessel was
making hor loop Commander Wain-
wright said he did not consider them
oorrect.
