Major Murphy corrected his testi mony of yesterday so as to say that tho vessels of the flying squidrou in steam ing back and forth at night iu front of the mouth of tiie harbor at Santiago had gone only about ?v»0 yards to either side of the harbor instead of 1,500 yards, as stated yesterday. In resj>oiise to a question by Mr. K ly- nor. Major Murphy detailed an incident in which Commodore Schley figured at the close of the battle of July 3. Major Murphy said: “I remember the incident distinctly, because it made a very great impression on me at the time. It was when they were preparing a cutter to take Captain Cook to tne Colon to receive the surren der of that ship. She had hauled down her flag and was ashore. Tho officers and many of the men were gathered forward in the neighborhood of the forecastle, and Commodore Schley ad dressed the men, cautioning them not to cheer when the Spanish captain came on board. “He spoke of their gallantry—that they had made a good fight aud that they should not be humiliated; that we I should treat them chivalrously and not | humiliate thl-m by cheers. It was a i gallant speech, and we nil felt it very deeply. The comm uioro m ule the same speech about midnight of the same day | when we were ranging alongside tne Iowa, and we had learned thai Admiral Cervern and ins officers were on board I that ship. Ir afterward developed that Admiral Cervera h ard Commodore | Schley make the remark and he ap proved it very much, so we were told. ” ( oiiiiog a I- fllculi .1 b. Major Murphy was then excused and Commander H irlow called. He said that ou Muy 25 no one would iiavo at tempted to coal a ship and that without experience coaling could not have been undertaken in the forenoon of May 20. “Notes taken by himself daring the battle of July 3, did not, he said, give the exact time consumed by the Brook lyn in making its tarn, bat showed the time to be less than 25 minutes. When asked how much time elapsed after the Spanish vessels came out of the harbor before they turned to the westward the witness said that the time was only •nch as would have been consnmeed in going a few ships’ lengths. He said he remembered the incident of Commodore Schley's transferring his flag from the Brooklyn to the Massa* chnsetts on May 31 for th6 Durpose of making a reconnoissancs, the Tixen haviug been used for that purpose. “What, if anything, was said when returning about the guns that were dis covered or developed?” “A remark was made, I think, by my self, that at any rate we had developed the battery. Commodore Schley replied that ‘That was what we went in for.' A remark was made by Mr. Schley about the 13-inch gun on a disappering carriage which we did not believe. We found afterward the disappearing car riage was a tree. ” “What was the manner and bearing pf Commodore Schley on this occasion?” ♦'Commodore Schley looked badly and as I would have suspected from a man who probably had been up a great deal at night aud laboring under a great deal pf feeling of responsibility. From the there are few people who do not suffer from a feeling of fullness after eating belching, flatulence, sonr stomach or water-brash, caused by indigestion or dyspepsia. A preparation such as Ko dol Dyspepsia Cure, which, with no aid from the stomach, will digest your food, certainly can’t help but do you good. H. R. Palmer & Sons and W J Smith & Bro.

New York, Oct. 24.—Interesting de tails concerning the enforced retirement of Sir Redvers Buffer are given iu a dis patch from London to The Herald. It is an open secret that what is known as “petticoat influence” has been far too ■trong about the war office ever since the Duke of Cambridge resigned and the political commauder-iu-chief has not escaped it. There are many people who are in clined to applaud the speech of Mr. K. C-. Richards, K. O. M. B., night beforo last at Northampton, who declared tnat if Lord Roberts would leave bazaar openings to Lady Roberts and take tne selections and war office reforms into his own bauds, tnere might bo great re form at the war office. It is said that «ver since General Buller refused to correct his Spionkop dispatches he has been -ubj?c:ed to the bitter hostility of Lady Roberts, who used every eff ort to force her husbu.id to demand his recall. Within the last few days her auti- patby has taken fresn vent, owing to his Westminister speeches. It is said •he induced ‘Bobs’ to go to the war of fice and demand that an order be issued for General Buffer’s resignation Such an order was issued, but old Buller replied with a flat refusal to re- sign.
