SHORE BATTERIES WERE FEARED _
Schley's Attorneys Score Another
Strong Point In Favor of Their
Client at Wednesday's Ses
sion of Inquiry Court.
in the Schley naval court of inquiry
Wednesday Lieutenant M. L. Bristol
completed his testimony begun and
three new witnesses were introduced.
They were Rear Admiral Henry C.Tay
lor, who, as captain, commanded the
battleship Indiana during the war with
Spain; Lieutenant Commander Tem
p'tin M. Potts, who was navigator of
the battleship Massachusetts during
that period, and Lieutenant. Edward Z.
Leiper, who was on the New Orleans
during the war, the last named being
still on the stand when the court ad
journed for the day.
Admiral Taylor related incidents of
the battle off Santiago on July 3, in
cluding the Brooklyn’s famous turn.
He said that none of the Spanish ships
made any efforts fo ram the America*
vessels when they came out of the har
bor at Santiago.
Commander Potts’ testimony dealt
especially with the bombardment of
the Colon. Answering a question
from Judge Advocate Lemly, as to the
conduct of Commodore Schley during
that engagement, he said it was that
of a man laboring under great mental
excitement and of a man who was anx
ious to discharge as scon as possible
a disagreeable duty. Lieutenant Lei
per expressed the opinion that the
Spanish shore batteries at Santiago
had not been at any time formidable.
During Commander Potts’ examina
ticn Mr. Raynor secured permission
from the court to introduce as evi
dence the order of Secretary Long to
Admiral Sampson, 4 dated April 6, in
which he was admonished against the
exposure cf the American vessels to
the fire of strongly fortified ports. The
paragraph in that order which he espe
cially wished to have considered read
as follows:
“The department docs not wish the
vessels cf your squadron to be exposec
to the fire of the batteries at Havana,
Santiago de Cuba or other strongly
fortified ports in Cuba, unless the more
formidable Spanish vessels should
take refuge within those harbors. Even
in this case the department would sug
gest that a rigid blockade and employ
ment of our torpedo boats might ac
complish the desired object, viz., the
destruction cf the enemy’s vessels
without subjecting unnecessarily our
men cf war to the tire of the land
batteries.”
The dispatch also contains the 10 I
lowing order:
“The department further desires
that in case of war you will maintain a
strict blockade of Cuba, particularly
at the ports of Havana, Matanzas and,
If possible, cf Santiago de Cuba. Man-I
zanillo and Cienfugos. j
MARTIAL LAW DECLARED. j
I
England at Last Forced to Repressive J
Measures In South Africa. j
The Capo Town Gazette proclaims 1
martial law in the districts of Cape ]
Town, Wynberg, Simonstown, Port
Elizabeth Tke proclamation and East London. j
is the outcome of :
the recent visit of the premier of Cape
Colony, Sir John Gordon Sprigg, and
the under secretary of native affairs in
South Africa. J. Rose Innes, to the
British high commissioner, Lord Mil
lor. It places under military control
the few points in Cape Colony hitherto
exempted, and the constitution, there
fore, is now suspended over the entire
colony. The action taken probably
foreshadows the commencement of vig
orous measures which are understood
to be necessary to end the war.
Martial law will be modified in its
application to the ports by leaving the
docks, railroads and harbors under the
control of the civil authorities. Mill
tary rule wifi be mitigated In some
other respects.

SAMPSON ple^for counsel
Request Is Again Refused—Another
Victory For Schley at Thurs.
day’s Session of Inquiry Court.
A Washington special says: Just
bcfore the Schloy court of inqulry ad '
journed Thursday Judge Advocate
Lenity introduced Lioutenaffl J. H.
HoUlen. formerly watch officer on the
Scorpion, as a witness. Lieutenant
Holden signed the entry in the Scor
pion's log, giving the particulars of
the receipt of a message from Commo
dore Schley front the Eagle, which that
vessel had brought from Captain Me
Ca ) !a on Mav J9i ig ys w ), e n the flying
squadron, then bound for Cienfuegos,
fell bt with Captain McCaOas sub
squadron, which had just left that port,
The government hail sought to show
that by thu message Commodore
g c i,i e y had been notified that the Span
j s h fleet was not in the harbor of Cien
fuegos and Lieutenant Commander
Southerland, of the Eagle, had testified
that he had megaphoned to the Scor
pion that there were only a torpedo
boat and several eannonieros in that
harbor. Captain Lemly told the court
Thursday that the log of the Scorpion
did not show the receipt of fne mes
sage in this form and that there was
no evidence to show the delivery of
the message to Commodore Schley.
Sampson Again Turned Down,
William H. Stayton. the New fork
attorney who some time ago asked to
be allowed to represent Rear Admiral
Sampson before the Schley court of in
quiry and whose request was denied
by the court, presented a letter to the
court Thursday in which It is alleged
that Sampson’s honor has, on several
occasions, been involved before the
court and asked the privilege of being
represented by counsel.
A reply was scut Mr. Stayton to the
effect that Admiral Sampson was not a
party to the inquiry, and that he would
be notified when the court considered
him as interested.
GEN. BOTHA EVADES THE TRAP
Intrepid Boer Leader Break* Through
Kitchener’s Cordon Formed By
Over 200,000 Men.
A London special says: The wholly
unsatisfactory situation in South Af
rica continues to call out the most se
vere criticism. Lord Kitchener wired
Thursday that General BoOia had
crossed the Pivaau river, 20 miles
north of Vrylieid, which means that he
lias again escaped the British cordon.
General Buller, in a speech Thurs
day afternoon, complained of the gen
eral criticisms, especially in the news
papers, of himself. He admitted he
had advised General Sir George White
that it would be necessary possibly to
surrender Ladysmith, but bearing in
mind all the circumstances of the
rase, he was quite prepared to let the
public judge of the justifiability of the
newspaper attacks.
The secretary of war, Mr. Brodriek,
replying to Sir Charles Howard Vin
cent's offer to raise fresh troops or do
anything to assist the government, de
clines the proposal, and in doing so
lengthily reviews the British position
in South Africa, obviously in answer to
the persistent and searching criticisms
ministerial journals and mem
hers of parliament, that the goverr,
ment is languidly content to let the
war drag on.
Mr. Brodriek says, to begin with,
that nothing Lord Kitchener has ask
cd for has not been promptly met. He
adds:
“We have, roughly, 200,000 ... and ,
men
456 guns In South Africa, and over
100,000 men are undei tiaining at
home. Wo have no difficulty, there
fore, in keeping the field firmly up to
its requisite strength by drafts, and
if a further call he made we are in a
position to meet it with the (((most
promptitude. Notwithstanding this,
there seems lo be an impression
abroad that the close of the war is re
tarded by a scarcity of troops, or the
want of mobility of our columns."
This impression Mr. Brodriek com
bats by reciting what the war office is
doing, providing supplies for 314,000
persons, directly or Indirectly connect
ed with the war, feeding 248,000
horses and mules, and maintaining
four months’ reserves of food for men
and animals. Sixty nine mobile col
umns, perfectly equipped, are now in
the field, and 10,000 remounts are be
i n 8 landed monthly, besides those cap
tured.
Mr. Brodriek says the anxiety can
be set at rest at borne. The govern
ment lias never interfered with Lord
Ultchener, in whose vigorous prosecu
tion of the war they have entire con
fldence.

BLALOCK LOSES AS COLLECTOR
Is Turned Clown for Taking a Pledge
to Oppose McLaurin—Flori
dians Call at the White
House.
A Washington special says: J’resi
dent Roosevelt threw a bomb into thu
South Carolina republican camp
Thursday by refusing to appoint Loom
is Blalock collector of internal revenue
tor the district of South Carolina, vice
E. A. Webster, deceased. Blalock, who
was originally a democrat, but who
has recently affiliated with the repub
lican party in the Palmetto State, was
highly recommended for the collector
ship. Among his friends and Indors
ers was Senator McLaurin. When
the regular republican organization
heard that Blalock’s appointment
would probably be credited to Senator
McLaurin, they hurried to Washington
in droves and entered their personal
protests at the white house. Later a
conference of the various factions was
held and Blalock was invited to be
present. Thereupon he renounced
McLaurin and pledged himself to stand
by the regular republican organization
of the state. When he did this those
who had opposed him Joined a delega
tion, went to the white house and
strongly urged his appointment upon
the president.
When they left the white house
they were confident that the selection
of Blalock was assured and his ap
pointment would be formally announc
ed within the next day or two.
Senator Md^aurin called upon the
president Thursday ami was in con
sultation with him for nearly an hour.
During the conference the South Caro
lina situation, and especially Blalock's
appointment, was fully discussed and
the result is that Blalock will not be
appointed, but one of the two men
whose names were suggested by sen
ator McLaurin will, in all probabyity,
he appointed to the vacant collector
ship. This sudden change In the
South Carolina situation will create
consternation in the republican camp
when it becomes known, for moiil of
the South Carolina politicians wiio
visited Washington In connection with
the Blalock matter left for their homes
Thursday night confident that the mat
ter had been disposed of acceptably to
Blalock and the old line republican or
ganization. Those who arc disposed
to indulge in speculation as to who
the next collector of Internal revenue
in South Carolina will be suggest, the
name of Dr. Clayton, a well known and
reputable citizen of South Carolina,
who is conservative in politics and
friendly to Senator McLaurin.
Floridians See Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt was also en
lightened on the subject of republican
politics in Florida by H. 8. Chubb,
chairman of the state republican com
mittee, and John G. Long, recognized
leader, in the land of flowers and or
anges. They went over the political
situation in their state and assured the
president that, their recommendations
would be of men acceptable to him
nnd to the best people of tho state. It
Is believed that, most, of the Florida
office holders will be reappointed, with
tho possible exception of the United
States attorney tor the southern dis
trict, James W. Stripling; the collec
tor of customs at Apalachicola, J. M.
Shepherd, and the postmaster at
Tampa.
District Attorney .Stripling Is going
to have active opposition from J. M
Cheny and Shepherd will be opposed
by Dr. "Tip” Warren. The terms of
these officers do not expire until Jan
nary anil the fights will not commence
for a short time.

ANARCHIST MOST CO iVICTEi).
Sent to Pen For Publishing Seditious
Article When President Mc
Kinley Wa6 Shot.
At New York Monday Johann Most,
the anarchist, was sentenced to one
year In Hie penitentiary in the court
of special sessions for publishing in
ills paper, The Freiheit, an alleged
seditious article on the day following
the shooting of tlie late President Me
kinley.
The article in question was entitled
“Murder Against Murder.”
In his defense Mob! claimed that
the paper containing the article was
printed and ready for distribution Ini
fore the president was shot. Also,
that it was a quotation from an aril
ele published fifty years ago. After
imposing the sentence Judge llims
dale read the opinion of tire court, In
which he said:
“It Is no answer to th< evil and
criminal nature of this article to claim
that it was not written for the purpose
of destroying crowned heads. It In
enleates and enforces tin Idea that
murder is the proper remedy to he ap
ph'il against rulers. The fact, that it
wat - ; Published fifty years ago niid
! «*»>" republished about, fifteen years
i H 8" oll, Y emphasizes and gives added
point to the criminality of the reptib
fishing of it at any time. It shows de*
liberate intent to Inculcate arid pro mill
gate the doctrines of the article. Tills
we hold to be a criminal act. It is not
necessary to trace any connection In
this article with the assassination of
the late president. The offense here,
In the eyes of the law, is precisely the
same as if the bloody event t ad never
occurred. The murder of tile presl
dent only serves to lnustrate and lllii
mlnatc the enormity of the crime of
j the defendant In teaching his diaboli
cal doctrine."

At morning, eve or noon.

To suit the contour of the face;

Scissors sharp and razors keen.
And everything I think you'll find

And all my art and skill can do
If you Just call I’ll do for you.
