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. MRS. JACKSON PRESIDED. Widow of Famous “Stonewall” Meets With Daughter* of Confederacy.

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.

M’LAURIN IS FAVORED President Accedes to Request of South Carolina Senator. 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. McKinley Head on Postal Card*.

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." 1 j j FA88ENGER MEN IN SES8ION.
