Schley Kept In Ignorance of Faots
Known To Sampson.
MESSAGE HELD BACK TWO DAYS
Hot Words Between Counsel—Cap
tain Lemly Intimates That Mr. Ray
ner Is Tricky, and Maryland Lawyer
Answers With a Threat.
Washington, Oct. 12.—111 the Schley
lourt of inquiry today Mr. Rayner,
thief counsel for Schley, outlined a
i-ontention to the effect thai Samp
son's dispatch of May 27. 1898, was
the flrst positive notice that Schley
had from Sampson of the presence of
the Spanish fleet at Santiago. Mr.
Rayner made a witness for the prose
cution, Lieutenant Commander Staun
ton. admit that there was no commun
ication between Sampson and Schley
from May 21 to May 27, and that
when Sampson received information
from Havana on the" morning of May
20 that Cervera was at Santiago, the
information was kept secret and was
not transmitted to Schley until at
dusk the next day.
Near the close of the half-day ses
sion Judge Advocate Lemly and Mr.
Rayner became engaged in a heated
quarrel over the admissibility at that
time of a chart showing the speed of
the vessels of the (lying squadron, and
when Rayner made a statement con
cerning the matter to be introduced
the judge advocate took exception to
its reception, saying Mr. Rayner's
summary was inaccurate, as other
statements made by him, referring
especially to the contents of docu
ments presented, had been.
Rayner resented the expression and
replied to the effect that if uttered
outside of the court room he would
say that It was false. Before the
court adjourned both Rayner and
Lemly made statements concerning
the incident to the court, and Admiral
Dewey expressed the opinion that
Lemly's explanation should be satis
factory to Rayner.
Captain Chadwlck, in command of
Admiral Sampson's flagship, the New
York, and who also was chief of the
admiral's staff during the war with
Spain, testified briefly Friday after
nonn. He was the last witness called
and when the court adjourned was still
under cross-examination by Mr. Ray
ner. who stated that he had only a
few more questions to ask him. There
was considerable interest in Captain
Chadwlck's appearance because of his
close relationship to the commander
in-chief of the North Atlantic squad
ron.
Captain Chadwlck's testimony relat
ed very largely to dispatches sent by
Admiral Sampson to Commodore
9chley while the latter lay of! Clen
fueges in May, 1898, and to the code
of signals agreed upon between Cap
tain McCalla, of the Marblehead, and
the Cuban forces operating near Cien
fuegos. He said this code had not
been sent to Commodore Schley by dis
patch because Captain McCalla had ex
pected to Join the commodore imme
diately and communicate the code to
him.
"Was Commodore Schley then in
Key West?" asked the Judge advocate.
"He had left on the morning of the
19th for Cienfuegos."
"Some hours before McCalla arrived
with the system of signals?"
"About three hours before."
"You have referred to a visit by
Commodore Schley to the flagship at
Key West. Can you state anything
that occurred there in Commodore
Schley'a presence bearing upon the sub
ject of this inquiry?"
"My only distinct recollection in re
gard to a conversation was Commodore
Schley's statement to the admiral that
he desired to be perfectly loyal. He
said that he was very pleased to be
under his command and that he could
be assured that he should be entirely
loyal In all hie conduct.''
"Did you have any information
whatever from any source that Cer
vera's fleet was going to make a sortie
from the harbor of Santiago on July
3?"
"None whatever within my recollec
tion."
Taking the witness for cross-exami
nation Mr. Rayner asked:
"Do you recollect the dispatch which
will be found in the officials report of
Admiral Sampson, dated May 29. in
which he congratulates Commodore
Schley upon his success? I will read
the dispatch, 'ihe following teiegram
was sent to Commodore Schley to both
Port, Antonio, Jamaica, and the Mole
St. Nicholas: 'Congratulate you on
success. Maintain close blockade at
all hazards, especially at night, very
little to fear from torpedo boat de
stroyers. Coal In open sea whenever
conditions permit. Send a ship to ex
amine Ouantanamo with view to oc
cupying it as base, coaling one heavy
ship at a time. Appraise captured coal,
use it it uesireu, auu atterwaras sena
ship In as prize.' "
"1 remember that very well because
I protested against uis congratulations.
I asked him why he persisted, and he
said, 'I want to encourage him.' "
"You recollect that because you pro
tested against putting that in the dis
patch?"
"I said that under the circumstances
I thought it was improper."
Captain Chadwick stated that the
first intimation he had of the Spatiisn
fleet being in Santiago was from a tel
egram sent by the navy department
Later, he said, a second telegram was
received which corroborated the fact
and which caused Admiral Sampson to
believe that the Spanish fleet was in
Santiago ana also caused him to write
he second dispatch directing the move
ment towards Santiago."
On Thursday Mr. William H.
Stay r on, the New York attorney who
Bome tlnfe ago asked to be allowed to
represent Rear Admiral Sampson be
fore the Schley court of inquiry, and
whose request was deniel by the court,
yesterday addressed a letter to Ad
miral Dewey, requesting that he and
his assistant, E. S. Theall, be permitted
to appear before the court and be
given proper facilities to hear the pro
cedures anil be present to defend Ad
miral Sampson when counsel should
make attacks upon him, the nature of
which they had already deemed proper
to make.
A reply was sent to Mr. Stayton to
the effect that Admiral Sampson was
not a party to the Inquiry, and that he
would be notified when the court con
sidered him as interested.
Commander Schuetze was one of
the most important witnesses of
the day. In answer to Mr. Ray
ner's questions, he said. In refer
ence to the chart of the battle,
that he at flrst refused to sign it be
cause it waj clearly inaccurate, but
afterwards was persuaded to do so in
order to effect a compromise.
Interesting In Wednesday's session
was the effort of Mr. Rayner to Intro
duce signals that had passed between
the Indiana and Admiral Sampson's
flagship, the New York, in the early
morning of July 3, 1898. Captain Lem
ly made immediate objection, ann Mr.
Rayner presented an earnest plea to
be allowed to read the slnals. He was
not permitted at thrt time to do so,
but it is understood that the signals
which he desired to Introduce as hav
ing been sent from the New York to
the Indiana were dated at 8.15 a. m.
of that day, and were an invitation
from the flagship to accompany her
to Siboney, while the response was a
declination to do so.
MORMONS' CHIEF IS DEAD
President Lorenzo Snow Expires After
a Brief Illness.
Salt Lake, Utah, Oct. 11. —Lorenzo
Snow, flfth president of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
better known as the Mormon church,
died unexpectedly at his private resi
dence, the historic Beehive house, yes
terday afternoon, after an illness that
had been serious only since the day
before.
Lorenzo Snow was born in Mantua,
Portage County, Ohio, April 3, 1814,
and received a classical education at
Oberlin College. He become a convert
to Mormonism in 1836 and immediately
began proselyting. Since then he has
been one of the most active and prom
inent members of the church organi
zation. He has been on numerous
foreign missions, the most important
being that to Great Britain, in 1840,
where he became president of the Lon
don conference.
In 1848, at the head of a tra'n of
100 wagons, he made the overland trip
from Illinois to the present site of
Salt Lake City, and in all the work
of founding and buiiuing up this city
he was a leader. For 30 years, com
mencing with 1852, he was a member
of the territorial legislature, chiefly
as presiding officer of the upper house.
In 1855 with 50 families he founded
and named Brlgham City, in north
ern Utah, which was his home for
many years. In 1886, during the agi
tation against the practice of polygamy
he was convicted of unlawful cohabi
tation and sentenced to three terms
of six months each, but later was re
leased on a writ of habeas corpus. On
September 13, 1896, he was chosen
president of the church in succession
to Wilford Woodruff.

DEAD FROM BLACK DAMP
Three Juniata Miners Meet Death In
Horrible Manner.
Connellsville, Pa., Oct. 14. —Three
lives went out in a little air shaft only
2 feet in diameter and 20 feet deep
but filled with death black damp, at
the mines of the Juniata Coke com
pany, near Juniataville, yesterday. The
dead are:
JOHN GILLELAND, a miner, aged
CO years, and his two sons. JAMES
and WINFIELD, aged 11 and 15 years
respectively.
All three bodies were rescued, but
in the effort John Nicholson, mine
foreman at Juniataville. and John
Baker, a mine fire boy, were overcome
by black damp. Near the home of
the Gillelands is a deserted air shaft.
Yesterday the two boys were play
ing around the shaft, which is board
ed up for about two feet from tha
ground. James climbed to the top,
shouting to his brother. Then he
leaned over the top of the shaft.
A sudden gust of the death fumes
struck him, and with a scream he
fell forward Into the pit. His broth
er rushed to the top of the shaft and
started down a rickety ladder that
years ago served the miners with a
means of descent.
Prom the home not many yards
away the elder Gilleland saw his boys
go down the shaft. Realizing their
danger, he rushed to the pit, and, re
gardless of his own safety, hurried
down the hole. By this time a num
ber of other inmates of the house >- ad
hurried to the shaft. They o
the top and peered in, but only\
groans were heard. \
About half way down the little sh»>
the body of the father had lodged.
His white face and glazing
turned up towards the light and air,
told that the gas had done its work
quickly and well.
Nicholson and John Baker, who had
for years worked beside Gilleland,
were then lowered into the shaft with
ropes around their bodies. Gilleland's
body was soon hoisted to the top from
where it had lodged, and at the bottom
were found the bodies of the two
boys, entwined In a death embrace.
After the dead came the rescuers to
the surface, and as soon a-s they
reached the pure air the terrible ef
fect of the gas was evident, and both
fainted.
Physicians say the men are in a
serious condition. Gilleland leaves a
wife and several children.
