Oregon OMeer's Story--Lieutenant Com­ mander Nicholson Said the Texas Was JTever Nearer Than One Mile tfce Brooklyn Durine the Ifattle. Washington telegratm ltaur Ad­ miral Schley won / several victories at the naval court of inquiry, as the men of his ship stood loyally by him and testified to facts wiricb not only go a long way toward removing any stigma that has been placed upon his name, but also gave several hard jolts to the case the department has attempted to make out against him. The Navy department itself was placed in an unenviable position by develop­ ments which show it sent Lieutenant Ward of the Navigation bureau to dis­ cuss the events of the Santiago cam­ paign with Rear Admiral Schley's wit­ nesses, and today attempted to use these conversations in impeachhig the testimony of the witnesses. The uuugc Advocate and consequently the department were trapped in an effort made to suppress the facts it is their duty to bring out. Some time ago Ma­ chinist Claxton of the Texas testified that he had hold of the throttle of the port engine of the Texas when the loop was made by the Brooklyn. He testified that the port engine had been reversed and the engine stopped. Chief Machinist J. L. Hanley of the Texas today testified that Claxton had charge of the air pumps on the day of the battle and that he--Hanley--was at the throttle of the port engine of the Texas during the entire battle. Hanley swore that the port engine of the Texias was not reversed and that It did not stop. This testimony is important as it Beems to dispose of the claim that the 'i cxas nad Brooklyn were in danger of collision when the loop was made by the Brooklyn. Oregon Officer Describes Battle. Lieutenant Commander Nicholson,' the executive officer of the Oregon, which, together with the Brooklyn, practically destroyed the Spanish fleet, was one of the most interesting wit­ nesses of the day. He, like the other officers of the fleet, told the battle. He said the never nearer than one mile to the Brooklyn and that there was no dan­ ger of the two vessels colliding. In common with all the ofheers who really did the fighting on July 3, Nicholson said the Oregon and the Brooklyn were close together during the entire bat­ tle. Lieutenant Commander Nicholson said when the Spaniards came out of the harbor the first thing he did was to look R*r the flagship New York, but that vessel had left the squadron and could be seen several miles in the dis­ tance. He told his story in the same modest manner that has characterized the men who were on the ships which did. the real fighting. He provoked a smile throughout the courtroom when he said that during the chase of the Colon Captain Clark let half the crew go to dinner. tria ought to interc th rplighsirlSTTratftm^ a the storyNif "jobber war now wag^d by Great Brit- Texas wa^'ain." That country, h<i added, shoull Thirty 8hfeUs Strike Brooklyn. Ship's Carpenter Warford of the Brooklyn told of the injuries received by the Brooklyn, saying that thirty sheila had struck the ship, to say noth­ ing of the fragments. He saw Schley during the entire battle. The commo­ dore was on the platform outside the conning tower. Warford said of Schley's bearing: "He impressed me as being a brave and fearless officer." Schley gave encouragement to the men, according to this witness, by say­ ing: "Give them fa , my bullies," and "Well done, my bullies." There was great danger of th^ Brooklyn be­ ing rammed by the Spanish ships, ac­ cording to the witness, who said he received orders to close the water-tight doors and to "stand by to ram." This order was given before the Brooklyn made the loop, and when the ships of the Spanish squadron were sailing di­ rect for the leading American ship. .Lieut. Thomas P. Carter, the past as­ sistant engineer of the Brooklyn, told of the conditions existing in engine- rooms at the beginning of the battle. Schley Praised by Surgeon. Passed Assistant Surgeon De Valin of the Brooklyn said Schley's conduct on the day of the battle "was all. that could be desired or expected. He seemed to know what he was about, and had perfect control of himself." Orewspme Story Is ToM. Lieutenant Ryan, assistant engineer of the Brooklyn, who stood two feet from Yeoman Ellis when the latter was killed, said Schley's conduct dur­ ing the battle was admirable. In des­ cribing the death of Ellis Lieutenant Ryan said Ellis had a stadimeter in his hand, was taking ranges, and was calling them out. Suddenly a shell from the Colon struck Ellis, carrying off his head. The body fell to the deck and the blood spurted on those about part of the bones of the dead man striking Ryan and injuring him. Owing to the great amount of blood Ryan and another officer started to throw the body overboard, but Schley directed the body covered up and car­ ried aft. When this story was being told a suppressed expression of horror was uttered by the spectators, many of whom were women. For Arbitration of Dr. Kaiser has been e'ected first vice president of the Unter' aus at Vienna.

The board qf^governors of the na­ tional bureau of identification, com­ prising leading police chiefs and the head of the Pinkerton detectives, at Washington, adopted a recommenda^ tion to be urged on Congress for legis­ lation defining anarchy and authoriz­ ing all police officers to arrest and prosecute all such offenders under that law who may he found within their jurisdictions. • SLAIN Mjn Bill lour ...^ y f . -,V-- : •-. &••• v-. -v - VICTORY OF THE COLONISTS. •hilt Camp by Night and Hide In Oat of the Way Spots -- British Kest Freshly Plowed Land* la Onwge Klwer Colony.
