Chicago telegram: What is known as the "McKinley case" in St. Elizabeth's hospital--a patient suffering from gun­ shot wounds identical with those in­ flicted upon the late President McKin­ ley, is attracting attention among sur­ geons. The case is that of Peter Arp, a laborer, 41 years of age, who oo Sept. 21 attempted to commit suicide because he was tired of living, accord­ ing to the hospital report. He shot himself through the left lung an»l both walls of his stomach. Instead of closing the wounds made by the operation, as was done in the president's • case, the surgeons left them open to prevent the formation of gangrene or pus.

"W. Washington telegram: Ig the Schley court of inquiry Mr. Rayner. chief of counsel for Admiral Schley, asked Judge Advocate Lemley f to summon Admiral Sampson as a witness in the case. The request grew out of a dif­ ference in the construction of a sen­ tence in Admiral Sampson's letter to Commodore Schley, written from Key West, May 20, while Commodore Schley with the flying squadron, lay off Clen- fuegos. This is known as the "Dear Schley" letter, and in it, as'printed In the navy department documents supplied to the senate, the admiral said, after expressing his opinion that notwithstanding the report that the Spanish squadron was in Santiago, It were better to continue to blockade Cieiifuegos and Havana, "we shall con­ tinue to hold Havana and Santiago until we receive more positive informa­ tion/' Asserts Mistake of Sampson. . During the examination of- Com­ mander Raymond P. Rodgers thfs dis­ patch was under consideration. Mr. Rayner expressed the opinion that the word "Santiago" had been Inadvertent­ ly used by the commander in chief, as­ suming that he meant to use the word "Cltonfuegos" as better corresponding with the context. As the document was printed there was a parenthetical note, to which Admiral Schley's in­ itials were attached, saying that evi­ dently the wrong city had been men­ tioned. Mr. Rayner asked Judge Advocate Lemly to make this concession, but the latter declined' to do so, saying he would produce the Original of Admiral Sampson's dispatch to prove he had said Santiago. Then Mr. Rayner said: "I cannot take that word Santiago to mean anything but Cienfuegos. It is an Imputation upon Commodore Schley and I cannot permit it to rest without summoning the author of that dis­ patch/' to which Captain Lemly re­ sponded: "I have told you once "before, yoo can summon anyone you please." "Then," retorted Mr. Rayner, "sum­ mon Admiral Sampson." Lieutenant Dyson was. recalled as the first witness of the day. Mr. Ray­ ner brought out the information con­ cerning the time the coal on each of the vessels of the flying squadron would have lasted on forced draft, ia chasing the enemy's vessels, taking the amount of coal on each on May 26, and leaving sufficient coal to return to Key West. Mr. Rayner read from Mr. Dy­ son's tabulated statement, showing the Iowa would have consumed 243 tons of coal a day, the Texas 160 tons a uay and the Marblehead seventy-seven tons. That estimate would, he said, give the Brooklyn 2.3 days' tfxase, the Iowa a chase of 1.2 days, the Texas a chase of three-fourths of a day and the Marblehead a chase of about one- third of a day. It was also shown that. the Massachusetts could have chased the enemy for 1.8 days. Commander Rodgers, who was exec­ utive officer of the battleship Iowa dur­ ing the summer of 1898, was then called, , and examined at length con­ cerning the coaling of the flying squad­ ron. Could you have coaled the Iowa on the afternoon of May 26?'VMr. Hanna asked. In the late afternoon, the weather being fine and smooth, I think there would have been no . trouble at all," replied the witness. Commander Albon C. Hodgson, who was the navigator of Commodore Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, was then called. After stating that he was on the bridge the day of the battle of July 3 he detailed the particulars of that engagement. How near was the Texas to the Brooklyn when the latter crossed her bow?" asked Captain Lemly. "I suppose It was about 250 or 800 yards." Have you ever given this Ultimate as nearer than that?" "Yes. sir." "What have you given before?" "One hundred and fifty yards." "Why do you change It now?" "Because I have read from my notes written the day after the battle and from notes I used on the board of nav­ igators. I concluded from those that my estimate at that time, when I gave It 175 to 250 yards, was too near. Also, X was very much Influenced by the thought that the navigating officer of the Texas would not think it was leas than 150 yards."

Al­ most suddenly the Boer fire began to slacken, and soon after the attackers withdrew, either learning that Gen- era» Bruce Hamilton was approaching, or, according to others, in sheer de­ spair of succeeding.
