In the garrison were 475 foyal fed?

It was seen that the rebels would
enter if possible by the main roads
which penetrated the I cart of the
capital.
Colonel Bsplnoxa sent a third of the
Btate Police, mounted, ti each of the
main loads, to repel lilt rebels. Be?
hind them were placed six squads, ot
fifty regulars each. The foot police,

The steady lire of the three-pounder
gave first warning to the inhabitants
that the battle was on. It did such
deadly work on the approaching rebels
that they were di layed. The garrison
meanwhile transported abundant am?
munition to all the outposts and com?
pleted all necessary preparations.
At 5 P. M. the bugles In the ca?

began lo fall by ones and twos here
and there, then by squads, a.- the as?

Despite the hail of destruction' rag?

rushed on. seemingly increasing in
numbers, until thoy were within 200

the machine guns and the waiting
cavalry.
Then for one instant the song of
the rnpld ftrcrs censed. The cavalry,
sabres and carbines sheathed. but
with revolvers in each hand, and the,
bridle reins hung about their necks,
leaped to meet the foe.

"speed boa\," but had teen constructed
under orders given by him ten mnke her I
tin- biggest and best coulinped vessel!
allont. No cost limit had been set.
Ilulldcrn r.t Fault.
?How did it happen that the Titanic
ha I only twenty life boats?*'
"That was a matter for' the build?
ers."
"In view of this experience you
have just gone through do you not
tli'nlv ii would be better to have the
number <>l lifeboats requited on ship
based "n passenger capacity Instead of
tonn age?"
"1 Ihink." said Mr. Ismay, "in view
of this catastrophe, that the whole I
question of life-saving alifllances and \
I devices should be carefully gone into
i.. determine just what should bo J
' done."
I "If the Titanic lml Cc rrled double!
'or treble the number of lifeboats'
would there have In en more livus
saved " asked Senator Smith. i
"Undoubtedly."
? Are you willing to ??Unit that you
are in favoi ?'f so I net eating the ,
number of lifeboats?" 1
i "Perfectly. 1 have given Instruc- .
lions already that none of our ships

In Increasing the numlvsr of lifeboats I
we probably shall liave to mako |
changes in the construction of the

cut down the nUb.ber -<f passengers."
Mr. Ismay told of th? great field of
j Icebergs that greeted those in tho
boats when dawn brohY lie said he
did not see the steanuV CallfOrnlan.
Senator Smith then asfevd him point?
edly what he did after hi boarded tho
Carpathla.
Courts Investigation.
"I understand thai my conduct on
board the Carpathla Ins been BOVerely
criticized," said Mr. Ismay. "I court
the fullest Investigation at the hands
of tho committee. 'I'.je tacts in the
ease are these: Whan I went aboard
1 was standing with my buck against
a biiikhi ad when sonio one came to mo
and suld: "Go Into Uie saloon and
have a bite of something hot or a
drink.'
"He repealed It twice, but t told him
. I would be happier If I could gel ort
by myself. He took me by the arm
und led me to a room, which proved to
be the doctor's room. I was not out
of there until -the Ckvrpathin docked. I
. was 111 and ale no sol d food on the
^run into New York.
j "The doctor did not neve a suite of
apartments on the .snip. He had his
one sinull room wlvlch lie slept and
! dressed in himself. I'eople were com
|ing and going through this room all
the time."
"What can you say. Mr. Ismay, as to
I the treatment yon Have been accorded
by this committee?"
"I have no crlraVIsm whatever to
Offer," said IVr. Ismay. "1 wus na?
turally disappointed not being per?
mitted to go home, but f suppose you
bad good reason for keeping me here."
"Do you think now that such was the
wisest course'.'"
"Yes, 1 think it was."
"Do you know of any criticism that
lean be madn of the officers and the
[ crew of the Titanic*?"
"None whatever."
Mr. Smith then said no would put

Mr. Ismay then said that he would
return to this country at any time
the committee might want him, and
that all the Information the committee
might want would be at its disposal.
-Mr. Ismay Was then excused, after
Senator Smith had tnnnke'd him for
I his testimony.
"I plan to sail for Kugland Thurs?
day on the Adriatic." said Mr. Ismay.
Asked about subpoena.-- in damage

turer and a survivor of the Titanic,
testified In the afternoon that he had
watched the speed ot the ship Par?
ticularly.
"When I went to bed Sunday night!
ubout ID o'clock. 1 told my wife that the
engines were going at an awful
rate," he said. "Being a inutiufaetur-.
er, 1 have a general knowledge of en-.
Bines, and it seemed to me that thei
Tita nie's engines were bo'ng strained."'
"Where were you when the accl-.
dent happened?"
"1 was moaning In my sleep, dream-j
'tilg. My wife awakened nie, and Just
then the crash came: 1 grabbed Who I
clothes I could and my wife put on ft
kimono, und we went on deck. '1 In
captain ruiid he thought It was se: lou
and my wife and 1 put or. life belts.' I
"Could you see the people?"
"No. but 1 could hear them. It was
a terrible wall.'
"Did you see any evidence of drink
lug among the officers ot the Titanic
that Sunday night?" asked Senatoi
Smith. j
"I did not." Stengel replied, "i re?
member hearing a Mrs. Thorite, who'
wua at the, dinner parvy Sunday night
which was attended by Captain Smith.!
remarking that the captain did not
drink a drop." Stengel was then .

Mr. Ismay was recalled to the Stand,
and Senator Bourno began his exami?
nation by inquiring into tin history,
extent and real status of tue White
Star Line, and the owners ol the Ti?
tanic
Mr. Ismay discussed tho official lati?
tude given to captains, and said they
were virtually unhampered. They wer<
not compelled to keep to the establish?
ed lanes, he said, when they felt that
safety demanded their deviation; they
were not Instructed to the <pced to
be maintained, and no specliied time
was flxeel for their arrival in port.
Everything was left to their discre?
tion, he addsd.
"What Impression has bee:i made
on you as a result of the ditaster?''
asked Senator Bourne, "as t'> the re?
forms In life-saving apparatus?"
"Well." said the witness. with de?
liberation. " I bel'evo there sh)uld be
higher bulkheads, double hull: or an
extension of tho double botttm and
life rafts that will be easy to launch,
or which might float free of tic ship
when it went down."
Senator Bourno 'nquired abort -Mr.
ISmay's order that no ships of bis
company should leave port without
sufficient lifeboat capacity for pas?
sengers and crew. Mr. Ismay said the
older would be adhered to, c/en If
passenger lists on all ships had to
be decreased.
The witness sat<i that Inspect o;i of
I the met chant ships by tho Brit.a:i or
I American naval authorities would not
he of any assistance or safeguard in
their construction.
"I would dislike very much to oper?
ate ships designed by naval construc?
tors," he iaid. "They go about it in
a way different frcjm ours."
Mr. Ismay was then excuse,;.
Grade Teil? Story.
Colonel Archibald Oracle t'.-.en was
called and 'old of the crash. He told
of the efforts to Induce Mr. and Mrs.

Mrs. Straus refused to leave her hus?

"W owatved tho rule against men
?entering ins boats." he w'u'.d. "and
urged Mr. Straus to go. He Slid, "No;
1 shall stay here and rhare the fate

The witness told of assisting Mis.
John Jacob Astor Into a lifeboat and
of Colonel Astor'B request, that he be i
allowed to accompany her.
"Why did Colonel Astor make the
request?" Inquired Senator Smith. j
"I think because of the condition

ing that he believed the officer who
prevented Astor from going probably
would have permitted It had he |
