|New York, Nov.. 2.—"Max O'Rell'',
leads th§ columns of The Figaro with,
article which warns the French and

He points but that the press now ful

Its influence a/nd its prestige, owing to
„the advance of democracy. -, •...
"It is the American prefia alone/' he
says, "wfclch four years ago was the
cause of the war between Spain and.
America.' It Is the press which three
years ago all but succ'feeded 'in pfbvofo
ing war between iFrance and England
by mutual bombardment, lies/ preju
dice and instilt. It i$ thfr press which
one of these days will succeed in
causing this war.
•••rf "Since the press has. been styled the.
gfreat luminary of the universe, its
first duty," concludes M. O'Rell, "is to
enlighten. And how can journalists,
enlighten ^silvers Svhen they are them
selves in darkness?"
He therefore urges hi- colleagues
Of the press to refrain from \writingson
any subject with which they have not
at least an elementary acquaintance.
If all writers worked-on this plan. M.

Recall of- Rear: Admiral Schley Will
-Close the Testimony at the tlf
Counsel Announces an Agreement: as
to. Order of Making the Argu-..
ments to Court.
Evidence Covers 1,700 Pages and an
Early Decision tbes Not Seem
Probable.
Washington, Nov. 2—The Schley
court of Inquiry began its 'proceedings
with-the iinuerstanding that with tJie
exception o^ some witnesses who will
be recalled to correct their testimony
on Monday, the last testimony wcrtiid
be taken before adjournment for the
day^ vThere were only two witnesses
on 'the list and the understanding
when the court opened was that after
they should have been heard the'
couirt &ould' ikdjourn until Monday.
Admiral Schley was in the court
room half an hour before proceedings
bega/n but he announced that he would'
not be able to Undertake the correction
of his testimony before next Monday.
"There were five wlhole days of it,"
he said-, "and to go over it and make
the, .necessary corrections is no light
task."
It is probable that'he will have
Bomething more to say concerning his
interview on May 18, with Admiral
Sampson relative to which Captain
Chad wick testified Thursday.
4
|t Is. not n^w intended to calf anV
•wltnes&es to surrobuttal and It is ex
pected that the argument will begin
soon after Admiral Schley concludes
the correction of -his' testimony.- How
long the court may take to consider
the evidence is entirely problematical!
Tlie m&mibers of the tribunal are eyi:
dehtly preparing to devote consider
able time to the c^hsiderayon of ilhe
testimony, for they have taken rooms
in the city for this purpose. The tes
timony covers 1,600 printed pages and
the court sat 36 days in listening to it.
With the additions- yet to be made in
the way of argument and documents
•the record probably will run over 1,700
pages.
The court was six minutes late in
entering tlhe hall, this 'being the first
time that absolute promptness has not
been observed. Judge Advocate lem
ly announced that counsel had agreed
on the order of the speeches in closing
the case, subject to the sanction of the
court. Mr. Hanraa is to open for the
department. He will be followed by
Captain Parker and Mr. Rayner for
Admiral: Schley and Judge Advocate
Lemly will close for the department
Admiral Dewey announced that this
arrangement was satisfactory to the
court.
Character of the Argument.
Captain Lemly. then brought up Che
question of the character of the argu
ment to be made, saying:
"I would like, for my own informa
tion, to ask thfe instructions of the
court as to whether or not we are ex
pected, in the closing argument, to
confine ourselves to the evidence and
to the scope of. the precept as defined
by the court.- I mean the arguments
made both by counsel for the applicant
and by my associate and myself."
Mr. Rayner—-"We have to oonfine
ourselves to the evidence but I do not
want to be entirely restricted. We
cannot allude to any'facta that are not
in the evidence, but we will, in making
our allusion do it very respectfully
and within proper bounds
Captain Lemly—'Tthink that should
be-the general scope of the argument.
The court has defined the scope of the
precept, but of course we could not
undertake and- the court wont under
take to restrict ourselves entirely, I
assume, in stating just exactly the
words and the manner and so on. That
would be a question whicb at the time
they would have to .say whether it
was proper or not."
Mr. Rayner—"Of course, In malting
an argument, we wont pretend to refer
to anything not in the record. We
are bound, by that,. but I do not want
to have any more restrictions placed
upon my argument than I would In
any other court I want the constitu
tional right to argue this case within
proper bounds and with great pespgct
to everybody concerned, but to make
criticisms as they appear proper to
me, or to make comment. If I should
find, for instance, that I believed a wit
ness' has not told the trutih&il should
not hesitate to say so,"
Captain Lemly—"That is/right."
-vs Admiral Dewey—"There/ .wont be
any trouble about that."'" When we
come to the bridge we "will cross it."
Correspondentjh tlie Stand.
Sylvester Seovil was therf3called as
the first witness of the «ay. He said
that while, on the "press boat Seiners
N. Smith as a newspaper corrrespond
«at on May 27 or 28 it came up with
the St. PanI, of which Captain SIgsbee
was in command, off $he ashore at &au
tlagOr There was a conversation with
Captain Sigsbee through the mega
phone, and he himself had used the
megaphone in conducting the Inter
view.
Witness eaid' tdMrt the Somers N.
Smltfc was about 75 or 100 feet from
the St Paul during the conversation.
"Giver-us, as nearly as,you can, the
words of that conversation," «aid Cap
tain Lemly.
"We had been sent to find Oommo-
ccurse, was ""Wliere is Bcnieyr and.
the answer from Captain Sigsbee was
'You will finid him in the Yucatan pas
sage' and then, inasmuch as our boat
was very slow, I asked him to advise
me whether he thought we could cdfch
Commodore Schley if we followed him
and he stated 'yes.'
"The second question was 'Where
Is- Cervera?', and ln answer to that
Captain Sigsbee did not speak for a
moment. He consulted with somebody
on the bridge of" the ship and then an
swered 'I am not sure, but we caught
an English collier trying to sneak into
the harbor this morning.'. That was
all the conversation I remember to
hare had with Captain Sigsbee per
sonally. Other men on the boat had
some conversation with him."
"Did Captain" Sigsbee during any
time of the. conversation inform you
that the Spanish squadron was not in
Santiago?"
"He did not tell us that the Span
iards were not there."
On cross-examination Mr. Seovil
shid that he had. been ait the mega
phone part of the time. He could not
say whether others on board ,the press
boat had talked with Captain Sigsbeei
Mr. Scovil was then excuse., and a
number of the witnesses of the previ
ous day were called for the purpose of
making corrections in their testimony.
Lieutenant Hood Recalled.
Lieutenant John Hood., who com
manded the. Hawk during the Spanish
war, was .then- recalled. He was ques
tioned on the point made by Admiral
Schley in-his testimony that the com
mairdiijgvofficer of the Dolphin had fil
ed with the navy department a mem
orandum in which he said, speaking
of Hood's return from his mission to
Commodore Schley while the latter
lay off Cienfuegos, "Hood says a good
many officers do not believe the Span-'
iards and there (at Cienfuegos) at all.
but they can only surmise."
In reply to a question as to what
report he ha4 made on which such a
memorandum could have been based,
witness replied:
"I reported to the commanding of
ficer of the Dolphin that I conversed
with a number of officers and I dld not
believe thyself nor did many of the
officers believe, as far as I could make
out,., that th-e Spani&rds wev&f tbere,
that there was no reason for believing
they were there and. that I thought
Commodore Schley had convinced
himself they were there on very slen
der grounds."
Mr. Hanna—"Did you or did you not
make any report to the commanding
oflicer of the Dolphin which would
warrant the use of language embodied
in that memorandum?"
"I did make such a report, one war
ranting stronger language than that."
Mr. Hanna—"How did you get the
notes in reference to boarding the
Adula?"
How He Secured Information.
"I never boarded the Adula. I re
turned to the flagslhip Brooklyn after
collecting the mail under Commodore
Schley's orders about 11 o'clock. Just
as came on board I met Lieutenant
Simpson of the ^Brooklyn, who had
Tjoarded the Adula and had his wrlttan
report. I asked him to let me see it,
as there might be valuable information
in it, which he did. I then told him I
wanted a c°Py of it to take back to the
admilal as there was, in my opinion,
very valuable iiifbrmation in it. Simp
son atfd myself went to the executive
officer's ..office and he reaid the notes
over. He had the executive officer's
writer make a copy for me to take
back to the admiral as valuable infor
mation."
Lieutenant Hood said in reply to a
question from Mr Rayner that the
notes which he had carried back to the
Dolphin were those made by Lieuten
ant Simpson hence It was Lieutenant
Simpson and not himself who had
boarded the British ship.
Lieutenant Hood was then excused
and a number of telegrams and official
dispatches, which have been hereto
fore put in, were introduced at this
point for the convenience of counsel.
Captain Lemly then stated that he
had one more witness whom he desir
ed to call on Monday, owing to the
fact that he was too ill to appear at
present and It was also stated that
Admiral Schley would take the stand
for the purpose of correcting his testi
mony.- Mr. Raymtar said he would have
no more witnesses except, possibly,
the admiral himself.
There being no further business be
fore the court an adjournment was
taken at 12:45 until, Monday at 11
a. m.
WELCOMED AT PORTSMOUTH.
Naval Pageant In Honor of the Duke

Portemout/h, Eng., Nov. 2.—The np.
•al pageant in honor of the return of
the Duke and Duchess at Cornwall

the ceremonial attending their de
"parture. The town amd harbor were

Mines Being Placed at the Mouth of
the... Dardanelles and Army
Corps Forming.
Paris, Nov. 2.—The dispatch from
Toulon announcing the return of Ad
miral Caillard's division of the French
Mediterranean squadron to that port
proves to be incorrect. The officials
of the foreign offico informed the Asso
ciated Press that the.admiral has not
returned and that the facts sei forth
in these dispatches Thursday are cor
rect. The admiral is now. on his way
to Turkish waters.
The incorrect announcement from
Toulon of the return pf Admiral Cail
lard's division, which created a great
sensation, emanated from the corre
spondent of a well known news
agency: The explanation is that Ad
miral Maigret, comnianfder of the Med
iterranean fleet, returned to Toulon at
7 o'clock Thursday evening with all
his vessels except those belonging to
Admiral Caillard's division. The cor
respondent of the news agency re
ferred to iniscounted the vessels owing
to the darkness.
A corrected list of Admiral Cail
lard's vessels is now published. The
list cabled Thusday was that of his or
dinary light division, but it appears
that a special squadron was formed,
composed of the battleships Gaulois
and Charlemagne, the cruisers Ad
miral Bothuau, Chanzey and Galilee,
and two torpedo boat destroyers of the
Hallabarde type.
A Constantinople telegram received
by wary of fhillipopolis asserts that
the sultan has resolved to defy the
French government and has ordered
the defense of Salonica, Smyrna, and
Mitylene.
Mines have besn placed in the Dar
danelles and preparatory orders have
been issued for the mobilization of two
army corps. The telegram further
states that anti-foreign fanaticism pre
vails throughout the city.
