In the\ meantime efforts were made to
havethe ransom reduced; and on Novem
ber lplt was announced' that the captors
had agreed to accept £15,000 (Turkish)—
about $82,000. On December 2 came a re
port of Miss Stone's death", which was
later denied. There were further reports
from time to time of her death, and these
were as often denied. ' <
An appeal was made to the United
States Government, which, while it could
not ; legally, furnish the money for the
ransom, , instructed its representatives
near ; the. scene , to take proper action in
the matter with : the Turkish arid Bulga
rian governments. ¦ • •

full of Interesting" incidents. ; Reception

that- during the day , : the * admiral 'shook
hands with more, than 5000 persons, men,'

The admiral entered the building through
two lines of boys holding palms- 'over
his head,, while- the 'children -sang "See,"
the Conquering Hero Comes.? r After be
ing introduced - he".' made a short speech,
in which; he "said that ; honor and honesty
are the handmaids of valor. He :• said,
too, that he was very, glad. to] have ¦ .f .'the
school . named after him. . A small boy
piped up, "I am glad- they named it after
you," 'whereupon there wereshbnts of
laughter and general: applause. • The ; WO
children;' In -attendance marched by trie
admiral, who shook hands with every ono
oi them.
Rear Admiral .Schley's brief will be
made. public on -Wcineaday. It follows
closely the bill of exceptions submitted
by the rear admiral to Secretary Long,
though it is more comprehensive. It.pre
sents no new facts, but submits elaborat-j
reasons why the finding of the .court,
which are adverse, to Rear Admiral
Schley, should be disapproved. The' de-;
partment's reply will.be made public on
Thursday. The action of the President
will .follow, but It has not yet' bnen
framed, though. its character' is generally
known. . ;
"See, the Conquering, Hero Comes."
Captain Clark .is also quoted as saying
that the 13-inch guns of the Oregon were
fired at the Colon during tne fight upon
the initiative of "his own officers and not
in obedience to . any orders from the
Brooklyn, though Rear Admiral- Schloy
and Ensign McCauley asserted that such
orders' were signaled. ;
There is no such signal as "follow, the
flag"' given in the signals of the Brook
lyn, and in C the testimony of Ensign Mc-
Cauley no reference is made to it, and
Lieutenant Commander Reginald Nichol
son, navigator of. the Oregon, did not 'see
it.* . Captain Clark stated that he started
in for the r mouth of Santiago harbor,be
fore he saw any signal from the "Brook
lyn. This action was . under the general
squadron order issued by. Rear Admiral
Sampson. . '
No "Follow the Flag" Signal.

will be disposed of adversely to the ap
pellant. There is" no ' longer ; any doubt
that Roosevelt will uphold the findings
of the court of inquiry" which investigat
ed the conduct of .Rear /Admiral Schley
during the war. with" Spain.* Those who
claim ' to . have . special knowledge of the
President's' views .even say that he will
pass upon the question of command, and'
that while Rear Admiral Schley will re
ceive the commendation due, to an officer
who participated in the battle the credit
for the victory will -be awarded to Rear
Admiral Sampson.
