A P»»l I in I nary Report.
WASHINGTON, D. 0.. October 30 —
It is learned to-night that the original
and unpublished report o? Admiral
Schley of the battle of Santiago to Ad
miral Sampson, referred to in the pro
ceedings before the court of inquiry to
day. was of a preliminary character
and differed from that subsequently
made in that it omitted mention alto
gether of the cruiser New York and
that it also requested that the latter
(Admiral Sampson i the commanding
officers or captains of the vessels en
gaged. transmit to him (Schley) their
detailed accounts of the action In order
that he might write a full and com
plete official report of the battle.
The suppressed preliminary report
made by Admiral Schley Is dated off
Santiago. July 3d. and is addressed to
Admiral Sampson, the commander-in
chief of the North Atlantic station. The
report in suhstanee describes the rom
ing out of the Spanish fleet front the
harbor of Santiago, and calls attention
to the fact that signals were made to
the vessels of the American fleet, which
were obeyed by all the ships. It then
proceeds to describe the fight and gives
briefly the part played in it by each
one of the ships, showing that the
Brooklyn, the Oregon, the Texas and
the Iowa remained in action until the
Visraya went ashore, and that the
Colon surrendered to the Brooklyn and
the Oregon. The Admiral commends
the bravery of all the American offi
cers for gallant and meritorious con
duct and for the superb handling of
their ships. Then follows some rou
tine matters, giving the Spanish losses,
the injuries to the American fleet and
the casualties. II then asks that Ad
miral Sampson have the commanding
officers transmit to him (Admiral
Schley) their detailed accounts of the
action in order that he might write a
full and complete official report of the
battle.

NEW YORK. October 30 As Henry
Fournier, the FYenoh rheffeur, was
I crossing the trucks of the lain* Inland
! railroad near West bury, in an autonio
| bile, in which five other men were
seated, the machine came into collision
with a locomotive and disastrous results
1 fallowed. All six men were hurt and
j the machine demolished. The names of
i those In the party and the extent of
; their iujttries are:
N B. Fullerton, special agent of the
I passenger department of the Kong
Island railroad, badly rut about the head
and face, and compound fracture of one
leg.
A. G. Batcheider. of the New York
Journal, and who is chairman of the
National Cyclists' Association board of
control; broken leg and other injuries
J. H. Gerrie, New York Herald,
broken shoulder and leg.
Arthur Lewis, of this city, cuts on
face and hand, and ankle sprained.
Henry J. Everall, of this city, bruises
and cuts, and leg sprained.
Henri Fournier, foot sprained.
Mr. Fournier said to-night that the
party was on its way home to Nnw
York when the accident occurred, hav
ing been out all duy in company with
Wm. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., in his machine,
looking for a good road on which it
was Fournier's intention to try' for the
mile record to-morrow.
"I had Just reached the crossing."
said he, "and the front wheels of my
machine were just touching the first rail
when the locomotive loomed up, and 1
realized that an accident was in
evitable.
"Not having had time to release the
power, 1 gave the handle a quick turn
which moved the front wheels to the
right and then the crash came. The
locomotive struck the machine two or
three inches behind the left front wbgei,
throwing it around so that the rear of
the automobile was brought against the
locomotive. The first thing I remember
is some oqe calling and asking me if 1
was dead. I think I was unconscious
for about a minute. The machine was
completely demolished. It was not one
of my racing machines. It was of only
ten horse power, very heavy, and was
built to hold six persons."
There is no flagman at the crossing,
which is hidden by buildiitgs, but an
automatic bell is supposed to ring on
the approach of a train. The members
of the party say it did not ring. The
railroad people. claim otherwise.
Fournier, who was handling the lever,
and Everall were thrown about fifty
feet. Fullerton and Batcheider were
■hurled 150 feet, while Lewis and Gerrie
were mixed up with the wreckage of
the machine. Foxhall Keene. W. K
Vanderbilt, Jr., and a party of ladi, s,
who were starting for the Meadow brook
hunt, saw the accident and gave aid to
the injured until a number of phy
sicians arrived.
Fournier and his companions were
taken in a special car to the Nassau ho -
pital at Mineoia, L. I. I-ater Fournict
Everall and Lewis were brought to
their homes in this city. Fullerton,
Batcheider and Gerrie are still at th-'
hospital, and the surgeons say Fuller
ton. although much more seriously hurt
than the others, will recover.

HUNTINGTON. W Va.. October 30 —
A number of representatives of the
United Mine Workers of America and
of different State organizations are
here to-night for a conference to-mor
row with both the organized and un
organized miners of West Virginia and
Virginia A similar conference was
held at Parkersburg last month and on
the report of the conferees at that time
President Mitchell has called the meet
ing for to-morrow to devise plans by
which the miners in these two States
can be organised into State unions and
made auxiliary to th« United Mine
Workers of America, the same as In
other coal producing States. State of
ficers from the Pennsylvania. Ohio, In
diana. Illinois. Kentucky and other coal
producing States are here to co-operate
with President Mitchell, Vice President
Lewis. Secretary Treasurer Wilson and
other national officer* in a Anal effort
to organise the miners of Virginia and
West Virginia. While the call for the
meeting to-morrow includes the min
ers of West Virginia. It is understood
that the main effort* at the present con
ference will be directed toward the
mines of West Virginia first and then
the organization will be extended to
the Old Dominion. The output of West
Virginia has become so enormous as to
seriously conflict with other Slates, es
pecially with Kentucky. Indiana. Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania, where there
is very little difference in the haul. It
is held that the operators in other
States claim they cannot pay the union
scale in competition with the lower rate
of the non-union mines in West Vir
ginia. and the conference will appeel
to the Virginia miners for the protec
tion of the union mines In other States.
The operators of West Virginia are
also represented here and are appealing
to their men against interference from
labor leaders in other States.
Over one hunureu neiegaieg iruiu
various miners’ organizations have ar
rived here for to-morrow's convention.
Kqually us many more delegates are ex
pected to-morrow. President Mitchell,
Secretary Wilson, Vice President Lew
is. W. it. Farley, of the executive board
of the United Mine Workers. ".Mother”
Jones and others were in conference to
night.
The first session will be held at 10
o'clock to-morrow and the meetings
may continue the remainder of the
remainder of the week.
The convention will propose a uni
form scale of wages on a basis equal
with that of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and
Pennsylvania and other competitive
fields. West Virginia has never had
even a formulated scale Several at
tempts have been made to effect a s'ale
hut always without success, and some
of those present are doubtful as to
the success of the present conference In
that respect.

LONDON. October 30.—William C.
Whitney's Water Shed (J. Kelff) won
the Cambridgeshire stakes at the New
market Houghton meeting to-day.
This Is one of tne ( lassie races of the
English turf and ranks on a par with
the Derby and St. Ledger. It also
marks the termination of one of the
most successful invasions ever made in
England by an American horseman.
Mr. Whitney, besides annexing innum
erable minor and semi-important races,
won the Derby thts year with Volody
vskl. the first foreign horse to come
under the wire in this event since the
American bred Dobbins won in the
seventies. Mr. Whjtney’s Water Shed,
which won the Cambridgeshire stikes
yesterday, was ridden by little Johi)nie
Reiff, his American jockey.
