TFIND

The Exceptions Keatl Almost Like an
Arraignment of the Officer Iray
Tlmt Approval of Opinion of Majority
lie Withheld.
Washington, D. C, dispatch: Rear
Admiral Schley's exception to the find
ings of the court of inquiry were sub
mitted to Secretary of the Navy Long
late in the afternoon.
The exceptions read almost like an
arraignment of the ollkers who made
up the majority report.
In addition to the protest against
the majority finding permission was
asked to reply oraliy to the objections
of Sampson to the Dewey finding.
The Sampson objections were to have
been filed simultaneously with those of
Schley, but it was learned that they
would not be put in until late.
Long ItrervPH Statement.
Secrtary Leng almost immediately
after the receipt of the communication
called Judge Advocate Lemly and the
solicitor of the department, Mr. Hanna.
into conference. At its conclusion the
Secretary said that he had no state
ment to make regarding any action
that he might take in the premises.
He, however, indicated to Mr. Teague
through the Judge Advocate, that he
would not hear an oral argument by
Mr. Rayner regarding Rear Admiral
Sampson's piotest. but that he would
receive a written statement.
The Kzccpfioas in 1'itrU
The bill of exceptions in part is as
follows:
"1. The majority of the court have
given their opinion that Commodore
Schley should have proceeded with the
Utmost dispatch off Cienfuegos when
there was no specification covering this
subject, and when the applicant did
not have sullicient opportunity to bring
In proper and convincing evidence in
reference thereto and when the only
evidence taken by the court on this
subject was directly contraiy to the
opinion rendered.
"2. The majority of the court have
held that the applicant should have
endeavored to open communication
with the insurgents at the place desig
nated in the memorandum by Com
mander McCalla. delivered to him on
the morning of the 2Md of May. 1S9S.
when, in fact, there was no place men
tioned in said memorandum as being
a place at which a camp of insurgents
was located.
"3. The majority of the court have
arrived at the opinion stated in tho
foregoing paragraph without regard to
the fact, which was pioven by an over
whelming wc ight of testimony, that the
saiii McCalla memorandum was sent to
Commodore Schley only for use in
connection with the information it con
tained relative to certain batteries at.
or being constructed in tlie vicinity of,
the entiance to the harbor of Cienfue
gos. as is attested by the order No.
dated May P. IS'as. and sent to Com
modore Schley by Admiral Samp.-on.

abandoned any charge cf the contrary.
Frayer of Applicant.
Thus the bill goes on at great length,
being numbered under thirty-one heads
in all, and closing as follows:
"Wherefore, the said applicant most
respectfully prays that approval of the
opinion of the majority of said court of
inquiry be withheld, and that said
opinion be disapproved and that he
may be afforded the opportunity to
have the testimony of record of himself
and his witnesses properly considered
and passed upon, and that the proceed
ings be remitted to the court for that
purpose, and that he be given such
other and further relief as he is en
titled to in the premises.

Bombay dispatch: It is feared hero
that fresh trouble is brewing on the
Persian gulf. Mabarouk. the Sheik of
Kowat. the proposed terminus of the
Ragdad. railroad, has recently refused
to allow a special commission, sent by
Sultan from Constantinople, to land,
and declined to accede to the Saltan's
desire that he visit the Yildiz palace
at Constantinople and make obeisance
to his suzerain. Mabarouk has also
threatened a revival of the troubles
with Ibu Rashid. the Emir of Nejd.
who. at the instigation of the Turks,
has collected a fresh army. Mabarouk
has again appealed for British pro
tection. At Koweyt are the British
third-class cruiser I'omone and gun
boat Redbreast. The Russian American-built
ruiser Yariag has arrived in
the Persian gulf. Her powerful search
lights and heavy guns have greatly
impressed the natives. The Variag's
commander is paying marked atten
tions to the Sultan of Muscat, and
Russian doctors are investigating the
healthfulnes.s of Ormuz Kishi. opposite
Runder Abbas.

The verdit carries no penitentiary
sentence. Immediately upon the read
ing of the jury's finding Mr. Sullivan's
attorneys moved for a new trial, and in
the event that this is ilenied they will
appeal the case to the Appellate Court.
lyterjr of Two Death Cn solved.
The mystery surrounding the death
of John F. Bull and wife, reported at
Parsons, Kan., Is still unsolved. The
most probable theory is that their
death was due to the accidental es
cape of natural gas, and the coroner's
Jury returned a verdict accordingly,
but there are many circumstances that
do not sustain such a verdict. Colonel
Bull was in the Twelfth Ohio during
the war and was a prominent member
of G. A. R. post No. 81. He was on
the pension rolls on account of heart
disease.
