DISPUTED POINTS SETTLED The Inquiry Into the Naval Battle of Santiago Ordered by Admiral Sampson Which Has Been ,in Progress for}: Month is Finished and All Differences. of Opinion Are Harmoniously Adjusted. New York, Oct. 12.—All disputes re- garding the naval battle of Santiago have been settledbfiicially. There is no longer any Sampson-Schley contro— versy. For that matter there nevus. was a Sampson-Schley controversy, so far as those distinguished naval ofil- cers were themselves conce u- irresponsible and ignorant wri ers both in the yellow daily press and the cur- rent periodicals, succeeded in raising an issue. In this they were aided to an extent by the over enthusiasm and loyalty to their immediate chief of some of the younger officers of the navy. . Statements ‘vere made and printed seriously, which were so utterly absurd as to cause doubts whether or not there ever was a great sea fight under the shadow of the Santiago mountains. Even the honor of high officers we. questioned. Some action was imperav tive. To lay the ghosts of jealousy malice and uncharitableness, as well as for the sake of Historical accuracy, Rear Admiral Sampson determined up- on ‘an inquiry which would be thor- ough, official and final. This inquiry has been held under the auspices of the Navy department and completed. It was begun early in September and finished Monday after- noon. The board has prepared an exhaust- ive report, which has been forwarded to Secretary Long, accompanied by charts and documents. The chief issues before the board re- lated to the parts taken in the battle by the two,fiagships, New York and Brooklyn. Many other questions came. up incidentally. The board was made up as fol- lows: Lieutenant Commander Wainwright of the Gloucester, presiding officer. Lieutenant Samuel P. Comly of the Indiana. Lieutenant Lewis C. Heilner of the Texas. Lieutenant William H. Schuetze of the Iowa Lieutenant Albon C. Hodgson of the Brooklyn. Lieutenant William H. Allen of the Oregon. Lieutenant Edward E. Capehart of the New York. The orders for the inquiry were is- sued by Admiral Sampson on Septem~ her 2. Personally, he thought there was no necessity for such an inquiry, and. Admiral Schley concurred with him in that opinion. men of the American navy had done their duty. The plans of the comman- der-in-chief had been carried out faith-9 5 at last becoming reconciled to the ev-- ' The ships, ofiicers and ' fully, and the most wonderful naval ‘ victory in the history of deep waters . had been won. Both Sampson and Schley were sat- isfied with the results of their work, and the effort to stir up personal jeal- ousy between them failed signally. The orders to the board were to make a “complete, thorough and final" , inquiry into various specified questions, ' among which were: 1. The relative positions of the Am- erican ships when Cervera came out, and throughout the battle. '2. The course of the Brooklyn‘ imme- diately after the alarm. 3. The distance from the Colon when the Spaniard sur- rendered. 4. The signals which were made by the Brooklyn. 5. The orders issued by Sampson in preparation for an attempted e'scape cf Cervera. Up the Philippines. N0 HELP FROM THE POWERS Vain Appeal to the French Government for’Intornation-ul Action on the Quest- ion. The French \Vould Prefer Amer]- Cau Owner Ship to German. Madrid, Oct. 10.~—Senor Sagasta is entual loss of the Philippines, though it is a most bitter disappointment to the queen regent and the cabinet, for until Wednesday the secret hope had been cherished by the premier that Spanish diplomacy might prevail upon France, Germany and other powers to exert their influence to withdraw the final settlement of the Philippine ques- tion from the Paris commission and refer it to an international conference in case the United States should insist upon anything more in the archipelago than a port and a coaling station. These hopes have now vanished, for it is stated on good authority that the French foreign office, being sounded on the subject, expressed most courteous and genuine sympathy but declined to hold out a single word of promise or encouragement. It is now beginning to be realized in ministerial circles here that the French government, aware of the intention of Spain ultimately to dispose of what- ever can be saved from the Philippine wreck to the highest cash bidder, would rather see the whole archipelago an- nexed outright by the United States than have it remain a bone of conten- tion, with the likelihood of its being some day transferred to Germany. Such, at least, is the present situa- tion, subject of course to modifications when the American demands are act- ually known in detail. As far as can be ascertained, no in- terchange of views has taken place here between the cabinets of Madrid and Berlin with a view to referring the Philippine question to an international conference; so that any threats of be- ing able to achieve such a diplomatic victory may be regarded as a pure - bluff.. General Weyler, whose recent arri- val here from the Balearic islands cau- ses considerable uneasiness in circles friendly to the dynasty, is believed to have at last made his choice between - the Carllsts and the Republicans and to have cast his lot with the latter. It is learned from sources that have hither- to proved trustworthy that Weyler is zealously working with a newly form- ed committee whose sphere of activity is Portugal as well as Spain, and whose aim is to proclaim after the signature of peace an Iberian republic uniting the whole peninsula, with Weyler as pres- ident. A rise of a few points has taken place in the six per cent. Philippine bonds, which are held almost exclusively at Madrid, Barcelona and Manila, and are largely in the hands of Jesuits and the monastic orders which have rela- tions with the Philippines. Llliuokalani Wants Us to Pay. San rancisco, Oct. 10.——The United States transport Valencia has arrived here from Manila and Honolulu.

When the Brooklyn returned to Tompkinsville she was made the meet- ing place of the board which convened in Admiral Schley’ s cabin and discus- sed the vexed questions around the very table where Schley sat when he said “the credit is Sampson’s." The ships' logs were produced, a chart was blocked out and the battle of Santiago was fought over again. Although the work of the board con- sumed much time, it was not spent in bickering. The representatives of the ‘ different ships found that they agreed upon nearly all points, and that there - was really nothing for anybody to wor- ry about. In summing up it appears that: 1. The battle was fought and won upon plans prepared by Sampson. ,3. 2. Any directing of the movemen of ships done by Schley during the bat- tle was inconsiderable. 3. The New York had no active part in the fight. A 4. The Brooklyn was not engaged at so close quarters as had been represen-l ted by the first report. which she feels that the people of the United States owe her some pecunia- ry compensation.

ROGKEPELLER ON THE BACK 01110 State Oflicials Trying to Find Out Why it Takes So Long a Time to Liqui- date the Concern. Chairman Rockefel- ler Has a Very Poor Memory at Times New York, Oct. 12,—The investigation having for its object an attempt to prove that the Standard Oil Company is in contempt of the supreme court of the state of Ohio was begun yesterday morning in the parlor of the New Am- sterdam hotel, Fourth avenue and 21st street. Those who are conducting it are the attorney general of the state of Ohio, Frank S. Monett, and Special Commis— sioner Allen T. Brinsmade of Cleveland, representing the supreme court of the state of Ohio. They are assisted by E. B. Kink- head, a lawyer of Columbus, who said yesterday that John D. Rockefeller would be present and testify before the investigating commission. He explain- ed the case, saying: “In the case of Attorney General Mo- nett against the Standard Oil Company of Ohio. judgment was rendered by the supreme court of Ohio debarring the company from participating in or hav- ing connection with the trust. It was held that the famous Standard Oil agreement was void. That was in 1892. Immediately afterwards the Standard Oil trust called a meeting of the cer- tificate holders, the meeting being held in New York city on March 21,, 1892. At‘ that time steps were taken to dissolve the trust, and liquidating trustees'were appointed to wind up its affairs, so the trust maintained. It has been six years since that meetl'iig' and all of that time has been taken up in liquidating the trust. " Mr. Kinkhead said that the state of Ohio spent much time in flying to get at the intention of the trust. Mr. Rockefeller once consented to answer some questions, and the commission was here to get those questions answer- ed by him. J . D. ROCKEFELLER Mr. Kinkhead said that the commis- sion had powers to examine all the books and papers of the trust. He said he expected to have as witnesses, be- sides Mr. Rockefeller, George Rice, an Ohio oil refiner, and Virgil Kline of Cleveland, a member of the company. John D. Pockefeller arrived at the hotel at 10.19 o’clock, soon after the examination proceedings had been op— ened by Special Commissioner Brins- made. Mr. Rockefeller was immediately put upon the stand and questioned by Wil- liam Flagg of this city, who is asso- ciated with Commissioner Brinsmade and Attorney General Monett. Mr. Rockefeller testified that New York was his summer residence. He admitted that he was chairman of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio. He said that the books of the company, he un~ derstood, were kept at No. 26 Broad- way, this city. He also said that he was president of the defendant com- pany Mr. Rockefeller was then asked who were the ofiicers of the Standard Oil Company in 1892. This question was objected to on the ground that Mr. Rockefeller had previously answered this question in Ohio. The objection was made by Mr. Kline, who appeared as attorney for Mr. Rockefeller. He declared that these preliminary questions had been an- swered, and it was a waste of time to repeat them. Finally Mr. Rockefeller said that the names and addresses of the members of the Standard Oil Company on March 2,1892, were John D. Rockefeller, New York; Frank Rockefeller, Cleveland, F. B. Squire, Cleveland; Charles W. Harkness, Cleveland. Mr. Rockefeller also testified that the gentlemen named and the trustees of the company were the stockholders oi the company. Mr. Rockefeller said he could not tell from memory Whether there was a meeting of the directors of the company at which they considered the judgment taken against the com- pany on March 2,1892, at about that time. . Mr. Flagg put the question in sev- eral different ways, but apparently did not get a satisfactory answer. Much of the time of the morning and afternoon sessions was taken up by the wrangling of the opposing attorneys. ,_ Big Grain Exports. New York, Oct. 12.--The orders for ° grain for export yesterday reached the largest total of the year. The engage— ments include 1,500,000 bushels of wheat and 1,000,000 bushels of corn, besides 200,000 bushels each of- oats and rye. The announcement ran the Chicago price of corn up from 63 3- 4 cents of- Monday to 64 5- 8 cents, which was the closing price. Four Train Robbers Caught.

A L EVACUATION WITHOUT DELAY. Selection of Camp Sites i’or Our Soldier: in Cuba. Madrid, Oct. 11.—-It is said here that the evacuation of the island of Porto Rico will be completed next week, and that the evacuation of the island of Cuba. will be accomplished by the end of November.’ ‘ The government is employing tWenty- one.vessels in the repatriation of the troops.

Havana, Oct. 11.—The special Ameri- can commission charged to select sites for camps for the American troops to be sent here shortly, visited Guanajay, Mariel and other places in the province of Pinar del Rio Sunday. The commissioners travelled by a special train, which returned here Sun- day night. They have decided that a camp is to be located on the hills in the vicinity of Guanajay, and it is re- ported that the first American troops will reach there about November 10. The railroad engineers report the roads as being-in a very bad condition at the present time. At nine o’clock Monday morning Gen- eral Wade, Colonel Clous, Captain Hart and Lieutenant Wade had an in- terview with Captain General Blanco. The conference lasted only for twelve minutes. THE TEXAS READY Report That She \Vill Go to Manila. New York, Oct. 11.——The battleship Texas was \towed out of ‘the Brooklyn navy yard yesterday by the tugs Nina. and Narkeeta, and went down to the government anchorage off Tompkins: ville. ‘ _ Captain Sigsbee, formerly of the ill fated battleship Maine, said that he knew nothing as to what the future movements of the vessel would be. "In the yard it was common rumor that the Texas was to join the Iowa and the Oregon on their trip to the Pacific station. ' Although this is denied by the au- thorities at the yard, it is evident that the vessel is to go on a long voyage, as her coal bunkers have been filled to the b1'1n1; she has taken on more am- munition that she ever carried before; she has been provisioned for at least six months, and all the short-term men on board have been sent to the re- ceiving ship VeFfi'font and replaced by recruits. No Business Boom at Honolulu. San Francisco, Oct. 11.—Rear Admi- ral Miller, who will retire from the navy during this month, warns people against going to Honolulu in the ex- pectation of making their fortune. He says: “The simple fact that the form of government is going to change has not opened up additional resources or ex~ tended any which have been in exist- ence. There are no new positions for people who go in, and there are not likely to be any.” The admiral, however, thinks that there is a great future in store for the islands. The Call says that when the Gaelic leaves this port to-day she will have on board two local bankers, bound for awaii. Upon their arrival a bank will be established in Honolulu, which will be called the First National ank of Hawaii, with a capitalization of one million dollars. Mr, Chamberlain on Our Policy. Paris, Oct. 11.—The Evenement yes- terday published the substance of an interview with Mr. Joseph hambeCrlain who is now in America, in which the English statesman is quoted as saying that he considers the United States to be in the same position as Great Bri—' taln in Egypt, adding that America has the same imperative duty to keep the Philippines. Mr. Chamberlain con- tinues: “The moment has arrived for the United States to prepare for an exten- sion of its territory, and in order to realize this ideal she will not refuse Great Britain’s support. United. Great Britain, the United States and Canada will be invulnerable.” Conclave of Knights Templar Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 11.—Ten thous— and Knights Templars have arrived for the triennial conclave which was open- ed formally with receptions at all the public buildings last evening.

The Hostile Pillagers Gathering to Attack Troops. GEN. BACON’S ULTIMATUM Leader of the Government Force at Leech Lake Indian Reservation \Vill Hold the Last Council To way. Treuclierous Dealings. Walker, Minn., Oct. 11.—-The Indian sitUation at Leach lake is still 0min- ous. After a fruitless council at the age ency Sunday, General Bacon announc— ed that the last council would be held Monday and the Indians dispersed. Flatmouth and his band of forty Chippewa Indians may be seen on the war path before another day has pas- sed. At a council held yesterday be de- livered a message asking that the troops be taken away from the agency and informing the authorities that in event of a refusal he would join the hostile Pillager Indians. Sunday’s council was held between the Indians, General Bacon, Colonel Harbach, Indian Agent Sutherland and Marshal O’Connor. N 0 one of the lead- ing Indians was present. There were, however, representatives from Bear island, Cass Lake, Ottertail Point and Pine Point, but none of those has influence with the tribesmen. They were sent merely as stool pigeons. On Saturday thirty canoe loads of Bear Island Indians and their fami- lies, professing to be peaceful, arrived 'at the agency. All the bucks in the party left presumably for Bear island to join the hostiles. ~ Several hundred armed Indians are probably on the island, and more are on the road. Bea-r island men still at the agency say they know nothing in regard to dead and wounded among the Indians jrom last Wednesday's fight. It is reported by a. citizen who has talked with a hostile Pillager Indian who was in Wednesday’s battle, and who has sat in all councils of the Pil- lagers, that the Indians have sworn to an agreement to accomplish, if possi- ble, the following: They will attempt in a. few days to drive from the reservation all troops. If successful, they will try to prevent any United States authorities or troops from landing upon the reservation. The man who gave this information is believed to be thoroughly reliable. He has had a conference with General Bacon. Up to date the hostile Indians have made no attacks upon white settlers. There are no indications that they will do this. Rumor of Indian Attack. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 11.——A dis- patch from Bermidji, Minn., yesterday, said that a rumor that Indians were coming caused a stampede. The people were greatly ecited and massed at the court house. The sol- dicrs were telegraphed for. Troops Leave for the Front. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 11.—Monday morning 130 of the Fourteenth Minne- sota regiment left for towns of the Fosston extension of tthe Great North- ern road on the northern border of the Leech Lake reservation. Lieutenant Colonel Johnson was in command, and had with him Major Schaefer, Captain Holmes, Adjutant Winne, Surgeon Dorsey, Lieutenants Baker. Brisbin, Smiley and O’Brien and Quartermaster Cox. The men carried tents, 100 rounds of ammunition and several days' rations. All the twelve companies are repre- sented. They will be stationed mostly at Fer- ris and Mermijl, whence have come re- ports of panic at supposed menaces of parties of Indians. Roosevelt “’1“ Stir Up the State, New York, Oct. 11.——The plans of the Republican leaders for the cam- paign are being definitely formed. Col- onel Roosevelt was at headquarters in the Fifth Avenue hotel yesterday, and he said that he would start out on a tour of the state next Monday morning. Where he will go first, and other de- tails of the trip have not yet been ar- ranged, but it can be stated upon the colonel’s authority that he will appear in every section of the state. If he de- cides to make his tour by special train a special route will be mapped out, but if he uses the regular train service dates will have to be arranged to suit. From all parts of the state requests are coming in for the Republican can- didate to come and speak. Necessarily many of these invitations will have to ' be refused, but Colonel Roosevelt will visit all the great centers of popula- tion, thereby giving the greatest pos- sible number an opportunity to see and hear him. ‘ Contract Sergeons. Washington, Oct. Ila-Judge Advo‘ cate General Lieber, in an opinion just -rendered, holds that contract surgeons are subject to military law and army regulations and are consequently sub- 1 ject to court martial. The question was raised in the case of Dr. Taber, one of the contract sur- geons assigned to duty at Montauk Point. He was charged with negli- gence resulting in the death of one of his patients, Private Hugh Porett. The court martial of Dr. Taber will probably now be ordered.

"‘1‘ ' 'Washlngton, Oct. 10.—Seventeen sail- ors killed and eighty-four casualties, all told,‘Were the total loss suffered by the United States navy in the war. The figures just have been compiled at the navy department. In Dewey' S gr eat fight in Manila bay not a man was killed, and every one of the nine men wounded was able to and did return to duty. In the battle of July 3, off Santiago, one man was killed, and there were eleven casualties altogether. In that fight, also, every one of the wounded returned to duty. The loss suffered in the attack upon the forts at the entrance to Santiago by the American fleet on June 22, was one sailor killed and eleven men woun- ded, seven being able to return to duty. The heaviest loss of the navy was at Guantanamo. There were twenty-two casualties in that fight. 0f the woun- ded men' nine returned to duty, three were invalided from the service and four continue under treatment. Next after Guantanamo, the battle’ with the forts and gunboats off Cien- fuegos caused the greatest number of casualties, the list aggregating twelve. with one man killed. Another man died subsequently from wounds; nine returned to duty and one continues un- der treatment. More fatal in its results was the fierce-battle between the torpedo boat Winslow and the revenue cutter H son with the Spanish land batteries artillery forces at Cardenas. Of the eight casualties five were deaths. Three wounded men afterwards re- turned to duty. In the bombardment of San Juan the casualties numbered eight, with one man killed. One of the wounded men was invalided, while six returned to duty. There were four oth- er casualties, occurring in as many separate engagements, and that com- pletes the list of naval losses. Of the sixty-seven men wounded in the war, fifty-four returned to duty, one died of wounds, six were invalided from the service, and six died under treatment. Considering results ob- tained this list is said to be the most remarkable in the naval history of. the world. A Deserter Shot. New York, Oct. 10.—With a bullet. through his brain, Thomas Greenwald, a. private in Battery .1, Seventh artil- lery, fell dead last night while trying to escape from Fort Slocum, New 120-- chelle. Private John Coates of the same battery narrowly escaped a simi- lar fate. He was shot at, but threw himself on the ground just as the guns were fired. : Greenwald was kelled while running. and the bullet that ended his life was fired b1 order of Lieutenant Colonel William Sinclair, commander of the battery. Coates surrendered and was placed in the guard house. The civil authorities have exonerated the officer who gaveb the command and the squad of three men who fired at the fleeing man. 1 Greenwald and Coates had been un‘ der arrest for two weeks. Pending the announcement of the finding of a court‘ martial they were assigned to police: duty during the day and were locked‘ up in the guard house at night. They were together a good deal and maimed. to escape and desert from the army. 1‘ Maxim Accused of 'Blgamy. '1 New York, Oct. 10.—Hiram S. Maxim. the inventor of the famous machine gun, was arraigned in the Tombs po- lice court Saturday morning on a charge of blgamy and abandonment. 3 The charge was made by a woman] who gave the name of Helen Leighton. According to her allegations she mar-I ried Maxim in 1878, when she was lit-; tle more than 15 years old. She sub-j sequently discovered that he was al~ ready married and he deserted her af-. ter their baby was born. " Mr. Maxim’s examination was very brief, and was conducted in Magistrate Cornell’s private room. At its conclul , sion he was turned over to the custody Of a detective £10m Poughkeepsie, where the warrant for his arrest had been issued. He was subsequently arraigned in a police court in Poughkeepsie, waived examination until next Friday and was admitted to bail in $1, 500. Maxim and the woman tell widely, different stories. He says that he is: the victim of a blackmaillng scheme, Bushing Troop. to Paris. A Paris, Oct. 10.—The government has issued special orders to the garrisons of numerous towns near the capital to send immediately to Paris 500 infantry each.
