Golden claims to own ”the property

ued to keep his horses and wagons in

in the house. Last week he concluded
to return to the house to live, but when
he was preparing the rooms to occupy
them he was informed that Mr. Golden
bud a deed from Mrs. Hayes. and was
notified that he must not. go upon the
premises. Mr. Hayes claimed the right
to use and orcupy the premises during
his life time. notwithstanding any con~
vcynnce Mrs. Hayes might make of her
interest in the property. and gave Mr.
Golden notice that he must not inter-
fere with Mr. Huycs's occupancy of the
premises. and that he would hold Mr.
Golden for damages for interfering
with his rights.
Attorney Tammany, for Mr. Golden.
applied to Judge Joseph R. Taylor for
an injunction restraining Mr. Hayes
from going upon the premises. and the
injunction was served upon Mr. Hayes
by Depuy Sheriff John W. Scullei'. Yes-

Vosburgh immediately served a notice
on Mr. Golden and Attorney Tammany
that. he would move to dissolve the in-
junction this morning. at 10 o'clock.
It was agreed last night. between
Messrs Vosburgb and Tammany. that
Mr. Hayes could go upon the premises

in his business this morning. At 10

Tammany moved for an adjournment
of the hearing until the return of Judge
John H. night. who was the counsel for
Mr. Golden, and was in Buffalo. This
action was opposed by Mr. Vosburgh,
and by General Russell Frost. who was
acting as counsel in the case. After
considerable discussion the judge stat-
ed that he would grant a postponement.
provided the parties would make a
stipulation as to the conditions to be
maintained during the continuance.
it was finally agreed between Messrs.
Tammany and Vosburgh - that Mr.
Hayes should have the right. to keep
his horses and wagons in the barn and
to so into the house for the purpose of
using his clothing and personal effects,
and nothing should be'douo on the
of Mr. Golden. towards putting in a

Many Details Connected with the
Battle of Santiago—~0thor Wit-

WASHINGTON, October lb—Thc
presentation of the Schlcy's side of the
case was continued in the Schley court
of inquiry today. When yesterday's
witnesses had been recalled and had
made the verbal corrections necessary
in their testimony they Were promptly
dismissed. apd at the instance of Mr.
Rayner. the judge advocate summoned
Lieutenant Commander James H.
Sears. who as lieutenant, was Admiral
Schley‘s flag officer on board the
Brooklyn during the war with Spain.
He testified to many details connect-
ed with the campaign and was prompt-
ly succeeded by a mumber of other na-
val officers who servcd on the Brook-
lyn. .
The list for the day included Lieu-
tenant Commander N. E. Mason. exe-
cutive officer of the Brooklyn; Lieu-
tenant Commander T. D. Griffin. who
had. charge of the powder division of
Admiral Schiey's flagship. and Lion-
tenant Edward Simpson. who had
charge of the Seinch turret of the
Brooklyn, and opened fire on the Span.
iards when they came out of the Har-
bor of Santiago; Charles Webster. and
Edward McCauliy, the former being a
watch officer and the latter being a
signal officer on the Brooklyn. it was
the understanding that if the list could
not be completed today that the offi-
cers named should come on tomor.
row.
Admiral Schiey thinks it quite prob-
able that the presentation of the tes-
timony in his behalf can be completed
this week and next. He will be the
last of the witnesses heard, and when
he goes on will make a review of the
entire campaign, covering the points
of the controversy.
, Eduardo Nunez. the Cuban pilot. was
among those who were called to cor‘
rect former testimony. He added to his
statement of yesterday that he had see
firing 'o'n‘MliY‘il‘l. the d
of the bombardment -of the Colon.
whereas the records Show that that ves-
sel was at that time cooling. and did
not participate in the engagement. He
also made a correction in his former
statement concerning his conversation
with Commodore Schley on first meet-
ing him. His corrected statement of
that Incident was presented by his in‘~
tcrprctcr in written form. and read as
follows: “During the conversation I
bud with (‘ommodore Schley. i said.
not that the water was not drop enough.
but that it was the information i have
bad in Kingston. Jamaica. in regard to
the dimensions of the Spanish ships.
Th y were of such a large size. that they
cou d not get in the harbor, in consid-
eration of the narrowness of the chan-
nel. and that in a turn they had to
make to avoid the ‘Diamond shoal' in
front of the entrance. and i still be-
lieve that vessels of such size cannot
enter Santiago. not being under the
most favorable conditions of weather.
1 also was asked by Admiral Schley if
I thought his flagship could enter the
harbor and I answered that I did not
consider it advisable for the conditions
before mentioned. and because there
was no buoys to mark the channel. the
Spaniards had picked them up to pre—
vent the American ficet from coming
into the port. and besides that. they had
too many torpedo lines across the en‘
trance."
Lieut'bnant Commander Sears follow-
ed Nunez. Mr. Rayner questioned him,
saying.“ the beginning of the examin-
ation that he would ask him concern-
ing the points of the precept and re
questing that replies should be as con-
cise as possible. Mr. Soars said that
when the Flying Squadron arrived off
Clenfuegos he knew nothing of a code
of signals for communication with the
Cuban insurgents. Questioned con-
cerning the McCslia memoranda. he
said that it had been brought to Com-
modore Schley. by the Hawk. and by
no other vessel to his knowledge.
Commander Bears gave a detailed ac-
count of the first encounter with the
British steamer Adula. the examina-
tion on this point being as follows:
"Now, coming to Cisnfuegoa. give us
the principal incidents that took place
while the nest lay offCienfusgos. and
especially an incident with which you
part are familiar. the comingvln of the
