and resumed his story. With the
court's permission. he said. he would
go back to tienfuegoes in order that
his narrative might be clear. Regard-
lag the McCaila memorandum. he said
he received but one copy. if there had
been another. he said. it should be in
the papers which Were returned to the
Navy Department in January or Feb-

barded the earthworks at Clenfuegoe
because he was convinced that such
bombardment would be unravelling.

thought bore out this opinion
Admiral Schley was proceeding toY
say that the dcapatch No 10. concern—
ing which Lieutenant Marsh had tea-
titicd (the despatch containing inform-
ation that the Spanish fleet was in San-
tiago) was not received by him until
June 10. when the judge advocate ob‘
jt’t'li‘tl.
Captain lenily: ”if the court please.
I regret very much to be compelled to
make objection to the character of
testimony. but i understand from the
court itself that it wants facts."
Admiral Schley tsotto volcei:
these are facts.“
(‘aptain Leuily: “i do not understand
this witness is here for the purpose of
making an argument and 1 do not
think this character of testimony from
a witness even on the stand in his
own behalf in a matter of testimony."
Mr. Rayner contended that Admiral
Schley was not giving opinions:
“Well,i
inc. his knowledge. After some furth~
er sparring the members of the court
held a brief consultation without leav-
ing the court room and Admiral Denny I
announced its decision as follows:
"The court is of the opinion that it .
la eminently proper for witness to
make the statement that the despatch
was dated May 27 and not received un-
til June 7. and then drop it. Just to
give the facts.
To this Admiral Schley responded
that this was all that he had intended
to do. ’i‘hirteen days had elapsed be-
fore lie received the despatch.

A NECESSARY PRECAUTION.
(Chicago Tribune)
: People who live in furnace heater
ihoueea may have. noticed the more
ileiice of supposed colds coughs and
l throat troubles immediately after
the furnace has been started in the
fall. As a matter of fact experts de
lilare that these epidemics are largely
caused by the dust and serum which
gather in the registers and hot air
pipes during the summer and are
blown out into the. aim of the house
when the, furnace is started. As a
‘ preventive it is suggested that not only
the regiutera but also the hot air pipes
be throughly cleaned. This may be
done. bv first removing the registers
and giving them a careful ducting and
wiping. Cleaning the. pipes is more.
difficult, but quite as necessary it
may he done by attaching a bunch of
feathers to a wire and pulling it
through the pipes. in addition to the
ordinary dust which l8 certain to net-
tle in such places during the sum-
mer months, there in also danger that
it may become impregnated with posi-
‘ onous vapors from the cellar. which
may he released by the current of hot
air rising from the cellar. in View of
the large. number of houses which are
lbcated by furnaces. the question of
, properly cleaning the pipes may have.
You important influence on the public
. health The question is certainly one
which deserves the attention of every
householder who wishes to avoid the
usual fall epidemic of bad colds and
longha.
