LONG, Secretary.” Long Makes a Statement. Secretary Long made the following state- ment about the precept: “It is simply an enumeration of the facts that have been, to use the applicant's own words, ‘unde discussion;’ they are referred to informally and suggeeted to the court as matters which have been under discussion and, as such, should be Inquired Into by them. They are enumerated in accordance with the general rule that when inquiry is made the person iuterested should have notice beforehand, as far as possible, of all the @pecific things about which {nquiry fs likely to be made ' Judge Advocate General Lemloy, who was designated as judge advocate of the court today, will now proceed with the prepara- tlon of his case. He will examine all docu- ments and prepare a list of witnesses. The court will probably sit for several months, more than likely until after congress con- venes in December. Judge Lemley has not yet decided who the witnesses before the court shall be They may be taken from the navy, from the army or from efvil lite—for undoubtedly some of the newspaper correspondents will | be called in this case. It is even probable, !in view of the recently published interyiow | | of Captain Eulate of the Spanish navy, that ho and Admiral Cervera himselt will be called 1If Admiral Schicy desires it. Of course the court of inquiry has no au- thority to compel their attendance and ft |!s more than doubtful whether they will respond to a summons, but the oppor- tunity will be aftorded No word has been miral Kimberly, who, written to the department saying that his health made it inadvisable for him to at- | tempt to serve on the court. He will not be ofcinlly notified of hiw selection as a member of the court until he recelves the precept, which was matled to him today. A copy of the precept also will be sent to Admiral, Dawoy and Rear Admirals Ben- ham and Schiey.
