BRISTOL Brings Out His Flat Contradiction of Shore Datteries’ EfMolency= Also Hus Signal Records [ to Show, e WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.--In the Schley | naval court of inquiry today Lleutenant Mark L. Bristol compietad his testimony, begun yesterday, and three new witnesses were {ntroduced They wero Rear Admiral Heory C. Taylor, who as captain com. manded the battleship Indiana during the war with Spain; Lieutenant Commander Templin M. Potts, who was navigator of the battleship Massachusetts during that period, and Lieutenant Edward F. Lelper, who was on New Orleans during the war, the last being still on the stand when the eourt adjourned for the day Admiral lor related incidents of tha battle off Santfago on July 3. Including Hrooklyn's famous turn. Ile said that none of the Spanish ships had made any effort to ram the American vessels when they came out of the harbor at Santiago. Commander Potts' testimony denlt espe- clally with the bombardment of Colo Answering a question from Judge Advocate Lemly as to the conduct of Commodors Schley during that engagement he sald it was that of a man laboring under great wental excitement and of a man who was anxious to discharge as soon as possible a disagrecable duty. Lieutenant Lelper expressed the opinion that the Spanish shore batteries at San- tlago had not been at any time formidable. Unnecessury Exposure Forbidden. Durlng Commander Mr. Rayner secured permission from the court to introduce as evidence the order of Secretary Long to Admiral Sampson, dated April 6, in which he was admonished agalnst the exposure of the American ves- sels to the fire of strongly fortified ports. The paragraph In that order which he espe- clally wished to have considered reads as follows: The department does not wish the vessels of your squadron to be exposed 1o the firs of the batterles at Havana, Santings de Potts' examination Cubn or other strongly “aritfied parts 10 Cuba uniess the more formidable Spaniuh veeseln should take refuge within ' thoss Lnchors. Even fn this case the departman: would siggest that a rigld blockade anh erployment of our torpedo boats might ace compiien the desired object, viz, the dw struction of the enemy's vessels, witheu subjecting unnecessarily our own men-of- war to the fire of the land batterles. This dispatch also contains the follow! arder The department further desires that in case of war you will maintain a strict kade of Cuba, partioularly at the ports Havann, Matanzas and, it possible, of fuku de Cuba, Manzanillo and Clenfue- Day's Proceedings in Full, Notwithstanding today marks an import- ant turnig point In the career of Rear Ad- miral Behley, being nothing less than the Jate of his transfer from the active 1o the retired list of the navy, he was in his accustomed seat within the rafling of the court of tnquiry and gave his usual attention to the proceedings of the court. The retirement of Admiral Schley 1s in accordance with law, he hav- ing reached the age of 62 years It was enerally remarked that he did not loon his age. The formal proceedings of the day beguu with the reintroduction of Lieutenant M. L. Bristol, formerly watch oMicer on Texas, as a witness. He was under cross-exam!ni- tion when the court adjourned last night, and Mr. Rayner began today's examination of Lieutenant Bristol with questions con- cerning the accuracy of the stadimeter for measurement of distances at sea. He asked it he would rather trust his own visual observation for a 4,000-yards range than the fostrument. The witness stated that the stadimeter was more accurate for distances below 4,000 yards than above that distance. At that distance he would make several observations for confirmation of visual ob- servation. “The error,” he raid, “‘becomes greater the greater the distance.’” “Could you give me,” asked Mr. Rayner, “a point from which it is entirely relia- ble? Yes,"” wan the reply, lutely accurate.” The witneas considered the s more rellable in between ships. He had, he sald, taken several observa tions with the stadimeter just after the Spanish fleet came out of the harbor and had checked these with the sextant. He found the distance from Morro to be 5,100 yards at zero it is abso- tant much measuring the distance Opinion Confilcts With Reports, Mr. Rayner aleo interrogated Lieutenant Bristol concerning his estimate, made soon after the arrival of the fleet off Bantiago, that the Spanish shore batteries amounted to but little. He had wald yesterday that the elevation of these batteries wae from 106 to 200 feet, Mr. Rayner produced a chart show that the Morro battery was 220 fect above the water line and the Zocapa Ya. tory 820 feet high. “I will glve you an opportunity now make a full explanation as to whether yo ‘hlh'ifl the elevation of these batterles to he between 100 and 200 feet?" “I did state that.' “Did you not state to me you are as pos- that as other distances which you have given in the case?"’ “1 dia." “Do you still stand to your statement? I& the map wrong and are you right?" “1 will etand by my statement. 1 bad not seen the chart when I prepared my stat ment Mr. Rayper asked the witness whether there had been any menace to any of the American ships on July 8 from the shore batteries. Lieutenant Bristol replied that there was dunger to Gloucester becauss that vessel was unarmored.
