The reply was “The distance of Oquendo from Brooklyn, taken from the “hart just before the turn, 1s 4,600 yards, Marin Teresa, 3,700 yards Taken from the chart when Maria Teresa and Oquendo were about to run ashore, which 1s practically the nearest point, Oquendo was 2500 yards from Brooklyn and the Maria Teresa 3,000 yards.” Quoting . Licutenant Commander Hodg ron's tatement that the shortest range of Brooklyn's guns in the battle was 1,100 yards, and itx greatest 2,500 yards, and re ferring to the fact that a number of Brooklyn's five-inch ehells had struck the Spanish ships, Mr. Rayner asked a number We don’t want opinfons of questions for the purpose of showlug that {f the distance was as great as the chart shows and tha guns were set for the range given, It would have been im- possible for the shots to go to the mark “Isn't it certain,* he asked, "It the shots struck that the chart is Incorrect?” The witness replied that Maria Teresn and Oquendo could have been hit with five-inch guns. The judge advocate asked: “How far would have buen Brooklyn from the lead- ing Spanish ships just emerg!ng from the harbor of Santiago provided it had tmme- dlately started ahead at twelve knots?" In reply the witness said: “At twelve knots' apeed It would go in five minutes 2,000 yards it it was going at that speed, but it was dead In the water, as I under- stand. Therefore 1 should fay it would make about 1,000 yards the first five min- utes. That would mean that it was close to 6,000 yards from the Morro. The ships when I first sighted them were, I believe to the best of my recollection, 1,000 yards inside Morro. These ships vame out of there at about ten or twelve knots.

Lieutenant Bristol was then excused and Rear Admiral Taylor was called. He etated that when the battle off Santiago on July 3 began Indiana, of which he was | 1o command, had occupled the ecasternmost post on the line of the blockade, having taken the place of the flagship New York when it left for Siboney. In roply to a question from the judge ad- vocate as to whether he had observed the position of Brooklyn at the time of the beginning of the battle the witness sald “Just before the beginning of the battle L did and on two occasions thereafte Brooklys in Battle, “After the beginning of the battle please to where you observed Brooklyn, whether you noticed its proximity to Texas and what It was." “When the battle had been on about ten or fiftecn minutes my attention was attracted to Brooklyn by my signal ficer, Captain Dawson.

The admiral's invitation was wigwagged Captain Chadwick and was as follows: “The admiral wishes to know it you will Joln hlm this morning in golug to see Gen- eral Shatter." To this Captain Taylor relied at 8:87: “Work aboard ship previously going on prevents me from going with you today." Mr. Royner contended that the signals wero among the most important occur- rences of the day prior to the time the command of the fleet devolved upon Com- mador Schley. Captain Lemly replied that under previous rullogs of the court the reading of the wignals was clearly inad- missable. He, however, agreed that he vould consult with Mr. Reyner and that If after this consultatton the question in- cluding the reading of the signals should proper Admiral Taylor conld be Mr. Rayner consented and the court took a recess for luncheon At the afternoon session Admiral Taylor | that day Commander Potts sald the range sald that on the morning of the battle of given previous to entering the engagement July 3 Indiana had signaled: Is escaping." The court asked only one question of Admiral Taylor, as follows: *“Was Indlana in such position with reference to Brooklyn and the enemy’s ‘ships just after they cleared the entrance of the harbor that you could form a fairly correct estimate of the distance?’ ‘At the time mentloned there were only two occasions when, the smoke. parmittel me to see Brooklyn distinctly.

Admiral Taylor was then excused and Lieutenant Commander Templin N. called.

Commodore Schley, Commander Schroeder, 1 think Commodore Schley's personal staff, and myself were standing as the ship war standing, in toward the entrance. Commodore Schley sald, in my hearing and presence: ‘Gen. tlemen, we are ver§ conapicuous objects here in white.

Mr. Rayner then hegan his cross-exam- fnation. “Who was the captain of your ship?" he asked. “Francis J.

At the suggestion of Judge Advocate Lemly, and in accordance with the decision of the court, Mr. Rayner here formally introduced as evidence the order from the Navy department concerning the exposure | of the American ships to the fire of the shore battery. The order is that fssued | rected to Admiral Sampson.

Only one shot which had been fired at the American fleet bad fmpressed him as being at all danger- ous. That fell near Mussachusetts. Soon after that the commodore had given the order, “Put your helm to starboard and let | us get out of this.” He said he had seen | no shore batteries at Cienfuegos. Commander Potts was then excused and Lieutenant Leiper called. He served on | New Orleans during the Spanish war and [ told of the participation of that vessel in the bombardment of Colon May 31. He | described that engagement, saying that the first shot to Massachusetts had fallen out- side of Morro and, notwithstanding the range was increased, all the shots fell short There were, he said, no orders of the batteries. Weak Fire, But notwithstanding this, he did fire at the eastern batteries on his own responsi- | bility. He bad personally aimed the gun, | the distance was so great that only | the red line of earth could be seen; neither | guns nor men were discernible. One shot | from the enemy fell thirty or forty yards from New Orleans. The projectile was so | small he had been surprised that it reached | such a range. Al told, the firing of his ! | vessel upon Colon had not consumed more than six minutes. He thought all the shots | from the American ships had fallen short of | Colon. The witness said he had seen no | evidence of the presence of large or powers | ful guns in the shore batteries and wai six inches In caliber. The witness said that he had secured his most accurate | idea of the strength of the shore batteries by the fact that on June 14 New Orleans | had approached to within 1,650 yards of them, remaining for twenty minutes and | \lencing them after four or five minutes. | | Lieutenant Leiper was still cn the stand when the court adjourned for the day. ed in B, & 0.

DOUBTERS Can be Changed by Knowledge, 1t there is any doubt about making brain power by the use of certain food, the doubter should make the following experi- ment. Helen Frances Huntington of Gaines- ville, Ga., says: “Just a word of commen- dation concerning Grape-Nuts which I have found to be the most wholesome, nourish- ing and appetizing food that has ever come to my knowledge. I am not a dyspeptic, but beiug con- stantly engaged in severe brain work I found that 1 did not thrive on ordinary diet; even a moderate dinner dulled mvy brain so as to be practically incapable of critical work. T tried meat-julce, pepto- | notds, the two meal system of Iight break- fast and no supper which brought on nery- ous depletion and sleeplessness, so I re- sorted to one and another of the various health-foods which all seemed alike taste- less end valueless as a brain food, until quite by chance, I had a dish of Grape- Nuts food served as a dessert. I liked it so well that I began to use it daily, for supper four teaspoonstul in a saucer of hot wilk, eaten before it dissolves to mushi- ness This point should be remembered as, after certain time, evaporation seems to affect the sweet nutty flavor of the food as in the case of certaln fine-flavored fruits The result in my case was simply as- tontshing. 1 had no desire whatever for sweel pastrys, meats, or In fact anything else; and my brain was as clear and active at night as on awaking from a long, re- treshing sleep. The peculiar advantage about Grape-Nuts fopd 1s that it supplies the butritive qualities of a varied diet without the bad results of heavy eating. I cheerfully ree- ommend its use to all brain workers, If not as an exclusive diet, cerieinly for the last meal of the day.
