Asked whether he agreed with Captain Folger in stating that the reconnoissance of May 31, When the Colon was bombarded, was a success in developing the strength and number of the shore batteries, the. witness replied that-he thought it had been a success to that extent, but that he could not agree with Captain Fol- ger in all that he had said. He found that the fire of the batteries was siow. He also found that the greatest caliber probably was a 6- inch gun on the Zocapa battery; that there appeared to b two or three guns there, that on the battery east to me that nch in cal- ange attained it appeared iber."” “Batteries- Were Weak.” ‘The judge ad asked: The witness replied “As compared with the strength of the ships quadron, or as compared with th of the guns of any ship In the squ: e Brooklyn, New teries were Lieutenant Ce who, as lieu battieship 1o in the Nav ness.

My firet objection was that the chart inaccurate; that the posi- tion of the Iow platted on his chart, pecd. In order to keep the Towa in relative position to the other ships for certain distances, she approximately ap- izhteen knots, when she ten. Another objection I had was the itial position of the Brooklyn when ‘the Spaniards first left the harbor. 1 contended that the Brooklyn's position was too close to the mouth of the harbor; that she was not in her regular p ion. She was south the positions of sides in the bat was making nine or of it. I based that opinion upon the fact that wher 1 first d ered niards coming out of the harbor 1 looked over toward the on our left and the Brooklyn was arly abeam of the lowa. The Iowa Schuetze was asked in regard to s of the Brooklyn in the battle He replied: Action of the Brooklyn. “I saw the Brooklyn at the beginning of the action about port m of the lowa. I saw her some minutes afterward, when she ap- peared to be headed a little to the eastward of north. It is difficult to tell, because she was very nearly broadside-on. Soon afterward 1 saw_her headed to the eastward about duc I should say. That is the last I saw of her. Captain Lemly- I want you to state whether you saw the Texas about this time. How was she located, relative to the Brooklyn? Did you tice anything particularly as fo the speed or maneuvering of the Texas? ““When I first the Texas she was headed to the eastward of north. Soon afterward I noticed her again and she was headed to the westward and apparently lying dead in the water. 1 called Captain Evans' attention to the fact that she was in our way; that she was lving dead in the water, and cautioned the captain that we would probably run into her it we kept on the way we were heading. She was then on our port bow. We were trying to et close into the harbor and steamed at first directly for the mouth of the harbor.

A and the attention we were paying to our own ship in that fight.” Commander Schuetze was then excused and Licutenant Commander Albert W. Grant, Who was senior watch officer on the Massachusetts during the war with Spain, was called. Asked by Captain Lemly concerning the blockade of Clenfuegos, Commander Grant said there were no directions giving an order of battle, but there was upon arrival a signal om ‘the flagship that Clenfuegos was to be blockaded. He had on the occasion of the maneuver off Cienfuegos seen the Spanish earthworks there and the masts of one vessel lying in the harbor, but nothing to his knowl- edge had been done to destroy those works. Commander Grant sald that he remembered a signal from the Brooklyn before starting for Cienfucgos saying the fleet was bound for Santlago and would rendezvous at Gonaives Bay. The progress on that cruise was, he said, slow, because the smaller vessels were affected by the weather. He said that on the first night out from Clenfuegos a suspiclous vessel which had erronecusly been supposed to be- long to the enemy, had been sighted. The Brooklyn, which had been steaming just in front of the Massachusetts, changed its conrse and turned to port. The witness said that as soon as he observed this manedver he turned the Massachusetts so as to protect the ship following. “Then,” he said, “‘as I knew I was going to clear the Brooklyn 1 went ahead with port engine full speed and shifted the heim and e the whistle signal.” 2 ‘Were the ships in formation of column? Captain Lemly asked. The witness replied: ‘‘They were not. There was a mix-up.”’ J The Retrograde Moy€ment. Commander Grant then told about the retro- grade movement of the tlying squadron toward Key West, as well as the blockade of Santiago. He also described the bombardment of the Colon on May 31 and said that on that oc- casion he had no conversation with Admiral Schle; ‘*Ha you stated all or did you understand that 1 want all that the commodore may have said within your hearing in relation to this battle on that day “I wag only in Commodore Schley’s presence once and that was when he went over the side after the firing was over. I heard these words, that the reconnolssance had developed the bat- teries and he was satisfied, or words to that effect.”” Mr. Raynor questioned the witness concern- ing the signals of May. 28, with the end in view of showing that Commodore Schley’s signal at 4:30 p. m., saying that ‘‘the general meeting place will 'be twenty-five miles south of San- tiago, modified by the preceding signal of 11:30 a. m., saying, “In case of separation the fleet will rendezvous at place designated by signal.” The witness declined to admit that this was true, calling attention to the fact that the 11:30 signal also specified the latitude and longi- tude of Gonaives Bay, showing, as he heid, that that signal referred to a former signal and th 30 signal for a rendezvous twen- v-five miles south of Santiago was independent ot modified. or questioned the witness concern ing the encounter with a suspicious vess: while en route to Santiago. ou say there was a melee or mix-up on the night of th h. That was the time you Were on your way from Cienfuegos to San- tiago. Is there anything in your log book about that?"” “I do not think so, but next morging I made a written statement to Captain gginson. I am very sorry I have not a copy of the letter 1 wrote at that time.’” The court asked the following questions: ‘“Were any efforts made by the flying squad- ron to discover whether or not Cervera's squad- ron was in the rbor of Clenfuegos?’ ome to my knowledge.’” ‘Were any orders given from the flagship y ignal or otherwise for the guidance of the ships composing the flying squadron in the event of meeting Cervera's squadron in the passage from Cienfuegos to Santiago?"” e to my knowledge.' # Commander Grant w then excused and Lieutenant J. H. Holden, who was watch officer on the Scorpion during the Spanish war, was called. Captain Lemly only asked Lieutenant Holden concerning the Scorpion’s mission as a dispatch boat from Commodore Schley to the Harvard off Santiago on May 22 He then stated that Lieutenant Holden was the writer of the log of the Scorpion in which an entry was made Concerning the messaze conveyed to Commodore Schley through the FEagle and the Scorpion from Captain McCalla. when the flying squad- ron was en route to Clenfuegos. Message to the Scorpion. Mr. Raynor then addressed the court, quoting the message which Lieutenant Commander Southerland, in command of the Eagle, testi- fied he had megaphoned to the Scorpion on May 19 in order to intercept the Eagle. This mes- sage, as the commander gave it, read ‘“We left Cienfuegos on the night of the 16th, at_which time, as we learned from an insur- gent camp about thirteen miles to the westward of Cienfuegos, some of the people from which were inside the town every night, that the only Vi in that harbor were a torpedo boat and anoneros.’” Mr. Raynor then inquired of Captain Lemly whether Commander Marix, who commanded the Scorpion, was not now in Manila. Without lieutenant lmr;edial?ly replying to this Captain Lemly said: “I believe that Lieutenant Commander South- erland is right in his statement as to the mes- sage he communicated to the Scorpion, but it is like any other case of communicating through persons—there is a disagreement between the log of the Scorpion, which I have before me, and Mr. Southerland’s statement, and we are not able to carry that message, which was de- livered to the Scorpion, to Commodore Schley on board the Erooklyn in our evidence. Marix is at Cavite, I have every reason to believe there would be a disagreement between Marix and Southerland if Marix were summoned from this great distance, and we are prepared to ad- mit that if he were summoned he would not say that communication had been made to the Brooklyn as to the presence of the insurgents with whom communication had been had near Cienfuegos.” Reading from the log, Captain Lemly quoted the entry from § a. m. to meridian for May 19, showing that the Brooklyn had instructed the Scorpion to ‘‘speak the Eagle and obtaln news and the names of the vessels off Clen- fuegos.” The entry then proceeds to tell of the carry- ing out of the order and reports the following as being the message signaled to the Brooklyn by the Scorpion as the result of the interview with the Eagle: “Eagle sent by McCalla from Clenfuegos to report. Nashvilie following about_twenty-five miles in rear to westward. Starboard = high pressure cylinder disabled. Proceed slowl Cincinnati and Vesuvius off Cape San Antonio, about fifteen miles to northward. Flying squad. ron has left Cienfuegos for Key West. No news of the Spanish.”” Mr. Raynor—Are you able to state what Lieutenant Commander Marix would testify to before the court if he were here? Captain Lemlv—I have it in the shape of a cablegram and letter, neither of which {s properly evidence before the court, because it is_not sworn to. Mr. Raynor—I will agree to accept that let- ter and cablegram. I do not know what Is in either, of " them aptain Lem 1 am perfectly willin, court should have them. _. . i The cablegrnm and letter were then read, as was Assistant Secretary Hackett's cable. gram requesting the information. The Secre- tary’s cablegram was as follows: “WASHINGTON, Aug. 1i, 1%0L-—Remey, Mania: See Marix and obtain'a correct state. ment of Information communicated through Eagle. May 19. Did he communicate informa- tion Schley? Give date of. All messages to be in cipher. HACKETT."” Statement From Marix. ‘The cable received in reply was as follows: (Translation:) ““CAVITE, P.

The message was communicated to Brooklyn and Scorplon by hail.’ REMEY. The letter which followed, and which con- firmed the cablegram, read: “Office of the commander-in-chief, United States naval force on Asiatic station, August 13, 1801 Remey, Manila: Commander Adolph Marix, U. S. N., deposes as follow: “ “The ‘message communicated by the com- manding officer of the Eagle, May 19, was from McCalla to Schley to the effect that McCalla had left Cienfuegos with his ships and did not believe that Cervera’s fleet had arrived there when Marblehead left, This message was_communicated to Scorpion and Brooklyn by_hailing. ** ‘I do hereby swear the foregoing to be a true statement.

Captain Lemly—I ask if you are quite posi- tive nothing else was communicated to the vessel at this time which you may have omitted from this entry in the log book? , “1 did not conduct the megaphone message. ‘Did you hear it?’ 1 did not hear all of it; only parts of i You mean you did not hear all of it as re- cefved on board the Scorplon?* 1 414 not.’” “Did you hear all that was communicated to the Brooklyn?" ‘T ad” ED THE NEWS No Information Given That the Spanish Fleet Was Not at Harbor of Cienfuegos General Campaign of the Fly- ing Squadron the Theme for Interesting Examinaticn ol “Does that entry in the log embody all that was communicated to the Brooklyn?'” = ‘“To the best of my knowledge and belief it loes."" “Who did receive the message?" “The commanding officer, Lieutenant Com- mander Marix." ““Was there any difficulty in receiving it, so far as you know, on account of the distance?’ “‘There was considerable difficulty in receiv- ing it on account of the distance between the ships and the wind, which was blowing from us toward the Eagle. The commanding officer had the megaphone, and in receiving the mes- sage held it up to his ear and was thus able to hear more than other people from the bridge at that time.” Mr. Raynor—How far was the Fagle from the Scorpion when she megaphoned? “The distance varied.

Mr. Raynor—Was the Eagle 8o close to the Scurp‘lon"tlm she had to back off for fear of a sion T don't recollect that she was so close that there was imminent danger of a collision. Lieutenant Commander Southerland stated in response to the question: ‘Do you recollect about how far your vessel was when you mega- phoned? ‘So near I had to back off for fear of a collision, which_made a little confusion for the time being.’ You don't think you were 8o e in danger of collision?"* Ceptain Lemly—Do you remember the vessel backinz? i I don’t recollect the Scorpion’s backing.' “Do you recollect whether you saw the Eagle backing 7 ‘I don’t recollect seeing her back, but she probably backed, as we had to slow down and stop more suddenly than we ordinarily would continuing under way."” The court then adjourned until to-morrow. RESENTED BY SAMPSON. His Counsel Call Attention to Charges‘ Against the Admiral. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—William H. Stay- | ton, the New York attorney who some time ago asked to be allowed to represent Rear Ad- miral Sampson before the Schley court of in- quiry, and whose request was denied by the court, to-day presented the following letter to the court NAVY 10, 1901.—To Admiral George Dewey, U. 5. N President Naval Court of Inquiry, Washington, D. C—Sir: I am Instructed by Rear Admiral Sampson to acknowledge for him the receipt of your letter of the 27th of September, 1901, sta- ting the court does not at this time regard him as a party to the case now before it, and is, therefore, unable to comply with his requesi that he 'be permitted to representation by gounsel, 2 2. Iam further Instructed by the admiral to ‘ask that whenever the circumstances arise, which entitle him to representation, you will permit our admission as counsel in his behalf. 3. Mr. E. S. Theall of Washington, D. who is my associate in this matter, and my- self have been present in the courtroom of the procedure, and one or both of us will endeavor to be present every day hereafter. 4. We have not had facilities which would permit us to hear the proceedings, but we have been furnished with coples of the court’s record, and beg leave to refer respectfully to certain pages of that record, which contaln attacks upon Admiral Sampson. 6. Rear Admiral Schley, for instance, was permitted to say (see page 7) that ‘“‘the prin- cipal parties to the present issue are Rear Ad- mirals Sampson and Schley.”” 6. Direct allegations have been made against Admiral Sampson and we ask the court to re- fer to pages 152 to 156 of the record, where coun- sel repeatedly accuse Admiral Sampson—first, of conducting a blockade with his vessels at a distance as great as that which was selected by Admiral Schley for his blockade; and, sec- ond, of permitting the Colon to remain for an indefinite time after his arrival in full sight YARD, WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. | of his squadron without making an effort to | destroy her. 7. On page 23 of the record counsel was al- lowed to declare that despite Admiral Samp- son’s official report, in which he states that the battle on July 3 was fought under his com- | mand, and that as a matter of fact Admiral Sampson dld not command on that day, and effort was made by counsel in vesterday's pro- | ceedings to introduce into evidence a signal | made by Admiral stated in his argumept was intended to shew that Rear Admiral Schley was commander in chief of that battle. involve the honor of a naval officer, 8. The court's precept states that an officer who is interested may be permitted to appear ! and defend himself, and while we fully realize that Admiral Sampson is not a party to the case, as_the court states in its letter of the 27th of September, yet notice has been given that an effort will be made to deprive him of | his honors and even of his honor and his good name, and he is accused of enemy’s veesel to lie undisturbe ence, and all that as a naval officer he holds dear is involved, and we ask you to decide | merely that he {s “‘interested.” 9. It is true that the attacks upon Admiral Sampson have been made covertly and under the name of argument, but the statements have been, nevertheless, public; they have been given great currency and they are embodid in the record to remain forever on the files of the Navy Department. It is at least worthy of comment that on every occasion in which such an argument has been indulged in, the question at issue has been voluntarily with. drawn, after full opportunity had been taken to accuse the admiral. 10. Were we alone in our opinion that these arguments are improper, we should hesitate to make such statements, but the judicial of- ficer of the court—the judge advocate—has re- peatedly characterized these arguments as im- proper. 11. We of course realize fully that the in- tervention of new issues and new parties might be improperly used to cumber the record and prolong the trial; but counsel are entirely un- der the control of the court and may always be suitably restricted. We therefore request that we now be permitted to appear before the court and given facilities which will en- able us to hear the procedure and be present to defend Rear Admiral Sampson when coum- sel shall make upon him attacks of the nature which they have already deemed proper to make. Very respectfully, WILLIAM H. STAYTON. The court replied as follows: The court has received and considered your letter of this date in Which you again request that you be permitted to appear before —the court as counsel for Rear Admiral Sampson and given facilitles which will enable you to hear the procedure and to defend that officer from attack when necessary. In reply I have to state that while the pre- cept convening this court gives it authority to permit any person whom it may regard as con- cerned in the investigation to be present for the purpose of cross-examining witnesses and offer ing evidence the court considers that Rear Ad. miral Sampson is not an Interested party in the case now before it and 1s not, therefore, en- titled to appear as such, elther in person or by counsel, and you are further Informed that it circumstances arise which, in the opinion of the court, render it necessary for Admiral Sampson 'to_be. represented, due notice will he sent him.

ARt Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—Tim Murphy, the Western turf plunger, was officlally de- nominated a welcher to-day by the Metro- politan Bookmakers' Assocfation. Mur- phy's liabilities to the betting ring, all contracted during the past tonmiht, ex- ceed $25,000. Every bookmaker in the ring suffered by the plunger's delinquency, as his credit was unquestioned. During the late Gravesend meeting Murphy gambled recklessly and lost in cash wagers in a single week a sum esti- mated at $50,000 before_he began to bet the markers he owes. His disappearance October 1 occasioned no suspicion. He took French leave that day, and the first intimation of his flight came through tel- egrams to his creditors, dated at Chicago, assuring them he would return and meet his obligations within fm‘ty-eiiht hours. Nothing has been heard from him since, and the bookmakers’ association has list- ed him with Riley Grannan, Stedeker, Charley Dwyer and otner plungers who have welched tor thousands within the ears. lafiu&%fiyywas one of the heaviest bettors in California last winter. He was sup- posed to have gathered a competence dur- ing the years h=2 has been battling against betting rings ali over. the country. He could have easily defaulted for five times the sum he owes, and from this fact his creditors drew the logical comfort that he will ultimately settle. heaviest losers by Murphy's de- cf;},‘;?mem are Georgs Rose , Frank focicert $1200, Bill Jackman $1000, Leo Mayer $1500, George Wheelock , Eddie Burke $2500 and Sol Lichtensteifi $2000. ‘Murphy belongs to a prominent family of turfmen from St. Louis, and, with his hers, has been a prominent figure in ?}:g‘betflng rings for the past decade. @ ieriminiiinieinivivivininivininleieindi-k @ ney.
