The witness replied in the negative. In reply to a question, Commander Sears said be had been with Commodore Schley in five en- £agements all told. He was then asked as to ;‘I:!Q bearing of that officer under fire and re- His bearing to me was a model for any- | body, worthy of emulation at all times.

He had, he said, been averse to the westward movement, but fnor suggested that such a course of in- quiry would open the doors to a wide range of questioning. He did not belleve that the criticism of & junior officer, if made, should affect the commodore. The witness continued by saying that he had probably had ss many as half a dozen conversations with the commodore@con- cerning the return, but he could not give the talks. He had, at Com- Schley's instance, made the signal for the move westward. Range Given for Firing. Asked sbout the range given for the firing of the American guns on May 31, Sears said he had given %0 yards under direction of Commodore Schiey. Asked if he had had any convel tion with Commodore Schley concern- ing that range, he replied i he negative. ““Did you not ate otherwise in the ward- | room of the Massachusetts?’ Lemly asked. ““That question is inadmissible,” said Ad- miral Dewey, before the witness.could reply, “unless Commodore Schley was present.” Captain Lemly and Hanna contended for the | admissibility of the question, and Raynor con- ceded that it was proper on cross-examination | for the purpose of impeaching the witness. The court then allowed it to g0 in and Captain Lemly asked it more specifically than before: “I want to know if you did not state other- wise with regard to the range, in the ward- room of the Massachusetts on the day of the action, on May 31, than you have stated here; thet is, you have stated here you have said nothing about it.” “I have no recollection else,” replied the witness. | “*Are you positive?” | am positive.”” | ow, refresh your memory.

The court then took re- | cess for luncheon. | | Recall of Captain Cook. The afternoon session began Wwith the recall of Captain Cook for the purpose of correcting | the testimony given by him yesterday. Judge | Advocate Lemly asked him the following ques- tion: | | with Commodore Schiey about the retrograde movement either before or after the signals | were made and the order given on May 26 to | return to Key West?” “*As nearly as I recollect the circumstances, sere was a conversation after the message pad been brought to me, and that the signal hsd been made ‘bound for Key West by Yuca- tan Channel.’ I did not understand the signal and went in to see the commodore about it. {1 asked him what the signal meant and he said that he must coal the ships, that he must seck some place to coal them and that he was going toward Key West until he could find an_opportunity to coal from the colller, 2nd if he did not find that he must be near a coal base to keep the ships coeled. I made fome remark concerning the weather condi- tions, that I thought that they 1a be more favorable later. He replied: ‘Until they are and 1 am able to coal from the coilier, I must keep within striking distance of coal’ I said that T recognized that he felt the responsibility as 1o one else could and that it was a serious question. He answered that he recognized the fact, but that he must act in accordance with bis judgment, whether right or wrong; that personal consideration was of no account when the safety of the fleet was to be considered. That is about all I recollect.” The court then asked the witness the follow- uctions did you receive from Commodore Schley regarding the movement of the Brooklyn after it was discovered that Cer- vera's squadron_was coming out of the har- bor_of Santiago?’ “I do not recollect any specific instructions. We were standing for the enemy.’ ““Please repeat any conversation that took place between Commodore Schley and yourself from the time the Spanish squadron came out until the Brooklyn was steadied on her westerly course in chase.” “He severil times spoke of the position of the enemy. At one time he spoke of the turning of one of the ships from the lne. I saw it, the Viscaya, 1 think, turn out and then turn in again. He spoke of that. He said to me at one time to look out for the torpedoes or torpedo boats. 1 know at that time the | executive officer had come from below and I turned to him and said: ‘Look out for tor- pedo boats' or ‘torpedo attack.” Then there was the conversation as to putting the helm aport, which I have already stated. He spoke frequently to me during the action about cau- tioning the men at the batteries to fire steadily and slowly, not to.lose thelr shots, He called a number of times, loud enough to be heard in the turret, and to be heard on the lower deck by the men manning the auxillary batteries, to fire steady, especiall]y at a time when the ships were doubled on each other, as for the instance the Colon from third to first place, in- | side of the other ships. He spoke to me a | number of times asking me if I could not edge L B B B WOMAN IS SUSPECTED | OF ACTING FOR BANDITS Detectives in Tennessee Think They Have Found an Accomplice of Robbers. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 15.—Annie Rogers, alias Maude Williams, aged 26 years, is in the custody of the police here, | ana General Superintendent Taylor of a | @etective agency at Chicago, who is in Nashville, believes her arrest will lead to the apprehension of the gang which on | July 3 last held up a Great Northern ex- press train near Wagner, Mont,, securing over $40,000 in bank notes. He hopes also to recover much of the stolen money. A large portion of the bank bills were un- signed by officials of the bank at Helena, 1o which they were consigned. The woman came under suspicion by her actions at the Fourth National Bank Monday afternoon, when she presented a jarge roll of new bills of small denomina- tion, asking for large bills in return. | Noting the bills closely, the teller became | suspicious, and while she was engaged in | conversation the police were notified. | When arrested the woman refused to | make any explanation of where the $560 1in her possession came from. The bills were on the Helena bank, and though signed, the serial numbers coincide with those given in a circular advertisement of the robbery. A warrant was sworn out against the woman, charging her with at- | tempting to pass forged bank notes. She declined to tell of herself further than | to assert that she was born in Texas and | that she arrived here Sunday night, from | where she will not say. | 5 | Lawyers Object to Van Wyck. | NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—The Bar Associa- | tion of New York met to-night and adopted the report of its committee or- dered to pass upon the qualifications of the candidates for the judiciary to be | elected this fall in this city.

I remember that distinctly be- cause 1 was anxious to keep a straight and steady course, believing we guined by that, and we had them at ail times under an easy range ‘We had the range completely and our shots were landing. Theirs were not.” “Please state what was the conduct and bearing of Commodore Schiey during the battle of July 3. The answer to this question previ- cusly given by you does not refer specliically conduct in battle to_this date.’” *4 cannot imagine any more admirable. He was cool, brave and en- thusiastic irom the beginning to the end of the action. Mr, Haynor—Was Commodore Schley's posi- tion on the Brooklyn on the day of the battle one_ot danger? “Yes, as much as any one on board. He was in the ‘open all the time.’ By the court—How tar was the Colon from the Brooklyn when the turn to starboard was completed ? *“wo thousand yards or twenty-five hundred yards,” Sears Again Heard. When the court concluded its questions Cap- tain Cook witharew and Lieutenact Commander Sears the Santiago campalgn, being under Cruss ex- amination. The examination was conducted by Manna, who asked especially concerning the meeting of the fiying squadron with Captain McCalla when the squadron was on its way to Cienruegos, but the witness could .not re- call any conversation with Commodore Schley relative to that occurrence. Speaking of the Adula the witness said the bapers of that Ves- sel were all right; he had looked into that matter himself. Speaking of the arrival of the Hawk at Clen- fuegos with dispatches on May 23, witness re- ferred again to the McCalia memorandum, which stated that there was a good landing place thirteen miles from Clentuegos, but he sald In reply to questions that no effort had been made prior to the arrival of Captain Me- Calla, on the 2ith, to find this landing place. Continuing, the witness said that instruc- tions were given immediately after Captain McCalla's report that the Spaniards were not at Cienfuegos to proceed to Santiago. He had not heard that the commodore had other in- tentions than to leave forthwith and he knew nothing of an alleged letter written on that date by Commodore Schley, saying he would not sleave until the %th, the next day. The witness, with reference to the alleged difficulty of coaling the Texas at sea, said that he had had the authority of Captaln Philip for that statement. Speaking of the speed of the Brooklyn in the chase of the Colon the witness said it had been increased gradually. The record made of Brooklvn had covered forty-five miles on that occasion. Hanna asked why the Yucatan Channel, rather than the Windward Passage, had been selected in making the retrograde movement. The witness replied that his opinion was that the selection had been'made because of the general might have gotten out of the harbor at San- tiago and gone westward. In that event it was felt that the Yucatan Channel route would be the better. The impression that Cervera had left Santiago, he said, had been created by information received from the Adula, but e could not now recall just what that in- ormation was. The witness aid that the fleet drawn from Santiago to a distance out at sea at night. As a rule the ships were farther in- side at night than during the day. The ships never had gone farther off than six miles. On one occasion the colllers had been sent twenty-five miles away, The court asked a number of questions of the witness, which, with the answers, wers as_follows: ““Were you present when Captain Cotton de- livered dispatches to Commodore Schley off Clenfuezos?” “I met the captain at the gangway, but whether he gave the dispatches to the com- ore then I cannot say.’ If you heard those dispatches read, or read them yourself, pleass state their purport.” “The dispatch he brought I think contained the most positive information we had had that the enemy were in Santiago. I remember that dispatch as being the first information of any positiveness that we had had since leaving Clenfuegos. 1 could identify the dispatch If I saw it.”" The Signal of Orders. “Did you hear any conversation that may have taken place between Commodore Schley and Captain Cotton? It so, please give it. I did not.” “Was any boat sent from the squadron to examine the shore at Clenfuegos with the view to ascertaining the practicabiiity of landing?" “Not to my knowledg: “What orders, if any, were signaled to the squadron by the Brookiyn from the time the Spanish squadron appeared coming out until the Colon ran ashore? ““The prescribed signal was that the Span- ish fleet was escaping. The next signal was ‘Ciear ship for action’; the next signal was ‘Close in.' There was a signal when the Vis- caya was hopelessly out of it for the Oregon o cease firing. The next signal was to the Oregon to open fire with 13-inch guns. There were signals then made between the Oregon and Brooklyn. When the Oregon would fire we would notify her of the fall of her shells. When we fired the Oregon mnotified us. Then, | was_observed, signal was made, I think, to the Texas, to be repeated, notifying the commo- dore in chief that we had won a great vie- tory.” “Were these signals answered and these or- ders obeyed by the ships of the squadron?”’ “The orders were obeyed. 1 do not know whether the signals were answered or not. 1 could not see. Letter signals, those that had nothing to do with the squadrod at the end of the battle, were all answered.” “Was any examination of the coast, east and west of Clenfuegos, made with a view to find- ing a place where the Texas might be pro- tected from the sea while coaling?” “Did you observe smoke in the harbor of Clenfuegos? If so, describe it.” “I do not recollect any smoke at Clenfue- gos. “What orders were issued by Commodore Schley regarding the blockade of Clenfuegos?” I know of no_orders." “What signals were made to the flylng squad- ron by Commodore Schley on May 31 regarding the movement of the ships?” “The range at which we were to fire was sigraled, as was the speed. I do not recollect ther ‘cease firing’ was made or not.’ Did the Teresa turn to the westward before the Brooklyn commenced her turn to star- board 2"’ ““The Brooklyn was forging ahead, gaining speed, and as I stated in my recollection of that event, the helm was eased. The Teresa before she turned to westward appeared to move herself to keep her ram toward us. It is my impression that Captain Cook kept our vessel that way. The helm was only slightly aport or eased up, and sometimes a little star- board. That was my observation. I did not hear any orders. They were given out of my hearing.” “Did you observe the turn of the Brooklyn SECRETARY ROOT’S ILLNESS MAY CAUSE RETIREMENT Colonel Sanger Will Probably Suc- ceed Him in the Cabinet as Secretary of War. NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—A special to the New York Journal Zfrom Washington says: Friends of Secretary Root fear that he will not be able to resume his official duties. They are in possession of certain information from Root’s physiclans which gives them much apprehension. He has been sick a long time and there is no pros- pect that he will shortly regain his health sufficiently to return to Washington, It is understood that the disability of which Root is suffering is of a cancerous nature and does not lend itself to medical treat- ment. Should Root resign it is probable thai Assistant Secretary Sanger will suc- ceed him. Sanger is an energetic man and thoroughly familiar with the policy and plans of Root. The latter has implicit faith in Sanger and dictated his appoint- ment against political opposition after Meiklejohn’s resignation. i Rhode Island’s Democratic Ticket. PROVIDENCE, R.
