Hanna finished his argument in behalf of the department, which had been begun yes- terday, and Captain James Parker began but did not conclude his presentation of the case for Admiral Schley.

HALPRUNER MEDICAL M'F'G CO0. 28 California St, S. F. fered vesterday had disappeared. In opening Hanna briefly reverted to the cruise of the fiying squadron from Clentuegos to Santiago for the purpose of showing that neither the Vixen nor the Merrimac had been the cause of delay on the voyage. He con- tinued his discussion of the retrograde move- ment, saying that but one explanation had been given for It in Admiral Schley's dispatch, namely, the inadequacy of the coal supply, al- though In his testimony before this court A miral Schley gave four reasons for leaving his station off Santiago. » Hanna contended that while Commodore Schley was acting under the orders contained in dispatch No. 8 when the retrograde move- ment began, May 26, that order was superseded by the dispatches delivered on the Brooklyn May 27 by Captain Cotton, in command of the Harvard, and in one of which it was sald that “All_thé department’s information indicates the Spanish division is still at Santiago de and to which the order was added: “The department looks to you to ascertain the fact that the enemy, if therein, does not leave without a decisive action.” Hanna took issue with Admiral Schley that this was a suggestion and not a mandatory order. “So far {rom belng suggestive, doubtful or uncertain are the terms of this order that they approach the’ verge of reproof,” sald Hanna. ““Their incisive distinctness is notable, so much s0 that I think few subordinate officers, had they turned their backs on a task to which they had been assigned, would care to have received such a telegraphic order from a super- ior_couched in such terms.'’ Hanna quoted Admiral Schley’s dispatch of May 27, in which he expressed regret over not belng able to obey orders, saying that as it was written after the Cotton dispatch had been zecelved it was an explicit confession that the Cotton telegram was an order. Commenting upon this dispatch he declared that it was ‘‘the most remarkable one to be found in the annals of the American navy.” He contended that the repairs to the Merrimac could have been made, as they were, without going to Key West' and that the Texas was not in severe straits for fuel. As for the Vixen, he said, she was not a fighting ship and could have been sent for coal. He asserted that the Weather was rough only on May 2, and that therefore Commodore Schley’s assertion that the weather had been bolsterows was un- founded. The speaker also controverted the statement made in Schley's dispatch to the department to the effect that ‘it is not possible to cruise to the eastward of Cape Cruz in the summer on ac- count of the southwest winds,” alleging that the wind was not from the southwest. Quot- ing from the same dispatch “it Is to be re- gretted the department’s orders cannot be obeyed,”” Hanna said the action of Admiral Schley in abandoning his station/off Santiago, thus, as he himself states, failing to obey the department’s orders, created grave anxiety in our national councils. Taking up the coal sup- ply of the fleet as required by specifications of the precept, Hanna said: The Supply of Coal. “From the story of the commanding and other officers of the Brooklyn, the Iowa, the Massachusetts, the Marblehead and the execu- tive and other officers of the Texas, and from the steam logs of those vessels, It would ap- pear that fully and completely as any fact can be shown by evidence it has been estab- lished that the flying squadron was on May 21, 1838, fairly well equipped with coal.” Specification No. 7 was next considered. This requires an inquiry as to whether every proper effort was made to capture the Colon as that vessdl lay in the harbor at Santiago, and re- ferring to it Hanna said: “‘Certain "cautionary orders, confidential in their character, issued by the department and printed in_the records and also in the appendix of the Bureau of Naviga- tion, have been cited as forbidding the expos- ure ‘of vessels to the fire of batteries and as justifylng Commodore Schley's conduct of the Eo-called reconnaissance of May 31. Assuming that the substance of these orders was com- municated to Commodore Schley by Admiral Sampson at Key West on the 15th of May, 189, it is clear that they have no application io the gonditions existing at Santiago on the Slst of ay." Hanna then referred to the elghth specifica- tion of the precept, concerning the withdrawal of the ships of the flying squadron from the vicinity of the harbor -at Santiago at might. Of this be said: “It does not appear from the testimony ad- duced before this court that the vessels of the flying squadron were withdrawn from the en- trance to Santiago harbor to a distance at sea, and therefore the extent and character of such withdrawal need not be discussed,” Taking up the blockade of Santiago, Hanna sald he did not feel compelled to discuss it, and therefore would content himself with out- lining the charge. He said that beyond the Brooklyn’s turn the battle was not involved in the inquiry. He quoted Captain Evans of the Towa and Lieutenant Nicholson of the Oregon to sustain the contention that the Texas came to a stop. Thus, he argued, a battleship was not only imperiled but delayed by the danger of collision at this critical time. After the noon recess Hanna continued his remarks concerning the Brooklyn's loop, con- tending that it was not made to avoid the Brooklyn's being rammed, as there: was no such effort at that time. He quoted Comman- der Wainwright's testimony to the effect that the Brooklyn's turn left a gap for the escape of the enemy. Hanna also discussed the reported colloquy between Commodore Schley and Lieutenant Hodsson, which forms the tenth count in the precept, in which Schley was reported to have said during the turn, “Damn the Texas.” This remark, Hanna said, showed a lack of inter- est in another ship of the fleet. He expreesed the opinion that there was much to Sustain Hodgson's recollection of this incident. He ulso discussed the question of the corregpone ence between Admiral Schley and Lieutenant Commarder Hodgson on this subject. That correspondence had been initlated by the ad- miral, said Hanna, and he made the point that in his letters Hodgson had maintained the cor- rectness of his original position. With his r marks upon this correspondence, Hanna cor cluded his speech at 2:30 p. m., having spoken about Aour_and a half hours. Captain Parker, junior counsel for Admiral Schiey, then began his address In support of Admiral Schley. “T' 'doubt.”” said Cantein Parker, “If the naval history of the world presents or ever has presented a case of the importance and char- acter of the case we have s long been en- gaged upon. I doubt if a tribunal more ex- alted in the character of the persons who com- pose it ever sat in judgment uvon a brother officer. I doubt if an officer with the life-long character and standing and conduct that Admiral Schley has always displayed was ever called unon before to ask an investiga- tion of his conduct as a victorious commander of a-fleet.’” Continuing, Captain Parker compared this case with the charges at the battle of Lake Ere Then there might have besn some foundation, but in this there was no foundation whatever. He said the court had in jts wisdom presented comparison with other officers engaged in the Santiago campaign. ““There is no accuser here,” he said, ‘‘nobody is on trial. and yet the case has been conducted as though Commodore Sehley were on trial. We get/it,” he went on, “in the order of the arguinent now being made here, We are compelled tc consider the inquiry as a trial.” Sampson’s Orders to Schley. Taking up the events of the campalgn in their sequence, Captain Parker spoke of the interviews between Admiral Sampson and Com- modore Schley at Key West, saying that he would not give Admiral Schley's testimony on this point. He pointed out, however, that Schley was not then informed that the Spanish fleet had left Curacao, notwithstanding Samp- son had been in possession of this information for three or four days. He then quoted Samp- son’s orders to Schley tu proceed to Clenfuegos and there establish a blockade, and quoted Schley's testimony to the effect’ that Sampson told him he had at that time no advices as to the whereabouts of the Spanfards. Speaking of the cruise to Cienfuegos, Captain Parker sald it was inconsistent to crificise Ad- miral Schiey for stopping to take Captain Ches- ter on board while at the same time criticlsing him for not calling Captain McCalla aboard. “3We can't,’ he aid, “blow hot and cold in the same breath. The truth is there was no real delay in the voyage. Reverting to the claim that Commodore Schley bad not made proper efforts to locate the enemy at Cienfuegos, Captain Parker sald that the task of landing a boat on the coast was an exceedingly dangerous on “There is no evidence,!’ he said, ‘‘to show that Cantain McCalla made any attempt to sénd his men on shore, except during his cable. cutting expedition, when the results were dis- astrous. He assumed, and rightfully assumed, that the people there were enemlies and he acted accordingly.” 3 As for the Clenfuegos blockade, he held it was sufficient that no vessel had gone in or out. without permission. Admiral Schley had taken all steps to ascertaln If the enemy was there. The question of the signal lights on shore at Clenfuegos Was also reverted to and the speaker said it was certain that Commo- dore Schley had not known anything of thetr significance until Captain McCalla arrived. What earthly reason Captain Chadwick had for not communicating the signals to him, Captain Parker sald, was beyond his comprehension, So far as seen Chadwick was the only person to whom McCalla had communicated his code. Hence, if Chadwick had prepared the McCall memorandum it could very. well be inferred, as he had information that no one else had. fhat he would have regarded the memorandum in a different light sfrom others who knew less. “T contend,” he said, “‘that up to this time, so far as the blockede Is concerned, so far as his conduct there is concerned, there is abso- lutely nothing to show by the testim {his case of the clightest suspiolon of f be placed upon Commodore Schley.” some of them ARGUMENT AT COURT OF INQUIRY o The speaker then read the ‘‘Dear Schley'" let- ter of May 20, In which Admiral Sampson said he had decided not to change his plans to hold Clentaegos, as he felt that even if Cervera had taken refuge at Santlago he must inevi- tably still go to Clenfuegos, and commented upon it at some length. He contended that both this dispatch and No: § had been sent at a later date than had been suggested by the naval officials. Sampson had, he sald, in- structed Schley to remain at Cienfuegos, not- withstanding the department’s advice to pro- ceed to Santiago, and in No. 8 discretion had plainly been given to hley. “Suppose,”” he said, had gone off and it had been found that the Spaniards were there: he would have been condemned, and justly, and in case of court-martial learned friends’ here would have thundered against him. I say that no criticism_is deserved for the commodore's conduct at Ctenfuegos.” Taking up the question of the progress of the flying squadron from Cienfuegos to San- tiago, Captamn Parker sald if any one would take 'the ‘trouble to look at the logs of the ships It will be seen that there is nothing in that charge. 1 preter to take what the officers wrote at the time rather than what they say now.’ Parker claimed that in the passage from Clenfuegos to Santlago the speed of the slow- est_vessel of the squadron must be thé speed of the squadron. It would not have been the common sense idea of the situation he said, to have abandoned the collier and make all speed tor Santiaga. Captain Parker also commended Commodore ‘Schley’s conduct of the cruise to Santiago. He said he had acted according to the dictates of his best judgment—a judgment which, the captain said, was better than that of less ex- perienced ofticers, an experience which had been gained in command ‘‘under circumstances of every nature, in the Arctic, around both eaj on every sea and under every sun. He was at least as likely to be as correct as those young officers Who for the first time in thelr lives were given command of a small boat.” Taking the fleet to the southward from San tiago, May 2, Captain Parker detailed the meeting with the scout boats and said that the condemnation of the commodore for not communicating with Captains Jewel and Wise ‘was puerile. ‘Ail that Wise had to do,”” he sald, “‘was to signal that he had important information and he would have been asked to come on board. It is the business, the clear duty, of any sub- ordinate officer to make known to his superior any information he may Have. In the absence of informatlon by the cap- tains of the Yale and Minneapolis Captain Parker held Commodore Schley had a right to suppose that Captain Sigsbee had given all the information to be had from the scouts. Captain Parker sald that officer was “‘curiously blind, not purposely blind, but curiously blind, He rot only had not been able to find out anything about the Colon, but when she was there and in plain sight on May 2, a clear, bright day, when 'Sigsbee was oft the harbor he failed to see her. This is to me one of the mysteries of the campalgn.” Commodore Acted Wisely. Continuing, he said that with the information given Schiey had acted wisely in turning back to Key West. ‘“‘Whether he acted wisely and his judgment was sound s for you, gentlemen of the court, to say, not with the information that has come since, but with the light that the commodore had at that time.’’ Going back to the crulse to Cienfuegos Cap- tain Parker referred to the sending away of the Eagle, He said that Commodore Schley had not sent that vessel away from choice, but because of his great need for auxiliary crulsers. Captain Parker referred to the dis- patch from the department received by the Harvard at Mole St. Nicholas, May 2. “‘Proceed at once and inform Schiey and also senior officer present off Santiago de Cuba,’ he read from the dispatch. ‘“I'hat .dispatch does not contemplate at all that Admiral Schley is at Santiago,” he continued. ‘It is to inform Commodore Schley and also the com- manding ‘officer off Santiago. So that at that time the department evidently did not contem- plate that Commodore Schley had arrived at Santiago, and yet we have heard it sald he Was due there on the 24th.”” Quoting frqm the dispatch Captain Parker read: ‘“The department's information indicates the Spanish division is still at Santiago.” “Is there anything positive about that?” he asked. “If the department had chosen to say that the Spanish squadron was at Santlago, that would have been another thing, but it not say that. There were still some doubts apparent in the mind of the department on thai subject.’” Referring at this point to the testimony of Captin Sigsbee, Captain Parker said it was not necessary to impeach anybody's veracity. ‘But slippery mefnory, after all these years, is a very unsafe thing to go by,” he continued, “‘and the/memory of four or five persons as to What Sigsbee said is better than that of Sigs- bee. 1 think the court can be sure that Cap- taln Sigsbee did say to Commodore Schley when he came aboard the Brooklyn that ‘the Dons are not there. Again_quoting from the dispatch, Parker read: . fa.The departmient looks to you to ascertain lacts.”” “Did not_the commodore ascertain facts?” he asked. “ ‘And that the enemy therein does not leave without decisive action’ i he. con- tinued, reading. ‘‘Well, was there nbt decisive action?’ he asked. ‘““The poor old Spanish ad- | miral came out with his fiags flying gaily at his mastheads on that Sunday morning and be- fore 1 o'clock of that day he saw his ships on the beach burning, blowing up and all de- stroved. He cgme on board the American ship ‘without shoes for his feet or hat for his heaa, | in & pair of drawers and an undershirt. De- cisive action! Was there anything that was more decisive than that?"' Captain Parker then took up Commodore Schiey's dispatch forwarded by the Harvard and defended the position taken by the com- modore in that message. He then referred to the sentence in which the commodore informed | the department that he had been unable to obey orders, ‘‘earnestly as all have striven.'’ If a subordinate informs us that he is unable to obey orders we do not charge him with disobedience. We censure him for bad judg- ment, but for nothing more serious. Failure under such_circumstances is not always diso- bedience. We can all look back and see how we could have done differently. ‘Now 1 say that Commodore Schley never had any orders: It was merely a_suggestion as to what he aid do. He was to find out if that squadron was there and to see that it did not leave without a decisive action. Even if it is true that the commodore committed gross errors of judg- ment, which I do not admit, he had no motive | but fo do his whole duty, as from the begin- | ning he has always done it, no more, no less.” Concluding his remarks for the day, Captain Parker sald: ““That brings us to a discussion of the so- called reconnaissance, which I think can_ ba summed up in 2 very few words. We have had the information of all the gentlemen who were clothed with no responsibility in the case that they could and they would, etc., ete. Well, rhaps they would, undoubtedly they could Pave gone in, the whole of them, and risked the ships and been called fools for their pains. They might have come out successful, they might have done something to the Colon which was not done; they might have sunk her. I do not_think that is in the least probable. There is one little Incldent about this matter. We are permitted to get up to the 1st of June and we see by the log of the Colon:that she was there until 1:35. At 7 g’clock in the morn- ing the commander in chief, Admiral Sampson, came there and the Colon ‘was pointed out to him, and there she lay for four hours and a half without a gun being fired at her. blaming anybody for this. “The exerclse of the siightest judgment,” the speaker said, when the clock struck four. “Time's up,”” said Admiral Dewey. and with- out giving the captain an opportunity to con- clude the sentence the court adjourned.
