 THE VICTORIA COURT MARTIAL. Rear Admiral Markham's Story of How the Disaster Occurred. VALErTA, Malta, July 19-Ths court martial which Is trying certain of the of ticers of the British war ship Victoria fer losing their vessel off Tripoli, Syria, re- stunned its sitting this morning. The first witness called was Rear Admiral Mar khan. whose flag was flying on the Csmperdown at the time she ran into and sank the Vic toris. His official despatchss to the Ad- miralty reporting the fact and the details of the disaster were read, and then he stated that he had nothing to add to them.
 When questioned ss to the impression made upon Jim when the signal of Vice Admiral Try on was hoisted on the Victoria ordering that the distance between the two columns be six cable lengths, the rear ad- miral replied that when the signal was read he said to his flag lieutenant: "That Is impossible, since it Is an impraeticsble msnpuvre."
 The rear admiral then repeated the story of the signals as contained in his dispatches to the admiralty. He said that when he aignslled to the Victoria that he did not quite understand the signal, the Victoria answered that the Uamperdown was delay ing the manmuvres. It then occurred to the witness that he was to put the helm of the Camperdown down and turn her six teen points to stsrbosrd, while the Victoria would ease her helm and circle round on tue OutsIu6 or the OlFlel0n which WAS be- ing led by the Camperdown.
 Rear Admiral Markham further said that he had conferred with his flag lieutenant and captain and that both concurred in his assumption that the Victoria was to pass around on the outside of the Campsrdown Had this assumption been founded on fact the maneuver would have been attended by no danger. When he discovered that his assumption was wrong he watched the Victoria helm signal with the closest atten- tion. The rear admiral stated that he was coguizsnt of Vice Admiral Tryon's memor- sndum in r'gard to discretionary obedi- ence of orders when strict obedience would entail disaster.
 Markham stated that when he asw that the Victoria's helm signals were not answered he ordered Captain Johnston to reverse the Csmperdown's starbosrd screw and to close the watertight doors in the collision bulkhesds. Thess orders were promptly obeyed. Soon after Admiral Markham saw that ollisi Il was inevitable and the order to go sstern with both engines was signalled to the engine room. When the signal flag on the Victoria was hauled the Campegdown was powerlsss.
 Admiral Markham also said: ''If Vice Admiral Tryon had circled around ms 1t HOulu nave pE6sSINtu luc OTuCE OI tue fleet, and this l thought might have been his intentions. I am sure I could have done nothing 10 prevent the collision after the Victoria and Camperdown had turned eight points with their bows on each other. If had gone sstern with both screws the Edinburgh would have rammed me. I ss- sume entire responsibility for the manage ment of the ship"
 Witness stated that he had often psr- formed evolutions without perceivipg their object, which was only explained by the commander in-chief afterwsrds. He had never before received a signal that caused doubts as to the safety of it's execution, but he had implicit confidence in Vice Ad- miral Tryon and therefore felt no anxiety about obeying his orders.
 Flag Lieutenant Bradshaw of the Cam perdown eorrobersted the testimony of Rear Admiral Markham. Captain Johnston of the Camperdown also gave testimony similar to that of tho rear admiral. Wit ness thought 1t extremity dangerous to act contrary to commanders order for manouver, which perhaps had been care fully considered and worked out mAthe- matieally. He believed thst the leader of of the first division had the power to pre- vent the accident by reversing her helm in
