Soon after the physicians pronounc-

would come back to life again. The

the body inferred, and Shinn's flu

CAPT. CHADWICK EXPLAINS.
The blockading ships at Santiago were
kept fired properly.

New YORK, Dec. 2S-Capt. #. E.
Chadwick commander of the cruiser
New York gave out statement deny
ing allegations made by the Engineer
ing Magazine that the United States
warships that destroyed Ceryera's fleet
at Santiago on July 3 were not in a
proper state of preparedness when the
Spanish fleet attempted TO escape.
Engines were uncoupled it was stated
boilers were either empty or full of
salt water. and the CRATES were cold.
Capt. Chadwick says
1.-THE New York and Brooklyn have
four engines all of which together can
only be used TO advantage with full
power. The New York was using 45
tons of coal day on the blockade.
1t was practice to keep steam on four
of the six boilers; the fifth filed with
water kept hot by the hydrokineter
and primed ready for firing and the
sixth cleaning. This was the condi-
tion the day of the action. The sixth
boiler, as were all the rest, was filed
with fresh, not salt water. To have
kept fire sufficient to use efficiently all
the engines coupled would have occa
stoned an expenditure of coal which
would have forced the New York from
her station, as it did others. As it
was she was hanging on by her eyelids
so to speak avoiding as long as posi-
bic going to Guantanamo for coal.
The use of her engines and the Brook
lyn's coupled before the moment of
full power would have been very
serious detriment and after full power
was on it would have been absurd to
have stopped to couple when going Is
or II knots and thus lose from four to
five miles when it was SO clearly ap-
parent that the chase was being rap
idly overhauled. Stringent orders
existed regarding the use of fresh
water in all ships; it was not singular
to the Oregon. The New York never
had any but fresh water in her boilers
and circular order of Admiral Samp-
sons of May % covered this matter in
great detail If full steam had been
kept at all times it would simply have
meant more ships off their stations
and less force to meet the enemy.
1t would have been foolish thing to
do from any point of view particular
~ from the engineering as feeding
continuously into the condensers at a
high pressure would have been most
injurious to them and we should have
our ships shortly altogether incapaci-
tated
