WHAT sOHLEY SAID.

The following colloquy, several times
published in the newspapers, said to
have occurred between Admiral Schley
and Lieutenant Commander Hodgson
on the bridge of the Brooklyn during
the engagement at Santiago, has
brought forth an official report from
Captain Chadwiok
Schley-Hard aport!
Hodgson-You mean starboard.
Schley-No, l don't We are near
enough to them (the Spauiards) already.
Hodgson-.But we will cut down the
Texas.
Schley--the Texas! Let her look
out for herself.
Hodgson, it will be remembered, de-
MED that such q colloquy took place,
but in his report to Captain Chadwick
be states that he only intended to re
flute the literal correctness Of the dia-
logue as printed, and not to deny that
any conversation took place between
himself and the Admiral. While be
admits that the newspaper reports con
corning colloquy were correct, that
the exact words as printed were not
used. He Gays: "As we we're approach.
ing the Spanish ships heard Admiral
Sohley say port or starboard several
times to Captain Cook, in the coming
tower, the Admiral being on the plat
form surrounding the coming tower. /
had been on the bridge above aud was
lust coming down to report the
position of the ship when I head the
Admiral say, Hard aport.' The Maria
Teresa was then hauling abaft our port
beam. The Brooklyn was heading about
northeast. l told the Admiral, or at
least suggested to him, that the Texas
was very close on orr starboard hand
and that turning to starboard would
bring us too close to her. I don't know
that I used the word collision did
not say You mean starboard.' in
tended him to understand there was
danger of running into the Texas. He
said, All right or words to that effect
Il cannot repeat verbatim. When
knew he was going to turn to starboard
suggested backing the starboard en-
CINE in order to make smaller circle
and give the Texas wider berth, but
be decided against that as decreasing
the speed of the turn. He did not say,
that know of, I'VE are near enough to
them (the spaniards) already The
only thing I gathered from what be
said was that if we turned to port, we
should get so close that we should ex-
pose ourselves to torpedo attack. |

replied to him that had not seen
them.u

The Situation in the Pbilinnines.

The Situation in the Philippines.
Manila, June 20.-Gen. Wheaton
bivouacked in the field last night and
early this morning advanced OF the
rebel stronghold OF Perez Dasmarines,
near which place yesterday the insur-
gents in force were so CALAMITY resisted
by small accommodating party under
Major Bubb. Gen. Wheaton's advance
was contested by the rebels but after
moderately heavy fighting the Ameri-
cans occupied Perez Dasmarinas. At
ter occupying the town, Gen. Wheaton
examined the sanitation which he de
cided was so bad as to make it danger
GUS to garrison the place. The forces
under Gen. Wheaton will push on to-
morrow to Buena Vista. which is sup.
posed to be the site of the rebels powder
mill. The rebels mutilated American
dead yesterday. The bodies of two
soldiers of the 4th Infantry, who fell in
the running fight back to linus were
left behind by their comrades. The
bodies were found today with the right
ears cut off, throats cut and slashes
across the face.
WhSuluStou, ~. ". julio ~ IL uc
War Department this morning re-
ceived the following cablegrsm from
General Otis, dated Manila, June 20:
Wheaton sent battalion south on re-
connoisapce in the direction of Das Ma
rinas yesterday morning where the
enemy was reported concentrating their
scattered forces. The battalion en-
countered the enemy's force of two
thousand marching to attack linus,
and successfully impeded its progress.
Wheaton with two guns and two bat
talions hurried forward and repulsed
the enemy with heavy loss. The enemy
left over one hundred dead Oh the field;
our loss FIVE killed, twenty.three
wounded. Wheaton was reinforced
last night by battalion of the Ninth
infantry and is driving the enemy
beyond Das Marinas, now in his pos
session. The casualties today are not
reported, Wheaton's qualities for bold
and successful attack are unsurpassed.
The next engagement with the insurgents
few miles weat of Perezdas Marinas, but
which is separated from the latter by three
email rivers, each of which must be crossed
by our men in the face of great difficulties.
There is no good road as there is between
I'm US and Dss Marinas, only bridal path.
The insurgents, if driven out of Buena Vista,
might make their way back to linus, con.
tingency which it seems difficult to avoid.
