penalty Of their crime.
Not only was the murder o.uel and
dastardly. but It was committed in
pursuance of criminal conspiracy, by
members of'an organized band Of.blaok

Designed ia its real purpose TO shield

as Andrew Mckinney. Itappealcd for

it's operations or srrest and punish Its
leaders.
The murder for which the five negro>

BROOKLYN BORE BRUNT
OF THE GREAT BATTLE
SChIey Flagship HotIy Peppered by Spaniards, But
Made Good Showing in Return.
Admiral Finishes His Direct Testimony Is Crossexamned by
Captain Lemy

with the commanders at Hampton
Roads before the flying squadron sailed
to the southwark. In reply. Admiral
Schlsy said that Captains Higginson,
Jewell. Sands, Cook and Mark were
present He explained that they had
discussed the order Of battle in case
the Spanish fleet was met. and alSn
the question of place below the war
heads of the over-water torpedoes.
Was there any other consultation
with the captains2"
Yes, off Santiago. for the purpose OF
explaining the formation Of the block
ade and the method of attack in case
we met the Spanish fleet"
Was there any prescribed order Of
battle in writinE?"
No Prescribed Plans.
Il did not consider it necessary. We
would fight the ships by signal"
Was there time to place the order
of battle in writing?"
Yes. 1 do not think the regulations
provide that the order of battle shall
be reduced to writing
The judge advocate then questioned
Admiral Schley as to the identity of
the Cubans who had informed him al
Hampton Roads that the portion of the
island Of Cuba west of Havana and
CienfuegOs was held by the Spanish
soldiers. He replied that he could not
give the names, lndL they were u
hans who had come to him as COM
nander of the lying squadron TO give
him that information.
He was then closely questioned as
to who was present in the cabin of the
New York at Key West when he talked
over the campaign with Admiral Samp-
son. Admiral Schley replied that Cap
tain Chadwick had been present part
of the time.
When was this?"
"On May IS"
: Did Admiral Sampson exhibit to YOU
/ any or all the instructions he had from
1 the navy department."
No He simply spoke of his conf

Conference With Sampson.

I was a rather long conference. and HI
/ reiterated that he could not recall
whether Captain Chadwick was presen
all the time.

the communication from the Marble
head. conveyed to Schley through tn

on it's way to Cienfuegos. The admira
said that the message he received wa

trance to Cienfuegos ,"
"A little after daylight May %"
Heard Guns at Cienfugos.
The judge advocate called the ad-
miraPs attention to his statement to
the senate that while on the bridge of
the Brooklyn on the afternoon of May
p. being then about thirty miles from
CienfuegoS, he heard big guns fired
with the regularity of a salute The
admiral stated that he remembered
the incident distinctly. He did not
know the exact distance. He did not
consult the log.
Does not the log show that you were
forty-five miles from the harbor?"
L DO not know
The admiral proceeded to explain
that the communication sent to the
senate was gotten up hurriedly and
largely from memory in the closing
days of the session. and he may have
make some slight mistakes.
Captain Lemly asked the witness to
look at the signal book of the Brooklyn
for May % and to read a signal which
had been made at 5:35 a. m. by the
Texas to the flagship. This he did,
reading as follows:
please tell me what we have to do
today"
Flagship to Texas (5:4O p. M. When
/ we get close to the fort we viii block
ade it and unite, but Will keep under
way, ready for anything"
Ships Cleared for Action.
In answer to a question from Captain
/ Lemly regarding the orders Clear
ship for action" Admiral Schley ex-
! planned that the ships were practically
cleared for action all the time, but there
| was always a certain amount of para
phernalia aboard the ships to prevent
persons falling overheard, or awnings
which had to be removed, and that was
what he had in mind when he signaled
| to Clear ship for action"
(which was the closer blockade, al

How long did you intend to remaio
at Cienfuegos2"
My intention was to remain until
we got something more definite"
how did you expect to get more
definite information"
From the AduIa when she came
out"
What other steps had you then in
mind to ascertain the presence OF the
enemy's ships?'
In the meantime McCaua came up.
If he had not come and the Adula had
not come out I should probably have

State of the Weather.
The judge advocate then asked a Sc
ries of questions TO develop the state
OF the weather May %. Various OFF,
GERS had testified that they boarded the
Brooklyn in small boats. The witness
testified that there was a heavy swell
on.
When Captain AcCaua gave YOU
! the Information with regard to the
Spanish fleet not being in Cienfuegos
did you determine to leave for Santiago
that day2"

at the time the sending of the Scorpion.

which you say; I have ascertained

Yes; I said that"
Difficulty in Coaling.
In reply to a question Admiral Schlev
said he felt that there would be great
/ er difficulty in cOaling off Santiago
than there was at CienfuegOs.
You anticipated difficulty, then, in
coaling at Santiago
| Undoubtedly. In June we coaled
considerably there, but on one occasion
we cast of after coaling for an hour
or so. As our experience increased we
got on better, and. furthermore, the
later Golfers were better arranged than
the former"
Had you less coal when you arrived
off Santiago than you had expected to
have2"
y don't know but / had. on account
Of the limited supply of the scout boats

Asked why. if he believed the enemy's
vessels had left Santiago before he left
! CfenfuegOs, he had not dispersed his
vessels more widely in order to inter-
Cept them, the admiral said that that
was a military disposition about which
there might be reasonable difference Of
opinion. Such d disposition would have
rendered the smaller vessels more liza
bic to attack
The admiral. in reply to Captain
Lemly, further said that he had said
nothing in his dispatch Of May .
about taking one vessel at a time %
Hayti for coal.
THAT goes without saying" he
added, because when one is blockad-
ing a port he could not entirely aban-
don it and take all his ships away 70
coal them at one time. Evidently only
one vessel would have been taken
: away at a time for ccaling purposes "
