So much testimony favorable to Rear
Admiral Schley is being sdduced at the
Naval Court of Inquiry that popular in

cation and have been turned into good
material for the defence liz it may
be characterized. They have either de-
monstrated animosIty in such a manner
or been so inconsistent upon cross ex.
animation, that Schley has profited by
their appearance. Another fact worthy

has been uniformly in favor of his cele-
