Texas in the naval battle off Santiago,
July 3, 1898, in which the Spanish
feet under Admiral Cervera was sunk.
was the basis of the greater part of.
yesterdays proceedings in the Schleyi
naval court Of inquiry. OF the four
witnesses examined during the day
three had been officers on board the
Texas during the battle and two of
them were new witnesses. These
were Commander George C.. Heilner,
who was navigator on the Texas, and
Commander Alexander Il. Bates, who
was the chief engineer on that ship.
Commander HARDER, chief executive
officer, and the chief surviving officer
of the ship since the death of Captain
Phillip, was recalled. The fourth
witness was Commander Seaton
Schroeder, executive officer on the
Massachusetts,, and now governor of
the island Of Guam.
The testimony several times during
the day was somewhat exciting and it
was especially 80 when Commander
Heilner described the battle and the
part the Texas had taken in IL.
He said that when the Brooklyn
made its loop at the beginning Of the
battle It had passed around the Texas
bow at n distance not to exceed 100 or
$50 yards, aud that at the command Of
Captain Phillips the Texas had been
brought to a dead stop. Engineer
Bates testified that the starboard en-
gines had been stopped and said he
thought this also had happened to the
port engines. Commander Heilner ex-
pressed the opinion that sthree miles
had been lost by this maneuver and
the fact that part of the machinery
was deranged. He said he considered
that the Texas was in greater danger
when the Brooklyn crossed her bows
at any other time during the bat
tie.
On ros examination Commander
admitted having taken part in
the preparation of the official navy de-
partment chart showing the positions
at different times Of the ships which
participated in the battle. He said
that according TO this chart the two
ships never were nearer than six hun
dred yards of each other. But, he con-
tended, the chart was inaccurate and
he said he had consented to it only as
n compromise.
Commander Bates admitted that the
official steam log Of the Texas con-
tanned no record of the signal to re-
verse the engines.
Commander Schroeder testified con
corning the coal supply Of the Massa-
chusetts, which he said would have
been sufficient for a blockade of from
to twenty days.

ed controversy between counsel as to
