Replying to a question put in accordance with
this decision the witness said that his in
structions contained in the memorandum
handed him 10 be delivered TO Rear Admiral
Schley which were read to him.
HOODS INTERVIEW WITH SCHLEY
The witness then read dispatch No. 8, from
Sampson to Schley OF May p, telling the latter
that the Spanish squadron was probably at
Santiago. He also read the Brooklyn's receipt
memorandum showing that this dispatch as
we'll the accompanying memorandum had
been received at S:15 a. IN. May % The wit

ried. He also said that he had carried two other
envelopes one containing orders from the de-

rived off Cienfuegos at May % and had
gone aboard the Brooklyn for the purpose of de-

In response to a request from the Judge-Ad-

delivering the orders saying that he (the wit

Rear Admiral Sampson's wish that the FLYING
Squadron should proceed Immediately to Santi-

statement follows: Commodore Schley
read the dispatches. and then turning to me
said: Captain. Admiral Sampson wishes me to
go to Santiago. I cannot do it / told Com
modore Schey that the Admiral certainly ex-
pected the squadron to leave the instant 1 ar
rived. Commodore Schley then said, in nearly
these words: i am not at all satisfied that the
Spaniards here In Cienfuegos Besides
my ships all want coal. He added that the

Sampsons chief OF staff, when he arrived at
Key West On this point he said:
.'In addition to written reports or dispatches

the Cubans near Cienfuegos. That was not done
until l heard that Commodore Schley was pro-
ceeding to Cienfuegos"

Captain McCalla next told OF his return to
Cienfuegos, on May 81, with dispatches for Rear
Admiral Schley. He said
1T had been reported authoritatively in Key
West on May 10, and when l sailed on the af
ternoon of May 81. that the Spanish squadron
was still at Santiago
Q.-And you communicated that information to
Commodore Schey verbally? Accommodate
Schley told me he thought the Spanish squadron
was IN Cienfuegos; that he had received newspapers
from steamer Adula some days previous: that
one of the newspapers contained cable dispatch
from Santiago and from that he gathered that the
Spanish force under Admiral Cervera might have
sailed from Santiago In time TO reach Cienfuegos
Just before the arrival OF the force under his

and dynamite for the Cuban camp to the westward.
and that II he would let me go | would find out

Cdttle-There was a good run of cattle
today so far as numbers are concerned,
but the quality was rather common.
There were a few pretty good westerns.
but the fat steers as general thing
were common. The same was true of the
corn-feds. The scarcity of good cattle
naturally had a tendency TO make buy
ers Indifferent and the liberal receipts
all the week also gave them an excuse
for buying conservatively. The market
was far from being active. and 1t was
late before the bulk of the offerings was
disposed of. There were only just few
corn-fed steers In the yards and most or
those were on the commonish order. Good
stuff would probably have sold about
steady, but the undesirable grades were
slow sale. and in most cases little
lower. There were close to seventy-fve
market was steady to little lower
Bulls. calves and stays sold at about
yesterdays prices, where the quality
was satisfactory. but otherwise they were
very slow and lower. There were not
very many western beef steers included
in the receipts this morning. and while
the good kinds sold about steady. the
common grades were slow and generally
a little lower Cows sold steady to
little lower and good heavy feeders were
steady and active. Common feeders were
not wanted at any price.
Hogs-There was by no means heavy
run of hogs and sellers for that reason
held their droves at stronger prices. Buy
ers started in bidding just about steady
with yesterday. but they only got few
loads. as sellers were asking an advance
of 212d0c. Packers would not pay it and
so 1t was rather late before very much
was done. They finally, however. were
forced to raise their bids and the bulk of
the hogs sold at $6.5714 and $3.50, or
shade stronger than yesterday. Some OF
the choicer loads went at S6.62l2 and
from that up to $6.75.
Sheep-The receipts of sheep and lambs
were liberal, making the supply for the
week exceptionally heavy. Packers are
evidently pretty we'll filled up, as they
did not take hold with much life. and the
morning was we'll advanced before very
much was done. AS general thing the
better grades of ewes and wethers sold
at just about yesterdays prices but the
lambs they tried to buy little lower,
particularly if the quality was not very
good 1t was a slow market from start
to finish on fat stuff. but feeders were
active and sold without much trouble at
fully yesterdays prices.
