pending Of coal faster than it could be
put on board by coaling in the open, and
we were therefore obliged to send

coal, the vessel returning to her block

you can see that the whole force was on
hand throughout every night, the time
when all suspected it was most likely to
be needed.
Furthermore, while it would, of
course, have been best, had il been
possible TO have had every ship in her
station at all times. there never was

force on the blockade was not far sup

in controversy as result Of the Santiago
campaign.
The questions and answers which fol-
low were transcribed land the tyye-

Admiral, you have been severely
criticized of late for starting to Siboney
on the morning OF the Santiago battle.
What was your reason for so doingP"
was asked.

request Of Major General Shafter who
had demanded cNuncil of war. He
being i'll at the time and, moreover, be-
ing senior to me, it was incumbent upon
me to 20 to him. chose the time Of
day when II seemed least likely that
Cervera's fleet would come out of the
harbor. This opinion is substantiated
by the fact that Cervera has been
severely criticized for choosing this most
inopportune time rather than waiting
until just before dark when he would
have had an opportunity to scatter his
ships with a good chance OF some escape
in the darkness"
"You have alec been criticised for
weakening your fleet by sending the
battleship Massachusetts, to G Guantanamo
for coal. Your critics say that you
should have been court martialed for
not keeping your entire force on the
blockade line and coaling from colliers."
"This weakening of the line was an
unavoidable feature OF the blockade. Al
