.SCHLEY COURT OPENS
NAVAL MEN SAY THAT SCHLEY
WAS NEGLIGENT.
MERE OPINIONS ARE BARRED.
Tribunal Seeks Them, But With
draws Leading Question Upon
Objection by schley.

Washington, Sept. 22-The Schley
court OF inquiry reconyened Friday, and
before adjournment examined four wit
nesses. The most important incident
of the day was the decision of the court
Withdrawing the question. put by the
court itself, asking a witness to give
his opinion concerning point under
controversy.
The witness was Rear Admiral Hig-
ginson, who participated in the Santi-
ago campaign as captain of the battle
ship Massachusetts. This vessel at one
time was part of the Flying Squadron
commanded by Admiral Schley, and the
court asked him to state whether all
possible measures were taken to cap
uwe or destroy the Spanish fleet as it
lay in Santiago Harbor from May 20
to June |. 1898.
The counsel for Schley objected on
the ground that the reply would in
volve an opinion and not a statement
of facts. Judge Advocate Lemly ad
mitted that the presidents were
against questions of this character and
the court withdrew the interrogatory.
1t is generally admitted this decision
Will have the effect of materially short
ening the term of the court, as will
also the courts manifest intention to
cut out all irrelevant questions and
heresay testimony.
In several cases, witnesses were adj
monished to relate only the events
coming within their own observation.

prompt and methodical presiding Off
Ger. He called the court to order at
the designated hour and adjourned
as promptly at o'clock.

Admiral Higginson, who commanded
the battleship Massachusetts during
the Spanish war: Captain G. NJ. Ches
ter who was commander Of the cruiser
Major Thomas N Wood,
of the marine corps, who commanded
the marines on the Massachusetts, and
