Schley-Sampson.

Witnesses called to rebut Admiral
Schley's evidence helped his case. Ad-
miral Dewey shut out wardroom Cos
sip, which the prose cution sought to
prove by young officers.
Admiral Schley in his testimony de-
scribed in thrilling terms the battle of
Santiago, at which the flower of
SPANS navy was destroyed; said the
alleged colloquy between himself
and Lieutenant-C Commander Hodgson
never took place; explained that the
Texas was never in any danger from
the Brooklyn's loop" and gave his
version of number of disputed mat
ters.
Judge-Advocate Lemiy continued
his cross-examination of Schley. The
main points to which the examination
was directed were the ability of the
ships of the flying squadron to coal
off Cienfuegos, and Admiral Schley' 8
reasons for what is known as his ''ret.
rograde movement" The object of
the prosecution in subjecting Admiral
Schley to SO tedious and searching an
examination is said to be to break
him down, If possible, in the hope mat
he will make admissions which can be
used against him.
