tions which were aimed at the facts.
the whole facts and nothing but the
facts. as it were. Here are the most
interesting of them:
What general orders were issued by
Commodore Schley regarding the
blockade of CieufuegOs:" Il cannot
recall that there was any written or
der. think it was (of course I I'M
derstOod. being i'm command Of his
fiagshipD understood in consultation
with the captains in a general way"
WAS any effort made by boats OF
the flying squadron to find a landing
place near CienfuegOs prior to the ar
rival of lac Marblehead?" None that
i know Of"
Did any conversation take place be-
tween you and Commodore Schley in
regard to obtaining information from
Commander McCalla when the Mar
blehead passed the Brooklyn while the
last-named vessel was en- route to
CienfuegOs:'' None that I can re-
call"
What reason did Commodore Schley
give you for his belief that Cervera's
squadron was in Cienfuegos?'' Both
he and COMMANDMENT chef Sampson
believed Cienfuegos was the objective
point. . On Saturday night be
had heard, or some officers had report
ed TO him. what sounded like n salute
I'm the afternoon. I never have known
what that was. Certainly something
of the kind occurred. and he said ii
sounded as III they were having some
kind of jubilee. When we arrived at
Cienfuegos there were the signal lights
that misled us all. He thought they
had something to do with the Spanish
squadron either coming or being there.
And. again, the arrival Of the Adula
and her strange action. ] believed at
that time they were there. and I
thought this was a ruSe to get some
communication to them. That is all l
can recollect."
