court of inquiry held but one session TO-
day. Captain Chadwick concluded his
testimony and Lieutenant Commander
Sidney A. Stauuton. who served on the
New York as assistant to Captain thfo-
wick as chief OF stan for Admiral Samp-
son. and Lieutenant Nathan G. Twining
formerly Of tho Iowa, We're introduced as
new witnesses.
when Captain Chadwick took the stand
Mr.. Raynor formally addressed the court
requesting permission To ask the witness
two questions. which ne outlined. He
called attention to his question put TO
Captain Chadwick yesterday concerning
telegram Of coneratulation which Ad-
miral Sampson had sent to Commodore
Schley on May 2S He had asked the wit
ness if he remembered that message and
the witness had replied that he did re-
member it very well, and adding:
because ! protested against his con-
gratulatiuns.
Mr.. Raynor said that this last express
sion was purely voluntary on Captain
Cbadwick's part and was not necessary
in response to the inquiry. The questions
which he stated to the court We're as fol-
lows:
First-"When did you first learn Of the
existence Of dispatch No. S?'
Second-"Did you then IN protesting
against the sending of this congratulate
~ dispatch, refer to his blockade of Glen
fuegos i'm dispatch No. S?'
Admiral Dewey stated the court had no
objection to the questions. and CAPTAIN
Lemly said he would not object provid-
ing he could CrOSs-eXamine on the points
raised. Mr. RaNnor did not concedc
this ri"ht, but before the point was de
cided Mr. Raynor asked his first QueS-
tiOn as previously given to the court

was only waiting until the evening OF the

operator who sent the Information only
put himself in communication with our

with that information, and then went up
