Capt. Lenfly, judge advocate general of

OF compiling list of witnesses to be

II is expected the list will be ready for
submission to Schley early next week.
Washington, Aug. pa discovery
tfat may prove of great Importance was
made at the war department yesterday.
Captain Parker, of Admiral Schley's
counsel, while searching for the oripi-
nais OF certain dispatches, especially for
the purpose of ascertaining whether the
records were complete in showing that
Admiral Sampson had been promptly in
formed of the presence of Cervera's fleet
in the harbor of Santiago, discovered
that practically all the records of the
signal corps during the Spanish war are
missing from the files.
General Greedy, chief of the corps, is
now in the Philippines and will not re-
turn for several months, unless sum-
moned to appear before the Schley court
of inquiry as witness. 1t may be that
he has Intentionally hidden the dis
patches for the purpose of preventing
outsiders from learning the secret
sources of information used during the
war. In his absence none of his assist
ants can give any clew to the missing
documents, which have disappeared
completely. So far as the Importance OF
the documents are concerned in connec-
ton with the Schley case copies have
been published in the reports of the war
department, and the writers of the dis
patches can be summoned as witnesses
to testify directly as to whether the
copies are genuine.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Hackett
held conference with Admiral Schley's
counsel yesterday, sending TOR them 70
call upon him at the department. 1t is
impossible to ascertain officially the sub
stance of the conference. but it is sup
posed that he had some proposition to
make concerning the com etency of Adj
miral Howison to sit upon the court
Judge Jere Wilson, who is acting as Adj
miral Schley's chief counsel, has left for
Boston. and 1t is understood to be a part
of his mission to determine definitely
whether the alleged Howison interview
was genuine. The reporter who turned
in the story has furnished an affidavit
in which he positively states that Adj
miral Howison did make the statements
he is quoted as uttering.
