EVIDENCE or CONSPIRACY.
a Specimen Of the Testimony in tho
gohley Case

Tho most remarkable testimony yet
given boforo tho Sohloy court Of inquiry
is that Of Lioutenant Commander L. p.
Hoilner, who was navigating offioor Of
tho Texas in tho battle Of Santiago.
Describing to the court tho alleged
danger in which tho Texas was placed
by tho Brooklyn's celebrated ''loop."
Heilner affirmed that the distance
botwoon the two ships was only 100
yards, yet when he was givon tho Of.
doisl chart drawn up by Hoilneg him.
solf apd signed by him and other naval
officials including Secretary Long it was
shown that tho nearost tho Brooklyn
oamo to the Texas was half milo.
Hoilner promptly extriosted himeolf by
declaring tho chart inaccurate and this
rofutation of tho off ,ial document was
approved by Judge Advoos.e Lemly.
This is very strange, for the chart in
question purports to have been prepar.
cd by sovcn naval officers, the navigat-
ing officers of tho participating vessels,
endorsed by the secretary Of tho navy
as oorroot and submitted to the sonate
committee in substantiation of tho
charges against Schloy. Tho seorotary's 6
