WASHINGTON, d. G.. October Is
Just before the Schiey court of in
quiry adjourned to-day, Attorney Ray
ner. counsel for Admiral Sehley. IN
formed the court that he hoped to be
able to conclude the presentation OF
testimony for the applicant by the close
of next week. He added that he thus
far had not had opportunity to consult
witnesses who are still to be heard. He
therefore asked that an adjournment
be taken from to-day until Monday.
| Speaking for the court, Admiral Dewey
said he was most happy to grant the
request. Accordingly the court adj
journed until IL O'Clock Monday.
The list of witnesses examined to-
| day included eight names. but the IN
terrogation OF the last OF the witnesses
called had not been concluded when the
day came to close. This last witness
| was Lieut. b. w. Wells, Jr.. who served
during the wa. with spain as Admiral
Schley's flag lieutenant. or private sec
rotary. The other seven persons heard
during the day were in the order in
Commander Reginald L. Nicholson,
who was navigator of the Oregon; Med
| zeal Director Charles Nj. Devatin, a
| surgeon; Captain J. l.. Slannum, re-
tired, engineer; Lieutenant Thomas +.
Carter, Ensign w. p. Cronan. Carpen-
ter j. H. Warford, all of whom served
| on the Brooklyn, and ]. l.. Haney, who
| was chief machinist on board the

Lieut.. Commander Nicholson told
/ the story of the battle of July Sd as
| he saw it from the deck of the Oregon.
| He said the movements of the Oregon
| bad not been controlled by signals
| from the Brooklyn, and he expressed
| the opinion that the Oregon was nearer
| the Colon than the Brooklyn was. Mr..
Hanley said that the port engines of
the Texas had not been stopped during
tho battle of July Sd.
| From the line of the examination re-
| Iating to the fight of July Sd. already
pursued. il is evident that IL is the in
| tention of Mr.. Rayner to have Lieut..
Wells give complete history OF ADJ
miral Schley's actions during the Span
sh war When the court adjourned he
had reach ed the period of the battle OF
July Sd, having gone quite minutely
into other incidents of the campaign
up to that time. including the receipts
OF dispatches from Admiral Sampson.
It is expected that Captain Clark. or
the Oregon. will be among the wit
nesses to be heard early next week.
