Ibid you have a conversation with
him on the same day at the same place
and at the same hour or at any other
place in which you used substantially
the following language: I shot the
bow off the Pluton, the stern off the

"To the best of my knowledge and be-
lief never used such language"
"Were not the commanding officers
called on board the flagship Brooklyn
by signal on the morning of May 29
after the Colon was discovered"
"They were. "
''Do you recollect what took place at
the conference of the commanding Off
GERS at that timer
Commodore Schley was In the cabin
of the Brooklyn when we assembled
and there was a general talk about the
Spanish feet having been located at
last at Santiago. | do not rscollect any
special conference. do not think it
was in the nature of a conference. do
not recollect now that the officers were
asked to express any opinion"
Il remember having a conversation
with Commodore SChley about the effect
of the fighting batteries on the ships, in
which l told him of the experience we
had had at San Juan, and expressed the
opinion to him that IL was not worth
while 70 risk ships fighting shore bate
rles alone; that DID not think anything
would be gained by iC. In the case un-
der consideration the Spanish ships
were present in the harbor. The condi-
tlons were changed and we would have
to take the risk of the fire from the bat
Uer1es IN order to get at them. l re-
member Commodore Schley remarking
before we left that he felt that the coun.
try held him responsible; that Bhe ships
should not risk the fire from the shore
batteries until the Spanish fleet was de-
strOyed."
II want to call your attention to the
report that Captain McCalla of the Mar
bIehead, on page 426 of the appendix,
which says:
Commodore Schley explained to the
commanding officers that in case the
Spanish ships came out he wished to
concentrate the batteries of all our ships
on portion of those of the enemy.
This was not explained as tactical con-
centration of our whole force on a part
of the enemy, but as a division of our
whole fire on several of the enemy's
ships During the time the command
ing officers were aboard the flagship
Captain Evans asked Commodore Schley
if it were the intention to steam at the
enemy's ships in case they should start
to come out. Commodore Schley an.
swered: Certainly, and added words
indicative of his intention to attack
them as they came out of the narrow de.
file ;"
Il recollect it perfectly"
us that correct statement"
THAT is correct"
$50 there was plan of battle ar
ranged by Commodore Sohley, was there
not?'
"There is nothing there to indicate it
from what you have read"
Witness was examined further upon
certain points and court then adjourned
for luncheon.
