SCHLEY COURT MEETS
Sessions Opened at the Washington
Navy Yard Today.
HOWIS0N'S COMPETENCY CHALLENGED
Reporter Tells of His Conversa-
ton With the Rear Admiral.
INFORMAL ADJOURNM MENT

The old navy yard, which for over CEN
tury has been doing work for the United
States navy, on the north bank of the Ana
costa river, was never before the scene Of
such an interesting proceeding as was be-
gun there today, upon the assembling Of the
Schley court of inquiry. The navy yard it
self is in many respects a fitting place for
such scenes as will be enacted there during
the coming month or two. Established in
small way at the close of the eighteenth
century, it has been the scene Of the success
and vicissitudes of the navy ever since. 1t
had grown to such proportions in 1872 that
it was of very material benefit in the build
ing and maintenance Of the navy, and in
that it was very largely destroyed,
partly by the British and partly by the
navy itself in order to prevent the enemy
from making use of its stores. 1t was
ship-building yard, then yard for all
classes of work for the benefit of the navy
and finally a gun factory which has turned
out the splendid mechanisms that sank two
Spanish fleets during the late war
Today ii was the scene of an inquiry, ap-
piled for by Rear Admiral Schley, to deter
mine certain disputed questions regarding
the sea battle off Santiago, that destroyed
a whole fleet, and which, together with the
splendid victory won by Admiral Dewey.
has made the United States world power
in the broadeSt sense of that term.
The inquiry was held in the second story
of the gunners workshop, the first floor of
which was filled with stores for the navy,
between great stacks of which visitors
and others walked in order to reach the
court room. Evidence of interest in the
proceedings was shown long before the
time for the court to assemble.

He Expresses Himself Well Satisfied
Win the President's Condition.

Secretary Hay reached Washington from
Buffalo this morning. and went almost d.
rectly to the State Department He was
clcseted for an hour with Assistant Secre-
tary Adee, who explained to him in detail
the status of such matters of state as had
not already been fully treated in corre-
spondence between the Secretary and his
department. There were very few of these
and they were of minor Importance for
ever since the Secretary left Washington he
has been in close touch with the depart
ment and having been acquainted by Mr.
Adee daily with the varying phases of the
departments business, was able to indicate
from time TO time the lines of policy which
have been followed up in the treatment OF
these subjects.
The Secretary expressed himself as well
satisfied with the Presidents condition
when he eft Buffalo. else, he said he
should not have felt warranted in leaving
that city for Washington as he had done.
The morning bulletin, which reached him
directly from Secretary Cortelyou, added
TO the satisfaction Secretary Hay felt at
the Presidents progress toward recovery.
lie does not expect to return to Buffalo,
but VIII probably pay brief visit to his
New Hampshire home before settling down
for the winters work here There was
nothing of an urgent character In the con-
ditions in South and Central America that
brought the Secretary to Washington, but
rather he sought to profit by an opportu-
nifty that presented itself for personal
and general survey of the state of public
business here.

marked 1 o'clock, and as the first gun of an
admiral's salute burst upon the ears of the
assembiage, Admirals Dewey, Benham and
Howison emerged from their private room
and entered the court.
Admiral Dewey's Chinese boy, dressed in
a blue suit and wearing a large medal Of
honor, took up his place in the doorway
back of the admirafs chair. He listened to
all that was said, keeping his eye on every
movement of the admiral. On the slightest
motion of that official he was at his side
and in executing assignment he would
retire with alacrity with the peculiar swing
ing trot of the Chinese.
An Impressive Scene.
The scene within the court room at the
moment the court convened was one Of
impressive dignity. The distinguished par
ticipants had laid aside their civilian dress,
and appeared in the brilliant full uniforms
of the naval service The confusion that
had prevailed through the great hall SUBJ
sided to an awelike hush. and the uniform
ed guard of marines hurried strangers into
their seats.
Boom, BOOM" came from q great sun
just outside the building.
1t was both a salute and a signal that

the court had opened. The first crash Of
the gun startled the spectators. Then they
waited as the seventeen guns, the number
given in honor of the admiral of the e'nayy
had been fired, when every ear was strained
for the first word of the proceedings.
At the instant that the firing began Ad-
miral Dewey and his two associates had
entered through the rear doors and taken
seats at the spacious table. 1t was a strik-
ing picture, with Admiral Dewey in the
middle, Rear Admiral Benham on the right
and Rear Admiral Howison on the left.
They were in full uniform The four-star-
red collar of Admiral Dewey indicated his
supreme rank in the navy. His sword
hung at his left side. but it was his service
sword and not that presented by Congress
in remembrance of Manila bay
Admiral Schley seated himself at the
table provided for him and his counsel
He, too, was in full uniform. his epaulettes
showing the two stars and anchor of his
high rank. His back was to the spectators
and, with his counsel, he faced the mem
bers of the court. Just across from the
officers sat Judge Advocate Lemly, the law
officer Of the navy and of the court. with
Solicitor Hanna of the Navy Department
at his side. Outside of the rail, in the sea
of heads, could be seen many well known
In the naval and government service as
well as many ladies, including the wives of
those taking a prominent part in the pro-
ceedings.
Press AccOmm odations.
In the court room sixty-one seats and
writing tables had been placed for the ac-
eommodation Of newspaper writer's, and 1t
was supposed this number would be ample
TO meet the necessities of the press But Il
was found that even this number could not
supply urgent demands, and twenty addi-
tional places were made at the tables al
ready provided for the correspondents
At this time there were In places reserved
for them at least seventy-five newspaper
correspondents, and the additional audience
numbered aboNt 300 persons, all OF whom
had been admitted by card. Admiral Dewey
took his place at the table facing the as
semblage.

least half of those whose general interest
in the proceedings brought them to the
navy yard were ladies.
Viewing the Arrangements.
While the visitors were arriving those
whose business it was to see that all ar
rangements were made to prevent the least
hitch in the proceedings were busy, Capt
Boyer of the navy inspected the court
room to see that everything was in readi-
ness. Telegraph operators were at their
places in the office set aside for their ac-
commodation in the rear of the court room,
and the clicking of the telegraph 1nstru-
ments was as lively as If the main office of
one of the companies had been located there.
Public ng-distance telephones were in
readiness for those who might want to Use
them. Newspaper correspondents began
arriving and took the places reserved Tor
them just outside the inclosure devoted es-
pecially to the uses of the court.
There was evidence of every possible COM
fort in the arrangements of the court room
and adjoining apartments. Three big cleo
trio fans sent breeze downward on the
heads Of the assemblage two of them being
directly over the space reserved for the
court and attendant officers. Around the
walls were additional electric fans stirring
the breeZeS.
The Cleaners at Work.
The early arrivals found the tool shop, In
which the court is to sit, in some confu-
sion. The building is new, and while the
laborers had completed their preparations
for the court, the cleaners were engaged in
their work up to almost the hour for the
arrival of the court. The man with the
dust broom and cleaning cloth had scarce
ly disappeared when Admiral Dewey and
his fellow members of the court arrived.
The building itself is a large, oblong Strnc-
ture, and looks more like the workshop
which it is intended to be than court
house.
Indeed, while 1t is commodious and clean,
and new, it created the impression OF an
impromptu court house in frontier com
munity. With the exception of two large
flags and a huge golden eagle on the lead
coored wall back of the court the walls
of the court hall were entirely free from
decoration and the floors We're innocent of
carpeting; not even were the large Win
dows shaded The seats, except those in
side the railing, were camp chairs. The ele-
vator and the electric fans piled noisily,
and there was a smell of fresh paint on
every hand
The Court Arrives.
The military ceremony with which the
navy yard officials had prepared to receive
the members of the court was somewhat
disarranged. Naval officers are not recog-
nized as such unless attired in the uniform
of their rank, and each member of the
court arrived separately and in citizens
clothes.
A guard Of marines had been drawn up
at the navy yard gate, and the officer on
guard kept lookout for the arrival of
