The military government" he con-

considering it necessary. 1t is also de-
sirable to associate in the work OF
forming the republic the colOred race,
which is an essential factor in our so

our political personality. We must

Submitted in Con-
C1uSion.

Washington. Nov. lit was agreed
by counsel in the Schley court today
that Hanna would make the opening
argument for the department in
closing the case followed by Parker
and Rayner for Schley. Lemley clos
ing for the department. Court adj
journed until Monday shortly after
noon. But two witnesses were eN-
amined. Lemley announced that he
has but one witness to examine.
Rayner said he had no more except
possibly Schley.
Washington. Nov. LIN the Schley
court OF inquiry Il number of witnesses
were introduced 10y Judge Advocate
Lemly to testify in rebuttal Of the ev-
idencc given in Admiral Schley'> be
half. The court decided carly in the
day that no witnesses could he intro
duced ut this stage OF the proceeding
- give testimony OH immatcrial points.
This announcement WAS mad" in con
ncctiOn with an effort to prove Il con
VcrsatiOn on board the Massachusetts,
in which Lieutenant SeIrS. who was
Admiral Schley's flag lieutenant. was
reported to have said: For Gods
sake. don't discourage him meaning
Commodore Schleyl; il is all we nave
been able to do TO work him up TO
this." 1t had the effect OF relieving
Lieutenant Grant. Lieutenant Com
mander Potts and other officers OF the
Massachusetts who had been called to
testify concerning this conversation
with Sears. which iS said to have oc-
CURED on the Massachusetts just be
fore the reconnaissance of May 81.
Not Bound strictly to Rule.
On the other hand the court held
that il was not bound by the ordinary
proceeding in civil issues as to the
time when testimony can be taken.
and that witnesses might be csIilPd or
recalled any time for the purpose OF
making additions to former state
ments, but that none OF them could re-
iterate testimony previously given.
The court first heard Capt. 4. s. Bor-
den, of the Marine corps. who served
ON the Brooklyn. in Admiral Schleys
behalf. lie was the last OF the udmi-
rails witnesses. and he testified that
the admiral had borne himself honor
ably during the battle Of July >. lie
also testified that the lowest range
was LOO yards.
More Testimony to- Range.
Then Captain Parker. of Schlcy's
counsel. offered the following extract
from report Of the Santiago fight
written by Schley OH June Is. 1900.
and it was admitted: In my Judgment.
