ADMIRAL'S
ENEMIES
SQUARELY
BEATEN.
HeHas not introduced
a Witness but Belief
is General he Has
Been INDICATED.

WAsHlsoroN, u. c., Oct. l0--The
Schley court of inquiry opened with
Lieutenant leipser on the stand.
The testimony was mostly concerning
the blockade OF Santiago when he said
the vessels were six and eight miles of
the mouth of the horbor in the day time
and further out at night.
Captain Cook. OF the Brooklyn, Sch
ley strongest witness was in court to-
day but will not testify until the latter
begins the presentation OF his side.
WASHINGTON, Oct. I0-Men who have
been present at every sitting OF the
Srhley court of inquiry are Of
the opinion that Admiral Sch.
ey has won the case without put
ting in one word OF evidence, and they
believe that the Navy Department case
against him, which is still being un-
folded by the witnesses called by the
Navy Department is growing weaker in
essential points with every witness that
the department calls to tho stand.
He is practically victorious already
without going upon the witness stand
himself or calling one witness in his
own behalf.
Navy officials say they have pretty
nearly completed calling their import
ant witnesses. They do not known how
much longer they will require to put
their case in, but they admit that their
heavy guns against Schley have been
fired, Close examination of the testi.
mony presented this week shows that
Schiey opponents have not made one
point against him upon the essentials
and made it stick. They have succeed
ed in calling witnesses to the stand who
have said that schley came near run
ming down the Texas when he made his
loop with the Brooklyn, and then their
other witnesses have come along and
sworn that in their opinion the Spanish
fleet would have got away had not Sch
ley made this turn. All through the
hearing the matters OF coaling the ships
at sea and the retrograde movement
from Santiago, the Navy Departments
own witnesses are divided as to whether
Schley g conduct was proper under the
circumstances, Upon no single point
have the witnesses called to the stand
agreed upon any one point against
SchIey. Experts, disinterested naval
men and lawyers, who have heard the
Navy Department present its case, say
that il nothing more important and
convincing against Schley is to come out
before the department rests that the
court of inquiry will be compelled, il
Schley made no defense, to decide the
case wholly in his favor. The Schley
attorneys and friends all declare that
he can controvert every allegation made
against him by individual officers
SehIey feels the most perfect confidence
IN the outcome Of the case. 1t is i'm
possible to ascertain exactly what feel
inRa the members of the court entertain
toward the case as presented thus
lar. At the owtset it seemed to
some expert observers that schley was
not in the house OF his friends. but thi'
feelingDih the popular mind, at least
haschanged greatly In the last week.
