 Washington. Oct 2s.-When the Schley court of inquiry resumed it's s1t- tiug at Il o'clock to-day, Admiral Scbley took the stand. and after being rerl.uGed by Admiral Dewey that he was. stIIl under oath. continued his tes- tipony. When he left the stand on Friday his examination in chief had been almost concluded and when he resumed to-day it was with the under standing that, after comparatively lew qEeStioBs had been asked By Mir Ray ner re would be placed in the hands of Judge Advocate Lemly and MT Han na for cross-eXaminiation. MT Ray ner's questions were again directed to- ward throwing light upon disputed points in the controversy and most or them concerned conversations which various witnesses for the navy depart Inent lad reported as having had with IlIy. admiral Before tile adjournment on Frieay he had asked about the ma Jority of those conversations and the principal ones left for to-day were those which were reported to have taken place between Admiral Schley ana AGmriral (then captain Evans oT. the Iowa, and Commander Sharpe or The Vixen The admirafS version of these interviews differed considerably from that of the other parties to them.

Admiral Schley replied 19 this that he thought they were en- tirely and absolutely mistaken. There was a lot of other testimony given by the admiral that was uninteresting and 1Een he was turned over to Judge -Ad- Nocate Lemly for croSS-eXalninatfoh. He was asked concerning the naval Regulations as to whether he was sfa- Iniliar with them. and the admiral sre piled tEaI he was. Captain Lenfly then read a number of the regula tioIks and in each case asked if he had com plid with them The first was article 2GI. which requires the commander-in- chief when preparing the fleet to meet the enemy to communicate his general orders. private signals and all other ln- formation as will enable each as far as possible tc understand his duty, when in action and at all other times. The admiral answered that he had com pi:pd With those regulations. Article 269 referred to communicating the plans 70 the junior. officers in the squad rnr. and this the admiral said he had not done Article 211 referred to giy- ing each captain the plan of battle, and this he said he had complied with. Captain Lemly wanJed to know if the plan was written, and Attorney Rayner said that the regulations did not re- liTlire the plan to be written. This pro- yckcd an argument E,etween the two anG again did Captafn Lemly show his pre.udiced and quar:elsome disposi- Iien.
