Yves, have very clear recollection
OF that. The number 10000 was much
easier and simpler 60 send than $500,
and so ! sent Il as 10000, believing
that an excess OF 500 tons would do no
harm. In the same way. II twenty-five
tons appeared in the translation OF
my cipher. In place OF tyenty-seyen, 4

ANOTHER DIFFERENCE SHOWN.
II believe also there is difference
about the Harvard being ordered
In the original TO Port Royal instead OF

station a mile or two below Kingston,
and in all probability the code book con.

not that OF Port Royal.

PILOT NUNEz.
Mr.. Btale was the last OF the govern
ment witnesses, and at 1880 Edwardo
Nune2, the Cuban pilot, was called as
the first Of Admiral Schley's witnesses.
An Interpreter was introduced as
Nunez cannot speak English He said
he had been a pilot for twenty-one
years in all the southern Cuban ports,
The Interpreter used the word guide
In interpreting his statement as above,
and Admiral Dewey corrected him say
ing the word should be pilot
Nunez said he first met Commodore
Schley Oh May 26, having been ta-
ken to him by the St Paul. The
commodore he said asked him II he
knew OF the presence of the Spanish
fleet at Santiago. He replied that he
doubted It, as he did not think the
water was deep enough for vessels OF
such size.
on June he had gone on the
Vixen TO the Cuban coast with a
message for Gen Callxto Garcia,
which he had delivered 20 Col Cebere-
co. Commodore Schley had sent him on
this mission, and he had been told
then by Cebereco that the Spanish fleet
was in the harbor. This information,
Nunez said he had carried to Admiral
Sampson. under the direction of Com
modore Sohley.
Capt Parker then read copy OF the
letter which the pilot said he had car
ried from Commodore Schley to the
Cubans. in which he suggested code
of signals similar TO the code arranged
by Capt. McCalla at Cienfuegos.
on cross examination the witness
said that Cebereco had given him the
names OF the Spanish vessels Inside
the harbor. He gave the names OF
those vessels, saying that they were
given TO him at that time by Cebereco.
The witness also said that prior 20
going ashore June ] he had not seen
the Colon. He had not seen that yes
sci, indeed. until June 3. He said
that his reason for thinking the vessels
could not get into Santiago was that
such large vessels as those OF the
Spanish fleet had never before been
seen there; he thought the harbor both
too narrow and too shallow. He had
expressed the opinion that unless they
had double machinery twln-screws)
they could not get in without the as
sistance OF tugs. Nunez was then ex-
cused, and the judge advocate was
about to call Commander Mason, when
Admiral Dewey suggested that as
was then ten minutes to the court
should adjourn Accordingly the court
N i,urnad until II o'clock tomorrow.
