because the graduatiOns are so close to-
gether small error in observation makes
a large error in the result
1T is inaccurate under 1900 yards?"
1t IS more accurate under 1900 yards,
but If the instrument has not been cor
rected recently il is likely to err"
Mr.. Rayner-Is IL possible for the stadi-
meter tc have made a mistake of
yardS! Don [ you mink IN mat is the case
you had better abolish that instrument
Il do not believe Mr.. Hodgson took an
accurate observation. L don't want 10 make
the statement Of what L know in regard TO
the instrument. The instrument, as l use
il. is accurate at lower ranges and Is ac-
curate at higher ranges"
Mr.. Rayner then questioned the witness
as TO the stay of the flying squadron at
Cienfuegos. The latter said he had not
considered that they maintained blockade
there we were merely lying of the port
he said, and at night anything could have
passed In so far as we were concerned,
without being seen" He admitted that the
Dupont and the Castine had been Kept IN
side the line at night. but that he had not
been able 10 see them.
Mr. Rayner then undertook to compare
the estimate of the distances which Com
m0dOre Schley's fleet went TO the east and
west of Santiago harbor with that OF capt
FoIger. Mr.. Hanna suggested that the
practice of quoting from the testimony OF
former witnesses. while not Objectionable
from a legal point of view, was calculated
to produce delay, and was therefore not
desirable.
Admiral Dewey. speaking for the court
SAID that as there were no legal obstacles
in the way of putting the question it could
be asked.
Lieutenant Bristol said in response: Il
do not agree with Captain FOlger as re-
CARDS the facts that the ships were nearer
i'm at night than they We're in the daytime,
because 1t is my first recollection now that
they were farther out at night than they
were in the daytime; also / read from the
log when testified that the average revo-
| lutlOns OF the Texas by the watch were a
certain number. The revolutions according
to that give the ship a certain speed which
would be greater than the distance given
by Captain FOlger, because we also stated
in that log we steamed for two hours and
turned first TO the east and then 10 the
west"
The witness had not concluded his testi-
mony when the court, at p. m, adjourned
