on the misunderstanding
McCaIla, Hood and
Others.

Washington, Oct 26.-When the
Schley court of inquiry adjourned yes
terday Admiral Schley had not com
pleted his testimony in chief He took
the stand about II 30 o'clock and con-
tinued his statement until the court adj
jOurned at 3:40 p. N. This adjourn

usual time was due to the fact that
the admirals throat had become some.
what sensitive as result of his con-
tinuous talking Thursday and yester-
Cay. He gave a graphic description Of
the Santiago fight, and in the course
thereof stated that the manner in
which the Spanish ships came out Of
the harbor that day made the plan of
battle ineffective and forced the adop-
ton of new tactics on Schley's part.
Rayner Questions His Witness.
After he had concluded his story
Rayner began series Of questions to
the witness intended to develop points
of the controversy which he evidently
felt the admiral had not brought out
sufficiently. He asked Schley about
the order to stand by to ram, and
Schley said he gave the order himself
because he believed the Spanish ships
were going to attempt that maneuver.

Why Ee Turned to Starboard.
Rayner-While talking about this
loop, why didn't the ship turn with
felm hard astarbOard?
simply for the reason that it would
have carried us into dangerous prOXim-
ity to torpedo attackS-a brOadside tor
pedo attack of the enemy's vessels. My
judgment was that at that stage of the
action the Brooklyn ought not to be
sacrificed; that so far as it might affect
the result to individuals | thought that
was a consideration that should be
turned aside for the higher and more
important one-the interests Of the
country she was there to subserve"
AS to "G1ory Enough for AlI''
The admiral said he was unable to
recall conversation with Captain Nc
Gala on July when the latter had
said to Admiral Schley, according to
Captain McCalla's statement on the
witness stand, that there was "glory
enough for ALL Admiral Schley said
he had first seen this sentiment as
formulated accredited to Senator Hale.
Senator Hale" he said, expressed
my feeling at the time, and that feel

could not recollect McCalla's observa-
ton at all.

THE COOKBOOK.

A cup of butter means sixteen table,
spoons. When we measure butter in
cup, we measure it packed solid.
One cup Of sauce means one cup Of
liquid, regardless of the amount Of
thickening and butter that you USE
A novel and dainty way of cooking
little new onions is to boil them and
serve them on toast, similar to aspara
gus.
Stir all sauces with a wooden spoon
until they thicken and begin to leave
the sides of the pan. Add favoring es-
sences after taking the pot from the
fire.
After boiling ham let it cool in the
water in which it was cooked. This
helps to make it more tasty, moist and
tender The same rule applies to tongue
or corned beef.
Sardines broiled in a chatting dish are
nice for Sunday night suppers. Use
just enough of the oil in the box to
cover the bottom of the dish and keep
the fish from sticking. When they are
Drowned on both sides, sprinkle liber-
ally with lemon juice and serve hot.

Rayner reminded Admiral Sch1ey
that he had stated that at the begin

according to the original plan. ''Now,"

"That was the general order of the
commander-in-ch during the time Of
the blockade; but that failed, because
the enemy succeeded really in passing
the battle line replied Admiral Schley.
Rayner then called the attention Of
Admiral Schley to the following dis
patch, dated Key West, Fla, May p,
1898, to the secretary of the navy:
"Schley has been ordered to Santiago
de Cuba" This was signed by Samp-
son. Rayner asked if he had ever been
ordered to Santiago before the dispatch
of May p, which it had been stated he
did not receive until June 10, to which
the admiral replied:
mo; except under the order No. s,
leaving the matter to my discretion
There is nothing. then, between or
Ger No. s and the dispatch I have
given?'
mo: nOInlnS.
Rayner asked a number of questions
concerning interviews with Captains
Cotton and Wise and other officers, in
tended to bring out information to
make perfect the record. He also
called attention to the testimony given
by Lieutenant Wood, who had stated
that Admiral Schley was extremely
nervous when he delivered Admiral
Simpsons dispatch instructing him to
go to Santiago. Rayner dwelt upon
the words Lieutenant Wood had en-
ployed in describing Admiral Schley's
nervousness. Lieutenant Wood had
said the admiral ''got up and sat down,
and occasionally walked around"
