Lieutenant Spencer S. Wood, who com

COS he had been on picket duty two miles

some length by Mi. Bayuor and captain
Lcmly. In closing HIS response me Judge
advocate said "An objection OF this char.
actcr is almost equivalent to Withdrawing
the REQUEST for nm Investigation, lie has
officers In this matter. Let us have II and
do non put technical objections In the way
of having the investigation"
Mr. Raynor responded briefly: 81 ONLY

The court retired to consider the obiec
tlon. remaining out Longer thnn on any
previous occasion. Admiral Dewey read
the court decision dN l'llUnNs
'"rhe court sustains the objection Of coun

The principal witnesses Of the day were
Lieutenant John Hood. who commanded
the dispatch boat Hawk during the Spanish
war, and Captain Bowman IL McChlla,
who was IN command of the Marblchead.
The testimony Of both these officers dealt
with the delivery of dispatches from Adj
miral Sampson To Commodore Schley and
hoth related to conversations with the lat

nort in arranging code of signals with
tbe Cuban insurgents and his communica-
ton with them near Cienfuegos Of May II,
1sgS. when II was learned definitely that
Ceryera's fleet was not in the harbor there.
He said that Captain Chadwick, who was
