Testimony.
Rayner also interrOgated the witness
concerning statements made before the

said that on the occasion of his official
visit on board the Brooklyn when she
lay off CfenfuegOs he had told Commo-
dore Schley that Admiral Sampson
considered his information of the pres
6nce of the Spanish fleet at Santiago as
definite
The admiraPs answer was: NO;
nor do understand how he could have
communicated such information, in
view of the doubt which Captain Chad
wick said existed in the admiral's mind
after he had received the information
from Lieutenant Staunton on the 26th.
that the admiral felt sure that the fleet
was there. As he was the bearer OF
dispatches to me- / do not see why the
admiral could have expressed to him
one thing when Captain Chadwick
seems to have felt that the admiral
thought Oppositely.'
The tenor of this called forth an oh
lection from Judge Advocate Lemly.

ought to answer with an argument.

casion that Cervera had been authOTi-
tatively reported as having entered
Santiago on May 10. and was believed
to be still there when he McCallal had
left Key West on the 21St.
Responding 10 this question Admiral
Schley saiG: Il have no recollection
at all about that | do not recall any
conversation on that first occasion with
Captain McCalla except in regard to
the insurgents and the system of sig
mails which he had arranged and the
orders which were given TO him to pro
