rs. He argued that there was
nothing positive in the depart
ment's information; that it was
not until the order of May q
wv ich did not reach Com modore
Schley until June 10) vas sent
that there was anything abso.
lutely positive The question
to him as to whether he could

Gonaives. could not be con.
strued as direction to go there
to coal IN other words. the
dispatch was not a mandatory
order. Besides, every com
mander at the front bad certain
discretion even in carrying out
mandatory orders.
Mr.. Rayner told in graphic
language how Nelson had dis
obeyed orders at Copenhagen
and had won i'm mortal fame. If
Com modore Schley had dis.
honestly disobeyed orders; if he
had betrayed his country, if he
had disobeyed in bad faith. Mr..
Rayner said it would call for
condemnation. He continued:
"We know now that the
Spanish fleet was in Santiago on
the 10Th of May, but on that date
the whole world was dou btful
on that subject. | stand by the
testimony of the Cuban pilot, by
the incident of the hdula, by the
undoubted conversation with
/ Captain Sigsb and by the re
port as to the chasing capacity
of the ships with the coal on
hand, which exonerates the ad.
mtral from the slightest crit
clsm or censure."
Mr.. Rayner then took up the
consideration of specification 4,
covering 1.-The circum stances at.
tending the arrival of the flying
squadron off Ltiago; the rea.
sons for it's turn west ward and
departure from off Santiago, and
the propriety thereof"
Mr.. Rayner referred to the
meeting of Commodore Schley
with Captain Sigsb bee of the st.
Paul upon the arrival of the
flying squadron off Santiago.
Speaking of the captain. he said
"a more honest witness than
he never took the stand, nor is
! there more gallant and efficient
officer of the navy than he is.
Unfortunately he has gotten
himself into predica ment, be.
cause against him is an over.
whelming array of testimony in
reference to the communications
he held with Commodore Schley
of Santiago and which ahso.
lutely justifies the admiral in
taking the course lie did"
Mr., Rayner said Captain Wise
on the Yale, Captain Sigsbee on
the st. Paul and Captain Jewell
on the Minneapolis, cruised
around Santiago for several
days, and added: They were
there for the purpose of finding
out if the Spanish fleet was in
Santiago, the same purpose that
Com modore Schley was there
for. They did not find out.
Commodore Schley did, They
go scot free and Commodore
Schley is to be condemned"
Mr. Rayner then referred to

testified to delivering on board

Mr. Rayuer said he stood upon

Geived thirty of the fofty.three
shots which struck the Ameri

Mr.. Rayner then discussed
the testimony of Heilner and
Hodgson and in this connection
said the chart prepared by the
navigators of the ships in the
battle for all purposes of histo.
ricsl accuracy" might as well be
a chart OF the battle of Their.
mopyle. or the field Of Waterloo.
AS a disastrous failure the chart
was magnificent success"
Mr. Rayner then took up
specification No. 10, concerning
the Hodgson controversy. He
said he would fall back on Cap.

danger Of collision had never

Even if Commodore Schley

not have been a very serious
matter as it could not have been
meant seriously,
Down in AnnaTundel county,
Maryland" he said "they use
such language in Sanitation,
saying Damn you, how are you
this morning?"
The trouble about all this,
said Mr.. Rayner, rs that a
newspaper has been taken toe
seriously. Never quarrel with

"unless you own one yourself "
MIR. Rayner then took up the
first specitication-A d m /

campaign.

Potts and Mr.. Wood; Mr. Wood
and Mr.. Potts" laughed in the

After reading the testimony
as to the splendid bea ring OF
Admiral Schley he read the
testimony Of Mr.. Potts to the
effect that the admiral appeared

A Number of Ball Tossers Will. Go
To Park City Tomorrow-Visiting
Basket Ball Team In City.

The BAN players of the new Salt
Lake club are going to be we'll cared
for, according to one of the directors.
It seems to be the general plan of this
organization to not only elevate the
quality of the game served to the local
public the coming summer, but to also
make the environments of the play
ers as pleasant as possible, so there
will be no excuse for patronizing the
street corners. To this end handsome
club rooms viii be fitted up in rooms
already engaged in the Atlas block.
1t is proposed TO have all the leading
papers and magazines on file, together
with a number of instructive books by
good authors Card tables, easy chairs
and writing paper with the clubs mon
ogram will be on hand. In fact, all
the comforts OF a club will be furnished
the players. 1t is also proposed ts fit
up the rooms with lockers, so the
players can have a place to don their
uniforms before going to the ball
grounds
The work of. fitting up the rooms
will probably be commenced at once,
so the players can have the benefit Of
such a place as soon as they become
members Of the team.
