The Afternoon Session.

His appearance created a slight stir of
interest.
Commander Schroeder was questioned
as to the details of the entire campaign.
He knew, he said, of no efforts to COM
muEicate with the shore while the fly
ing squadron" lay of Cienfuegos.
The witness stated in response to ques-
tions by Judge Advocate Lemley that
the squadron remained out about six
or seven miles, maintaining this dis
tance during the day, and keeping un-
der way, countermarching eastward and
westward at night At one point they
were nearer shore than at another, the
ships describing an elongated elipse in
their manoeuvrcs The average dis
tance out. however, was about the same
at night as during the day.
BOMBARDMENT OF THE COLON.
Referring to the bonbardment of the
Colon, May 31st, Commander Schroeder
said he did not observe that there was
any firing from the Spanish shore bat
teries.
He testified that he was with Captain
Higginson when he went to meet Com
modore Schley as the latter came aboard
the Massachusetts and that the Commo-
dore had remarked to Captain Higginson
upon boarding the ship: II am going
to take you and the Iowa in this morn
ing to pot the Colon" The lombard
ment had he said, begun about 2 o'clock
and had continued for only about half an
hour. He said that the instructions had
been to put the range at 1900 yards and
told of seeing the first shot fall. He

sages across the Colon.
What was the effect of the lombard
ment?" asked Captain Lemley.
There was no effect of it so far as
oculd see," the witness replied.
Captain Lemley asked for statemen;
of wnat was left undone on that date
Tor the destruction of the Colon. "One
thing" Commander Schroeder replied
that might have been doue and which
was left uhdone was to have gone tC
closer range. Furthermore, we might
have passed the mouth OF the harboI
more slowly so as to have given time tc
correct the range.
Was there anything to prevent 60
ing in nearer?"
Nothing"
Asked to state in more detail any con-
versation on the part of Commodore
Schlcy during the engagement, the wit
ness said at the end OF the run to the
eastward he had gone to the coming
tower and found Commodore Schley
talking with Captain Higginson. The
Captain had then directed him to port
helm and he Commodore Schroeder
had suggested that in case this order

did not, ir the course of that coaling,
the collier spring leak because OF a
collision with the Texas?"
"You could not call it springing a
leak. The plates were indented and in
the Texas a very little water came seep-
ing through

enough to cause these vessels to col

"The inference sir, is quite wrong.
That was due to a float which we put
in between the vessels and did not no.
tice that 1t was just abaft the armor
belt. The float consisted of square tim
bers.''
THAT would have been worse in a
worse sea; and it was bad enough in that
sea?''
Experience told it was not necessary
to use that sort of thing"
BY the court: What was the state
of the sea when the Texas coaled on May
9th as compared with the state in the
26th?"
.The weather was smoother somewhat

This concluded Captain Harber's testi-
mopy and he was excused.
HIGGINSON is RECALLED.
Admiral Higginson then was recalled
and questioned especially concerning his
statement of yesterday that the fleet
was only two or three miles out from
Santiago harbor. He modified his state
ment by saying that during the first
portion of the blockade the fleet stood
out farther, probably five miles by day
and four miles by night. He confessed
however, that after three years his
memory was indstinct.
In reply to question by Captain
Parker, the witness said that with 500
tons of coal aboard the Massachusetts

which the blockade was maintained at
night could you have seen any vessel
attempting to leave Santiago under ord-
nary conditions of weather.
Admiral Higginson: Il think it would
have been difficult on account of the
high land and the shadows under the
land"
Admiral Higginson was then excused
and the court at l o'clock took recess for
luncheon.
