aud then. inasmuch as our boat was
| very SLOW l asked him TO advise me
whether he thought we could catch
| Commodore Schley If we followed him
and he stated Yes.
THE second question was Where is
Ceryera?' and in answer TO that Capt
Sigsbee did not speak for a moment
He consulted with somebody on the
bridge of the ship and then answered
! am not sure, but we caught an Eng
fish collier trying to sneak into the
harbor this morning That was all the
conversation | remember 10 have had
with Capt. Sigsbee personally Other
men on the boat had some c0nyersa-
ton with him."
did Capt Sigsbee during any time
of the conversation inform you that the
Spanish squadron was not in Santi-
ago?'
He did not tell US that the spaniards
were not in there"
On cross-exaInination Mr.. SCoyil said
that he had been at the megaphone a
part of the time, He could not say
whether others on board the press boat
had talked with Capt, Sigsbee.
Then" asked Mr.. Raynor, ARE YOU
prepared TO say on your oath that no
one In your boat asked Capt Sgsbee
whether Cervera was not in the har-
Dor at santlago?"
III Ia possible was the reply, that
conversation might have taken place
on the part OF some one else, but as the
Smith was a small boat and as con-
versation must necessarily be In loua
tone of voice think would have
heard 1t IL there had been any"
Are you then prepared to say that
the testimony of Mr.. Hare In which he
said that Capt. sigsbee had said that
the spanards were not at Santiago Is
false?"
No. am not prepared to say that
his statement Is false, and that no such
conversation took place, but can
swedr that nothing Of the kind was
said while was conducting the CONVEX
sation, and ! conducted the principal
part Of It,"
CAPT. EATON.
Mr.. Ecovll was then excused and a
number of the witnesses OF yesterday
weie called for the purpose OF making
corrections In their testimony. While
Capt. Eaton of the Resolute was on the
stand for this purpose Capt. Lemly
asked him.. which way was the
Brooklyn heading when you saw her
tunnels appear out OF the smoke to the
southwark as you stated yesterday"
The witness replied; About south
west, as saw her nearly broadside on"
iie also said that when he saw the !.
Brooklyn making her turn with COM
paratiye rapidlty" the turn had been
nearly completed.
CAPT. CHADWICK.
Capt. Chadwick, while under recall,
said In response to question from Mr..
Raynor that there had been practical
abrogalion by the navy department OF
the precautionary orders concerning the
bombardment of Spanish shore bat
teries, In order TO permit the bonn
bardment Of San Juan, Porto Rico. He
added that in his opinion there had
been a general abrogation of the order
but Mr.. aaynor objected to the giving
Of opinions.
LENT. HOOD.
Capt Chadwick was then excused
and Lieut. John Hood, who commanded
the Hawk during the Spanish war, was
recalled. He was questioned on the
point made by Admiral Schley In his
testimony that the commanding Off
Ger Of the Dolphin had filed with the |
navy department a memorandum In
which he said, speaking of Hoods re-
turn from his mission to Commodore
Sohley, While the latter lay off Glen
fuegos, Hood says a good many offs |
GERS do not believe the Spaniards are
there lat CienfIegos) at all. but they |
can only surmise."
In reply to question as 10 what re-
port he had made on which such a
memorandum could have been based |
the witness replied
II reported 10 the commanAiro or'- |
Ger Of the Dolphin that conversed |
with number OF officers and that / |
did not believe myself nor did many |
OF the officers believe as far as could |
make out that the Spaniards were |
there, that there was no reason for he |
lieving they were and I thought com
modore schley had convinced himself
thew ware there on very slender
grounds"
