Late President.

Washington, Oct. 28.-"In the line of
duty, while receiving the people, was

CLOSELY QUESTIONED.
Judge Advocate LemIy Cross-Ex-
amfnes Admiral SchIey

Washington, Oct. 29.-The cross-exam-
nation of Admiral Schley began Monday
before the court of inquiry, and hardly
more than a third of the ground COW
cred when the court adjourned at four
o'clock. After Admiral Schley concludes
to-day two other witnesses will be called
in his behalf, Admiral Baker and Capt.
Thomas Borden. The latter was an Off
Ger of the marine corps aboard the Brook
lyn. The judge advocate then will call
his witnesses in rebuttal, of whom there
are understood to be more than Is, and it
is probable that Admiral Schley's counsel
will call witnesses in sur-rebuttal.
Nothing sensational developed Monday
and the only outburst in the court occurred
when Mr.. Rayner, Admiral Schley's coun-
sci, objected to line of inquiry of the
judge advocate designed to criticise Ad
miral Schley's alleged failure to formulate
a plan of battle, with the declaration that
as Admiral Sampson was in command his
junior had no right to plan an order of
battle.
Admiral Schley concluded his direct ex-
animation, which continued only about ten
minutes after the court convened Monday
morning, with a statement of the effect of
the fire of the respective fleets at Santiago,
showing that sc per cent. of the hits suf-
fered by the enemy were scored by the
Brooklyn's five-inch guns, while his ship
received 20 per cent. of the hits from the
Spanish ships.
Capt. Lemly's cross-examination was
very searching. Admiral Schley, however,
appeared to be unruffled throughout the ex-
animation, frankly admitting on several &C.
casions that he could not remember little
details after the lapse of three years. One
line of inquiry which the judge advocate
tried to press to show that Admiral Schley
did not proceed with dispatch" from Key
West to Cienfuegos by attempting to con-
he "a tOr
and Key West with the time between Key
West and CienfuegoS was curtailed by a
decision of the court, which confined the
questions to the time subsequent to May
10, the day on which the flying squadron
left Key West.
The judge advocate in his cross-exam-
ination dwelt upon the interview between
Admiral Sampson and Commander Schley
at Key West before the departure of the
flying squadron, at which the latter testi-
fled that Admiral Sampson instructed him
not to expose his ships to shore batteries
until the Spanish fleet had been destroyed,
on the fact that Admiral Schey issued no
written order of battle, on the question of
coaling off Cienfuegos and the steps Schley
took there to ascertain the presence of the
Spanish fleet. He was cross-examining the
witness upon matters connected with the
cruise of the squadron from Cienfuegos to
Santiago when the court adjourned. The
retrograde movement, the firing upon the
Colon and the battle of Santiago, which
constitute the main features of the pre-
cept, were not touched upon Monday.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1901-11-02

in chief. He took the stand about II 30
O'Clock, after former witnesses had been
recalled for the purpose of making correc-
lions IL and additions to their testim eny,
and continued his statement until the court
adjourned at $40 p. m. The chief event Of
the day was the admirals relation of the
events of July g. when the American fleet
sent Cervera's squadron to the bottom of
the sea or to the beach. He told his story
of this historical occurrence in plain words
and in unaffected style, but the narrative
was straightforward and to the point, in
dicating close familiarity with all the
phases of the event He said that the
Brooklyn had for a time sustained the fire
of all four of the Spanish ships and also
the fire of the Spanish land batteries. Ex-
planning the historical turn of his own flag
ship, the Brooklyn, he said that she had
not approached TO within less than 600
yards Of the Texas, and that he never had
considered that vessel in the least dam
ger He also stated, in response to an in
terrogation from Mr.. Rayner, that he had
never during the battle engaged in any col
loquy with Lieut.. Hodgson and that he had
not used the expression attributed to him
by Hodgson. This refers to the alleged col
loquy in which the admiral is charged with
having said: Damn the TexasI" Ad-
miral Schley also gave the details of the
reconnaissance of May 81, when the Span
ish ship Cristobal Colon was bombarded
In this connection he denied the statements
attributed to him by Commander Potts, of
the battleship Massachusetts,.
Preceding the adjournment of the court
the question of calling Admiral Sampson II
the stand was revived by Judge Advoca te
Lemly, who reminded Mr.. Rayner that he
(Mr. Rayner) had suggested some time go
that he desired the admiral called. Capt.
Lemly said he was prepared to issue the
summons if called upon to do so, but Mr.
Rayner responded that the incident which
had seemed to demand the admiraIs at
tendance had dwindle0 into comparative
insignificance, and he added that it was
well understood the condition of Admiral
SIMPSONS health was such that he could
not be expected to appear upon the wit
ness stand.
As Admiral Schley left the courtroom he
was given quite an ovation. A large num-
Der of persons had halted outside the court
room door and many insisted on shaking
hands with him. The assemblage escorted
him up the hill from the gunners' work
shop in which the court sits to the outer
gates Of the navy yard.
