Captain Chadwick concluded his testi-
mOny begun yesterday and Lieutenant
Commander S. A. Staunton who served
on the New York as an assistant to Cap
tain Chadwick as chief of staff for Ad-
miral Sampson, and Lieutenant Nathan
c. Twining, formerly of the Iowa, were
introduced as new witnesses.
Lieutenant Staunton's testimony dealt
with dispatches forwarded by Admiral

outlined q contention in behalf of Admiral
Schley to the effect that the dispatch
written on. on May q was the first positive

Of the Spanish feet in the harbor of Sam
tiago.

nony that while the flying squadron oc-
cupied position Of from three to five
miles out from CienfuegOs during the day,
the distance was increased to from seven
TO nine miles at night. He was in charge
Of the eight-inch guns during the born
bardment Of the Colon on May 81, and he
said that all the shots from the American
feet fell short.
Near the close of the session Judge Ad-
Nocate Lemly and Mr. Raynor became en-
gagged IN controversy over the admssi-
bility at that time of a chart showing the
speed Of the vessels Of the flying squad
ron, and when Mr.. Raynor made a state
mont concerning the matter to be intro
duced the judge advocate took exception
10 its introduction, saying Mr. Raynor' s
summary might be Inaccurate as other
statements made by him, referring espe-
cially to the contents of documents, had
been.
Mr. RaynOr resented the expression and
replied to the effect that il uttered out
side of the courtroom he would say that
il was false.
Before court adjourned both Mr.. Ray
nor and Captain Lemly made statements
concerning the incident to the court and
Admiral Dewey expressed the opinion
that Captain Lemly's explanation should
be satisfactory to Mr.. Raynor.

Raynor Makes Objection.

After Mr.. Raynor had formally asked his
second question Captain Chadwick offered
written reply but Mr.. Raynor objected, say
ing:
he answers. 1t might be something very OBJ
jectionable. Suppose he did protest? How does
that affect the case? What we wanted is the
congratulatory dispatch. Now, he brings in
something entirely different. If the witness in
answer to my second question says Yes or
No 1 won't object, but if he says anything
else 1 would like to have the opportunity Of
seeing what he has written"
Captain Chadwick then tore up his written
reply and arsv cred verbally:
Il had il poi TALLY in mind
On redirect examination Mr.. Hanna brought
out the Information that the telegram of con-
gratulation to Commodore Schley had been
based partially upon the capture of collier
with coal for the Spanish fleet, which capture
was made by Captain Sigsbee.
Captain Chadwick also said that he had
drafted Admiral SIMPSONS second dispatch of
May q, the one sent from Havana. and while
the dispatch from Key West, designated No
s. was sent at o'clock, the second sent
between and O'Clock.
Captain Chadwick was then excused and Lieu
tenant Commander Sidney A. Staunton was
called. Before the witness took his seat Judge
Advocate Lemly asked and received permission

Raynor formally addressed the court, request
ing permission to ask the witness two ques-
tions, which he outlined. He called attention
to his question put to Captain Chadwick yes
terday concerning a telegram of congra atula-
tion which Admiral Sampson had sent to Com
modore Schley on May Is. He had asked the
witness if he remembered that message and
the witness had replied that he did remember
1t very well, adding: Because 1 protested
against his congratulations
Mr.. Raynor said that this last expression
was purely voluntary Captain Chadwick
part and was not necessary in response to the
inquiry. The questions which he stated to the
court were follows:
First, when did you first learn of the
istence Of dispatch No. s?
Second. did you then in protesting against

Admiral Dewey stated the court had no OBJ
lection to the questions and Captain Lemly
said he would not object providing he could
cross examine the points raised Mr.. Ray
did not concede this request but before the
point was decided Mr.. Raynor asked his first
After reading the dispatch in question the
witness said:

The manufacture of passenger cars
Ia undergoing a radical change. and
1t il difficult to predict the changes
which may take place in the construc-
ton in few years. The Wilson Car
company Of this city is now undertake
ing, says the Springfield, Mass, Re-
publican, the manufacture OF copper
covered cars. which it ia thought will
greatly improve the durability of the
cars. The invention Is very recent,
and 1t was the result OF much per-
sistent labor. For years men have
been at work endeavoring to discover
some chemical substance which should
help preserve the cars. The Wason
company has seen SO much merit In
cepted an order from the Erie rail-
road to manufacture twenty-nine cars
OF the new pattern. The only cars OF
this character now In use are the sam
pie cars, and no other company ex-
cept the Wason company has yet at
tempted to build cars on this plan.
The Consolidated road was the first
to experiment with the copper cover
ing. The Fitchburg and Erie roads
at once bad sample cars built, and the
result Of the latter's experiment led
to the order which the Wason COM
pany 10 now at work upon. It is
thought that not long hence these
cars will be in common use. The cop
per passes through a peculiar process
before 1t II placed on the cars. 1t IL
Oxidized and lacquered, and other ex-
perfments are now being conducted
which will yet determine the exact
color In which these cars will appear
before the public, though 1t viii prob
ably be BLUSH black. Chemicals are
used in polishing the copper. which
will leave the car practically a natural
color after the polish IL worn on by
the weather, and the cars will ult1-
mately present more uniform color
than will those built today. 1t 10 ex-
pected that the greatest demand for
these cars will be from the southern
states and from South America, where
samples have already been sent by
the Wason company. The weather in
the southern climates Is much more
severe upon the cars than in the north.
