WASHINGTON, D. c., October Is
The cross-exsminstion OF Admiral
Schley began to-day before the court
of inquiry. and hardly more than
third of the ground was covered when
the court adjourned at o'clock.
After Admiral Schley concludes. two
other witnesses will be called in his
behalf. Admiral Barker and = Captain
Thomas Borden. The latter was an
| offleer of the marine corps aboard the
Brooklyn. The Judge advocate then
will call his witnesses in rebuttal, of
whom there are understood to be more
than fifteen, and it is probable that
| Admiral Schleys counsel will call wit
nesses in sur-rebuttal.
The crowd present to-day, while
hardly so large as on Friday last. when
Admiral Schley told the story OF the
battle of Santiago. showed undated
interest in the proceedings. Nothing
sensational developed and the only
outburst in the court occurred when
Mr. Rayner, Admiral Sehley's counsel,
objected to line of inquiry of the
Judge advocate designed to criticise
Admiral Schleys 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
examination. which continued only
about ten minutes after the court con
vened this morning. with statement
of the effect OF the fire Of the respect
i've fleets at Santiago, showing that &c
per cent. of the hits suffered by the
enemy were scored by -the4 eBrooklyn's
fve-inch guns, while his ship received
10 per cent Of the hits of the Spanish
ships. Captain Lemly's cross-examin-
alton was very searching. Admiral
Schley, however. appeared to be unruf-
fled throughout the examination,
frankly admitting on several occasions
that he could not remember little de-
tails after the lapse OF three years.
Gne line Of inquiry which the Judge
advocate tried to press to show that
Admiral Schley did not proceed with
dispatch" from Key West to Cienfue-
COS by attempting to contrast the
speed made between Charleston and
Key West with the time between Key
West and Cienfuegos, was curtailed by
decision of the court, which confined
the questions to the time subsequent
to May 18th, the day on which the fly
ing squadron left Key West. The
judge advocate, in his cross-examina-
ton, dwelt upon the interview be-
tween Admiral Sampson and Comman-
Ger Schley at Key West before the de-
parture of the flying squadron, at
which the latter testified that Admiral
Sampson instructed him not to expose
his ships to shore batteries until the
Spanish feet had been destroyed, ON
the fact that Admiral Schley issued no
written order of battle, on the ques-
ton 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 San
tiago when the court adjourned. The
retrograde movement, the firing upon
the Colon and the battle of Santiago.
which constitute the main features OF
the precept. were not touched upon to-
day.
