tiago de Cuba with his whole command,
ETC.?
THAT is the telegram referred to-
did understand you to say that that
caused the belief that the Spanish fleet
was in Santiago?"
NO; oh, mol What caused the be-
lief was the information received from
Capt. Allen, of the signal corps. who was
in charge of the telegraph Office in Key
West. He informed Lieut.. Staunton,
who was in Key West at noon on the
10th, that this information had come
over night from Havana
Gould I interrupt you just a minute.
Was No., the dispatch referred to (the
Dear Schley' dispatch), being sent in
answer to this inclosure?''
Eyes. That was sent after receiving
this dispatch
1.-The admiral then telegraphed the de-
partment practically paraphrase of this
letter No. 7?'
PLAIN ORDERS TO sCHLEY.
''This dispatch and the telegram to the
department paraphrasing it were pre-
pared on the night of the 18th, and were
sent that night, Il think. At noon OF
the Goth, Lieut.. Staunton saw Capt. AL
len in Key West and Stanton was
again sent to Key West and came back
with the assurance from Capt. Allen that
the Spanish fleet was there Then the
doubt in Admiral SIMPSONS mind WAS
removed, and he then wrote a dispatch
to be sent by the Marblehead, which
we were expecting to get off hourly. She,
however, was delayed, and the flagship
got under way at A o'clock in the MORN
ing of the 21st and went over to Ha-
vana From there, as there was this
possibility of longer delay in the Mar
blehead's departure than was expected,
he sent the Eagle and the Hawk with
copy of this dispatch and supplementary
dispatch to Commodore Schley, also with
verbal instructions to the commanding
officer of the Hawk to move at once to-
ward Santiago"
"Is this the dispatch you refer to, NO.
8? On the 21st the following instructions
were written at Key west for Commo-
tlore Schley and sent at a. m. to the
Marblehead to be delivered With all dis
patch:
go TO SANTIAGO
" Spanish squadron probably at San
tiago de Cuba, four ships and three tor
pedo boat destroyers If you are salts
fed they are not at Cienfueges, proceed
with all dispatch, but cautiously, to San
tiago de Cuba, etc,
as that the dispatch that was sent
to Commodore Schley after the doubt was
removed in the mind of Admiral Samp-
son where the Spanish feet wasp
yes"
you have stated that he became cer-
tain on this subject
HE became assured, or at least my
impression is that he felt assured after
the reception of the second word from
Capt. Allen in regard to the matter. That
was on the evening of the 10Th
hnt on oSc
you, of whether tie Spanish fleet was at
Santiago or whether it had gone into San
tiago?'
"At Santiago"
Doesn't it state anything about hav-
ing gone in and come out?''
mo. That they were there"
AT this point in Capt. Chadwick's tes-
timony the court adjourned for the days.
END IS FAR OFF.
After the witnesses OF yesterday had
been recalled today in the Schley court
for the purpose of correcting their testi-
mony, Lieut. J. H. Holden was re-intro-
duced to continue his examination.
Capt. Lemly had supposed that he
would be able to conclude the presenta-
ton of the governments side of the case
by the close of this week, but he now
finds that he will still have several wit
nesses on his list when the court adj
journs tomorrow. In all probability he
will consume the greater part of the
first half of next week. Mr.. Rayner esti-
mates that the court will be able to con-
Glide its work before the middle of No
vember.
When the court was called to order,
Capt. Lemly made brief explanation of
one of his statements of yesterday con-
corning the statement received from COM
mander Mark He had said that the
statement was eunsworn.'
II would like it to appear" he said.
