NOW SCHLEY'S SIDE.
Government Rests Its Case In the
Famous Naval Inquiry.
II Was Capt Cook Who Ordered the "Loop"
Mt the Santiago Battle, and Not
Commodore schley, -
Supposed. ....t

Washington, Oct. 15.-Yesterday in
the Schley court of inquiry Judge Ad-
vocate Lemly concluded presentation
of testimony for the government and
the first of Admiral Schley's wit
nesses was introduced. Capt. Francis
A. Cook, who commanded Admiral
(then commodore) Schley's flagship,
the Brooklyn, during the Santiago
campaign, and who acted, though UNI
officially, in the capacity OF chief OF
staff for the commodore, was on
the witness stand the greater part
of the day. He was followed by
Lieut.. Commander William f. Fullam,
who was senior watch officer on the
New Orleans during the Spanish war,
and former Lieut.. Joseph Beale, who
as an officer on the Harvard trans
lated the cipher dispatches between
Commodore Schley and the navy de-
partment carried by that vessel.
Among those dispatches was that
sent by Commodore Schley. May 2s,
expressing regret ut not having been
able to obey the orders of the de-
partment and explaining the reason
why he could not do so. There are
some verbal discrepancies between
the original draft of this dispatch
and the official print of it, and these
Mr.. Beale explained.
Lieut.. Beale was the last of the
government witnesses. although
Capt. Lemly explained that he
would reserve the right to call others
If occasion should demand that he
do so. He had no sooner retired
than the first witness for Admiral
Schley was called. This proved to
be the Cuban pilot. Edwardo Nunez,
who told Schley on May 2G, 1895. that
he did not believe the Spanish fleet
under Cervera was in the harbor Mt
Santiago.
Capt. Cooks testimony was a re-
view of the entire campaign after
Cervera's fleet, beginning with the de-
parture of the flying squadron from
Key West on May 10 and concluding
with the battle off Santiago, July 3.
He said that at first it had been be-
lieved by both Sampson and Schley
that the Spanish feet was in the
harbor ut Cienfuegos and that in
formation to the contrary had not
been conveyed to Commodore Schley
until the arrival of Capt. .McCalla on
May "a; that it was Commodore
Schley's expectation to meet the
Spaniards in the open sea and his
constant care was to have coal
enough for such emergency. He
gave particulars concerning the ret
rograde movement and explained the
Brooklyn's loop in connection with a
graphic account of the engagement
of July 3. Asked for an opinion rs to
Admiral Schley's bearing as COM
handing officer, he said: II always
regarded him as an enthusiastically
brave and patriotic officer"
