Meeting With the scouts.

The admiral then told how, upon reach
ing a point southwark from Santiago,
about or 5 o'clock In the afternoon of
May %, he had encountered the scout
boats, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Yale but
before relating the details of coming up
with them he digressed sufficiently to re-
fer to dispatch which had mentioned his
intention of delaying until the 2oth his de-
parture from Cienfuegos which he ex-
planned was for the purpose Of taking up
the Scorpion, which vessel had been ex
pected back on the oath or 25th. THAT"
he said, was the suggestion. but we can
make a great many suggestions and say
good many things, and then we are priv
i1iged not to follow them" At this point
the admiral entered upon another defense
of his course by saying: II was on the
south side of Cuba. of course invested,
thought, with entire responsibility. / was
not in communication by telegraph. 1 did
not know that we had secret agents in Ha-

The admiral then referred to his picking
up the scout boats In this connection he

saying that Captain Cook had reported that
he had never seen more motion on the
Brooklyn and that some of the youngsters
in the steerage were seasick, which was an
unusual thing.
He then related the incident of Captain
Sigsbee's coming aboard the Brooklyn from
the st. Paul, saying that the visit had i'm

admiral said. that he is capable of stat

think his recollection Is at fault and not
his veracity. I said to him, Captain have

No, they are not in here. I have been In

Gee and Stewart, both OF whom are
negroes. had been at outs for some
