ENCOURAGING MESSAGES.
Mr.. Rayner asked witness whether he
had received any encouraging messages
during the battle and he replied that he
had, saying: "They were all of general
purport, informing us for instance that
a ship had been sunk, had turned in
shore, or two ships were on fire, etc. OF
course they were all enthusiastically re-
ceived"
Some of the messages were from Com
modore Schlcy, others from Capt. Cook.
and still others from Assistant Engineer
Ryan
The court asked: When were the
fires laid in the boiler that were not in
use when the battle began on the morn
ing OF July Srd?''

verted yacht. The Scorpion left the
column and went over toward this yacht
and communicated with her. The Scor-
pion came back and communicated a
| megaphone message to the Brooklyn
The substance of this message was that
the Nashville was returning 10 Key West

that he had seen nothing of the Span

LOOKED LIKE EFFORT TO RAM.
Mr. Cronin continued his testimony at
the afternoon session, saying that one of
the Spanish ships appeared to lie heading
directly toward the Brooklyn, creating
the impression that either she meant to
ram the Brooklyn or the brooklyn to
ram her"
In reply to a question by the court Mr.
Cronan said that so far as he knew
neither the Eagle nor the Vixen had
made any signal requesting the squadron
to slow down on the cruise from Cienfue-
gos to Santiago
Geo. II. Warford, carpenter on the
Brooklyn, said that early in the action
at Santiago the order was passed by q
marine orderly, STAND by to RAM. He
also said that later and during the chase
he had seen the Viscaya turn as if to
ram the Brooklyn before the former went
ashore. Mr.. Warford said that Com
