Continued from Page oen.)

(Continued from Page Oen.) the forwarding of dispatches by the Du- pont and the Iowa from Key West May 20. These messages were from Admiral Sampson to Commodore Schley and one of them was the memorandum by Cap tain Nc Calla concerning the insurgents at Cienfuegos.
 The Dear Schley" Letter.
 Every letter was, he said. press copied as soon as written and he. therefore con- sidered the order in which the letters were copied as a certain record of what had transpired in the way of letter writ ing. Other records were produced wich he said were corroborative of this. From these records he found that the Dear Schley" letter had been sent on the Du- pont May 20 He also found from this record that a dispatch of May 2l saying the Spanish squadron was probably at Santiago" had been forwarded by the Marblehead This is the dispatch dated at Key West in which Admiral Samp- son said to Commodore Schley: "lf you are satisfied that they 0he enemy) are not at Cienfuegos, proceed to Santiago" etc
 He also identified a dispatch of May 2l, dated at Havana. and urging the Com modore to get away from Cienfuegos be- fore daylight of May g, as the Spanish would probably be still at Santiago
 The latter dispatch. he said. had been written after the dispatch from Key West of the same date.
 MT. Hanna asked: Would 1t have been possible that the Dear Schley' letter could have been sent on an earlier date than this letter of May 19, transmitting the McCala memorandum? ....
 'I should say not, the McCalla memo randum being press copied in the book on prior page"
 Testimony Not Shaken.
 In cross examining the witness. MT. Raynor said that counsel for Admiral Schley would admit the receipt or one copy of the McCalla memoranda put that there was dispute as to the other copies. He tried to get the witness to say that the Iowa had carried a duplicate or the Dear Schley' letter. but he would not do so He held, however, to the state ment that the McCalla memorandum had been carried in duplicate by poth the Dupont and the Iowa.
 He had, however no written evidence that either the Hawk or the Marblehead had carried the memorandum. We were likely to be on the safe side Tn such matters," said the witness, "and to nave checked in the memorandum put the Marhlehead had not been reheu upoh to carry the dispatch"
 MT. Raynor questioned the witness al some length on this point. saying want to call your attentiont to this: Dlspatch No. was received on May 2S by the Hawk It is in evidence here that the Hawk carried No. 8 to Commodore ochleN and this letter commences: Tn reply 10 your letter No. 8. I would state ana s on Then it says: Regarding enclosed information from McCalla. NO" uoii that refresh your memory on the Poih' that when he received No. rom the Hawk he received with it the ehclosea information from Captain McCdlia' WHICH $ the memorandum"
 He propably did. He hiS 5r, naS received it half a dozen times. nat Was not the first time 1t was sent :.
 Does not that settle it that ne got from the IIawk?" --;,..
 'I do not know that it necessarily lCes."
 Lieutenant Marsh was then excused
