Mr.. Raynor then questioned the wit
ness as to the speed the yowa was max
ing when the Oquendo and the Maria
Teresa went ashore. The latter re-
piled that he could only say the snip
was going as fast as they could make
her 90 He thought she must have
been going nine and a half knots an
hour. In this connection Mr. Raynor
asked a number of questions Intended
TO show the admiral's official report and
his present statements as 10 speed
were not consistent.
Mr.. RaynOr's point was that -he Of
fetal report showed. according to
measurements. that the Iowa had made
( eight miles in half an hour, but tEe
admiral said that while this might be
true according to the land measure
ments. it must be borne in mind that
he was running d course at sea.
Admiral Evans was also questioned
as to his statements concerning the
distance the blockading vessels were
out at night. He said yesterday that
I the vessels of the blockading squadron
were farther out at night than during
the day and Mr.. Raynor read previ-
Gus statement from him TO the effect

! This. the admiral said, was the ex-
act fact. that after being out farther
at night the vessels came in closer at

He was then asked if he had ex-
pressed his belief to Commodore Schley

oore Schley. a controversy arose over
the a6misSi bility OF the question, and

report of July Is. 1898, the sentence
reading: After having been assured

witness replied:
Sigsbee Appeals to Court
Il stated that we had seen nothing
of the Spanish fleet. l stated that 1
knew nothing positively or absolutely
about its movements. but l recited Ger
tain events to show that there was a
probability Of the fleet being in San
| tiago at that time.
TN regard TO the other matter beg
to make an appeal to the court. This
case is one involving regulations. 1t
has been stated by Commodore Schley
in an official letter to the United States
senate that / expressed a certain belief.
Now it has been made a public matter.
I think that either the court or the
defense should allow me to express
under oath what 1 really said. Whether
I expressed that belief or not, it may be
technically right to interfere with me.
but according to the ethics of the naval
service 1 think the defense ought to
permit me to answer that question
I'VE have no objection to that" said
Mr.. Raynor.

ton. 1 have said nothing about my
belief"
Mr.. Hanna-The portion of the ques-
ton to which l should like to have you
give an explicit answer is whether you
assured Commodore Schley that you
believed the Spanish feet was not in
Santiago
81 did not say that I believed it was
not there I said I had not seen it
did you give him any assurance
which would point in that direction?'

the commanding officers were on board

iards bottled up at Cienfuegos. I re-
piled that we had had them bottled up

Mr. Raynor attempted to quote a
statement from Admiral Sampson TO
the effect that Captain Sigsbee had
said on May % that the flying squad
ron was blockading Santiago twenty
five miles out at seS. but objection was
made to bringing Admiral Sampson in.
and Mr. Raynor asked Captain Sigsbee
whether he had made that report to
anyone on that date. The witness re-
piled in the negative.
In reply 70 a question as to the con-
ditiOn OF the weather at the time he
was at Santiago, Captain Sigsbee said:

lUtely nothing of the Spanish Meet" He
reported also that the Restormel had
2.400 tons of coal aboard. and said that
the commanding officer had said he Vs.
bound for Santiago.
Mr.. Hanna also read number Of
letters, among them being one from
Captain Sigsbee to Commodore Schley,
written from Mole st. Nicholas. May
90 in which he said TO the commodore:
DO as you are doing and you will do
right" He also informed him that
there were q number of kilograms at
the mole for him. but that none of
them was urgent. He told the COM
mander that the department expected
him to exercise great efforts to keep
in coal.
Mr.. Hanna: II wish TO ask your at
tention 10 the clause: Do as you are
doing and you will do right. What
was the flying squadron doing at the
time you wrote that letter."
THAT was based on the tenor of the
cipher kilograms found at the mole
from the commander-in-chiefa nd from
the navy department, urging that the
Spanish squadron be held and that eV-
cry effort be made to coal ships. At
that time the flying squadron was OF
Santiago with the intention, so far as
know. of staying, and I also believe
it was the intention of Commodore
Schley to coal his ships off that port
l left Santiago on the morning OF the
day on which that letter was written.
At that time the weather was very
fine. and had twice urged on COmmO-
dore Schley the Importance of taking
advantage of that particular kind of
weather, stating that it was better
than anything we had had during my
stay Off the port"
About Spanish Fleet.
Captain Sigsbee also said that when
he had boarded the Brooklyn on May
that he was bound for Key West for
coal.
"Did he ask you. if he believed the
Spanish fleet was in the harbor of
Santiago?"
Il do not remember his putting a
question in such terms"
The witness recalled a signal from the
| flagship at that time asking him to
inform Sampson that One-half of his
squadron is out of coal"
Mr.. RaynOr then questioned the wit
ness, bringing out the statement that
/ the purpose of his ship being sent to

sible. locate the Spanish fleet. He said

sails in the harbor at Santiago. but
