WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. An Interesting feature of tho Schloy court of Inquiry was Intmrfiir,! tmlnir 1 mmAfl Inf pi V after the nOOn rrccis: Hear Admiral Hvans, who as cap tain commanded iflo battleship Iowa dur ing tho battlo of Santiago, was called to tho witness stand. Ho stated that he had first Joined the flying squadron off Clen fucgos on May 22 at 1 p. m., when he took the dispatches from Admiral Sampson to Commodore Schley. These dispatches ho Mint to Commodore Schley by his executive jjfTlcer, Commander Rogers, ho not seeing ,1 tho commodoro himself. As the dispatches were scaled ho did not know their contents. Witness t,ald the squadron had done nothing to llnd out certainly If Cervcra was In Clenfucgos harbor. "Whut, If anything, within your knowl edge was done toward destroying or pro venting tho further completion of the cnomy's batteries In tho vicinity of Clen fucgos?" "On Sunday afternoon, T am quite sure It was, Commodore Schloy formed his squad ron In columns and Htood In to a rango of about a mile nnd a half from shore, made a turn and stood out ogatu. That la the only thing 1 knew." "Wns any attack made upon the enemy at that tlmo?" "No, they nil got up and stood on tho breastworks and looked at us. We steamed out again. There was no firing." "Woro you within range of the batteries with the heavier guns of your ship?" "I did not sco nay batteries. There was n. work they were completing there." Iinvn Wns Within HniiKr. "Were yod within rango of this with the four-Inch guns of lowaT" "I should think so, yes." "Did lown coal ship whllo In Clenfucgos and. If so, how much did It take?" "We took on 250 tons of coal on the 23d." Admiral Evan said that bo had coaled Iowa from Morrlmae on May 23 whllo off Clenfucgos nnd that ho had no difficulty In doing so. Speaking of the roport of the condition of the weather made by Iowa on May 21 and 25, tho witness said on tho evening of ho 24th It was squnlly; that on tho morning of tho 25 tho sky was overcast nnd that the weather was again squally; In tho afternoon It wna worse, there being considerable rain within long sea. He said .tin, nttnt Inni'lnv f'lnnfhni.na tfaa vnna.,1 ..had steamed to a point nbout thirty miles jMouth of Santiago, nrrlved there on tho Jtonlng of tho 2fith nnd that at that time TBs uadron was bonding to tho east. Tho weather nt that time, he said, was not such as to pi event the coaling of ships at that. date. Iowa at that time had about S21 tons of coal nboard, or sufficient for steaming 3,000 mllca. On blockade the . shin used thirty or forty tons of coal a V nay. Doesn't Know Why Thpy Hacked "Why was the retrograde movement' made?" asked Judge Advocate Lemly. "1 do not know," was tho reply. The witness said ho could havo coaled at sea on the- 24lh, as tho sea wns smooth, "Wns any effort mndo by tho flying squadron on Mny 21, 25 or 30 to communi cate, with tho Insurgents on shore near Santiago?" "None to my knowledge." Testllylng that ho had first seen Colon on Mny 29, Admiral Hvans said that ves sel was not lnsldo the hnrbor nt nil, but wns about 200 yards Inside tho Morro. He then detnlled the particulars of the bom bardment of Colon on May 31, saying that on tho forenoon of that day Commodore Schley hnd signaled to transfer the flag to Massachusetts, that ho wns going In to enftago Colon and In describing that en gagement nn said: "About five minutes to 1 o'clock I saw the first shot from MassnchusettH fall short a long distance aid, supposing It was firing at 7,000 ynrds, I gave tho rango to my guns S.OOO yards. I saw theso shots fall short end Increased the rango to 0,500 yards. After Massachusetts hnd passed tho enlranre to the harbor It turned with port helm Hiid steamed back, Now Orleans and Iowa following, On tho run back ncross the harbor I ngalu tired at 10,000 ynrds. Theso shots still fell short and, as Massachusetts and Now Orleans slowed down mid stopped nfter they got ncross, I slowed down' my engines, then Increased tho range to ll.OflO yards. I saw that It fell short. Lieutenant Hill hnd the other gun In that turret nnd I gave him the range at 11,500 ynrds nnd he fired nnd that shot struck very near tho stern of Colon, lloth twelve-Inch guns were disabled by tho tire from that extreme elevation. After that wo stcod a mllo and half, possibly two miles, to our blockading station agalu. That wns all I saw done to Injure Colon." npnerlhea I hf IMockuilc, Tho witness was then arked about tho bloekndo off Santiago under Commodore Schley, He bald the squadron stood seven or eight miles out during tho daytime and a little farther out nt night, with Vixen and Mnrblehcad on the Inside at night.

The officers nnd men nt company u ot mo j-ourioomn United States lnfnntry, nn duty at West awn cemetery, guarding tho resting placo of President McKlnley, worked diligently today Investigating tho strnngo story ot rlvato Doprcnd, which happened Sunday night. Tho mllllury regulations which prevented the officers and mou from making detnlled statcmcuta concerning tbo incident last night wero as rigidly observed today. Tho representative of the Associated Press saw all of tho commissioned otllcers, aoveral non-commissioned olllcors and n number of privates and gleaned tho following: All of tho commissioned officers nnd tho members of tho company In general last night accepted fully the story related by rlvtito Doprcnd and really believed that tho prowlers were about tho vault, with no good purpose. Today only ono of tho commls-tloncd otllcers adhered to tho be lief thut an attempt had boon mado on tho sentinel for ghoulish purposes. He said: it wns tho real thing. It wns prompted by tho j'Uto cusscdncss of somo people who thought to bring reproach upon tho na tion by doing diimngo to tbo resting place of tbo dead president." Itelletp Deprenil At l.cnat lloupat. All tbo men who were seen today ex pressed the belief thnt Prlvato Dcprcnd acted in good faith and that ho related only what ho believed to bo tho real circum stances. With tho captain and othnrs ho went over tho detuils of tho whoto nffalr at least a dozen times and, It Is said, never varied in n matter of Importance. Partic ular Inquiry was mndo as to his sobriety ut tho tlmo mid It Is mild that It Is estab lished beyond all roasonablo doubt that ho had not been drinking nnd that ho wns in hla normal condition. Tho most omnium belief Is that tho senti nel was overwrought by thoMoncllncas of his position; thnt. his nerves wro over taxed and that lmnglutlim ' contribute,, somo of the dctrils relutcd In Rood faith. The post was regarded by all as particularly Isolated nnd depressing to the man guarding It at night, nnd it Is understood thnt moia sentinels will bo stntloncd nt tho point In tho future. Captain llldille'a Theory. Captain Biddlo thanked tho reporters for what he called tho fair manuer In which the Incident had been described In th morning reports, saying they gave a full nnd completo stntement ot fncts, ns far ns rovcnled last night. Ho was fully con vinced last night of the truth of tho story i as related, but nfter Investigation enter- tallied doubts, not of the sincerity of Prl vato Deprenil, but of tho correctness ot tho conclusions. Captain Biddlo nuthorlzed , this statement: "I think tho sentinel do- ' celved himself on tho occurrence. I do rot . think an actual nttnek as rotated by him occurred. When daylight camo thero was no evidence found of a struggle. Tho matter has been reported In full to Genoral OtiB at Chicago, commanding . tho department to which iho gunrd Is at- ' tached. Whether thero will no a formal ' Inquiry Into the matter remains for General ' Otis to determine. Officers at tho cemo tery expressed the hope that Inasmuch ns , no harm had been donti no formal action 1 would bo taken. I Conk r.iplalna Crlllplama, 1 Sergeant Cook, who was reported to havo i heard rcmnrkn Sunday nftornoon nmons visitors, further explained as follows: "I ' wns on duty at the guard tent near tho vault Sunday afternoon. Thero wero three, , funerals nt tho cemotery nnd many peoplo passing nil tho time. Three men, represen tative looking men, uch ns como hy tho t.core every day. spoke to mc. Ono man said ho did not seo tho usn of all this fuss; that no ono would try to do nny harm now. Tho thlid mnn said ho was mistaken; that thero wore lots of peoplo who would llko i to see the wholo thing blown up. No, I had i not then nor havo I now any suspicion that I any of these men would havo any Intorest , n or would sympathize with any act of violence. I think they wero speaking ot tho disposition of other classes who might bo prompted to such acts." Tho usual guard and patrol was on duty today.
