BY A SIGNAL OFFICER (Continued from First Page.) tho battle. Continuing his narrative, ho said: "At the beginning all the ships turned In toward the Spanish fleet, which was emerging from the harbor. The Spanish vessels came out In a southwesterly direc tion and ported helm, continuing to the westward practically parallel to the coast line. Our shlpH thon making not as great speed as the enemy's -began to fall behind, so that Indiana, Oregon, Iowa and Texas starboarded helm, and made all tho speed they could In a parallel course with tho Spanish squadron. I did' not see tho exact movement of Brooklyn." FlnKhlp'a Course nt Variance, "The first time I noticed It was twenty or twenty-five minutes after tho action began, when I turned my eyes to the west ward and snw Brooklyn standing apparently duo southward directly at right angles to the courso we and tho other American shlua wero steering. This struck mo so forcibly because tho other ships wero In column nnd steaming westward. Brooklyn was In close proximity to several others of our Bhlps. They appeared hunched, but Brook lyn was steaming southward and firing with Its stem gun, while somo of the others. I could not distinguish which, wero close to It. The spoctacle was so rcmarkablo that I explained the fact to tho commanding officer of our ship, saying that I feared Brooklyn was Injured and going out. "It, however, changed its course and went west on a line well outside that of the other ships. I think Oregon wan In tho lead, either Oregon or Toxas, with Iowa following and Indiana In tho rear. Brooklyn steered a course parallel about a mllo or mor to the southward, skirting along the column formod by the fleet. By that time the chase waa well under way and tho relative positions ot the vessels were not changed," Mr. Hayner's cross-oxamlnatlon ot Cnp taln Dawson wan directed toward show ing that his testimony was basod upon recollection and thnt consequently he was liable to be Inaccurate. The witness ad mitted that he testified only from memory. But he said; "I was on deck as a signal officer and It was my duty to observe closely and make report." Ho said that Brooklyn had had gone about 2,000 yards to the southward. Taldr of Coal Snppl-r. When Captain Dawson was excused Lieu tenant C. W. Dyson of tho bureau of steam engineering, Navy department, was intro duced to present a tabulated statement showing the amount of coal on board tho vessels of tho flying snuadron from May 18 to June 1, 1808, as complied from tho stoam logbooks of the various vessels, Mr. nnynor said ho would not object to the presentation of this statement, but that he would ask that It be so extended as to show how long this coal In each case would carry tho vessels under forced draught, leaving sufficient on hand to tako the ves sel to any given base ot supply. Captain Lemly said he had no objection to supplying this additional Information, but nt 3:50 p. m. tho court adjourned for the day beforo tho table could be pre sented. Morning: Iroerrdtim. Captain Slgsbco was the first ot yester day's witnesses to appear for the purpose of correcting his testimony. Capttiln Slgsbeo stated (hat he had mado another search last night for tho dispatch from tho Navy department under the terras of which be sought to connect with ths flying squadron off Santiago and that ho had found a private letter which he had written at the time In which he had said: "Until we sighted trfo vessels on tho 20th we knew lothlng positive as to their where abouts," Lieutenant Doyle then resumed his testi mony, begun yesterday. He was oxamlned by Mr. Hayner. He continued In reply to questions to give a narrative of the cam paign. Mr. Hayner asked: "What do you know from your own ob servation In reference to the strength of the shoro batteries and tho guns?" Replying Lieutenant Doyle said that at tho bombardmont which bad taken place June 6 the Zocapa battery had replied at first very spiritedly, but that It soon "wont out of business." After tho ships with drew the enemy had again manned their guns und then shot at the ships. On the occasion of the second bombardment they did not remain .so long. "They always took a snap shot at us as we left," bo said. Mr. Rayaer then asked Lieutenant Doyle how often ho had seen Commodore Schley under fire during the Santiago campaign. "Kvery time we were under fire," he re plied, "during those bombardments and In tho battle of July 3." .rhlrj- Wns ('mil, "What was IiIb conduct? I refer to the first specification of the precept--'His con duct In connection with the events nt the Santiago campaign' and what was his con duct and bearing nt Hny time whatever during tho bombardments or during the bat tle of July 3 when his ship was under fire?" "I did not have nn opportunity, as the commodore was nlwnys near about tho con ning tower, to observe his conduct during the battle, but Immediately previous and after I did have an opportunity to do so. Ho always struck me as being Just about as well possessed as It was posslblo for anybody to be under those circumstances." "Was the smoke observed on July 2 by Commodore Schley communicated to the squadron?" Tho reply was: "Smoko was observed rising In the harbor on July 2 and my Im pression now Is and always has been since that night that Information was convoyed to the commandcr-ln-chlcf." Lenity Crnss-Mninlnrs, Captain Lenily began his cross-examination by asking the witness whether ho was as suro of his position and actions ot Brooklyn as he had been of the way Brook lyn had been turned on tho day of the San tiago battle. The witness replied that he was more cer tain, lie repeated his statement made yes terday that he had mado tho entry In the log that tho vessel hnd turned with star board helm, when In fact It had turned with a port helm. He said ho had not consulted with anyone except Commander Sharp when ho chdnged tho entry. Questions were then asficd by Mr. Hanna that traversed much tho samo ground Rone over yesterday by Captain Lemly In the examination. The witness again testified to tho circumstances that he had heard guns fired upon approaching Clcntuegos. Ho was sure that there were several guns, although tho logbook which bo had written had a record ot only two guns. IIo admitted that In that lespcct the log did not represent the entire facts. The witness also told of tho flying squadron's reconnolssancc of tho harbor nt Clenfucgos, but observed that ho bad observed no earthworks on shore there. He also snld that while he had seen the shore lights at night at Clenfuegos, ho had never suspected that they were signals. He told of seeing threo horsemen on the shoro during tho daytime, "We regarded them rts Spanish cavalry," he said, "and they wero so brazen that someone sug gested that we should stir them up a bit, but we did not flro at them." Describes the I'lrliiK. In response to Mr. Hanna's questions Lieutenant Doyle said that upon approach tug Santiago on tho evening ot May 28, tho squadron had lain a fortnight about seven miles oft Santiago, but ho thought thnt Marblehead and Vixen had been placed on picket duty for the night. The log, how ever, showed no record of this latter fact. Mr. Hanna then cross-examined the wit ness regarding his testimony bearing upon the battle off Santiago, asking htm first ns to the direction in which tho Spanish ships were headed as they cuine out of tho mouth of the harbor. "They were coming right toward us," the witness replied, "In column of vessels, almost in line a little on our starboard bow. They had not thon begun to turn." "Wero they firing at you?" nsked Mr. Hanna. "They wero certainly firing in our direc tion," was tho response. Tho witness said that after that tho firing was from both sides of tho bows of the enemy's vecseh. The court took Its midday receBs for luncheon. MAKES WAR 0NBEET SUGAR lllsr Company (,'uli I'rlecs In Territory Where It Is Pro duced. NEW YOHK, Oct. 3. The .Journal of Commerce says: President II. O. Havo meyer of tho American Sugar Hcflnlng com pany was at bis ofllco this week for tho llrst time since his Illness and It has been learned that ono of his first official acts, was to authorize one of the most spectacular re ductlons in refined sugar prices that hns over before been made. This was tho re ductlon announced In Tuesday's dispatches, It applies only to the sections oftho coun try In which beet sugar compete. The cut In price at Missouri river points was to 3V4 cents per pound net for granu lated. On Tuesday tho net quotntlon was 5.03 cents. In other words, Mr. Havemcyer has authorized a cut slightly In excess ot cents per pound. To understand the Importance of this cut to beet sugar manufacturers It should bo mentioned that the practice of tho beet sugar people Is to make contracts for their entire production at prices based on the celling price of tho sugar combine on the date of delivery. Tho beet peoplo have heretofore been enslly able to dispose of all their sugar ot a discount ot 10 points from tho American Sugar Heflnlng com pany's figures. This means. If tho beet people llvo up to their contracts, that they will receive 3 2-G cenls per pound for their product. It Is understood, however, that tho beet sugar people will refuse to rccog ntzo tho tut mado by tho American Sugar Heflnlng company on tho technical ground that It 1 In restraint of trade.
