WASHINGTON, Oct. 0, When tho senate
committee here today resumed Its hearing
of the charges against Lieutenant Ilelstand,
Major Hawkcs, tho prosecuting witness,
was called to submit some evidence In re
buttal which he desired to present. Mr.
Hawkcs said that upon his return from the
Philippines ho cnlled upon the secretary of
war and demanded to know the cause of
his removal.
Judge Mnckny, Hawkcs' nttorney, entered
on a line of questioning Intended to draw
the secretary of wnr Into the controversy,
when stopped by Senator Cnekrell, who an
nounced thnt no stich questions would be
permitted, ns the secretary was not under
Investigation.
W. S. Coursey, who was formerly secre
tary to General Corbln, testified thnt when
tho reply to Colonel Helstnnd's dispatch
to General Otis was received he could not
connect It with any mcssago that hud been
sent. Finally ho went to tho miscellaneous
division, which was In charge of Colonel
Hcistnnd, nnd the latter Informed him It
wns tho reply to a private message he had
sent.
Mnjor Hawkcs, In correcting his testi
mony, had added n statement that Judgn
Boyd wns not to subscribe for hemp stock,
but wns to receive it for tho uso of his
name. This called out several questions as
to tho division of stork and Hawkcs said
It was understood that the names of tho
othor parties were not to appear on the
stock books. To nvold this It wns agreed
between himself and Ilelstand thnt Jb",0,000
of stock was to bo carried In Hawkcs
name.
Oinlaalon nn Iniporlnnl One.
Senator Cockrell asked why ho hnd not
testified to this before, ns It was n very
Important matter. Mr. Hnwkes said he had
never said anything to nny of the parties
nbout tho matter. Under close question
ing Major Hnwkes admitted he had said
to Judgo Boyd that ho was not to pay for
tho stock, "or words to that effect." Ho
was asked what reply Judge Boyd mado
and said ho answered thnt It wns all right.
"or words to that effect."
Replying to questions hy Senator Cock
rell, Hawkes said he hnd been on very
friendly terms with Judge Boyd and would
hnve spared him If possible. Ho ndded
that ho Mas much dlBappolnted In tho evl
dencn given by tho aevcral witnesses he
foro tho committee. Senator Cockrell asked
him how ho could bo disappointed when ho
wns Informed by nil of them that they
hBd no connection with the hemp company.
Hawkes replied that he expected they
would testify differently.
"Don't you think they havo sworn to the
truth?" inquired Senator Cockrell.
"I do not," retorted Hnwkes hotly.
Several witnesses who had testified dur
Ing the hearing wero recalled, but notlv
Ing of particular Importance was developed
At the close of today's hearing tho com'
mlttee held a brief legislative session and
then nnnounced nn adjournment until No
vember 21, when two witnesses, Lnw Is B.
Jackson nnd Duncnn B. Harrison, who

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. Reports have
reached tho Navy department from Tutulla,
Samoa, complaining of the conduct of Cap
tain Tliley, the commandant of that station.
It Is alleged thnt on more than one occa
elon bo had been under tho Influence of
liquor nnd that his conduct was unbecoming
an ofllcer.
Acting Secretary Hacket has instructed
tho commander-in-chief of tho Puclllc
bquadron tn proceed to Samon to nscertaln
the truth with regard to tho charge and If
necessary to hold a court for tne trial of
Captain Tliley.
Tho department has detached Captain Tli
ley from command of the Abcranda and of
the station and ordered him to proceed by
tho next steamer from San Francisco to
Tutulln.
Tho charges, It Is proper to sny, wero re
ceived at tho department with surprlBe,
since the record of Captain Tliley hitherto
haa been unblemished. Tho administration
of his ofilco ns reported officially from time
to tlmo has been eminently satisfactory.
There has boen no ground for supposing
that this ofllcer'a conduct was otherwise
than what It should have been.

manded tho battleship Indiana during the

Tompllu M. Potts, who wns navigator of
tho battleship Massachusetts during that
period, nnd Lieutenant Edward F. Lclper.
who was on Now Orlcaua during tho war,
tho last named being still on the stand
when tho court adjourned for thu day.
Admiral Taylor related Incidents of ths
battle off Santr.igo on July 3, Inctudlng
Ilrooklyn s famous turn, llo snld that none
of tho Spanish ships had mndo nny effort
to rnm the Amorlcnn vessels wheu they
came out of tho harbor at Santiago.
Commnndor Potta' testimony dealt espe
cially with tho bombardment of Colon.
Answering a question from Judgo Advocate
Lonily ns to the conduct ot Commodoro
Schley during thnt cngugement he snld it
was that of n man laboring under grent
mental excitement and of n man who was
anxious to discharge as Boon as poislbls
a dtsagrecabln duty.
Lleuteunnt I.elpcr expressed thn opinion
thnt tho Spanish shore battcrlns nt San
tiago hnd not been at any tlmo formidable
t'liupppaanry Kxpnaurp ForlilddPii.
During Commander Potto' examination
Mr. Rayner secured permission from tho
court to Introduce as evidence the order
nf Secretary Long to Admiral Sampson,
dated April 6, in which ho was admonished
against tho exposure of the American ves
sels to the flro of strongly fortified ports.
Tho paragraph In that order which ho espe
cially wished to havo considered reads aa
follows:
The deportment does not wish the vessels
of your squadron to be exposed to the flra
or mo naileries ne Havana, Mannngo
Cuba or other strongly fortified ports Ju
Cuba uiilesi the more formldabl ripuntslt
verselH should take refuge within thos

Notwithstanding today marks an Import
ant turnlg point In tho career of Rear Ad
miral Schley, being nothing less
than tho data of bis transfer
from tho actlvo lo the retired Hat of tho
navy, he wns In his accustomed scat within
the railing of the court of Inquiry and gavo
his usual attention to the proceedings or
the court. Tho retirement of Admiral
Schley Is in accordance with law, ho hav
ing reached the ngo of 62 years. It was
generally remarked that he did not loun
his a-e.
Tho formal proceedings of the day begau
with tho Introduction of Lieutenant M. L.
Rrlstol, formerly watch officer on Texas, as
a witness. He was under cross-examina
tion when tho court adjourned last night,
nnd Mr. Raynor began today's examination
ot Lieutenant Bilstol with questions con
cerning tho accuracy ot tbe atadluieter for
measurement of distances at sea. He asked
if he would rather trust hla own visual
observation for a 4,000-ynrds range than tho
Instrument. Tho witness stated that tho
atadlmetor was moro accurate for distances
below 4,000 ynrdB thnn above that distance.
At that distance he would make several
observations for continuation of visual b
servatlon. "Tho error," he raid, "becomes
greater the greater tbe distance,"
"Could you clvo mo," asked Mr. Raynar,
"a point from which It is entirely relia
ble?" "Yes," was tbe reply, "at zero It Is abo
lutelv accurate."
Tho witness considered the ssxtant much
morn reliable In measuring the distance
between ships.
He had, ho said, taken several observa
tions with thn stndimeter Just after th
Spanish fleot came out of the harbor and
had checked those with the sextant. Ha
found tbe distance from Morro to be 6,100
yards.
Opinion ConfllolN With rtoporta.
Mr. Raynor also Interrogated Lieutenant
Bristol concerning bis estimate, made Boon
Hftcr the arrival of tho fleet off Bantlngo,
that tho Spanish shore batteries amounted
to but little. Ho had said ycitorday that
tho elevation of theso batteries was from
105 to 200 feet. Mr. Rayner produced a chart
show that tho Morro battory was 220 feet
above tho water Hue and the Zocapa bat
tery 320 feet high.
"I will give you an opportunity now io
mako a full explanation as to whether you
stated the elevation ot theie batteries to
be between 100 and 200 feet?"
"I did state that."
"Did you not statu to mo you aro as po
sltlve about that as othor distances which
you havo given In the caso?"
"I did."
"Do you (till stand to your statoment?
Is the map wrong and aro you right?"
"I will stand by my statement. I bad not
seen tbe chart when I prepared my state
ment." Mr. Rayner askod the witness whother
there had been any menace to any of thn
American ships on July 3 from ths shorn
batteries. Lieutenant Bristol replied that
there was daugor to Gloucester becaunn
thnt vessel was unurinored. Hn said tbtit
be did not consider Now York In danger
Mr Rayner tbon read from a report to
Secrotnry Long, saying that on that day
Now York bad sustained ths undivided flrsj
ol m thota bfctUrla. "a jreu still mJ
