WASHINGTON, Nov. I. The Schley court
of Inquiry reached the argument stage at
tho beginning of tho afternoon session to
day. Tho morning slttlnB wnB devoted
to listening to Admiral Schley and (Jap
tain Slgsbco In malting' corrections of ttiolr
testimony, which had hern Riven pre
viously and tho Introduction by Judge Ad
vocate Lcmly of numerous documonts, hear
ing upon different phases of tho Inquiry.
Admiral Schley did not make- nny material
nddltlons to his previous xtatcmcnts, but
devoted hlmrelf to tho clearing up of am
biguous points In his evidence.
An effort wns mado to Introduce two new
witnesses, who wero expected to glvo testi
mony In Admiral Schley's behalf, concern
ing tho controversy ns to what Information
Captain Slgsbce communicated to Admiral
Schloy when ho arrived off Santiago In
May, IMS. Ono of thewo witnesses was
Frank II. Itlchards, and tho other, George
I.yncb, both of New York nnd both news
paper correspondents who wcro on duty fit
Cuba and Cuban waters during tho war
with Spain.
'.VJr. Lynch was on .tho press bout Somora
N. . Smith, and Mr. Itlchards -on 1'rcmler.
Thry werp to havp testified ronccrnlni?
the meeting of thoso, vessels with St. Paul,
of which Captain Slgsbeo was In command.
The court, however,' decided not to hear
them.
The opening -flpecch of thej 'argument on
thoi(caso was made In behalf nfth,q, govern
ment by K. lK- 'ilanna, assistant' 'to tho
Judge advocate. Ho, began his remarks a
rew minutes atter, the rourl convened at
2 o'clock and jyhcn tho court adjourned two
hours later tic had not covered more than
half of tho ground in tho controversy.
Whllo 'Captain Slgsbco was on tho stand
Mr. Itayncr asked him It ho had megaphoned
or otherwise, communicated to the press
boat, 1'rcmler, whllo off Santiago, tho fact
that the Spanish fleet was not In Santiago.
The witness replied that ho' hud not done
mo, although bo would have been -justified
In doing bo If he thought It propor under
tho .circumstances of war.
Two Mori) lor ttclilpy.
When Captain Slgsbco wbb excused Cap
tain, Lemly announced that he had no more
witnesses to call. Frank n. Richards was
then sworn. Mr. THchurds (dated that ho
was. on tho dispatch boat Premier during
the Santiago campaign and that tho boat
was hailed by Captain' Slgsbce on the night
of! May 27 or 28. At' this point Captain
Imly objected to this lino of ovldcnco on
the ground that .Commodore Schley was not
present during tho conversation; also that
It, was not material to tho issue. Cap
tain Lemly roforrcd to tho ruling of tho
court regarding the Potts-Scars cotlvcrea
tion, which bad been ruled Out and claimed
that this was exactly n parallel ease.
Mr. Itayncr contended that this alleged
conversation with Captain Slgsbeo Is ono
of tho vital points of the case; that it bears
directly upon ono of tho most important
specifications of tho precept. Mr. Itayncr
sata nn am not ucstre to impeach tuo creai
blllty of Captain Slgsbee, but will endeavor
t6 Impeach very strongly his recollection.

support of Captain Lemly's objection the
court retired to consldor tho point raised.
The court was absent but a short time.
When It returned Admiral Dewoy an
nounced that "As tho testimony of this .wit
ness Is not considered material to tho case,
the objection Is sustained In accordance
with the court's previous rulln?."
Under this ruling neither Mr. Itlchards
nor Mr. Lynch could testify and. Admiral
Schley took the stand for the purpose of
correcting his testimony.
Molilpy Corroi'lK TcNtlitiony.
Tho admiral was suffering from a cold
and his voice was quite "hoarse. He began
his corrections nt the very first of his tes
timony. Most of theso corrections wero
of typographical errors or the changing of
words to mako sentences read more,
smoothly. In referring to his testimony re
garding the arrival of Harvard on May 27
with a dispatch from tho secretary of the
navy Informing him that "all of tho de
partment's information Indicated the pres
ence of tho Spanish squadron at Santlngo,"
which dispatch he had said had never
reached him' and therefore ho had never
seen It or heard of It ontll lcccntly, Ad
miral Schley corrected this portion of his
testimony by stntlng that neither his flag
lieutenant nor his secretary had ever seen
tho dispatch or remembered It. Hcfcrring
to his testimony regarding the rccounols-
sancb on May 31, tho admiral changed his
statement that "fifty, If not moro. shells
passed over tho fleet" to read that
'a number of shells passed over
the fleet." Ho also changed his
cvldcnco concerning suspicious move
ments In tho harbor of Santiago July 2 to
read ''that beforo dark t noticed In tho liar
bor a good, deal of smoko coming up." ,Tho
ofllclal record, ho aald, mado. nlm'say that
ho Raw tho smoko after dark.
Itellorntrn Uoim Mvunt to Ilnm.
Coming to his' answer to n question In
reference to his order sent below during
tho early part of tho battle to "Stand by
to ram," Admiral Schley emphasized his
former testimony by stating that "Thero
was a distinct Intent to ram on the part of
Maria Tqtcsa, Admiral Ccrvera's flagship,
nnd Vkcnya. He also reiterated- his conn
denco H Ilrooklyn's spee by stating that
"with ono'englne and all the boiler power
wo should have gotten up all Bpccd that
was needed." As to passing of the Flying
squadron by Ragle on tho morning of May
ID and .tho letter's conveyng the lnforma
tton that ihero was "No news," Admiral
Schley corrected his testimony wherein ho
said that he was not mistaken ns to this
by stating that ho might havo been mis
tukch. .Admiral Schley also corrected his state
incnt regarding his visit to the flagship
New York, when no naa inaao nts prcnm
lnary report of the battle of July 3 to Ad
mlral Sampson. Tho record, he said, did
not make tho matter quite clear. "The ad
mlral said to mo," continued tho witness,
"that I had omitted a very Important de
tall, which was to stato that New York
was present."
SlKNlire "( Con I Problem.
The witness corrected but one of his
aiiHwern to the questions of the court. This
question was to the effect that as ho was
ordered to -go -to Clcnfucgofl to "establish
a blockado was It not his duty, under the
circumstances, to communicate direct
either by signals or otherwise, with tho
captains of tho vessels returning from
Clnnfucgos and obtain from them all in
formation- regarding the situation at or
near that port. Tho anawor, as corrected
reads: ".The communication which he made
to mo through Eaglo Indicated that Captain
McCalla knew 1 was bound for Clcnfuegos
and I of course took it for granted it bo
had anything Important bo would havo no
tilled me ot the fact without my Inquiry.'
At this point Admiral Schley announced
that ho had no mora corrections to make
Captain Parker called the admiral's at
teutlon to tho evidence ot Captain Slgsbce.
In which ho bad said that when he went
on board Brooklyn the whole question, so
far ns ho could remember, was coal, and
nothing but coal, and that Commodore
Schley already hud made up his mind to go
to Key West.
"That was not the first question Slgsbce
asked mo at all," replied Admiral Schley,
"I did not say to Captain Slgsbco that wo
wero going to Key West,' aa the signal
will show. Slgsbeo was talking otv tho
subject ot coal, and .ehicc ho; mentions It
recall tho fact that his statement was ho
was commanding, a vessel that was ono
tenth ot a rollo long and that It could no
turn Its engines over under 160 tons o
coal a day; also that it could not remain
thero very long, that he would havo to go
to Koy West."
"Had you, aa a matter of fact, mado up
your mind at that time to go to Koy West;
"I had not."
lU'Comita Siiiiiiinoii Interview.
Admiral Schley then referred, to hiB con
versutlon with Admiral Sampson regarding
his Instructions about not bombarding for
tlflcatlons as follows: "I ought to mention
In connection with the talk I had with th
admiral In relation to bis instruction a,bout
r.ot bomfiardlng fortifications, that I recall
the fact that ho and I were talking about
the guns .that wero probably thero and
asked him whethorahe knew It they were
Hontorla or Krunn guns. Ho said 'proba
bly botV and that recalls the clr:umstanco
to mo again In relation to tho testimony of
Lieutenant Hoys"
i Judge Advocate I do not think tho pur
pose of calling the witness to revise his
testimony Is to enable him to contradict
witnesses who have been on the stand.
Mr. Ilayuer Ho can contradict any wit
ncss if wo want hlra to do it. That is
remarkable statement. Your wltuesse
have a right to rebut ours and we havo not
a right to answer them. Mr. Roys was an
entirely new witness and he testified
something new. I asked the question If w
would havo the right to call up wttnems
to contradict new wltneties and tho court
said of course we would: otherwise w
would be barred out entirely.
Judge Advocate I think as Lieutenant
AT O P. 31.
noys Is the only witness who remained un
contradicted, I havo no objection to make.
Sehli'j ri'rinltlnl to Proceed.
Admiral Dewey The court has no objec
tion to the admiral's reference to Lieu
tenant Roys.
Admiral Schley I merely wanted to say
connection with Lieutenant Hoys' testi
mony that I heard nothing of the protest
hlch ho speaks of of the desire of Lieu
tenant Sutherland to coal. I am quite
sure he Is mistaken about that, because It
ould havo been lmposslblo that day for
that ship to coal.
Admiral Schley was then llnally excused
nd Captain Lomly offered n largo number
f documents as evidence. Tho report of
Captain Goodrich on cablo cutting was ob
jected to and Captain Lemly withdrew It.
Among ' this documentary ovldcnco was a
letter of the secretory of the navy to tho
president of the senate, In rcsponso to the
senate resolutlonof January 3, 1809, sub-
Ittlng facta nnd military records affecting
thi proposnl that certnln otllccrfl In the
navy bo advanced according to the nom-
nations sent to the senate on December
1S!8. The proposition of Captain Lemly
Introduce thin letter as evidence oc
casioned several discussions, Mr. Itayncr
objecting to nny ex parte statement being
made n part of tho record. It was finally
decided that tho letter should not go Into
tho printed record of the case, but that It
may be referred to In tho course of argu
ment.
."it miiimim'k ,iiiui Amtln linnlyed.
Captain Parker stated that there wcro
two letters among this documentary cvl-
ence, one ot them being n criticism ot the
conduct ot Admiral Sch'.cy by Admlrnl
Sampson. "'We object," ho said, "unless
e can bring Admiral Sampson to tho
land."
Captain Lemly said ho challenged him to
produco that letter front Admiral Sampson.
This Captain Parker did, but Captain Lcmly
tatcd that It waj not ombracod If that
part of tho documentary evidence ho de-
Ired to Introduce.
Ucforo taking the usual recess for lunch-
con Mr. llayncr offered In evidence, tho
commission of Admiral Schley nnd when
sked If ho nnd any objections to It going
ii. Lcmly replied, "Nono at all," but called
attention lo the fact that It was n commls-
lon dated August 10, IMS, iss'ued during n
recess of congress, nnd that the words
nominated by and with the ndvlco and
consent ot the senate" wero stricken out.
It will uppcar, of course," snld Captain
Lcmly, "exactly ns It appears here."
Captain Parker This commission was Is-
tied under the law that authorized It, "for
gallant conduct In battle."
In reply to a question by Admiral Dewey,
aptatn Lcmly said: "It la signed by the
president! It was a recess appointment,-
but the court will remember thut none ot
thoso adopted In the Interim was con
firmed by the senate."
Admiral Dowey It Is valueless If it has
ot been confirmed by the senate. It can
go in, hut It has no value, of course. At
this point the court took a rccojs until 2
'clock.
Minimi 0ienn the ArKonient.
Kvhcn theVcourt convened nftor recess
Admiral Dewey handed to Captain Lcmly
and tho latter read the following announce
ment: "The court slates that while 'It 'has
ndmlttcd (o Kb record a document pre
cnted by counsel for the applicant, which
was Issued to the applicant by tho presl
dent of tho United States on August 10,
1S98, the court does not recognize such
doetim'ont as tho commission under which
the applicant holda hla present office In the
nnvy."
Immediately after tho reading of this
Htatcment the argument In the case was
begun, I. P. llnnnn, assistant to Judge
Advocate Lemly, opening for ,thn govern
ment. Mr. Milium began his presentation
of the caic by referrjug to tho fact, that
n May, 18fS, tho coast of the United States
was 'mennced by tho Spanish fleet. This.
ho said, was a critical time. Tile seaboard
cltleK .were exposed to attack. Military
operations wcro pending for the rellof ot
Amerlcn, but they could not bo carried out
whllo the whereahoutH of tho Spanish fleet
was unknown. Mr. Hnnna told of the nr
rivnl of the flying squadron at Key West
nnd read a number of preliminary ordors
to Commodore Schloy.
Speaking of the run ot tho flying squad
ron from Key West to Clcnfuegos, Mr.
Hanna claimed that tho trip was not mado
as expeditiously as possible. He cited tho
fact that Iowa, which went by way of
Havana, made much better time.
Continuing Mr. Hanna related tho par
ticulars of tho meeting between Commodoro
Schley nnd Cnptnln McCalla as tho former
wan on his way to Clcnfuegos. "Cnptnln Mc
Callo," he sold, "did not know that Commo
doro Schley was on his wny to Clcnfuegos,
whllo Commodoro Schley did know that Mc
Calla had been there Under ouch circum
stances," ho continued, "tho ordinary rules
governing tho Intercourse betweon senior
and Junior officers did not pertain.

The mcotlng with Captain Chcfeter of Cln

A school girl In Springfield, Mass,, writes,
"I wonder If you enro to hear from school
girls, and I wonder, too, if you havo any
Idea- how many girls there are who aro
troubled as I was beforo I used Grape
Nuts Food.
About a "year ago" I began to havo severe
headaches and could not slep well. Was
so nervous that I would cry at the least
Ilttlo, thing, and finally began to have at
tacks" of falntness. My parents were much
alarmed and thought I would bo obliged to
give up studying. Our physician tald my
troublo was extreme nervousness and a
disordered stomach.
I wbb tired all the time and rode home
from school because- I did not feel able to
walk. Mother tried to tempt my appetite
In cvory way. Urcnkfast I did not caro for.
Meat I could not endure, and the different
cereals I did not like as a rule.
I attended the high school and we huvo
an excellent lunch room In the building.
As I kept getting worse Mamma said 'I am
going to try this Grupe-Nuts Food that I
sco advortlsed, but I am afraid you will not
like It.' Well sho got n package of It and
It wbb so delicious In 'taste, with a little
cream poured over It tnat 1 liked It nt once,
and since then Grape-Nuts has formed tbo
principal part of my breakfast. I havo also
a banana or orange with now and then an
egft.
I wish yQii could seethe difference-, In me,
I cannot tell how much I havo galucd In
weight for I did not know my weight when
I was III, but the difference Is great. Ab
for strength, I walk both ways to school and
do not feel at nil weary from It.
I can study much better nnd am entirely
free from headache; I am so well, in fact,
that I am very happy. I fall asleep almost
as soon as my head touches the pillow and
rest thoroughly.
I am afraid my lottcr Is lengthy, but my

The mother adds to this letter, "I wouia

n
aboard llrooklyn and the flying squadron
detained fur an hour and twenly-flvo tnln
titrs to permit a conversation with him on
the part of the commodore. This incident
was contrasted with tho dcUy In proceeding
to ClenfuegoB.
Mr. Hanna also referred to tho arrival at I
Clenfuegos, speaking of tho reports o gun
heard by Admiral Schley nnd of tho meet
ing with the Ilrltleh steamer Adula. Mr.
Hanna then read tho order of Admiral
Sampson to Commodore Schjcy, dated May
19, 1898, relnstructlng the latter to take
teps to prevent tho enemy continuing work
on tho new fortifications at Clcnfuegos.
e lentro In Done.
"It dee? not appear," continued Hanna,
'that nny steps were taken to prevent work
on these new fortifications; In fact this or'
der was not, so far as tho testimony shows,
In nny wny regarded. No gun was fired at
Clenfuegos by the Flying squadron for any
purposa except by Captain McCalla, and ho
obtained permission to knock down n block
house some miles from the entrance to the
harbor."
Ho discussed the question ot McCulln'a
signal codo for communlcntlo'i with tho
Cuban lnsurgcntn on tho shorn nt Clenfue
gos at om4 length. Ho contended that Ad
miral Schley should himself have taken tho
Inltlntlve In ascertaining the presence nr
nhsenco of Insurgents without waiting for
signals from anyone.
(IticMloit of llloeknile,
Mr. Hanna took up tbo question ot the
blockade at Clcnfuegos. He read from tho
official documents lo show that coaling was
a practicability and that It was continu
ously going on at the tlmo reports rcgnrdlng
Its Impracticability were made, He pro
ceeded to follow tho operations of the fly
ing squadron nnd quoted a number of Ad
miral Schley's dispatches. He said nt the.
time of leaving Clcnfuegos Schley was under
order No. 8, telling him It ho was "satisfied
that the Spanish fleet was not ot Clenfue
gos to proceed with all dispatch, but cau
tiously, to Santiago."
"How it was possible," said the speaker,
In view nf this order to report to tho sec
retary of the navy, as Admiral Schley did,
that he would not move until the. next day,
Is Inexplicable." Ho stated that whllo Ad
miral Schley had reported that he would
not leave until the 25th. he did not actually
start until the evening of tho 24th.
Mr. Ilanna also quoted tho order direct
ing Commodoro Schley to leave Clenfuegos
beforo daylight of May 23 nnd said that as
this order had directed that It possible tho
squadron nhould leave before daylight of
that day, It should be construed as n mes
sage ot urgency. "Almost every word of this
message Imports haste nnd urgency," ho
said. "Hvldently." ho added, "the com-mandcr-ln-chlef
did not expect Commodoro
Schley to remain at Clcutucgos after Its re
ceipt. While Commodore Schloy was under
these urgent Instructions at Santiago, he
did not obey."
Respecting the order that the flying
squadron on leaving Clenfuegos should mask
Its movements, Mr. Hanna said that this
order wus not carried aut.
Siiiitiiinrlxe n Illn 1'nult-I'liiilliiK.
"Thla concludes the subject of the sped-
flcatlons,"- said Mr. Hanna. He presented
tho following points covering these specifi
cations, which, he said, he hud made in the
form of Inquiries:
First Why the flying squadron was dila
tory nn arriving at Clenfuegos.
"Second Why the squadron was held
there after the receipt of Sampson's order
written and dated off Havana, May 21, say
ing: 'Do nt Santiago May 21.'
"Third Why nothing was done to com-
munlcato A'lth the land forces after receipt
of memorandum dn May 23.
"Fourth Why order No. 6 directing thn.
Bteps be taken to prevent tho enemy from
continuing' wort on certain fortifications
was not obcycl
"Fifth Why ,'thc order directing tho
masking of the- inoveuientB of tho fleet on
leaving Clenfuegos was not obeyed.
"Sixth The nature and causes of cur
rent said to havo accounted for tho steam
ing nf tho ships, off shorn nt night, whllo
on blockade at Clcnfuegos,
"Seventh Why, after learning possibly
that tho Spanish squadron was not thero
and accepting this report as conclusive,
the commodoro sent official letter and tele
grams saying that he would not leavo at
once, but on the following dny.
"Klghth Why tho commodore falfcd to
report to any higher authority that lie actu
ally did leave Clenfuegos on tho evening
ot the 21th, If, as it appears, he did so
fall to report.
Slow to Seel.- nnttle Groom!.
"Ninth Why, Irrespective ot signals or
aids from nny source, the commanding
officer of the flying squadron did not, while
at Clenfugeos, of his own notion and with
the resources under his command, do some
thing to gain Information of tho Spanish
fleet."
Mr. Hanna took up tho third specification
of the report, concerning the cruise from
Clcnfuegos to Santiago. ' The testimony
was, he said, uniform to the effect that the
run was a slow ono nnd that It. did not
proceed with dispatch, as directed.
Mr. Hanna took up specification four, re
forrlng to the retrograde movement. He
Bald that In making this movement Com
modoro Schley had not only taken away
from Santlngo the fighting ships ot the fly
ing squadron, but also the Bcout vessels lo
cated thero by tho government to watch
the movements of tho harbor.
"During this tlmo," ho said, "tho gates of
tho hurbor wore left ontlrcly unguarded
nndtlt was not our fault that Ccrvera's fleet
did not get away without being destroyed.'
Mr. Hanna had not completed his nrgu
ment when the court adjourned for tho
day.
