Washington , Oct. 26. When the
Schloy court of Inquiry adjourned yes-
tordny Admlrnl Schley had not com
pleted hlu testimony In chief. Ho
took the stnnd about 11:30 : o'clock ,
after former witnesses had been recalled -
called for * the purpose of making cor
rections and additions ) to their
testimony , uiul continued his utnte
mont until the court ndjourncd at
1:40 : p. in. This adjournment 20 mln
utes In advance of the usual time was
due to the fnct tbnt the admiral's
throat had become somewhat sensitive
us a result of his continuous talking.
The day was a notable one in the
court. By Inrgo odds the largest crowd
hat hns yet attended any of the ses
sions wns present nnd Interest wns
manifested throughout the proceed-
ngs. Long before the beginning of
the morning session all the sents re
served for visitors In the court room
were occupied nnd the greater portion
of the spnco In the rear of these seats
wns covered by men nnd women stand-
ng. They not only stood on the floor ,
but upon window sills nnd tables , ntul
vcn the nido elevator machinery In
thnt portion of the hnll wns covered by
men. On only one occasion wns there
nny effort at applause , nnd this wns
suppressed bcforo It had reached nny
magnitude.
Contradicts Hodgson and Potts.
The chief event of the dny wns the
admiral's relation of the events of July
3 , when the1 American fleet sent Cer-
vorn's squadron to the bottom of the
sen or to the bench. He told his story
of this historical occurrence in plain
words nnd in unaffected style , but the
narrative was straight-forward nnd to
the point. Indicating close familiarity
with all the phases of that event. He
said thnt the Brooklyn had for a time
sustained the fire of nil four of the
Spanish ships nnd nlso the flro of the
Spanish land batteries. Explaining
the historical turn of his own flagship ,
the Brooklyn , he said that she hnd not
approached to within COO ynrds of the
Texas nnd that be had never con
sidered that vessel In the least danger.
He also said In response to nn Inter-
rogntlon from Mr. Raynor that he had
never during the battle engnged In any
colloquy with Lieutonnnt Hodgson
nnd thnt ho had not used the expres
sion attributed to him by Hodgson ,
TJila rnfflrs to the allaced collonuv
n which the admiral Is alleged to have
said : "Damn the Texas. " Admiral
Schley also gave details of the recon-
nolssance of May 31 , when the Crlsto-
bnl Colon wns bombarded. In this con
nection he denied the statements nt-
trlbutcd to him by Commander Potts
of the Massachusetts.
Describes Battle of July 3.
Admiral Schley began his descrip
tion of the battle of July 3 at 2:30 :
o'clock.
"On the morning of July 3 , " ho said ,
"the day broke beautifully. At n quar
ter ot nine my orderly reported to me
thnt signal hnd' been made from the
flngshtp to disregard her movements
nnd thnt she hnd gone enstwnrd. I
cnme on deck with my glnsscs , after
having gone below for a little while ,
and whilst I was sitting abaft on a
hatchway I heard a call from the
bridge : 'Tell the commodore that the
fleet Is coming out. " That was some
time after the men had been called to
quarters , about 9:35 : o'clock. I looked
over the starboard side and saw the
enemy coming out of the entrance of
the harbor. The New York was out of
sight nnd out of slgnnl dlstnnce. I
whnt my position In the notion was to
be. If the vessel was not out of sight
I should not have made a signal. In
the meantime Mr. Hodgson sang out ,
Commodore , they are coming right at
us. '
" 'Well. ' I said , 'go right for them. '
"The Brooklyn , as well as the other
vessels of the squadron , charged Im
mediately Into the entrance , In accord
ance with the original plan of seek
ing the enemy's ships In the entrance
or driving them nshore. The first gun ,
I think , wns fired by Lieutonnnt Simp
son , almost directly ever the forecas
tle of the ship. I saw tne leading ship ,
which apparently ha } started with the
Intention of ramming , take a turn
ahead to the westward. It then be
came apparent that the Spanish fleet
had succeeded In passing the battle
ship line. A new feature of the fisht
became immediately apparent. Cap
tain Cook gave the order to port helm.
I did not. I should have done it in a
second. I never saw the ship turn
more rapidly than she did at this
time. Her turn was absolutely contin
uous. Wo passed completely around
the circle. The least range that was
given was 1,100 yards. During the
turn Mr. Hodgson very properly made
some allusion to look out , perhaps , for
the Texas , but there was never nny
colloquy of nny chnrncter between Mr.
Hodgson nnd myself.
In the Thick of It.
"Before we turned the leading ship
was nbenm nnd when we turned about
she was ahead of us ; that Is , on the
starboard bow , and nil fdur ships and
the forts were llrlng at the same time ,
and from that moment the following
tea or fifteen minutes were the most
furious part of this entire combat.
The roar of projectiles was one of the
things thnt can bo beard only once In
a lifetime and then iiovo ; forgotten.
It appeared nt thnt moment thnt all
four of those ships were at work
upon the Brooklyn , and up to tli'o mo
ment of turning , so far as wo could
perceive , there was not the slightest
evidence they hnd oven been Injured. _ ,
When wo hnd completely turned ' v.
around on a westerly course I saw
the Oregon breaking In through the
cloud of Hinoko. 1 hoisted the signal
of 'close up' and then 'follow the Hag , '
feeling th.at a now disposition was
necessary. That signal was replied to
and I saw It repented. These two
ships , the Oregon nnd the Brooklyn ,
wore firing In n manner I had never
eon before. I never before realized
what rapid Run flro meant. Both
hips were at the time a sheet of flame.
Soon after that 1 saw that the loading
ship was evidently battered hard. I
saw Hinoko coming out of her hatches
and snld to Captain Cook , who was
constantly at my side : 'Wo have got
one. Keep the boys below Informed
of all the movements. They cannot
see and they ought to know. ' And ha
did so throughout the action. It ap
peared to be a very short Interval of
time after that that I saw a second
ship on lire , which proved later to bo
the Oquondo. She evidently had suf
fered very severely and started Im
mediately Iu shore , leaving the Vis-
caya and the Colon. The Vlscaya Im
mediately took a leading position on
the bow , and I thought for a little
while that she would perhaps outfoot
us. The Colon worked In shore und
the time between thu dropping out ot
nction of those two ships until the \
Vlscnyn turned In shore was a period p
of perhaps 30 minutes. "
When Ellis Was Killed.
The admiral's voice lowered ns ho
spoke generally of the shocking sight *
whou 13111s wns decnpltntod by a shell
which spattered his brains and blood
upon the deck. "Some of It reached
me , " he said , nnd he saw Lieutenant
McCauley and a sailor pick the body
up and cnrry It to the side ns If to
throw It overboard. He cnllod to
them not to do Bo , that one who had
fallen so gnllnntly deserved a bettor
burial. Continuing the story of the
fight proper , the admiral described
how the Vlscnya had turned toward
the Brooklyn just before she went
ashore. As she turned he distinctly
saw the effect of a shot which then en-
tcrcd her bow , whereupon she wheeled
back and headed for the shore. As
she did so ho saw her raked fore and
aft by a big shell and she listed so
far over that be thought she might
turn turtle.
Brooklyn Somewhat Bruised.
Speaking then of the effect of the
Spanish fire on the Brooklyn , he said
It was so heavy that all the rigging of
the Brooklyn had been cut ; even the
speed cones had been shot away , one
of them nearly striking him ns ho
stood on the bridge. After the Vis-
caya hauled down her colors , the chase
of the Colon continued. The Brook

The result was the discovery that a
water tight compartment was full. It
was at first , thought that there bad
been an Injury to the ship below the
water line. After that , however , the
speed of the Brooklyn Increased. The
Colon was gradually overhauled , and
he signaled the Oregon to try one of
her 13-Inch guns. Ho said he had sup
posed , until Captain Clark testified
otherwise , that the order had been re
ceived. The Oregon , he said , wns
abaft the beam of tlib Brooklyn , workIng -
Ing up a little occasionally during tbe
chase , but he did not think tbe two
boats were 500 yards apart at any
time. At 12:50 : the Oregon nnd the
Brooklyn opened , the former with her
13-Inch and the latter with her 8-lnch
guns. Suddenly the Colon turned her
nose In shore , fired n gun to leeward
and hauled down her flag.
