Declines to Receive First Account of
Santiago Battle Written by Schlcy
Because Presence of New York Was
Not Mentioned ,
Washington , Oct. 31. The long or-
leal to which Admiral Schloy has boon
subjected since Monday morning
3iidod yesterday afternoon when his
jross-oxnmlnutlon was concluded and
10 was allowed to leave llio witness
itainl. When the judge advocate fin
ished the cross-examination the court
( impounded to the admiral thirty-four
liicstlonn prepared by the members of
the court. Those questions touched
many points of the campaign of the
Hying squadron , but mainly centered
about the dllllcultloB encountered In
coaling and the reasons for the retro
grade movement. Not one of them re
lated to the battle of Santiago. The
ludgo advocate's examination covered
Itanium. pcnry.
Tin- : count AT TIM : HCIU.EY INO.UIHY.
the retrograde movement , the recon
naissance of May 27 , the loop of the
Brooklyn and the alleged colloquy with
Lieutenant Hodgson about the Texas.
One of the most Interesting features
of the day was the development of the
fact that the report of the battle written -
ton by Admiral Schloy July C , 1808 ,
was not the original report. The ori
ginal report never has boon published
and In accordance with a previous de
cision , the court declined to permit
It to go Into the record. Admiral
Schloy was allowed to explain , how
ever , that Admiral Sampson declined
to receive the first report because It
did not mention the presence of the
New York.
"I felt that the victory at that time , "
said Admiral Schley , In explaining the
matter , "was big enough for all , nnd I
made this change out of generosity
and because I know If the Now York
had been present she would have done
as good work as anybody else. "
Captain Thomas Borden of the mar
ine corps , who was aboard the Brook
lyn , will bo the last witness called for
Admiral Schlcy. After ho testifies the
judge advocate will put on the stand
the witnesses In rebuttal , of whom
there arc understood to lie about fif
teen , and It Is possible that Admiral
Schley's counsel will call several wit
nesses In sur-rebuttal.
The Suppressed Report.
The suppressed preliminary report
made by Admiral Schlcy is dated off
Santiago July 3 and is addressed to
Admiral Sampson , the coniniandor-ln-
chlef of the North Atlantic station. The
report in substance describes the com
ing out of the Spanish fleet from the
harbor of Santiago and calls attention
to the fact that signals were made to
the vessels of the American fleet ,
which were obeyed by all the ships. It
then proceeds to describe the fight and
gives briefly the part played in it by
each one of the ships , showing that the
Brooklyn , the Oregon , the Ttfxas and
the Iowa remained In action until the
Vlscaya went ashore , and that the
Colon surrendered to the Brooklyn and
the Oregon. The admiral commends
the bravery of all the American officers
and crews engaged In the fight and
recommending the commanding of
ficers for gallant and meritorious con
duct and for the superb handling of
their ships. Then follows some rout
ine matter giving the Spanish losses ,
the Injuries and casualties to the
Americans. It recommends that the
commander have the commanding of
ficers transmit to him ( Schley ) the de
tailed reports of the engagement , In
order that he might write a full and
detailed account of the battle.
