Tho lorn or deal to which Admiral Schley has been subjected since Monday morning ended this Afternoon, when his cross-exumlnntlon was concluded nnd he was allowed to leave tlie witness stand. When tho Judge advocate finished the cross-examination, shortly lifter 3 o'clock, the court propounded to tho admiral thirty-four questions prepared by the members of tho court. These ques tions towelled mnny points of the cam PrIrii of the flying squadron, but mainly centered nhout tbn dlfllcultle encountered in coaling nnd tho reasons for tho retro grndo movement. Not ono of them rc luted to tho battle of Santlngo. The Judge advocate's examination this afternoon covered tho rctrogrado move ment, the reconnaissance of May 27, the loop of Drooklyn nnd tho alleged, colloquy with Lloutenant Hodgson nbnut Texas. One of tho most Interesting features of the day was tho development of the fact that the report of tho battle written by Ad miral Schley July 6, 189S, was not the original report. The orlglnnl report never bn been published and, In nccordanco with a previous decision, tho court today de clined to permit It to go Into tho record. Admiral Schley wan nllowed to explain, however, that Admiral Sampson declined to receive the first report because It did not mention tho presenco of Now York, filnry KiioukIi for All. "I felt thnt tho victory nt that time," ad Admiral Schley In explaining tho mat ter, "wnf. big enough for all and 1 mate this change out of generosity and because I know If Now York had been present It would liavo dono as good work as any body clto." Captnln Thomas Dorden of the marine corn, who was aboard Diooklyn, will be the last wltnees called for Admiral Schley. After he testifies tomorrow the Judgo advocate will put on tho stand the witnesses In rebuttal, of whom there nro understood to be about fifteen, and It Is possible that Admiral Schley's counsel will call1 B0vera1,w)ltnegVes''Itisur-rebuttat. " The flrit question Captain Lcmly asked Vaa whether Iowa was with tho flying squadron at Hampton Roads when he gave the captains of the ships the verbal orders as to attacking tho enemy's fleet. Ad miral Schley replied that It was not. In response to questions ho sold that ho first fell In with Iowa off Clenfucgos. Captain Evans was then 111 and Commander Hogcrn was In command. He did not recollect whether he had communicated tho verbal orders to tho latter. Ha first haw Cap tain Evnns on May 29. Ho was then ques tioned an to bis conversation with Captain Folgor when tho latter suggested a circular blockade, such as existed nt Wcl Hal Wei. The admiral said he thought the fleet at Wei Hal Wei was lnrger than his and that there wero flanking vessels In that fleet. He was asked whether he did not con elder a circular bloekado with the vessels pointing In, as mobile as tho other form In that the ships could move either way by turning with the helm. Defend IIIm Tnctlc. Tho adml-al replied that ne thought a circular blockade, where all tho ves sols charged to the center, would produce confusion And Inevitably lead to a differ ent arrangement according as the enemy moved east or west. "The outcome," said he, "could only be moro or less confu sion, such as did actually occur later." Trio Hdmlral's Attention was called to Captain Folger's statement that tho lat ter had ndrlsed him to go In closer at San tlngo and his own statoment-ln-chlef that on the next day Captain Folgcr had slg oaled htm that they wero within raugo of tho batteries. The ndmlrul In reply changed the date of thn signal to a day later. He read Folgcr'a signal: "I think the forts may open nt this range." He said when Folger raado this signal tho squadron was In practically tho same posi tion as on tho day Folgcr testified ho had asked the admiral to go In closer. Wit ness' attention was called to his state mcnt regarding Santlngo, "Nor any ves sel entered or depnrtcd," and he was asked how bo knew this. Ho replied that he only know It because he nover heard of any ship gottlng In. On tho Cuban block ade when a Frenchman succeeded In got tlng through tho blockndo lino Into Havana tho fact had been widely advertised ns a great accomplishment. His conclusion, thereforo, was that none had entered. Coming to tho reconnnlsnnco on May 31. when the Spanish ship Colon wns bom barded as It lay In the harbor at Santiago, Captain Lemly naked Admiral Schley when lie nrst received nntlco that the com mandcr-ln-chlof would be nt Santiago. The witness replied that the notice bad come In tho dlspatuh brought to him by Cap tain Cotton, which wns dnted Mny 29. Thts telegram was, ho said, not received until May 31. Possibly, too, Now Orleans might have brought Information of the coming of Admiral Sampson, "Why dirt you wait two days after the discovery of the presence of the fleet In the harbor before undertaking your rccon notsaancesT" Tnkr Time In Conl. "For the rensou that 1 had used those two dnys for coaling the fleet for fear the enemy should come out." Relating the occurrences of the, bombard ment he recalled that Captain Hlggluson had asked after ho (Schley) went aboard Massachusetts that tho bombardment be postponed until after dinner; that he wurned some people to get off the turret: that Commander Potts had given notice that they were on the range, Ho did not recall, he said, the signal to not go In closer, but It wns possible that such a nig nal hud been sent and It had not been re Minted. It might be that it was with this as with other signals which had not been (Continued on Fourth Page.)
