He also told, in reply to questions, of the presence of the collier Merrlmae and et the departure fiom Clenfuegos and the arrival at Santiago on the evening of Mar 20.

The witness also told of the fleets leaving Rantlsirn fnr Vav Was on the nlsht Of itS arrival at the former place, and of the fact that after steaming westward for a considerable distance, the vessels, all la response to Commodore Schley's signals, returned and steamed to within two or three miles of the mouth of the harbor, i What hiLonened to cause the decision to return to Hey West?" the witness was msaeo.

All we did was to follow the signals of the flagship the signals of the Commander in Chief." Sneakins of the conditions when SanrJss-a Harbor was reached the Rear Admiral said that he could see well into the harbor, and that he saw the Spanish ship Colon lying In the outer harbor.

He did not remember seeing other vessels, but the Colon was then 1.U00 yards beyond Morro Castle. The vessel lay there until she was fired upon on waj ox, ana uen re area. THE ENGAGEMENT OP MAT 31. Describing: the engagement of May IU Rear Admiral Hlgginson said It was on the day before the arrival of reinforcements, unoer near Aamirai (then Captain) Bamp-son. He said that Commodore Schley bad come aboard and said that he wanted to go and fire on the Colon." wnt and fired on continued the witness.

He said that the shots J'" short)f the Colon, and that the Span-txb shore bettsria hnrf In tun. rtt r- bombarding ships.

Where was Commodore Schley daring the bombardment? At one time he was with me fat the conning tower, but most of the time he was on tne outside of. tt. i was near him most of the time." i "Describe the Coeomodcre'e manner In this eruraremnt-M 1 hardly know how to answer that aues- tlon except to say that his manner was that 1 Of a Commander in raw The Judare AdTtwut iiwn unht Impression did the Commodore's manner in that engagement make upon, you?" Mr Kayner of counsel for Rear-Admiral 8chiey objected to this question, and after some contention the question was withdrawn. JUdre Advocst Lemlv a ttA ha. fore wtthdrawinsr the anntiaiL that mh.

Because If were not ordenxl to Aa so." replied Rear Admiral Higginaon. Later the wltnexs volunteered the mtntpmnnt: "I think tte Colon could nave been de- stroyea wnero jay at auichor that day." Rear Admiral Higglnson stated in, reply to questions from Capt.

Lmly that there were no written orders, and that, so far as he could recsJL the only verbal orders were to so In." The Judre Advocate then offered Rear Adsum. report or the Mb of August, saying the report had been made In line of duty. Judge Wilson of counsel for Rear Admiral Bchley said no objection would be made, but that counsel for the applicant OKI not desire tne unobjected i crprance of the report to operate as precedent. Cant. Lemly announced that he had no further questions to auk of Rear Admiral Hlermson, and counsel for Rear Admiral Schley stated tlwy had no- questions to ak.

It wu then stated by Capt. Lemly that the Court bad some Inquiries of Its own to make. These were written, and the fhf was eoncernlns; the elevation of the gun aorinir fnm DaanwranKni 01 ine i Ka om May nu The reply was that at first they were 7.800 feet, and. Utterly. 8.000 feet.

The next question was as to whether there was any lace of shelter near Santiago where the Flying Squadron could have, coaled after Us. arrival at Santiago? Admiral lneginnon replied that Guantanamo was my lorty mites to tne east. THE COURTS DISTURBING! QUESTION. The third question, comfneT as It did front the Court, created something of a seneatten which was Intensified by the reply. The question, was: Was every effort made by Commodore Schley to destroy or capture the Spanish warship Colon as she lay at anchor ia the harbor at Santiago, between the 27th and sist or May? -uoject, "oojeet." "Object." came from each of Rear Admiral Sehley's counsel, but befo-e a halt could be called the witness na replied.

No. I don't think It wss Tha question and the replv led to a lesal controversy. Both Judge Wllsoa and Mr. Rayner contended that the question called the opinion of the witness, Her ear only fact were admissible. Judge Rayner Inquired: Majr 1 ask the Court If, according to the method of procedure rhe Court has ruled that are not at liberty to object to ny question at au mat may be asked?" To his Admiral Dewev reoHedr While thla court Is ordered to rnrresft-ga(e all tha facts, we have the right to aak any que tlon thnt will bring out the facta One of the charge against Admiral Schley Is whether or not every effort Incumbent upon the commanding officer of the fleet, under such eircumstanccs, was made by Commodore Schley to capture or destroy the cruiser Colon aa she Icy at anchor in the entrance to Santiago Ilarbor, May 27 to 31 inclusive.

We have asked that fmestlon. and we have his Rear Ad. tnlrei Htgainsun's) opinion. Thie Court, by in precepts i. oc-uga to give aa opinion fpoti the conclusion of the Investigation.

Now. In tho opinion of the Court, and In order to form our opinion, we wanted Rear Admiral Higginson's opinion on that sub ject Juris Wilson understand that precept, reading It through from end te- end. to mean simply this, that there shall be an tnvesti-ratlon to get at the facts. And when you have gotten at the facts, then you express yoor opinions But you are not caUed upon, and. 1 must respectfully submit, are not permitted, to take somebody else opinion.

Tou luve a right to get all tne facts you er.n. and that Is what we want, but other wise yea will see at once that you mUrht bars a great variety of opinions and all the opinions of subordinates. In other words. tne precept does not can ror anywuy opinion except the opinion ofthls honorable Court. 2 Admiral Dewey In the opinion of one member of the court, and perhaps of the others, we do not ask his opinion, but for a statement of a matter of fact We ask.

-Was -anything done?" aonjfc say. iu your opinion. Judge Rayner made an extended argu ment, quoting many legal authorities, against the admissibility of opinions on the part-oe witneseea- He was still speaking when at 1 o'clock the court took a recess of an hour for luncheon. Promptly at 8 o'clock the court, was called to order by Admiral Mr. Rayner resumed his argument, contending that If testimony giving opinions should be admitted the Inquiry would be interminable.

If. for instance, opinions were to oe fatten as to the propriety of the loop made by the Brooklyn, practically the entire navy could bo summoned, as ail Its members were experts, ana eacn wonia nave nia opinion. Witnesses were expected, to-relate iwui too court to give opinions. JUDGE ADVOCATE'S VIEW. 'Replying.

Judge Advocate Lemly-qaoted the record the trial of Admiral Keppel. argulna; that tt was entirely within Um dis-creatlon of the court to decide whether the opinion of a witness who had been on- tha ground should be called for by the eourt. He thought, however, that the weight ox authority was against asking ihe.tplnlon or a witness. v- The Court then withdrew Its question ss to whether Commodore Schley bad done all mat couu do done to destroy tne voioit while that Teasel lay at anchor In Bantlago Bay. Ajiotner question put oy tne- voart was as to the distance the squadron lay out from Santiago.

The reply was that It was three or four miles out during -the day and two ttr threa at Tilirhf Ttene Admiral Hlgginson said that after the bom- BuxuDont oi stay ok no runner etiorr naa been made to destroy the Colon because ue vessel naa gone insiae tne naroor.

He had been told that the distance was to be 10,000 feet. i After the bombardment hjl nuurf Wooda said, the Spanish shore batteries conunuea to fire at the American ships. At this point he had gone forward, where he had again seen Commodore Schley. Did you then hear anv In structions given by Commodore 8chley after the bombardment? asked the Judge Advo- vwic The witness replied: "I'went unon tha superstructure to ask if we were going in sun going anv cwser.
