Rear Admiral Schley is In accordance wHhJaw he having reached the age of 6 years It was generally remarked Jtbat he didnot look his age The formal proceedings of the day began wtth the retntrpduction of Lieutenant Bristol formerly watch officer on the Texas as a witness He was under cross Examination when the1 court adjourned last night and Rayner continued hlsques lions to day Rayner began his examination of Lieutenant Bristol with quee tions concerning the accuracy of thestad lajeter for the measurement of distances at sea He was asked if he would rather trust hl own visual observation for a yard range than the instrument The Vwltness stated that the stadlmeter was more accurate for distance below 4000 yards than above that distance At that distance he would make several observe tions for confirmation of visual observation The error he said became greater the greater the distance Could you give me asked Ha yner a point from which it is entirely reliable Yes was the reply at sero it is ab olutely accurate The witness considered the sextant much more reliable in measuring the distance between ships He had he said taken several observations Kith the siadt meter Just before the Spanish fleet came put of the harbor and had checked these with tbesextant He found the distance from theTdorro toJbe 8100 yards THB BLOCKADE OF CIENJRUEQOS Lieutenant Bristol was also questioned by

Commodore Schley it Captain Lemlyi replied that underpr vlous rulings of the courtthe readlhe of the signals were clearly inadmissible He however agreed that he would consul with Mr Rayner and if after this consultation the question including the reading of the signals should appear propery Admiral Taylor could be recalled andi the question asked To this Rayner consented and the court took a

present at a conversation between Commodore Schley and Captain HIgglnson In which the question of where the ship was to be fought was under discussion Commodore Schley asked Captain HIgglnson what position he intended to take He replied I thinkthe Conning tower Commodore Schley replied Yes I think tnat Is wisest Shortly after this CommodoTe Schley andhls staff the Captain and myself went down

Gloucester because that vessel was unarmored He said that he did not consider the New York Tin danger Rayner then read from a report by Secretary Long stating that on that day the New York had sustained the undivided Are of the shore batteries Do you still say in view of that statement hat the shore batteries did not amount to anything You asked my opinion the witness replied and have given it to you Admiral Dewey We dont want opinions POSITION DP THE BROOKLYN iAt the request nf Rayner the witness 4 made measurements from his chart to showthe distance the Brooklyn was from the Spanish ships during the light off Santiago The reply was The distance of the iOquendo from the Brooklyn taken from the chart Just before the turn Is 4600 yards the Maria Teresa S700 yards Taken from the chart when the Maria Teresa and Oquendo were about to run ashore which Ispractlcally the nearest point the Oquendo was 2800 yards from the Brooklyn and the Maria Teresa 30C0 yards Quoting Lieutenant Commander Hodgsons statement that the shortest range of the Brooklyns guns in the battle was 1400 yards and her greatest 2504 yards and referring to the fact that a number of the Brooklyns 5 lnch shells had struck the Spintsh ships Rayner asked a number ofquestlons for the purpose it showing thatJf the distance wasas great as the lhart shows and the guns were set for the Grange given It would haye been Jrompos albla for the shots to go to the mark Isnt it certain ho asked if the shots truck that the chart Is incorrect The witness replied The Maria Teresa and the Oquendo could have beep

Theditsnc between those two ihips3M impossible for me to zif TMOUOHT SCHLBV EXCITED What was the bearing and manner of Commodore Schley during the engagement of May 31et to which you have already referred ----His bearing and manner were those of a man who was suffering under extreme mental excitement of One who had a disagreeable duty to perform and performed it reluctantly and tried to get through with It as soon as possible Rayner then began his cross examinationexamination What do you mean by mental excitement I quoted conversations that I had had The first thing was the apparent anxiety of Commodore Schley about using the conning tower Secondly his stating that at a distance of five to six miles men stand Ine on the forward thlrteen inch turret were conspicuous objects Did the Commodore use the conning tower did not see the Commodore go into the conning tower To the best of my knowledge and belief he did not He was outside th conning tower and between the conning tower and the heavy plate that protects the manhole in the conning tower My preconceived idea of Commodore Schley previous to that occasion was so entirely different from the Impression I received on that day I concluded that he certainly was under a tremendous mentii etraln Have you ever been under any mental etraln In time of battle 1 have been scared Have you any other facts from which you base your statement to the court that he was laboring under mental excitement except the facts which you have given i Yes When Commodore Schley camo on board the Massachusetts he stated In distinct terms that he was going In to destroy the Colon The Colon was not destroyed When he left the ship he called it a reconnolssance drawing the fire or the batteries and developing their weakness or strength Do you gather from that that he wis laboring under great mental excitement From that and from circumstances have already stated from zny observation of him from the time he came on board the ship until he left Suppose you were made aware of the fict that when he entered Into that engagement he was under obligation to the Navy Department tg not engage batteries ifthere was any danger of the shore batteries crippling the ships would you say If you knew of that he was still laboring under great mcntaliexcltement I cannot answer that question Captain Lemly objected to the lntrodu6 tion of the Navy Departments orders as evidence but the Court dectded they could be put Rayner then asked concerning the weather on the trip from Clenfuego nd the witness MM that on May 3d If had been what Is

was within the apex of the river and donga fought magnificently and held their own All the men Scottish Horse perby shlres Yeomanry and Artillery unhesitatingly sprang into action formed a firing line

Then the Scottish Horse and the Perbyshlres charged the river and donga with fixed bayonets and with an irresistible rush cleared the Boers put Meanwhile the remaining Perbyahires on the British left and the Yetynanrip made a similar rush on the river by the drift and sent the Boers fleeing to the hills west of the river At the beginning of the fight the firing was so hot that it was impossible to use the British artillery but when the Boers began to re treat the guns rendered effective work A Maxim gun was served fearlessly by nine men of the Derbyshires all of whom were killed or wounded There were numerous instances of heroism on the part of the British officers and men After Colonel Keke wich had been hit he got up and stood by the guns refusing to take coyer and encouraged and directed his men The Boers lost heavily especially in the final charges They asked permission to re move the dead and a lull ensued while both sides were engaged in this work The Boera carried numbers
