4 PROCEEDINGS DURING THE PAST WEEK, Twenty-fourth Day. Five officers of the Brooklyn, Admiral Sehley's flagship, were witnesses before the naval court ot inquiry. Two oC them, Captain Cook iiml Lieutenant Couimund- er Sears, made additions to earlier testimony, wliile three, Commander X. V. Mason, executive olllcer; Lieut.

Edward Mc- Cnuley, signal ofllcer, and JLieut. Charles Webster, watch ofllcer, new witnesses. All the witnesses 'testified that Sehley was calm, cool and courageous during the battle. Captain Cook, the first on the stand, was asked about the uncoupling of the Brooklyn's engines, saying that he thought it had boon ordered by the com- mniKlcr-in-cliief in a bulletin. He was then asked whether the flying squadron had proceeded with all dispatch from Cienfuogos to Santiago, lie answered "No," but suid that if the i circumstances were taken into account he would siiy "Yes." Those circumstances, he defined as the rouling conditions the time.

Bad weather, lie said, hud delayed the direct progress to Santiago before the retrograde movement. Lieutenant Commander Sours was then asked about a conversation on the Massachusetts, May in which he was alleged to have- said that it had been difficult to get Cohiniodore Schlcy up to thu point oC undertaking the bombardment of the Colon. He answered: "I do not recollect It ill nil. It could not be possible I said such a thing. They a misunderstood I said.

I was irritated at the delay. In the ward room talk something might have been construed in that way, us statements often are, but it is entirely impossible a I could have suid that. I was impatient, excited perhaps, it being my first engagement, and I might a a some a It is something some one might have misunderstood, Hint icmnrk I never made." "What do you mean by 'irritated at the delay'?" "Delay of not going immediately into this work." Commander Mason wns the next witness. After answering questions concerning tho hloukmlc he was asked by Mr, Raynur how many times he had seen Commodore Schlcy under fire, to which le replied: "During all (ho engagements." "What was his general conduct, manner a a i on these Mr. a asked.

"Excellent, in every a i a He was calm, collected and brave." lie then gave an account of Hip buttle of Santiago, as he saw it, a i especial attention to the way the batteries wore lie told of the Brooklyn's chase after a a man-of-war that proved to lie A i i a jiHt a the battle was over. In reply to a number of questions asked by A i a Duwey at'lci the a examination wns over, the witness Mild that beyond sending men aloft and having Captain McCnlla uo ashore, no cflort had been made by the fl.ung squadron to determine the Spaniards were in the harbor at Cienfuegos; thai he knew of no American ships being between the Brooklyn and the Spanish ships when the Brooklyn was i to starboard July 3, and that when the Spanish Heel come out of the harbor tho Brooklyn was nertr her regular blockading position, Which was 0,000 yards from the Morro. Tweiity-Uftli Hoy. The testimony ot eight witnesses, all ot whom had sen oil on the Brooklyn during the Spanish war and all oE whom were friendly to Admiral Sehley, was hear-1 by the naval court ot inquiry on the i day. Each of them, vip- on being asked, praised Sehley's conduct diA-iug the battle.

Those whose duties had given them the requisite knowledge added facts to help out the theories that are being developed to explain the slowness of the movement toward Santiago and the Brooklyn's loop i the battle. Of the witnesses five were ensigns and cine was a surgeon. Lieut. Charles Webster, who began his testimony the previous day, WHS the first one called. Upon questioning by Mr.

Iliinnn, he said that hu could not have distinguished objects on tho shore hue at night, "Could you see tho vessels on the inner picket line at night?" "Not i tho aid of searchlights." Lioutonnut Commander Gritllu was then called. lie explained why the Eagle had been senl away from the Heel, in order that hotter speed could be made. Then He was asked about a conversation he had with Schlcy prior to July 3 about the Brooklyn's going to Guantuuanio for coal, ills answer was: "In substance 1 mentioned the fact other ships of the squadron were in the habit of going to a a a for coal. The commodore replied that he had been asked on several occasions it! ho would like to go to a where he could coul quietly and give the otliccrs and men rest from the strain of blockade. He said that his answer was in each case that he preferred to remain on the station until the Spanish ships came out of tho huvbor." "During the Santiago battle were any cheering or encouraging messages scut umong the men that yon know of, by whom and what were they?" he was asked.

"One message which seemed to chocr the men below very much was that there were three Spanish ships on our utur- bonrd firing nt us." "Can you speak of thu conduct, bearing and manner oC Commodore Schlcy dnrius tlic engagement in Vihich you saw him?" "Ho impressed me as.being remarkably cool, considering a had just occurred. He was perfectly natural in manner and bearing." Twenty-Sixth Day. The examination of seven witnesses was concluded on this day, and that of the eighth, Lieut. B. W.

Wells, who served throughout the Spanish war iis Admiral Schley's ling lieutenant, wui started when an adjournment mis taken. The witnesses simply substantiated tcs 1 tiinony already given concerning the work the Brooklyn during tho battle of Santiago nnd the coaling arrangements of the fleet. They were: Commander Reginald P. Nicholson, navigator of the Oregon; Medical Director Charles M. de Valin, a surgeon aboard the Brooklyn; Captain J.

L. Hannum, retired, chief engineer aboard the'Brooklyn at the time ol tho battle; Lieut. Thomas F. Carter, Ensign W. P.

Cronin, Carpenter 3: B. Warlord, all of the Brooklyn; J. L. -ttanley, chief aboard the Texas, and Went. J.

J. Ryan, assistant engineer on the Brooklyn; Commander Nicholson -detailed the chnse'bl tne thfc race-along the shore and telling of the and tellli I position with regard to that ot the Span islv ships. He said he had not seen the Brooklyn and Texas less than a mile apart at any time during the fight, and that it would be impossible to state whether the Brooklyn or Oregon led in the chase. First one appeared to be in the lead and then the other. Dr.

De Vnlin said heihud observed the battle from the forecastle of the Brooklyn, and hud seen Sehley's bearing during the whole engagement. "His conduct," hu said, "was all that could bo expected. He seemed to know all a he was about, and was doing all he wished to do. lie was in perfect control oil the situation." The witness added thnt he had heard Sehley give tho order, "Hard helm aporl," and had not heard the words spoken by anybody else. In answer to a question from Captain Lemly, he denied ho had ever told anybody he hud heard 11 controversy concerning this order.

Chief Engineer Ilamium said that at no time was the Brooklyn in such a condition that the lighting of her tires could have been much delayed. Lieut. Carter, past assistant engineer aboard the Brooklyn at the time of the battle, said that at no time i the tight were her engines stopped or reversed. Ensign Cronin, who served as signal olllcer aboard the Brooklyn, testified concerning the voyage from Cienfuegos to Santiago and gave some interesting evidence about the engagement of 3. Ho watched the "loop" maneuver of the Brooklyn, and before it vas ordered saw the "Viscaya turn out trom shore, the impression created his mind being that she was going to try to ram the commodore's vessel.

After Machinist Ilanley had testified briefly concerning the slowing down of the port engine of the Texas i the battle and Carpenter Wurford had declared he had heard the order, "Stand by to 1 and had seen the Viseaya turn as it with the intention oT a i the Brooklyn, Lieut. Hyan wns called to the stand. He testified that he had been standing beside Yeoman Ellis when the latter was killed, and Admiral Sehley was cool tne engagement. 1'ressed on this point, he said the admiral was on the lighting side ot the conning tower all the tune, and he considered his homing admirable. Twenly-eiizlith A i a Sehley a i before the court ot i i through his attorney, Mr.

Uayuer, that he had received tho "Dear Sehley" leltei from Admiral Sampson a day earlier ill.in he had said ill his report to the I i Statist Senate. In that report he put the tune of receiving the as May 23, 1SDS. When confronted references to it- ill letters he himself had i he admitted that he had received it May This happened i Lieut. B. W.

Wells, who was A i a Sehley's Hag lieutenant on the BrooUui, was on the stand. Lieut. Wells i the stand most of the day, and his testimony was not finished when the com I a lie- fore he was heard, several witnesses were recalled for the correction ot their testimony. Among them were Ifraucis Cook, Capt. John L.

Hannum, Lieut. Thomas F. Carter, Knsigu W. 1'. Cronau and Chief Machinist J.

L. Ilunloy. Lieut. Wells' testimony began i questions concerning the battle of July 3. on the lines commenced last Friday.

Ke- gardiug the voyage ot the lljiug squadron from Key West to Cienfuegos the witness stated that he knew of no delay in its progress. When the question of dispatches was taken up a number ol' letters and dispatches received by A i a Sehley wore shown the witness. They were Admiral Sampson and from the Xavy Department, a late in May, and urging Admiral Scliley to stu-k to the Santiago blockade. A chart notations coneoriiiug the strength of thu shore butteries at a i a was also ex- i i Uospoctinu the correspondence while the (lying squadron was at Cientuc- gos, the witness stated Unit no special book letters was kept. He said the as vocehed, were i stamped and filed.

He never had any trouble i system in i i any letter the commodore a The witness also slated that never to his knowledge was a single paper lost. Mr. llanna exhibited to the witness letter dated May 30. anil written by Commodore Sehley, which contained a reference to tho dispatches that had been brought by tho and giving a general account of the operations of the i squadron. lie sought by this letter, as stated by him, to show that the No.

7 dispatch, known as the "Dear Sehley letter," was receive on the 22d of May and not the 23d. The witness said: "The conjunction of this letter and the changed indorsement in load pencil on the back of one of the dispatches would seem to indicate that the dispatch might have been received on the 22d." After the examination had proceeded along this line for some time Sir. Rayuer addressed the court as follows: "May it please the court, we admit that we got Xo. 7 by the Dupont (which, joined the flying squadron oft Cieufuegos on May 22, 1898), and we admit thnt we got No. 8 by the Hawk and the Marblehoad.

Now the trouble is about the other No. 7. Where did tho duplicate of No. 7 goV We cannot admit we got it by the Iowa, but we agree upon three propositions: The Dupont carried No. 7, the Hawk No.

8 and the Marhlehead No. 8. We admit the receipt of this memorandum from Cnpt. McCalla by the Hawk, but what have not been able to find out and cannot admit Is that tho Iowa carried No. 7," Sir.

Raynor turned to Admiral Sehley nnd asked: "You admit that, don't you, Admiral?" To which the Admiral replied: "Certainly, we admit it." In reply to questions by Sir. Hanna Lient. Wells said Hint while he could not repeat actual conversations with Commodore Sehley concerning the retrograde movement, he wns sure that movement was made because ot the Commodore's anxiety about the coal supply of the vessels' the fleet. He knew, said the witness, that the Spanish fleet was in- tho vicinity, nnd felt that it was not desirable to meet it without an adequate fuel supply. Twenty-ninth Day.

During seven' witnesses were examined, and iill told, some in a graphic and interesting manner, of Commodore's bravery under (ire and his constant thoughtfujness tot his men during-the battle' 'of 'Santiago. The evidence, while for the moat part corroborative 'of that of witnesses who have already been heard, was enlivened by several brilliant pictures of the sea fight and tjie surrender of the Spanish vessels. The attendance was much larger than it has been for some time, showing the increased interest being taken in the inquiry as it nears its close. The day's witnesses were Lieut. B.

W. Wells, Schley's Dug lieutenant; Yeoman Albert V. Mason, who kept the Brooklyn's log during the campaign; George R. Graham, AssociatcdPresscorrespondcnt aboard the Brooklyn during the battle; Dennis J. Cronin, Schlcy's orderly; Commander AVilliam R.

Bush, Lient. Edward Simpson, Assistant Engineer Fitzgerald, all of the Brooklyn. The most important testimony of the day was given by Correspondent Graham, who not only told the story of the battle but detailed two conversations at which he was present, both ot which will, it is believed, be of considerable importance iu a i i the court in its conclusions. One of these conversations took place between Capt. Sigsbee and Commodore Sehley aboard the Brooklyn on May 20, 1808, with reference to the rumor that the Spanish fleet was in Santiago harbor.

The witness swore that he heard this whole conversation, and that he distinctly heard Capt. Sigsboe tell the Commodore that the Spanish fleet was not inside the harbor. When Capt. Lemly sought to show that at the time this conversation took place Capt. Sigsbee was not a a that the witness was a newspaper a Graham answered that this w.is not a fact, and tli.it on the day the conversation took place he hud given dipt.

In this connection Graham said: "I was in the Commodore's cabin on the Brooklyn on July 3, when the conversation took place. When Evans came in the first thing lie s.ud wiis, 'Sehley, did you see Philip run away with Jic ami Comniodoie Sehley said, 'No, lu-ither did With reference to the Sigsbee conversation on the Brooklyn in front of Santiago the witness suid; "After Sigsboe had reached the quarterdeck of the gangway he stopped, and Commodore Schlcy said to him: we got 'em, The Captain said: 'No, they are not here.

Men Are BniHy Wanted to Man Gap Rear Admiral statement in his annual report that the United States navy has not sufficient men to man the vessels available and under construction, in case of war, is substantiated by an important statement prepared at the Navy Department. This shows thnt lack of men is responsible for the delay in commissioning the protected cruisers, Olympia and San Francisco, and will prevent the department from placing a torpedo boat flotilla in commission during the winter to accompany the North Atlantic squadron to the West Indies.

Besides the Olympia and the San Francisco there are other vessels which are laid np because ot lack of men. These include the battleship Texas, the protected cruisers Minneapolis, Columbia, Raleigh, Cincinnati and Baltimore, and a number of smaller ships nnd torpedo boats.

Gen. Leonard Wood, military governor ot Cuba, said in 'discussing Cuban affairs: "Cuba is a totally undeveloped. island, and has a great future. Yellow fever iu another a will cease to be epidemic. We have not had a single case of yellow fever at Ilavnna this summer, and none' in eastern Cuba for two years past.

Cuba's resources- require capital for development. The last enormous sugar crop was raised on 8 per cent of the entire sugar producing lands. We hare $1.500,000 in our reserve fund and can pay all our debts and get out Of Cuba within the next eight months. We have established flourishing schools. Two years ago we were obliged to provide over 100 orphan asylums to protect the destitute children.

Since then we hare abolished sixty, and expect to be able to close more before we retire from the management of the Cuban affairs. Our troops have been well cared for, and their health compares favorably with that of the troops in this country, showing the island is healthful."
