WASHINGTON, Oct. T-TWe Schley
eourt of Inquiry today entered upon the
thirt •trai*ht week of the Inreetiratlon
of Admiral Schley’* conduct in the Span
ish war. ’.'a>
When the readinir of the Bchiey-Hod»-
»«n correspondence had been concluded
Captain, Lemley aaked Mr. Hodgson
whether his denial pt the colloquy between
htaaaelf and Commodore Schley had ever
bee* published entirely Mr. Hodtfson re
plied to the negative, saying that the last
parigraxh of his letter of denial had not
tee* printed. Thta paragraph referred to
the enefoenre of a newspaper clipping.
». Raynor began Na cros«-«aniiaa
tkW by asking Mr. Hodgson whether the
Marblehead bad hailed the Brooklyn when
th*, two ressels passed each other as the
Brooklyn was on her way io Cienfuegoa.
The witness replied in the negative.
The examination then turned upon
events about Qenfuegoa an 4 i* roP*F U>
Mr. RayriorS inquiry Hodgson detailed
theaa aVMgtb. O t •:
IB thia c<Huu.ct!on he said: ,
’*The Brooklyn did all she could. She
got into action just as quick as - steam
couftl carry her there. We continued fir
ing as soon a* the first gun on the port
bow could bear and we kept the port
baivery firing until she turned with port
helm through the arc. using the aft guns
untfi are got all the starboard guns to
bear. W* got around as quickly as we
couL with port helm until we almost par
aileled the course of the leading Spanish
vaasels. when the helm was eased and the
ably steered a coarse parallel wMh th*
Vtocaya which was then the leading ves
sel. although the Maria Teresa probably
was farther to the westward than the Vla
caya. Bh* wax standing at an angle Into
the shore. When we get around the smoke
was so dense nothing could be seen of
anything in the rear of us. The three
Spanish vessels we were then engaged
with were the Vizcaya. the 'Colon and the
Qqizrodo. The Viscaya was -about .iwgn
tyLfrve hundred ’ yards on odr starboard
bow*. the Colon probebl.- was a little for
ward of the starboard beam, the Oquendo
was abaft the starboard’beam. We- con
tinued In that direction, when I remarked
to Captain Cook that R seamed rather
lonely for us out there. He was In the
conning tower. He aakeu:
• •whytr rw*;. >’ - - . _
•I aaid that we were all alone with the
three Spanish veeaels, and it seemed that
it depended upon ua to knock them out.
At that time the smoke was so dense I
could not see anything, and I supposed
tbab the New York being wway. the
Brooklyn eras steaming ahead of the
slower veseela. He stepped otft of the
conning tower and exclaimed to me:
■Wlmt’a that off our starboard quarter*’
"I looked In that direction and saw the
heavy bow of a ship and said: That must
be the Massachusetts.’
‘No, it could not be the Mas
sachusetts; she has gone to Guantanamo.’
I said: ’ll must be the Oregon,’ and he
rtmtrked: *God bless the Oregon.’ I said:
•WeM. I am very glad to see her.’ The Or
egon waa.at that time about, I should say.
few or five hundred yards off our star
board quarter art full speed. We'Contin
ued in that position until the Brooklyn’s
speed begun to increase as we got up
■feata. and we probably drew a little
further ahead from the Oregon. She never
was that’close to us again as! remem
ber. The Oquendo, shortly after, fell out
and went ashore. Ths Colon gradually
drew ahead and also went ashore.
’’l remember very well the time that the
Viscaya blanketed her from our fire. This
chase was continued in that direction un
til when off Aecerraderas. the Viscaya
ported her helm and ran Inshore some
e-ven mites. After passing the Viscaya
we ft earned ahead and ceased firing. The
men wtra allowed to come out of the tur
rets. one at a time, to get a breathing
•pell, although, of course, all guns were
manned and everything ready, but the
gaining upon the Colon was very slow.
"At 11:15 when the Viscaya stood in for
Aecetadoraa. The chase was continued
then after the Colon. I knew it must be
six or seven miles away until we grad
ually began to gain. I remember keep
ing the state at work on her. although
the 1X660 yards would not register on the
stead tome ter I remember at one time
telling Commodore Schley that It was
within about 13.660 yards and my recol
lection is he told some one to signal the
Oregon to try one of her ’railroad trains.’
At any rate, shortly afterward, the Ore
gon fired one of her U-inch shells which
fell short. Then we tried with S-inch
shells and they fell short. The Oregon
was signalling to us the fall of our shot
and we signalled to her the fall of her
rtiot. We continued to fire with the Ore
gon.she with 13 and 8-lnch guna and we our
8-tacb guns. I remember seeing one of
the 13-tnch shells of the Oregon fall well
ahead of the Colon and one of our 8-lnch
shells apparently fell Inshore of the Co
lon. At that time the Colon ported to
beWn hard aport. Previously to this she
bad ported her helm once or twice ap
parently seeking a soft spot on shore.
She fired her lee gun and hauled down
het flag. I pulled out my wateh. It was
exactly l:tt. We then ceased firing and
slowed down and orders were given to
get out a boat. The captain was ordered
to go on board to carry terms to the
commanding officer of the Colon. On ac
count of steam having been cut off and
there being some trouble with the boat,
we were some little time getting the boat
out. In the meantime we had slowed and
as rapidly as could be accomplished one
of the cutters was finally gotten out, a
crew put tn. Captain Cook went In the
boat and boarded the Colon. I think he
probably bad a mile and a half to pull.
’’At any rate, we had our guna trained
on the Colon at thia time in case of
treachery or any act of that kind on her
port, although I saw her throwing breech
locks overboard. I did not suspect any
thing of that kind." •
Mr. Raynor: ’What was the bearing of
Commodore Schley during this engage
ment or any engagement in which you
saw hlmT*
”Hto bearing and manner, with respect
to an officer of his rank and station In the
naval service, were naturally those of a
commander in chief of a naval force on
I that occasion. The witness said the com
mander had occupied a place on the plat
form around the conning tower during
the engagement. This, he said, was a
position of danger as the commodore was
there always In full view of the enemy's
ships.”
"tt has been stated here,” said Mr.
Raynor, “that the Brooklyn ran 2,000
;yards away from the enemy's ships In
snaking her loop.'*
The witness repl’ed: "Any witness who
made that statement although he may
have stated what he thought had occur
red. was absolutely mistaken."
* How far did she go from the enemy’s
vessels T"-
t "She must have gone about 000 yards
to the southwest, as that is about the
tactical distance at that speed."
"Did thia turn Interfere with the Brook
lyn's ability to keep up her fire?"
"It Aid not. She continued to fire from
her aft turrets.”
Continuing bls statement in his response
to Mr. Raynors question, the witness
said that When hts conversation with Com
imsdore Schley had occurred on the Brook
lyn the commodore was standing on the
platform around the conning tower and
two or three feet from himself (the wit
ness) and that Captain Cook, a part of
the time stood in the door of the con
ning tower four or five feet distant. He
said Captain Cook had taken part in the
conversation. , •; * y,
Chart I* Admitted a* Being Wrong.
WASHINGTON; Oct. B.—After the usual
pyelUnlDaries in the Schley, ngval court of
inquiry today. Lieutenant 0. Dyson, of
the bureau of steam engineering of the
navy department, was .re-called to con
tinue his testimony regarding the coal
supply of Admiral Schley’s flying squad
ron at th* time of Its arrival off Santiago
harbor on May 26. 1898. He was broughtin
this morning at the instance of Admiral
Schley's counsel fqr the purpose of, giv
ing further testimony .concerning the
availsNUty of (he coal supply In charging
the ensmjr. . ’ ,
There was a special interest in Com
mender Wainwright s testimony because
of Ms prominent identlficafloh with the
Spanish war, and al>o because of the
fact that he is now superintendent of the
naval academy at Annapolis. During the
summer of I*3ir. Watnwright command
ed the converted yacht Gloucester, which
played a conspicuous part In the campaign
against the Spaniards In'the battle of
July 3d. bis vessel occupied a position of
extreme right of the American column
to'the east of the Indiana, and when the
Spanish torpedo boats Phrto* and Fvpor
came out o» the harbor, he attacked them
fearlessly and aided In their destruction.
He also was an observer, though at Wjb"-
tanre, of. (he battle between the big ships
of the two fleets.
Lieutenant Commander Hodgsen wax re
called. Xer the purpose of. coyreutinf er
rors in his testimony as printed la the
official record. He took occasion to
change some of the language of hla pre
vious testimony. One of the changes was
made in response to the question asked
yesterday as to why he had designated
as “A liar and a blackguard” the editor
of »<• newspaper .which had originally
printed the alleged colloquy between him
self and Commodore Schley. He said he
desired to alter the reply that he had yes
terday given to this Interrogatory. He
then said:
"I. of course, am very sorry that I ever
so far forgot myself as to write a letter
containing sUch intemperate language. It
was not written exactly for publication,
but under great provocation at the time.
In that letter I did not aoepse this news
paper of lying for printing that state
ment. In fpcL it was to absolve it from
lying that I gave the paper authority to
use mv name for the correctness of the
gist of that statement. The lying was in
the matter of fact that commodore dis
played such trepidation and cowardice
ori the Brooklyn the day of thgt battle
that he ran from the Spaniards and took
the Brooklyn to the southward and away
from the fight. In order to detract from
the credit of the fame of the commodore
in that battle; that they wished also to
detract from the credit of all the officers
of the Brooklyn on account of the glori
ous part she took in that day's fight. It
was the words to that extent I character
ized as lying. There was no lying in that
colloquy unless a man stuck to the verbal
correctness of th*' words. So I did not
characterize the paper as a liar for print
ing that ceUoqHJ.”*:
Lieutenant Commander Hodgson being
excused. Commander Wainwright was
called. Captain Lemley began his exam
ination by drawing from the witness the
fact that he had been a member .and lat
terly senior member of the board whloh
had officially acted In making the chart
showing the positions of the American
and Spanish ships at Santiago. The w.i.t
ness told how conclusions were reached
by that board. f
Mr. Raynor asked If It was true as had
been officially stated tn the report thkt
the positions were assigned from "known
bearings?"
The witness replied that that statement
was incorrect; that they were established
by estimated bearings. Most pf the posi
tions were ' he said, fixed by discussion
among the navigators constituting the
board, although Captain Chadwick was
before the board. The navigators had
done the best they could in placing the
vessels and had made it as nearly correct
as possible, so long after the engagement,
as had been stated by the board.
Asked by Mr. Raynor about the place*
assigned to the Brooklyn and Texas while
the former vessel was making her loop.
Commander Wainwright said he did not
consider them correct.
"For myself;’’ fie said, T was never
satisfied with the places assigned.”
"Who in addition to yourself was not
satisfied?” asked Mr. Raynor. “
"I would not like to say,” responded the
witness. "I knew that the navigator of
the Texas was not. for one. I think none
was satisfied except the navigator of the
Brooklyn and don’t know that he wns.”
lieutenant Commander Wainwright was
then excused and Lieutenant L. M. Bris
tol. former watch and division officer of
the Texas, was called He related the
Texas movements at Clenfuegos. when the
court took a recess for luncheon.
Lieutenant Bristol continued his testi
mony at the afternoon session. Speaking
Os the bloAade of Clenfuegos. he said
that during the day the ships were from
five to ten miles from shore, steaming tn
nearer at night, then going farther out
and returning nearer at daybreak.
He had. he said, observed signal lights
on the shore near Clenfuegua. but had
not understood them. With respect to coal
ing. he said that on one occasion, while
off Clenfuegos, Captain Philip had signal
led to the flagship that he considered it
dangerous to put the collier between the
Texas and the lowa, meaning by that that
it was dangerous to a collier to put It be
tween two battleships. regardless of
weather. He also told of the Injury to the
Texas in coaling while off Santiago, but
said it was not due to weather.
Admiral Taylor Telia of the Battle.
WASHINGTON. Oct. »• Notwithstand
ing today marks an important turning
point in the career of Rear Admiral
Schley, • being notified ,of the date of his
transfer to the retired list of the navy,
he was in his accustomed seat within the
railing of the Schley court of inquiry and
gave his usual attention to ths proceed
ings of the court.
The retirement of Admiral Schley Is in
accordance with law, he having reached
the age of 82 years. It was generally re
marked that he did not look hts age.
Mr. Raynor began his examination of
Lieutenant Bristol with questions con-'
cerning the accuracy of the stadimeter
for the measurement of distances at sea.
He asked if be would ratbar trust his own
individual observation for a thousand
yards range than the instrument. , •
The witness stated that the stadimeter
was more accurate for distance below
4.MW yards than above that distance. At
that distance he would make several ob
servations for confirmation of visual ob»
•ervattou.
Mr. Raynor said: "I will read you Com
modore Schley's report as to the blockade
off Clenfuegos. He says;
“’A line of blockade was established
about four miles off shore and at night
an inshore line was maintained consist*
ing variously of the Scorpion, Dupont
and Castine, the last named vessel ar
rived on the 23d conveying the Merrimac.’
If you are right the commodore has stated
what has not occurred when he says: 'A
line at blockade was established about
foAr tulles off shore at 2!*fi2-egcs.‘ That
is *ot a correct statement of the’CoTKms
dorn’s, b ft?”
vie statements I snsds are what I
thclrgkt and what I believe to be right.
I do not question other people's words."
"Now refresh your recollection with an
official report. The statements you have
made are that during the day time the
squadron lay off Clenfuegos some four to
six to ten miles; and during the night
from eight to ten miles. Without ques
tioning either Commodore Schley or your
self, when I read your official report, do
you still stand on your statement, about
six to teh miles?"
"I have to stand by my statement.”
At the request of Mr. Raynor the wit
ness made measurements from his chart
to show the distance the Brooklyn was
from the Spanish ships during the fight off
Santiago. The reply was:
"The distance of the Oquendo from the
Brooklyn, taken from the chart just be
fore the turn; Is 4,000 yards, the Marla
Teresa, 3,700 yards. Taken from the chart
THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 10, 1901.
when the Maria Teresa and Oquendo were
about to run ashore, whleh is practically
the nearest point, the Oquendo was 2,800
yards from the Brooklyn and the Maria
Teresa 8,000 yards."
Rear Admiral Taylor was then called.
In reply to a question from the judge
advocate as to whether he had observed
the position of the Brooklyn at the time
of the beginning of the battle, he said:
"Just before the beginning of the bat
tle I did, and on two occasions thereaf
ter."
"When the battle had been on about ten
or fifteen minutes my attention was at
tracted to the Brooklyn by my signal of
ficer, Captain Damson. He said to me that
the Brooklyn must be injured or words to
that effect, as she was dropping out of
action. I observed the Brooklyn heading
apparently about south or off shore. The
Texas was apparently lying still in the
water. I did not see whether she was
backing or not. The distance between
those two ships was impossible for me
to see as they were too nearly in a line
for me to judge of the distance between
them. I simply observed that there was a
bunch of ships ahead of me. not more than
a few .minutes later my attention was
again turned to the Brooklyn. She had
then proceeded a distance not over two
miles and not under a mile from the time
1 had seen her first and the second time
I saw her. as near as I could figure out
one and a half miles to seaward of our
column of battle. Afterwards she passed
into the thick smoke which was lying in
patches about. I took no further notice
of her. On these two occasions, however,
my recollection is very plain and the dis*
tance very near to what I stated."
Judge advocate: “Did you see Cervera's
vessels when they came out of Santiago
harbor?"
’’“Tee, sir.”
"What direction did they take first af
ter getting out and how far outside the
modth of the harbor were they when they
changed their .direction?"
"Their change appeared gradual, porting
their helms as they cleared the mouth of
the harbor and proceeding perhaps with
changes of course of one or two points
at a time until they were in line parallel
with the shore.”
"Did you observe whether there was
any attempt on the part of any of these
vessels' to ram any of the vessels of the
American 'Squadron?"
"I observed that there was no such at
tempt.”
“When the judge advocate had conclu
ded his interrogatories Mr. Raynor began
his cross examination with an effort to
Introduce certain signals which had pass
ed between the Indiana and Admiral
Sampson s flagship, the New York, in the
early morning of July 8. 1898, Captain
Lemley made immediate objection and
Mr. Raynor presented an earnest plea to
be allowed to read the signals. He was
not permitted at that time to do so. but
it is understood that the signals which he
desired to introduce as having been sent
from the New York to the Indiana were at
6:15 a. m. on that day and was an invi
tation from the flagship to accompany
her to Siboney while the response was a
declination to do so. The admiral’s Invi
tation as wig wagged by Captain Chad
well, was as follows:
"The admiral wishes to know if you
will join him Ohls morning in going to see
General Suafter?”
Captain Taylor replied at 8:37: ork
sboardshlp, previously going on. prevents
me from going with you today.”
Mr. Raynor contended that the signals
were among the most important occur
rences during the day.
Captain Lemley replied that under pre
vious rulings of the court the reading of
signals was clearly inadmissible. He how
ever agreed that he would consult with
Mr. Raynor, and that If aftef this consul
tation the question including the reading,
of fihe signals should appear proper, Ad
miral Taylor could be recalled and the
question asked.
At the afternoon session of the court
Admiral Taylor said that on the morning
of the battle of July 3, the Indiana'had
signalled:
"The enemy is escaping.”
The Indiana Was, he said, at that time
always bleared for action/ He had. he
said, personally seen the Brooklyn while
on her southern detour, commonly known
as the loop. The witness recounted the
signals made by the Indiana during the
battie. He rfjso bad seen signals from
other ships during the battle, but he did
not recall what they were.
Mr, Raynor also questioned the witness
as to the relative value of stadimeter
and the sextant in ascertaining distances
at sea. He said he regarded the stadi
meter Accurate to' ;the extent that it is
uked.
By the court: “Was the Indiana in such
position with reference to the Brooklyn
and ttys enemy's ships just after they
cleared the entrance of the harbor that
you could fortn a fairly correct estimate
of ttie distance between them?”
The reply was:
”‘At tile time mentioned there was but
two occasions when the smoke permitted
me to see the Brooklyn distinctly. I
could not therefore say what was the
difference between the enemy and the
Brooklyn just after the Spanish fleet came
out of the harbor.”
PRICE ?F~LARD GOES WAY UP.
Pork Has Advanced and Price* Are
Higher Than in Ten Year*.
According to local packers the price of
lard in Atlanta Is higher than it has been
for ten years. Hams and side meats are
also way up, although at present they are
said to have a downward tendency and
there is nothing alarming about the mar
ket.
L*rd today is quoted at 10% cents, a
pound and only a few weeks ago was
111-8 cents. Although steadily but slowly
declining in price the packers say that
even now it is very high.
The choicest sides are worth today 10%
cents, where in August they were selling
at 91-4 cents. Beef and mutton are said
to be fairly cheap for the season and will
not probably advance for some time to
come. •
The high prices prevailing in pork and
lard are said to be due to the fact that
during the summer many portions of the
west underwent severe drouths and thou
sands of hogs were marketed when not
full grown. This created a scarcity in
hogs available for sides and that scarcity
resulted in high prices.
Within a few weeks farmers all over the
country will begin marketing their hogs
and this will tend to reduce western
prices in order to meet competition. The
packers aay that there is nothing very
abnormal about the condition* and that
high prices are only temporary.
SMASHUP AT MONROE.
Two Engines and Fifteen Cara Were
Wrecked On Seaboard Air Line.
MONROE, N. C., Oct- B.—ln the wreck
on the Seaboard Air Line near here yes
terday afternoon four men were killed
outright, one fatally ‘ Injured and four
others are slightly hurt.
The dead are:
Claude Dickett, engineer, Raleigh. >
Negro trainman, name unknown.
Two ’romps who were stealing * ride.
The Inlured are:
Bun Mitchell, negro trainman, injury
thought to be fatal.
Jasper Davis, fireman, badly bruised.
Engineer Maxwell, slightly bruised.
Fireman Ned Anderson, colored, slight
ly bruised.
The train was No. 507, southbound, and
consisted of 60 cars, pulled by two en
gines. When about two miles from this
place, after attaining good speed, the en
gine jumped the track, rolling down an
embankment about 15 feet higa, while the
next engine turned across the track and
fifteen cars were piled upon it.
The bodies of-the dead men are still un
der the wreck, but the work of extricat
ing them has been carried on for several
hours, and the bodies will be removed in
a short time.
That a single person on the engines es
caped instant death is a mystery, as the
cars are piled upon each other and several
are torn into splinters.
