SCHLEY COURT HEARS TECHNICAL EVIDENCE DETAILS LONG DRAWN OUT OF THE BATTLE OF BANTI- AGO HARBOR. ,7 Hodg*oo Defend* Schley. 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.
