Today ?L-;irlet and blue-coated foot troops and hussars an.l dragoons in .-ueir red and yellow slashed uniforms were grouped about it. and in the sunshine of-bright ir..:.rning the picture was an inspiring •one.

The point was : sought to be made- that to make this sail of sixteen miles would re quire greater speed than three knots an hour, which witness had *,testified': was made,^ but Capt.

J "Admiral Higginson. who preceded you on the stand," said Mr. Rayner.- "testi fied that . the blockade of Admiral Schley cruised nearer at night than \ day.

Certainly it is -possible for me to be wrong. I want to state that I am here to answer questions .: pertaining to this testimony, and not to have-words made in that way. as though. I had made the | assertions." Mr. Rayner. announced his cross-exam . ination closed, and I the witness ! was re examined by Mr. Hanna, assistant^ judge advocate. "" -- .--. T- • Mr. Hanna asked whether it is practi cable in times of urgency to make log entries of signals. The witness replied \ that ]It was not practicable \ for the per son who usually made suca entries :-to put them '■ down at that time. It wad necessary to write them cut later, he said, trusting to memory. He also stat ed that it was impossible for him to have knowledge of signals from the Texas, as Capt. Philip usually' managed the ship, personally. COALING SHIP. "Is it." asked Mr. Hanna, "a more : critical matter to coal ship in the open, ; with a battleship, on either, side, than j ■with a . ship only on one side?" '"Decidedly." was" the response. Capt. Parker here asked: "You did some coaling on the 27th and 28th of May?" "On the night of the 27th and morning Of the 2Sth~" . ' "Did not, in the course of the coaling, the collier spring a leak : because of a collision with the Texas?" - . ' . "You could not call it springing a leak. The plates were indented, and in the .Tex as a very Irtfle water came creeping through.". \ -Though the sea at that time was bad. enough to cause these vessels' to eo!lide?" 'The inference, sir, is ' quite wrong. That was due to a float which we put in between the vessels and did not notice that it was just abaft the armor belt. The float consisted.of square timbers." . "'That would have been worse In a worse sea; and it was bad enough in that "sea?" _ . - ....;. "Experience told it was not necessary to -use that sort of thing." r' "You did not have as much experience then in coaling as you have had since, did you.?*' . "With that sort of sea. yes,- sir." ... By the Court—What was the state of the sea when the Texas. coaled on May 27, as compared with the state on the 26th r- . " "The weather was smoother somewhat, I believe, more favorable." This concluded Capt. Harber's testi mony and he was excused. ' — HI6GINSON RECALLED. Admiral Higginson then was recalled and questioned especially concerning his statement ;of yesterday that the fleet was only two or three'miles out from San tiago' harbor. " He .modified his statement by saying that during the first portion or the blockade the fleet stood out farther, probably five "miles by'"day and four miles by night. He > conf. ss v< ver, that after three years his m. ,ry - was indistinct. In reply to a question by Cart. Farker, the witness said that with 800 ton's of coal aboard the Massachusetts could have steamed 2,500 miles or could have re mained on blockade duty for about twelve days. By Capt. Parker—Then after twelve days you would not have been able to get anywhere? "No; we would not.'" "Did the fleet after the 29th of Alay ever go off a distance of twenty-live miles?" "I don't remember that it ever did." "Then the story to that , effect, by whomsoever told, could not be truer' "I don't remember such an excursion and if made the log book should show the facts. "Have you any memory that the tleet ever withdrew after that date a distance of more than six miles?" ''I have not." By the Court—From the distance at which the blockade was maintained, ccuid you have seen any vessel at tempting to leave Santiago under or dinary conditions of weather?" Admiral Higginson—l think it -would have been difficult on account at the high land and the shadows under the land." Admiral Higginson was then excused and the court at 1 o'clock took recess tor luncheon. SCHROEDEK ON THE STAND. Promptly upon the striking of the hour of 2. the court reconvened. The first witness called was Commander Seatbn Schroeder, now g-overnor of the island of Guam, who, during the Spanish war, was executive officer of the battleship Massachusetts. Hia appearance created a slight stir of interest. Commander Schroeder was questioned as to the details of the entire campaign. He knew, he said, of no efforts to com municate with the shore while the flying squadron lay off Cienfuegos. He could give no details concerning the voyage from Cienfuegos to Santiago, having been on the sick list. On the first ar rival off Santiago, the fleet had, the w.t --| ness said, been twenty miles to the south of the port. He did not know of his own knowledge, why a westward move ment had been undertaken after arriv ing at Santiago, nor did he know how far the fleet had traveled in that direc tion. He stated that upon the return to Santiago on May 28, he had sighted the Spanish ship Colon and that it lay 1,2W or 1,300 feet inside the harbor, the ' American fleet being six or seven mles out. The witness stated in response to q:i . ticns by Judge Advocate Lemly that the squadron remained out about six or seven miles, maintaining this distance during the day, and keeping under way, countermarching eastward and westward at night. At one point they were nearer shore than at another, the ships describ ing an elongated " eltpse in their maneuvers. The average distance out, however, was about the same at night as during the day. Referring to the bombardment of the ! Colon, May 31, Commander Schroeder said he did net observe that there was any firing from the Spanish shore bat teries. ACTION WITH THE COLON. Ho testified that he was with Capt. Higginson when he went to meet Com modore SchJey as the latter came aboard the Massachusetts, and that th^ com modore had remarked to Capt. Higginson upon boarding the ship: "I am going to take you and the lowa In this morning to pot the Colon." The bombardment had, he said, begun about 2 o'clock and had continued for only about half an hour. He said that the instructions had been Co put the range at 9,060 yards, and told of seeing- the first shot fall. He said rt had been a fine line shot, but had fallen short. There had been two passages across th« Colon. "What was the eff.rct of the bombard ment?'' asked Capt. Lemly. "There was no effect of It, so far as 1 could see." the witness replied. Capt.

Mr. Hanna—lf the court please, I shouM like to ask the purpose of these Inquiries as to the conduct of the blockade."

Did you mean, she did not start with sufficient alacrity or did you mean;.that they did not ~go fast enough in passing from one place to the other?" "I would not undertake to criticise the time of our starting, :. as I did not know anything about the orders, but my recol lection Is that our speed was nothing like as great as it could have been."
