AT LAST
Schley WillTake the Stand
In His Own Behalf.
Captain Cook Will Take the
spohsibility For the Loop.
It Is Agreed That Sampson Is Unable to Appear
Before the Court.
Washington, Oct. 14.-(Spl.)-With-ln
a few days Admiral Schley will
take tho witness stand in his own be
half, and it is expected that lie win
have some interesting disclosures to
make to the Court. Dmlng the three
years of the controversy ho has been
silent When he becomes a witness,
his pergonal explanation of the matters
under discussion will for thu lirst time
become public.
Capt. Cook, who 1ms been summon
ed by Admiral Schley, will bo one o'f
the most important witnesses in the
case.
He will nssume responsibility for the
famous loop. Witnesses have already
testllled thnt the loop, had been staked
before Schley gave an order that it
be made. Cook says even now that
It was a proper manoeuvre.
A point in Cook's evidence that will
count against Schley relates to the
retrograde movement. Cook told the
President that ho advised against
turning the ships toward Key wrsi
when the flying squadron arrived oft'
Santiago. He' told Schley, according'

Re-
to this report, that the coal supply of
the vessels was not such ns to neces
sitate a return to Key West.
Admiral Sampson will not be called
as a witness. This much may now bo
regarded as settled, not only by reason
of the incidents which havo ocurred,
at the hearing during the past week,
but more paitlcularly because of the
physical and mental inability of Samp
son to appear and give testimony.
It is adiulttcn that he could not give
a connected and lucid statement to the
court, ire linds much dltllculty In
talking. While ho is. able to walk
about a little on pleasant days, .his
health is such that ne could not -go
upon tho witness stand,
Schley's counsel will try to show
that Schley's detentfou nt" Cienfiiegos
was due to Sampson's1 failure to' send
him information" about Cervera's lleet,
that tho criticisms on Schley,'s kind
, of blockade nre unfounded, because
Sampson continued it aftor he'enme,
' and that any failure charged against
Schley for failure to destroy the .Colon
May 31, rests equally on Sampson.
