ONE WEEK LONGER
Many More Witnesses for
Admiral Schley.
COURT ADJOURNED TILL MONDAY
Licntenant-Conimaneter Nicholson,
Who Was Navigator of the Ore
son, Told the Story o the
Fight as He Saw It.
WASHINGTON, Oct 18. Just before
the Schley court of Inquiry adjourned
today Attorney Raynor, counsel for Ad
miral Schley, informed the court that he
hoped to be able to conclude the presen
tation of testimony for the applicant by
the close of next week. He said that he
thus far had not had opportunity to con
sult with witnesses' who are still to be
heard. He, therefore, asked that an ad
journment be taken from today until
Monday. Speaking for the court, Ad
miral Dewey said' he was most happy to
grant the request. Accordingly, the
court adjourned until 11 o'clock Monday.
The list of witnesses examined today In
cluded eight names, but the interroga
tion of the last witnesses called had not
been concluded when the day came to a
close. The last witness was Lieutenant
Wells, Jr., who served during the war
with Spain as Admiral Schley's Hag
lieutenant or private secretary. The
other seven persons" heard during the
day were, in the order in which they
were called: Lieutenant-Commander R.
F. Nicholson, who was navigator of the
Oregon; Medical, Director Charles M.
De Valln, a Surgeon; Captain J. L. Han
num, retired engineer; Lieutenant
Thomas F. Carter, Ensign W. T. Cronan,
Carpenter G. H. Warford, all of whom
served on the Brooklyn, and J. L. Hun
ly, who was chief machinist on board the
Texas.
Lieutenant-Commander Nicholson told
the story of the battle of July 3 as he
saw it from the deck of .the Oregon. He
said the movements of the Oregon had
not been contrdlled by signals from the
Brooklyn, and he expressed the opinion
that the Oregon was nearer the Colon
than the Brooklyn was. Mr. Hunly said
that the. port engines of the Texas had
not been stopped during the battle of
July 3. From the line of examination
relative to the battle of July 3, it is evi
dently the Intention of Mr. Raynor to
have Lieutenant Wells give Admiral
Schley's actions during the Spanish War.
When the court adjourned he had
reached the period of the battle of July.
3, having gone quite. minutely into other
Incidents of the campaign up to that
time, including the receipt of dispatches
from Admiral Sampson.
It is expected that. Captain Clark, of
the Oregon, will be among the witnesses
tobe heard;. earlynextweelj.- -.&- v
The Proceedings.
While Ensign Marble was on the stand
for the purpose of correcting his former
testimony, he was further interrogated
by Judge-Advocate Lemly concerning the
conversation between Captain Slgsbee, of
the St. Paul, and Commodore Schley, over
heard by the witness when Captain Slgs
bee came aboard the Brooklyn off San
tiago May 26. Nothing Important was
brought out by the questioning.
Lieutenant-Commander Nicholson, of
the Oregon, wag then called and began
his recital of the story of the battle of
July 3, which he had observed as naviga
tor of the Oregon. He was, he said, on
the deck of his vessel, and added:
"Occupying the position I did during the
day of the engagement I necessarily saw
considerable of it. The Incidents, of that
day commenced about 9:30 or five minutes
before, when the first calli to quarters
had been sounded. Then the Spanish ships
were seen coming out of the harbor, weit,
seen, in fact, by practically .the whole
crew at the same time. When the first
ship started to go around, the cry went
up, 'There they go.' I looked toward the
harbor and saw the first ship. Her bow
was making a turn into the last reach
of the harbor on her way out. She was
followed In succession Dy the others.
"I went to my station, first on the
bridge, then down to the conning tower,
and saw that the proper connections were
made. In the meantime the signal had
been sounded to general quarters, and by
this time steam was coming up, all the
boilers and blowers were going full tilt
and a few minutes afterward Captain
Clark came up. We turned the ship, going
slowly at first, the speed Increasing all the
time, turned ship with starboard helm
and started In toward the enemy. They
came out at full speed, apparently much
faster than we were at this time. By
the time we were straightened out well
to westward they were well ahead of us.
"The Iowa started in. She being to the
westward of us, apparently got In closer
to the enemy than we did because we
passed under her stern. A few minutes
after that on our course to the west
ward we passed under the stern of the
Texas, which was lying apparently still
in the water. I called Captain Clark's at
tention to this. Of course, firing, com
menced on both sides when the first ship
cleared the mouth of the harbor. We re
turned tho fire at long range, probably
from three and a half to four miles oft
at that point. When we crossed under tho
Texas' stem "we saw the Iowa coming
out on a course nearly parallel to a con
verging course with ours. I noticed her a
little abaft our starboard beam. Captain
Clark at the same time noticed her -and
called my attenion to her and told me
to look out and avoid' a collision. No col
lision -was very imminent, but we did
change our helm and passed on. I did
not see any more of the Iowa.
Chasing: the Spaniards.
"After the action commenced we passed
the Texas. The only ship then ahead of
us was the Brooklyn. She was- well off
her accustomed position, well off to the
westward. All the Spanish ships had
gotten out by this time and we were pur
suing them, heading for the leading ships.
We noticed the' Maria Teresa drop astern
at less speed than at first, saw flames
leaping up and out of her, which con
vinced us she was on fire. A few minutes
after, that the Oquendo appeared to be
covered with smoke and we concluded
that she also was on fire, which proved to
be the fact. Just about this time the Viz
caya, which starboarded her helm, seemed
to head off to the southward and went
toward the Brooklyn and fell out of line.
It then became evident the Colon was
pulling out of the battle aftd running along
shore, but it was developed that she was
running away and had more speed than
all the other ships.
"The Vizcaya headed toward the Brook
lyn. She ran that course for some time
and then straightened out again, then
turned Inshore and a few moments aftef
that ran ashore also. There Is no doubt
about the Vizcaya pulling out of the
Spanish line to the southward because a
short time after this Captain. Clark turned
around and called my attention to some
objects in the water that looked like
floating buoys, apparently three or four
feet above the water. We thought they
were nets with torpedoes, being probably
thrown out to injure the ship. I ported
the helm and before I could do anything
we passed over the spot and found that
we were In the wake of the Vizcaya."
Commander Nicholson then detailed the
cha9e of the Colon, the subsequent going
ashore and surrender. '
Commander Nicholson said that he re
called some, signals from the Brooklyn on
the day of the battle, among others one
at the beginning of the battle to close up
and another at the 'close of the' engage
ment, saying: "Well done, Oregon."
"As for the first signal," he said, "we
were already closing In and it did not In
fluence us."
Dlil Not See Brooklyn Turn.
The witness said he could not say posi
tively that he had seen the Brooklyn make
her turn, but that he had seen her change
her position. He also said that he did
not remember any signal from the Brook
lyn to the Oregon to use her 13-Inch guns
on the Colon.
"Did the Oregon use her 13-Inch guns
early In the action V" Captain Lemly
asked, as his first question on cross-examination.
"Oh, yes," was the response. "But she
stopped using them during the chase of
the Colon, as that vessel was so far away
that to use them would have been a
waste of ammunition."
In response to another question by Cap
tain Lemly, Commander Nicholson said:
"I thought the Oregon was nearer the
enemy during the chase than the Brook
lyn, but the distances varied somewhat.
At one time the Brooklyn had apparently
turned to head off a turn of the Colon to
ward Cape1 Cruz."
' In reply to Mr. Hanna, the witness said
he had "observed the Spanish fleet as it
came out of the harbor at Santiago; they
were In column and In order, three or
four ship's lengths apart; that all ported
helms and turned to the westward, ap
parently with the intention of going
ashore If necessary. During the early
part of the engagement he had seen none
of the Spanish vessels turning toward any
of the American ships, and he was sure
there was no well-developed movement In
that direction. Yet the smoke was dense
and he could not be certain of all de
tails. The court asked questions of Com
mander Nicholson as follows:
"Was the Oregon in her proper blockad
ing position when the Spanish ships
started out'" ,
"Practically, yes."
"WJiat was her course with reference to
the Morro?"
"About four miles distant and a little
eastward to south of It."
"Wh'at was the distance between the
blockading positions of the Oregon and
Brooklyn?"
"From three to four miles In the day
time; they were nearer together at night."
"What was the relative position of the
American chips -when the Spanish, ves
sels came out?"
"The Iowa was due south, the Texas on
her port hand, and the Brooklyn farther
off to the westward. The Oregon was to
the right of the Iowa, and the Indiana
Inshore to the eastward, with the New
York In the distance. I remember Imme
diately" looking for the flagship and saw
her off seven, or eight miles towards SI
bonev." ' '
c;IthQrmttBJany3lmtPsisbo
tween tne JBrooKiyn ana tne spanisn
ships?"
"Not vrtien they were offering any active
resistance; she ;dld as the Spanish ves
sels turned to go ashore."
"When the Oregon changed her direc
tion toward the Brooklyn, had the Brook
lyn completed her turn?"
"I am under the Impression that she
had; she must have dbne so."
"What was the position of the Oregon'
when she turned wl(h starboard helm dur
ing the battle of Santiago?"
"She was lying still In the water, and
we turned to head off the Spanish fleet.
We overtook all but the Colon very
quickly."
Surgeon of the Brooklyn.
Dr. Charles M. De Valin followed Com
mander Nicholson. He said he had been
medical officer on board the Brooklyn and
had observed the battle of Juljn 3 from the
.forecastle. He gave a brief description
of the battle, saying he had been present
when Yeoman Ellis had been killed and
had observed Commodore Schley during
tho entire engagement.
"His conduct and bearing,", said the wit
ness, "were all that could be expected. He
seemed to know what he was about and
to be doing all that he wished to do. He
was in perfect control of the situation."
In response to questions from Captain
Lemly, the witness said that he had heara
Commander Schley give the order, "Helm
hard aport," and had heard no one else
give it. In response, to a question, he
said that he had at that time heatd no
colloquy or altercation concerning this or
der. Dr. De Valln was then excused and Cap
tain John L, Hannum was called. He was
chief engineer on board the Brooklyn, and
of the flying squadron during the Cuban
campaign. Captain Hannum's testimony,
aside from replies to questions by the
court, related entirely to the condition of
the collier Merrimac, Maj; 27 and 28. He
said that on the forenoon of the former
date, Commodore Schley had ordered him
to go aboard the collier; that, having
done so,. he found her intermediate valve
gear entirely disabled and that she was
able to hobble along only at the rate of
four or five knots an hour. In reply to
questions by the court, Captain Hannum
said the Brooklyn's economical speed was
about 10 knots, and that he believed that
fires were ready for lighting under all her
boilers.
Captain Hannum was then excused and
Lieutenant Thomas F. Carter, passed as
sistant engineer, who was in, charge of the
machinery of the main engines of the
Brooklyn during the Santiago campaign,
was called. In reply to a request from
Mr. Raynor, he gave a statement copcern
lng the condition of the eriglnes of the
Brooklyn on the morning of the battle of
July 3, saying:
"The after main engines were not used.
The forward main engines were discon
nected from the after ones, and steam, was
on in three boilers."
Mr. Raynor Can you tell me what went
on In the engine-rooms during the action,
with respect to Increasing the speed of
the ship?
"Every effort was made to economize
steam and get the most power out of it.
There was a steady Increase In the num
ber of turns of the engines from the be
ginning to the end."
"Were the engines at any time stopped,
reversed or slowed?"
"The engines were not at any time
during the battle stopped or reversed. I
have no recollection of their ever having
been slowed. They certainly were not
stopped or reversed."
At Mr. Raynor's request, the witness
presented a written memorandum .which
he had prepared, showing the speed of
the Brooklyn during the day of battle, and
Indicating a gradual increase from 11&
to 14 knots per hour. The memorandum,
was based on the basis of the revolutions
of the propeller.
Message From Sampson.
Lieutenant Carter was then excused and
W. T. Cronan, an Ensign who served as
signal officer on the Brooklyn during the
Cuban campaign, was called. Mr. Ray
nor asked him whether.he remembered a

GENERAL CHAFFEE'S REPORT.
Conditions in the Island Described
by General Hushes.
WASHINGTON,' Oct. 18. The following
brief cablegram from General Chaffee,
reporting the fight of the Ninth Infantry
in Samar, Wednesday, was received at
the War Department this afternoon:
"Manila, Oct. 18 Corbln, Adjutant
General, Washington: Forty-six men,
Company E, Ninth United States Infan
try, under First Lieutenant George W.
Wallace, in field. Lower Gandara, Samar,
were attacked by 900 boiomen, October
1G. Our loss 10 killed, six wounded; names
not received. Eighty-one of the enemy
left dead on the field. Enemy beaten off."
As of interest In connection with the
report from Samar, Adjutant-General
Corbln today made public a report by
General Hughes to General Chaffee,
dated August 20, on the situation in that
Island. General Hughes says:
"The progress In Sama.r Is satisfactory
In some ways and not In others. Subdu
ing of the fighting propensities of the
war faction is reduced almost to nullity.
The growth of our strength, in the esti
mation 'of the people, is also quite satis
factory. The fact is their love for the
fleshpots, and incidentally for the Amer
icans who represent said pots, Is grow
ing burdensome, as the securing of the
hemp with which to pay for rice is be
coming a heavy business. In nearly all
our posts where the commander has ex
ercised good judgment, colonies of natives
have come In and settled and concluded
they would set up their lares and penates
under our wing. These colonies dllTer In
strength, but in this vicinity, or between
the Hlbltan and the Gandara Rivers,
about 16.CO0 have come In. In the In
terior, Blanca Aurora, Taviran. Matu
guinao, Oquendo, etc., have their colonies.
The troops we have captured show that
the armed forces are deserting and break
ing away from military control of the
VIcol leaders.
"The unsatisfactory features are the
slowness of the process of conversion,
the failure to get the rifles and tho slow
ness and the difficulty in making roads
and trails. Every foot presents Its pe
culiar obstacle, but the troops are doing
all that can be justly demanded of them,
and while efforts have been made to push
things faster, I am entirely satisfied with
the results thus far secured. The com
mands are small, but I hope I have not
made a mistake In underestimating the
fighting ability of the forces now in the
field against us. I would feel quite easy
if all officers of the organizations were
present, but it Is fully appreciated that
some of the detachments are commanded
by officers who have really never been
shot over.
"Just at this date the bulk of the rifles
seem to be in the region just west of the
Calublg River. There are now five de
tachments in there, making it uncom
fortable for the people; one on the Pam
bujan, one on the Mondragon, two mov
ing east from the Upper Catarman and
ono moving north from Taviran and San
Enrique. The Pambujan Mountain is the
objective, speaking generally, of all these
detachments.
"The people of Bobol seem to" be grad
ually coming to the opinion they made
a mistake, and are showing symptoms of
a change of front.
"Our cause is growing stronger with the
people In Cebu, and while the outlaws
there will have to be roughly dealt with,
there is no doubt that we will find much
assistance from the natives themselves
in doing so. I hope to be able to go over
there in person by tho 1st of September
and try to push matters.
"In Leyte the last surrender was that
of Chief Pacheco. The Capllll brothers
are still out and will probably have to be
killed, but to do so It will be necessary
to find thesn, which is difficult.. They
have not made any aggressive move for
months.
"Negros and Panay continue in tran
quility. It is my intention tl leave one
battalion of the Sixth Infantry and the
native battalion in Negros; In Panay, six
companies of the Sixth Infantry, four
troops, Tenth Cavalry, and two battalions

Lukban, the Instlgntor.
CHICAGO. Oct. IS. "The Island of Sa
mar Is the worst country I ever cam
paigned over," said General Elwell S.
Otis tonight. "It Is mountainous and cut
up by deep rivers and rushing torrents.
There are no roads, and the troops are
compelled to cut their way through the
heavy underbrush. In this way tho na
tives creep up close to a detachment and
either bolo the men, or shoot and escapo
Into the long grass and vegetation without
danger. Lukban and about 150 refugee
Tagals are the instigators of these sur
prises. Driven out of the southern prov
inces of Luzon, Lukban and his followers
have gone to Samar. They engage the aid
of the "boiomen on promises of easy vic
tories and plenty of loot. A few lessona
such as that of yesterday will soon dis
abuse the minds of the boiomen of the
ease of the victory, and such engagements
will stop."
FORCED TO SWEAR ALLEGIANCE.
Friend of SIxto Lopez Compelled to
Take the Oath.
MANILA, Oct. IS. Fiske Warren, tho
first man to take the oath of allegiance
required under the recent act of the Phil
ippine Commission of all suspects at
tempting to land, has been closely Identi
fied with Slxto Lopez. Many treasonable
and inflammatory papers were found m
his baggage. Regarding this he said he
held only one copy of each, having re
tained these as souvenirs. It Is known also
that he was Intimate with the members
of the junta In Hong Kong. He at first
objected to taking the oath, saying that
has was a loyal citizen, but he signed it
when notified that on mo other condition
would be allowed to land. Some of his
fellow passengers told Civil Governor Taf t
that Warren and Lopez shook hands and
retired for consultation upon hearing of
President McHlnley's assassination. Gov
ernor Taft considers the action of the
commission in requiring all suspects to
swear allegiance perfectly justified.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ID. Senator,
Simon, of Oregon, called upon tho Presi
dent this morning, and hacLa pleasant
Interview concerning appointments In
Oregon. Ho particularly expressed dis
satisfaction with tho appointment oC
George W. Bibee, as receiver of thet
Oregon City land office. President
Roosevelt said he had not been previously
aware of the lack of harmony In tho
Oregon Senatorial delegation, and la
making the recent appointment of Bibeo
he believed there was no objection on the
part of anyone thereto. He assured Sen
ator Simon that In future no appoint
ments would be made In Oregon without
first consulting both Senators.
Upon receipt of a telegraphic protest
from Senator Simon against Bibee's ap
pointment several days ago, the Presidenc
held up the commission which had already
been made out. It is probable in view
of today's conference that the appoint
ment will be allowed to stand, and soma
future compromise be arranged.
No reoommendation has yet been mado
