WASHINGTON, Oct 24. Admiral Schley took the stand today in his own behalf in the court of inquiry which is Investi gating his conduct as commander-in-chief of the flying "squadron during the Santiago campaign. He was summoned a few min utes after the court convened at 2 o'clock for the afternoon session, and when the court adjourned at 4 o'clock he apparent ly had only gotten well under way In his testimony. Captain Charles E. , Clark, of the Oregon, had just concluded his statement when Mr. Raynor, rising from his seat, said: "I should like to have Rear-Admiral Schley called." The Admiral accordingly was asked to take the stand. It was a turn In the pro ceedings for which apparently neither the members' of the court. Its officers, nor the spectators were prepared, and a mur mur of surprise was heard on all sides. It had been expected that the witness' name would be reached toward the close of the afternoon session. There were still two witnesses on the list which had not been heard, and It was understood to be his purpose not to take the stand until the entire list had been exhausted. He, however, responded to the call, and before the audience was well aware of the fact, he had begun his narrative of the cam paign which terminated In the destruction of Cervera's flee't Mr. Raynor introduced the testimony of his distinguished witness by saying: "Will you give thq court your name and rank?" "Wlnfield Scott Schley, Rear-Admiral, United States Navy, retired, at present on service In this court of Inquiry." The Admiral then, in answer to a ques tion from his counsel, proceeded to give a careful and detailed narrative of all the events of the campaign op to the battle of Santiago. He had not reached the stage of his testimony where he will tell of the battle when the court adjourned for the day. Crowd in the Courtroom. The audience which listened to his re cital was by far the largest which has gathered in the gunners' workshop, where the court sits. Ali the reserved seats were occupied, as were the seats set apart for the public at large. In the rear of the roomstood probably as nfapy.peoplejj as found seats, scores of men and wotae'1 Bianmng upon tames, cnairs and in win dows, in fact everywhere from which they could see the court. There was no appearance of ' demonstra tion of any kind during the Admiral's re cital. On the contrary, the silence was almost unbroken, except for the sound of the witness own voice. Only once was there a stir in the room which Indicated any feeling on the pare of the listeners. "That was when the Admiral, detailing his" converatlon wltji Admiral Sampson in the cabin of the New York, at Key West, told how he had assured the commander-in-chief of fealty to him. When the court adjourned for the day many spectators pressed forward and shook the Admiral's hand. "I was a Commodore," the witness be gan, in response to Mr. Raynor's request for a connected narrative of the campaign, "under orders to command the flying squadron on the 26th of March, 1898, and served" until the '20th day of June of the same year In that capacity." He took command of the squadron at Hampton Roads. Va., hoisting his flag on the cruiser Brooklyn. After relating the origin of the squadron at the Virginia port, he said that he had called the com manding officers of the vessels constitut ing that squadron together, and then he added. "The plan of campaign was threshed over. The disposition to be made of the over-water torpedoes was thoroughly discussed, and I am frank to say, I found no one of the commanding officers who seemed to agree with the others as to what use should be made of ihem. I therefore determined, as happens upon all such occasions, to take the helm myself, and decided that, as they were menaces to the squadron, we should sim ply keep them charged, with their war heads below the protected decks. I put the squadron Immediately upon a war footing, established pickets and patrols, and also the masking of lights." Planning: the Campaign. - Admiral Schley plunged Into the cam paign by outlining the plan which he had Indicated to his commanding officers before leaving Hampton Roads, saying: "During this time I explained to all the commanding officers that as It would be impossible to contrive a plan of battle that would meet unforeseen contingencies, the general plan of the squadron would be to cruise in line of battle, and its general principle would be to attack the head and leading vessels, concentrating the Are upon them in order, first to obtain the moral effect, and, second, to throw them into confusion, making a victory over them, probably much more successful and complete. I did that for the reason that the older plans of battle had been all to attack center and rear, resulting In the escape usually of a part of each squad ron. I felt that the attack of the head of the squadron, which was to some ex tent new. would involve the destruction of the whole, and that was the general plan of action as explained to them on that occasion." The Admiral then detailed the target practice the squadron indulged In dally, saying that no day was bad enough to prevent it. Subcallber was used entirely. This practice, said the Admiral, resulted in an accuracy of fire which was fully demonstrated in the action six weeks or two months later. He also said that the squadron was kept In readiness, so far as coal, water and supplies were concerned. May 12 or 13 he received orders from the Secretary of the Navy to proceed to Charleston. The squadron arrived on the 15th, and found orders from the Secretary directing him to proceed to Key West and report to Commodore Remey for fur ther instructions: Arrival at Key West. He went "to the Florida port -at a 12 knot speed, that being the highest all the vessels of the squadron could make. The squadron at the time consisted of the Brooklyn, Massachusetts, Texas, Scorpion and Sterling, the latter being a collier. The Admiral said that the Ster ling was lost sight of the first night out in a dense fog. and he never saw her again until he met hen off the south side of Cuba. The flying squadron arrived at Key West on the 17th, the" Admiral thought and on the next day he went ashore to pay his respects to Commodore Remey, after having saluted his flag. Continuing his narrative, the Admiral said: "While there the Commodore showed me a telegraphic order from the honora ble Secretary of the Navy directing me to proceed with all dispatcluto tho block ade of Havana. He also showed me a number of other dispatches, the purport of which T remember, but the contents I do not. "During the time T was on shore, after having had my conference with him, there were several of the Cuban people resi dent i there who informed me that the province in which Clenfuegos was situ ated, and from that to the westward, was almost thoroughly occupied by Span ish troops and we had better be careful in any attempt at Intercourse. I hastened off and on my way to the ship In the afternoon I thought I saw the New York approaching. At all events, wjien I got on board,, determined to go at once off Havana, ' the flagship had arrived and salutes were exchanged. , Meeting With Sampson. "I went on board to pay my respects and also to talk over the situation with Admiral Sampson. I found that the Ad miral was very much worn, and neces sarily so, because his responsibility had been very great. He had had great trou ble in keeping his squadron together and he appeared to me as If he was In ,a good deal of anxiety, which I could read ily appreciate. He showed me a number of orders. Among them was one which stated that a division of the two squad rons had been decided upon, one for the north and the other for the south coast of Cuba, in which he was given the preference of command. The order, if I remember correctly, stated that, under any circumstances, I was to remain with my command, and I asked him which of the two stations he would take, and he said he purposed to hold the Havana or north one. He also told me whichever side I went on. to remember that they were very heavily fortified and his con fidential instructions, which he delivered to me verbally, were that we were not to risk our battle-ships against the forti fied places of the coast until the Spanish squadron had been disposed of. My recol lection now is that he told me it was at Curacao. The impression left upon me was that it was somewtiere in the Ven ezuelan Gulf and that It was supplied with ammunition and stores destined for Havana and that that was undoubtedly the point it was to reach. He said his information was that the orders of the Spanish fleet to reach Havana or some point in railroad communication with it were imperative and that he believed and thought that Cienfuegos would be the point that came under the acceptation of tho order more directly. "We looked over maps and I must say I agreed with, him. I could not imagine that any one who had studied "the mili tary situation of the island at all could have supposed that Santiago would have fulfilled any of the conditions of this In struction. Assurance of Loyalty. "We had a talk together. I said that I had been ordered to report for duty to Admiral Remey and I imagined it necessarily meant himself, and thaU-j wwnfitbdtoassure him at- the outset 'Wt .j, suuuiu uc juyui, uuauiuieiy unu unre servedly, to the cause we were both rep resenting. Captain Chadwlck, ' who was present I do not remember whether all the time or not said: 'Of course, Com modore, anyone who has known your character would know that It would be Impossible for you to be otherwise than loyal.' "I asked the Admiral If there had been established any- means of communicating with the insurgents, whether there were any pilots or whether any locality was known where they were to be found. He told me that he did not know, that when he got the situation better In hand he would communicate with me, but that he thought it would be better for me to start as early as we could get away and blockade Cienfiigeos. I said very weli, that I was prepared, of course, to go anywhere. I (hen went aboard my own flagship in order to hasten the operations of coaling. Whilst there the Algonquin came out, .bearing an order from the Secretary of the Navy, through Commo dore -Remey, directing me to go off Ha vana. I signalled the Admiral to know whether or not he understood that my orders were to go off Havana. He re plied by signal that he understood that his coming to Key West modified my or ders and that I should be prepared to carry out the orders we had agreed upon In the afternoon. I do not remember whether; that was on the afternoon or In the morning, but It was before I left for Cienfuegos." Departure for Clenfuegos. The next move of the flying squadron. Admiral Schley said, was from Key West to Cienfuegos, and the Admiral told how, as the commander-in-chief of that squad ron, he had the vessels coaled so that at 7 or 8 o'clock on the morning of May 19 all the ships of the fleet .turned their backs upon American soil and Jald their course for the southern coast of Cuba. This, he said, was done under the order of the commander-in-chief, Admiral Sampson. ' At this point the witness quoted Ad miral Sampson's order No. 5, not failing to point out as he went along that in this order the Admiral had said: "Aftdr I have the situation more in hand, I will write you and give you any 'information that suggests itself." The first event of note on the voyage towards Cienfuegos occurred, Admiral Schley said, after he had, been out from Key West three or four hours. It was then that he met Captain McCalla, In cahrge of tho sub-squadron, with the Marblehead at Its head, which had been doing duty on the Cuban Coast near Cienfuegos, whither the Commodore with his flying squadron was bound. He re lated how. in accordance with the usual custom, when a naval officer meets a superior In rank at sea, Captain McCalla had asked permission to pass on. He told how McCalla had sent the Eagle to com municate with the flying squadron. Ad miral Schley also mentioned that the Scorpion had been sent to Intercept the Eagle for the purpose of securing what ever information she might bring. "After a little," he said, "the Scorpion returned and reported through the mega phone, I think identically as is reported in his log, which was all the information he gave us. The Eagle afterward passed close enough to the Brooklyn to hail her by megaphone, and repeated that there was no news. I was on the quarter-deck. The thing seemed to almost burn into my mind, but after what I have heard I begin to think that maybe I was mis taken." Conference With Chester. The Admiral also, related his meeting the Cincinnati and the Vesuvius the next morning oft San Antonio. Captain Ches ter, in command of the Cincinnati, came aboard the Brooklyn, remaining for about three-quarters of an hour. He related the details of his conversation with Captain Chester, saying that they had, "threshed out a good many subjects." The Admiral said that Captain Chester had' expressed himself as especially desirous of joining the flying squadron with his ship, but said that his coal supply was so limited that he would be compelled to go to Key (Concluded on Third Pace.)

On the 17th day of the same month he preached his first ser mon in Portland, and thereafter for seven years, until June 1, 1807, he presidid over the First Presbyterian Church as its Dastor. Several important happenings In the history of the church took place during Mr. Caffrey's pastorate, notably the formal organization of the church as a cor porate body, In 1805. The first board of trustees was elected during Mr. Caf frey's term, and was composed of "W. S. Ladd, J. C. Alnsworth, H. A. Hogue, J. M. Blos.om and B. F. Smith. When Mr. Caffrey retired he was presented with a substantial amount o gold coin, with part of which he bought the Vir ginia farm which has since been the family home.

Samuel Dunham, the original locator of the Topkuk mines, was on the stand. He testified that In May, 1900, after the Top kuk mines had been jumped by about 250 men, he had a conversation with Judge Noyes relative to proceedings In eject ment, which he desired the United States Attorney to begin. Continuing, Dunham said: "Judge Noyes told me that Archie K. Wheeler, a young man who went with him to Nome to serve as his private sec retary, was a very efficient attorney, and was going to resign his position and hang out his shingle as an attorney. Judge Noyes recommended the young man, who told me that he could obtain possession of the claims In less than 48 hours. I was with Captain Anderson, and we talked with Mr. Wheeler, who said he would take the case for a half-Interest In the property, as had been done In a previous case. I remarked that the consideration was exorbitant, whereupon he agreed to take a one-eighth interest." The witness told of seeing a pencil draught of the contract which had been entered Into by Captain Anderson, on behalf of the owners of the mine, and was about to continue his narrative when Attorney Heney interrupted by asking Attorney PHlsbury Just who Mr. Pills bury hoped to connect with the alleged conspiracy. Mr. ' PHlsbury answered: "By the testimony of this witness I in tend showing that Archie Wheeler got into the case through Judge Noyes; that Alexander McKenzie, by his Influence with the court, was appointed receiver for the minps! that Judsre Noyes. Alexander Mc- (Kenzie, R. L. Stevens, Archie Wheeler and others were engaged in a conspiracy to obtain this valuable property." "Who are the others?" asked Attorney Heney. "That," replied Mr. PHlsbury, "will come out later." C. S. Johnson, an ex-United States At torney and Judge of Alaska, testified to calling on Judge Noyes and requesting him to sign a bill of exceptions to a de cision which was adverse to the claimants whom he represented, and also fix a bond. "After we discussed the matter," said the witness, "Judge Noyes refused to sign the bill of exceptions, nor would he fix a bond. I told Judge Noyes that we could give a bond amounting to $500,000, "but the Judgesaid he would not remove McKenzie as receiver of the mines or de prive McKenzie of any power whatever." On another occasion, Johnson said: "I told Judge Noyes that a deep conspiracy existed to obtain possession of the mines; that McKenzie had obtained a one-third interest in the mines, and that his (Judge Noyes') names was being bandied about as being connected with the conspirators. Judge Noyes declared lie could not permit any reflection on the court, and that he would not permit the disclosure. "After the arrival of the opinion of tho Circuit Court of Appeals in the McKenzIe case, I called upon Judge Noyes," the witness proceeded. "The Judge remarked that they (meaning the Circuit Court of Appeals of the Ninth District) had every thing their own way, but It was time for him (Noyes) to fight Judge Noyes de clared that the opinion had one effect at least, and that was the removal of the court from San Francisco, "where the cases are tried vby the press.' Judge Noyes said that the United States Govern ment would never permit a Judge like Judge Ross, who rendered the opinion, to remain upon the bench." Judge Johnson testified that he was en gaged in the litigation affecting the Pio neer Mining Company and the Lane inter ests. Frank D. Monckton, clerk of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals In this city, was another witness called. He tes tified to meeting Attorney Gunn in Se attle, and also had with -him correspond ence which passed between Gunn and him self with reference to the Nomo litiga tion. The witness also told of the argu ment of the cases made by Gunn before the Court of Appeals. At the afternoon session Samuel Dun ham again took the stand. He said he and his associates could not find out how much was taken from their claims, which were not properly worked by the re- celver. In answer to an objection At torney PHlsbury said: "My theory Is that McKenzie used Judge Noyes as an Instrument to carry out his purposes. When the facts came before Judge Noyes we believe he suppressed them." Samuel Knight was recalled and asked: "Did you get your property all back from the receiver?" "We were short just $9000, which we did not receive until after McKenzie was ar rested," responded Knight. William H. Metson was placed on thb stand for further cross-examination, but nothing of Importance was developed. He admitted that his feelings toward Judge Noyes were far. from friendly, thouch they had been on good terms before the trouble at Nome. auc uuBtr iubii went over until tomor row.
