pressed, and upon reading from the log
Commander ochrocdor said it showed
that the Massachusetts had over 800
tons of coal aboard when it arrived at
Santiago.
Mr. Hanna: "Assuming that the
Massachusetts, on ade duty,
would use twenty to 1 tons of coal
per day. how long could the Massachu-
setts remained on blockade before 8011- -
lingo, with that supply of coal?"
“That would depend entirely upon
the nature. of the blockade. and upon
whether he would have to go some dis-
tance to replenish the coal supply. By
keeping under way at night. as we did
up to the first of June. of course, no we
used a little more coal than we would
have by keeping stationary blockade.
as was done afterward. i do not re-
member the coal consumption per day.
My recollection was that during the
stationary blockade the noon signal was
to go to twenty-five or thirty tons a
day.“
“Assuming it then to be thirty to
forty tons. how long could the Massa-
chusetts remained on blockade?"
“At forty tons a day, of course, she
would remain about twenty days, if
there was a coal supply at hand. so we
would not have to go off and get some.
and there was cool there at the time on
the Merrimas." “
“Steaming at ten knots. about how
much coal would the Massachusetts
consume on a day's runf"
“That i do not remember."
"Assuming that it was fifty tons a
‘ day that would give her a steaming
radius of what?”
“My recollection is that we could
make 4% miles per ton of coal. So that
would be about 220 miles a day on fifty
tons. and i think this probably not far
from what was the case. " '
“Allowing than sufficient coal on
the lilassachusclis. with an equipment
of 800 tons, to reach Key West, how
long could she have remained on block-
ade. steaming backward and forward
as she did from May 29 to June 1?"
"if she used forty tons a day. she
could have remained twenty days."
He. then stated that she could have'
remained sixteen days. and would have
sufficient coal left to reach Key West.
“Assuming the. distance to Key West
to be seventy miles what coal would
have been necessary?" asked Captain
Lemly.
Commander Schroeder: " '1 should
think 150 to 175 tons would probably
have taken us there. We can always
rciy upon that. because. as a rule. the
engineers keep a little ahead. rather
than behind their coal account."
When Commander Schroeder left the
stand. he was requested to return to-
morrow and correct the official copy of
his testimony of today. if necessary. He
said he would do so. and asked if he
could then be excused. “1 desire to
make my preparations for returning to
Guam." be said. He was told that he
could do so.
Lieutcuant Commander i.. (‘. iicil-
ner. who was navigator of the Texas.

ed.
He said he. had heard no guns fired
when the squadron pronched Cienfu-
20s. To his knowle e. no effort was
uadc to ascertain whether the Spanish
ilrci was in the harbor at that point. or
to destroy Spanish works there. Nor
had there been any effort to communi-
cate with Cubans on shore. until Cap-
lain McCalla arrived on the Marble
head.
He told how the fleet had proceeded
from Cienfugos to within twenty miles
of Santiago. “We had." he said, “good
weather a fresh wind and a so: that
was moderate to rough. "
None of the. lighting ships had delay-
ed the fleet. he said, but some. of the
smaller vessels had. The heat was sig-
nalled that the rendezvous would be
twenty- five miles due. south of Santia~
The witness was then asked to dea-

Captain liemly:

"Did the Brooklyn give any steam

“That i do not know."
“Did you hear any?"
“i did not hear any. "
"Do you think you would have heard
it if there had been a steam signs?"
“No. sir i could never hays hear it."
Take' Je-Siihley inquiry.
“At what time during the battle of
Santiago do you consider htat the Tex-
as was in the greatest danger?" asked
Captain Lemly.
Mr. Raynor objected, contending
that such opinions were shut out by a
previous ruling of the court. Mr. Hon-
na said there were many minor points
on which the court must from time to
time ask the opinion of witnesses. The
point was also argued on the one side-
by Captain 1.0me and on the other by
Judge Wilson. The court overruled
the objection and the question was re-
posted.
“Looking back." responded the wit-
ness.’ i know that the time'of the
greatest danger of the Texas was when
the Brooklyn loomed up out of the
smoke right ahead of us. "
lie said in response to questions.
that he. had never sailed with a man
who had quicker sight or who handled
his ship to better advantage than Copb
taln Philip He added that the cap-
tain had on this occasion given several
orders and that the Texas had backed
until it was dead in the water “ . He
said that on account of this incident
two or three minutes had been lost
and that fully three miles were lost to
the ship. A part of this delay had how-‘
ever, he said. been caused on account
of the. fault of the ship' a blowers ren-
dering the vessel slow in getting no
steam.
Referring to Commodore Schieys
blockade of Santiago harbor. the wit-
ncss said that. during the day the dis-
tance. was fire or six miles out. but
that. in steaming across the mouth of
the haibor at night the distance was
gradually increased. On the day when
the enemy" s ships were discoveied the
the fleet had been closer in. He had
he said. on that day. seen three cruis
ers inside the harbor.
