concerning the deepen-hell prepared by
him at Key West from Admiral Samp—
son for Commodore Schley. He again
said that according toihia recollection
these despatches had been forwarded
by the [own and the Dupont, but that
his statement was based entirely upon
memory. ,
Lieutenant Commander A. M. Sharp.
who commanded the converted yacht
Vixen. during the Spanish war. was the
first new witness of the day. He testified
that he had first fallen in with the Fly—
ing Squadron on the morning of May
21. off Cienfuegos. The weather on the
cruise. from Clenfuegos to Santiago had
been “satially.” but not sufficiently bad
to interfere with the speed of the le»
en. The vessel, he said, had not been
in urgent need of coal on May 26. but
that. if ordered to coal he would have
tried to do so. though it would have
been an uncomfortable job. because of
the small size of the Vixen
Commander Shor said that notwith-
standing he had 11 on board the
Brooklyn ameral times. Commodore
Schle) had never discussed with him
the retrograde movement toward Key
West. begun on May 20.
Describing the service of the Vixen
lluring the siege of Santiago. under
Commodore Sclilcy. Commander Sharp
said that he, had been placed on picket
duty at the mastern end of the line. on
the night of May 29, and had continued
this duty afterward. He was about two
miles from the shore. he said. and prob-
ably three miles from the mouth of the
harbor. The entire fleet could not be
seen at night and the shore, line could
only be discerned as a black mass in
the distance. .
Mr. Hanna: "Conld you have seen a
vessel undertaking to pass out near the,
shore under those conditions?“
“Commander Sharp: “11‘ she had
shown no lights and made no noise. 1
do not believe we could."
"Did you at any time suppose your-
self to have diacoveicd a torpedo boat
attempting to escape?‘ '
“One night we sighted a light! run-
ning apparently along shore with a
good deal of speed and signalled that it
was a torpedo boat escaping. it turned
out to be a locomotive headlight on the
railroad."
"Under these circumstances could you
have. seen the train had no headlight
been displayed?"
“1 think not.

Commander Sharp said the Vixen had
carried Commodore Schley from the
Brooklyn to the Massachusetts on May
31. before the beginning of the bom-
bardment of the Urismbal Colon. and
that when he had asked what worse
he should pursue. in the approaching
action. Lieutenant Sears had replied for
the commodore. that the latter had di—
rcr-ted that Commander Sharp keep his
craft clear. as she was vulnerable. and
should not assume any risks. He
thought the commodore had afterward
spoken to him to the some effect
Mr. Hanna: ‘Passlng to the battle
of Jilly 3. did you see any portion of
the loop made, by the Brooklyn?"
"When l‘first saw the Brooklyn 1

‘Did you at any time have any eon-

“Yes. sir."
