was then asked as to what the Brook-

ments in which she had participated in.
June. '

Before a reply could be given the
court retired for consultation. At the
conclusion of the conference. Mr. Ray»
nor changed his question so as to read
as follows: “What do you know of your
own observation in respect. to the
strength of the shore batteries and the
guns. I want the result of your obser»
vation at Santiago acquired by you at
any time. without oing into any gene-
ral or specific details as to the bum-
bardments."

Replying Lieutenant, Doyle said that
at the bombardment which had taken
place June 6th. the Zocapa br'Wv had
replied at first Very splrltedly. but tht
it soon "went out of business."

After the ships withdrew. the enemy
had again manned their guns antl‘then
shot at the ships. ‘

“Tbey always took a «snap shot at us
as we left, he said. '

Mr. Rayner man asked Lieutenant
Doyle how often he. had seen Commo-
dore Schley under fire, during the San-
tiago campaign.

"Every time we were under fire." he
replied. "during those bombardments.
and in the brittle of July 3rd."

“What was his conduct? 1 refer you
to the first specification of the precept.
His conduct in connection with, the
events of the Santiago campaign. and
what was his conduct and bearing at
any time during the bombardments or
during the battle of July 3. when his
ship was under fire?"

“1 did not have an opportunity. as
the commodore was always near about
the conning tower. to observe his con-
duct during the battle. but immediately
previous and after l did have an oppor.
tunity to do so. He always struck me
as being just as self possessed as it was
possible for anybody to be under the
circumstances."

Mr. Rayner then asked the witness

whether on July 2. 1898. he had obeerv- '

ed smoke coming from Santiago harbor.
over Zocapa hill.

Captain Lemiy objected. and Mr.
Rayner said that his purpose was 'to
prove that it was believed at that time
that the Spaniards were preparing to
withdraw from the harbor. and that
Commodore Schley had communicated
the facts to the squadron. it was com—
petent. he said. to prove the conduct of
the commodore under tbedcpartment'a
precept.

Captain Lemiy and Mr. Hanna con-
tended thnt the certain effect of such
questions would be to open the gates of
interminable inquiry. They did not ob-
iect except for the reason of the time
involved. Captain Parker announced
his willingness to “open the door wide."

Mr. Rayner was then permitted to
ask his question. which he did in the
