Puts Forward-tire Claim that Admiral
Schloy Acton Without Authority
in Some of the Movements
at":3antia:o.
llunmi continued his argument when
the Schlcy Court of Inquiry convened
at. it o‘clock this morning. He began
where he left off'yestcrday, and after
briefly referring. to the retrograde
movement. the discussion oi 'Mch he.
had entered upon yesterday, he tool; tip
the question of coal supply of the Fly-
lng Squadron and from that entered up—
on a discussion of the blockade of San~
Hugo. and the reconnaissance of May
Iii. when the Spanish ship Colon was
bombarded as she lay in the harbor of
Santiago. As on yesterday Mr. Hanna
spoke in calm and tilspaoeionnte tones
and generally contented himself with
outlining his conception of the purport
of the testimony. The understanding
at the beginning of today‘s proceedings
was that Captain Parker would follow
Mr. Hanna in Admiral Schley's behalf.
and while he gave. no definite intima-
tion as to how long he might speak. it
was generally supposed that he would
conclude the day, allowing Mr. Rayner
to proceed tomorrow.
Admiral Schlcy reached the court
room at up early hour. and his friends
were gratified to find that the severe
cold with which he suffered yesterday
had greatly improved.
Mr. Hanna briefly reverted to the
cruise of the Flying Squadron. from
(‘ienfnegoo to Santiago, for the purpose
of showing that neither the Vixen or
the Merrimac had been the. cause of the
delay on that voyage.
lilr. Hanna continued his discussion
of the retrograde movement. saying
that but one explanation had been giv-
en for it in Admiral Schlcy'ii despatch.
namely. the inadequacy of the coal sup-
ply. "There in." he eaid. "no sugges—
tion of any other reason in this des-
patch. in his tstlinony before this
court. Admiral Schley gave four rea~
sons for leaving his station off San»
tiago. but no one of these. four reasons
appears in his telegraphic report made
at the time."
Mr. Hanna then took specification
of live of the precept relating to the clr-
cumsianres attending and the returns
for the disobedience by Commodore
Schlcy. of the orders of the department
inniainml .ii its despair-h dated May
27.. 189$. and the propriety of his con-
duct in the premises. in this connec-
tion attcntlon was directed to the fact
that the court was. by letter of August
l. mm. instructed that it is “absolutely
free to report if such shall be found to
be the case that Commodore Schley did
not wilfully dimbey orders. but that he
was justified in disobeying them."
Sir. Hanna contended that whilo:
(‘ommodore Schlcy was acting under
orders contained in dispatch No. 8.
when the retrograde, movement began
May 28. that order was superseded by
the dcspatches delivered on the Brook—
lyn May ‘27. by Captain Cotton. in com—
mand of the Harvard. and in one of
which it was said that “all the depart-
ment‘s information indicates the Span-
ish division is still at Santiago tie Cu—
ba." and to which the order war add-
ed- "The department looks in you te
ascertain facts. and that the enemy. if
within. docs not leave without decisive
action.“
.\ir. Hanna took issue with Admiral
Sciiley that this was it suggestion and
not a mandatory order. “So far from
being suggestive. doubtful or uncertain
are the terms of this order. that they
approach the verge of reproof.“ said
Mr Hanna "Their inri>lvv distinct-
iveness is notable. so much so that i
think few subordinate officers. having
turned their backs on a task (0 which
they had been assigned. would care to
be arrested in such act. by a telegraphic
order front a >uperior. couched in such
ternia.
Mr. Hanna quoted Admiral Schley's
despatch of May 27. in which be ex-
pressed regret at not being able to obey
ordrrs. saying that as it was written
after the Cotton dcspateh had been re—
ccivnl. it was an explicit confession
that the (‘otton telegram was an or.
der. Commenting upon this despair-h
he declared that it was "the most re—
markable one to be found in the annals
of the American navy.“ He contended
that the repairs to the Merrimac could
have been made. as titer were. without
going to Key West. and that the Texas
was not in severe straits for fuel. As
for the \‘lxcn she was not a fighting
ship. and could have been sent for cool.
The Brooklyn. he said. was Iibundnntly
supplied. He contended also that on
that date. May 31’. the condition of the
sea was not such as to prevent cooling.
the asserted that the weather was
tough only on May 25. and that there.
fore (intimation: Bchlcy's amnion that
the weather had been boisterous and
the am rough ever since leaving Key
West was unjustified bv the facts.
"Referring." he said. "to the indisputa-
ble evidence of the squadron loss. it ap-
pears that the Brooklyn could have re.
maincd on blockade about tantrum
days. the Hamchunetta about twenty.
four don. the for: eighteen don. the
Tau for-trail days. and the Marble-
hml six days. retaining still cool

and the action of‘Commodore Schley in
abandoning his ‘atution before Santiago.
thus. as he himself states. failing to
obey the lienui'itlnent's orders. created
grave anxiety in our national councilu.”.
Mr. Hanna expressed the opinion that.
the commodore’s statement that he
"could asteertaln nothing concerning
the enemy." disposed of the controver-
sy reapectlna Captain Slgabee'i-i report
to the com modore. and the statement of
the pilot Nunez. .
Taking up the coal supply of the fleet.
as required bv specification. six of the
precept. Mr. Hanna said: "From its-
timony of the t‘limmtllitlll‘" and other
officers of the Brooklyn. L lowa. the
Munsachusctta, the Marblehcad. and the
executive and other officers of tlic 'l‘ex-
as. and from the steam logs of those
vessels. it would appear that as full and
completely as any fact can be shown by
evidence it ‘llflii hrcn established that
the Flying Squadron was on May 27,
l8ilil. fairly well equipped with coal.
Specification 7 was next. considered.
This reoulrca an inquiry as to whether
every effort was made to capture the
Colon. as that vessel lay in the harbor
at Santiago. and referreing to it Mr.
Hanna Bald: "Willi respect to this
specification it seems sufficient to say
that when the Flying Squadron arrived
off Santiago on May 29. the (‘oion was
discoverer) in plain sight lying about
1.000 or 1.200 yards inside of the. Morro,
moored idem and stern. apparently.
with awnings up. and that she so re-
mained during the 29th. 30th and {list
of May. and until the morning of June
1."
in this connection My. Hanna refer—
red to the reconnaissance of May 31.
during which the Colon was bombarded
and said that "during this action not
one, of our ships had the Union under
fire for a total period of more than tivc
minutes and the (‘olon war not struck.“
“Certain cautionary orders. some of
them confidential in ibier character. is»

al Sampson. and printed in the record
of proceedings. and also in the nnpcn-
dix of the board of navigation. PP l7].

bidding the exposure of vessels to the
tire of batter-ice. and as justifying Com-
modore Schley‘s c’onduct of the tin-call-

ing that the subaiancc of these orders
were eommuuicti‘iiui to Commodore
§cliley by Admiral Sampson. at Key
West. on the lfith of May. tails. it is
dear that they have no application to
'he conditions existing at aSntlago. on
‘he {list of May. .
Mr. Hanna theu‘rcferred to the eighth
apecification of the precept. concerning
the withdrawal of. the ships of the Fly-
‘ng Squadron from the vicinity of the
harbor at Santiaxd at night. On this he
:aid: “it does or appear from the
‘estimony adduce‘ before this court

“r. Hanna said he did not feel compo-
tent to discuss it and therefore would
‘ontcnt himself with outlining its char-
ictcr.
Mr Hanna . 'd that beyond the
rBrooklyn's turn tie battle of Santinao
was not involved in the inquiry. He
:aid that according to the weight of the
‘estimony no disposition was manifest-
id bv the Spanish ships. to ram the
Grooklyn. With reference to the tes-
‘imony concerning the possibility of
‘oliision with the Texas. .\ir, Hanna
'alled attention to the fact that the
