"H.?w far waj the Oregon from tho Brooklyn?" "From 1,000 to 1,500 yards on tho starboard quarter." The witness, in reply to quostions, continued his ror-ort of the ba tlo. He said thai at tno Cogifmog of tho fight ho had given tho range at 1 400 yuidi, but thwt after tho loop it was about 2,400 or 2,500 yards. Mr. Kayaoi: "What was tho bonring of Commodore Schley during this engagement or any engagouiont in which you saw him?" "His bearing and mauner, with rospcot to an ofiic ;r of his rank and station in tho naval service, vscro naturally those of a comuiauder iu oniof oi a naval forco on that occasion. Tho witness said the ommandor had occupied \ piaoo on the platform around tho conning tower during tho cngagemout. This, ho said, was a position of danger as tho oommodoro was thero always in full view oflho unnniv'a uhino " "it has bcon stated here," said Mr. ltay nor, "that tho Brooklyn ran 2,009 paras away from tho enemy's ships in making her loop." Tho witness ropliod: "Any witnobs who m&do that statement although no may have statod what ho thought had soourred, waa absolutely mistaken." "liow far did sho go lrom tho enemy's vessels?" "Sue must havo gone about 600 yards to tho southwest, as that ii about tho taotioal d.stanoo at that spcid." 4 Did this turn intoifero with tho Brooklyn's ability to keep up hor fire?" "It did not. Sho oontinued to iiro from her aft turrots." "Did you over sco tho Indiana dur ing tho ongagewont? ' 4T did not. Tho smoko was vory lonoo in tho direction of tho Indiana." At this point Mr. lUynor questioned tho witnoss at length concerning his repoitod colloquy with Admiral bohioy during tho battlo off Santiago in whioh tho oommodoro was reported to havo laid: "Damn tho Texas." Mr. ltaynor askod tho witnoss if it was not Captain Cook who had givon tho ordor to "port holm." The reply was that Captain Cook might havo given tho order to the man at the wheel. Mr. Kiynor then asked: "Did Com mod oro Sohloy givo tho order to port tho helm?" "Ho did," was tho reply. "Was tho helm at port?" "I guess so. Captain Cooks says jo." 01 j otion was mado by Captain Lornley to ho ujo of tho words "I guess" by tho witnoss, but Admiral Djwey Baid Lho form was immaterial ana asked that oountol should not interrupt. Continuing his statement in his rosponao to Mr. Kaynor's question, tin witness baiu that when his convocation with Commodore Sohloy had ooourrod on tho Brooklyn tho oommodoro was standing oq tho platform around tho oonuing tower and two or throo foot lrom fclffiflelf (tho witness) and that Captain Cook, a part cf the timo, Blood iu the door ol tho conning to wor tour or five foet distant. Ho said Caplaio Cook Lad lakou part in tho conversation. Mr. Kaycor then qucstioaod the witnebs very closely iu regard to tholauguago iu wLioh hisoolloquy was reported by tho iiowspaicri and tho languago used ov Mr. Hodguon in his uorr-spoiidonoo with Admiral Sohley. Ho road tho newspaper version ct Comoiander Hodgson's siati inout of iLooolltquy as follows: bahloy: "H trd aport." Hodgson. ''You mean starboard." bobley: "No I don't. Wo arc noar enough to them (; he Spaniards) already.' Hodgson: ' but we will cut down the Texas." bohloy: "Damn tho Texas; let hor lookoui for hernolf." Mr. liaynor then had tho witnons Borutinizo tholottor whioh he had writton to Admiral bohloy on Juae 8 and recall from him tho statement that he had not then informod tho admiral that KnnBTWn. jWWYpfa CONWAY ho had iiHod the cxprt s iron, "Damn tho Toias." When tho witnosB wan at-kod if ho thought that thoro was auy buggoatiou of buoh an exprossion, ho roplied: ''When I suggoitod to Commodore Schley that thcro was danger of oollid ing with the Texas ho said: 'Damn tho Texas.' Ho mod tho expression aa not in any way condemning tho Texas for hoing thoro, but an if ho wore im titrd an ono might bo about anything. Mr. It ay nor a-kod thou about tho ex probsion attributed to tho witness: "She will out dowD tho Texan?

"There ia a good doal in thoroportod colloquy that 1 did not say," ho aai-J. "Tho atatoinont thoro waa utver mado,' ho weut ou, "but tho ooutmodoro did say, 'DAinn tho Texas.' " Continuing ho said that tho dialogue as roportod waa fictitious and that ho hod denied its vorbal accuracy, while not denying tho truth of a part of it.
