westward to Key W<*sr tiie witness told '
of breaking of tne Yal ’s uawser on the
Merrimac. He said mis had caused de
lay.
“What was the difficulty?” asked ‘
Captain Lemley.
“Improper securing of hawser on the
Merrimac. ”
“Was it due to tempestuous weather '
or not?”
“Nor at all.”
Mr. Hanna read the following extract j
from Admiral Schley’s report of Feb.
10, beginning:
“After having been informed by the
scout’s commander by such officers as
Sigsbee, Jewali and Wise that air hough
they had all be<m off Santiago de Cuba
for a week they had seen nothing of it
(the Spanish fleet) and knew nothing of
its movements or us whereabouts, etc.”
Ho then asued Captain Wise it be had
made sued a communication to the ad
miral.
“I did not.” was the resnon.se.
“Dui vou give Admiral Schley any in-
for’"Htiou respecting the Spanish squad
ron?”
••Only through Captain Sigsbee,” was
the re-ponee. “I did nor go en board
the Brooklyn at ail. I gave «. aptuiu
Sigsbee all me information I bad.”
“Hud you been off Santiago for a
week?”
‘Y was there from the morning of
May 22 until rh- evening of May 26,
wnen the flying squadron arrived.”
V. is-* < ro-s .“.x imilled.
Captain Wise wa# cross examined on
this point by Mr. Raynor. He asked: j
“From tne morning of May 22 to the 1
arrival of the flying squaurou on the I
evening of May 26 you were trying to i
get in touch wirn the enemy and watch- |
ing the harbor?”
“Yes.”
“You saw nothing in there?”
“I could not see any harbor at ali?”
“You saw around the corner of Cape
Smith?”
“We saw the masts of a small vessel.
Could not distinguish what it was.”
“You sent no one on shore to try to
establish communication?”
“Not at ail.”
“Isn’t the natural condition of the
harbor such that it is impossible to see
considerably up the harbor?”
“You can see omy a snort distance un
the harbor.”
“Anri there was nothing in sight
whatever, was there?”
“Nothing at all.”
The witness said that Captain Sigs-
bee had taken the dispatch beginning
“Get in touch with the enemy.”
The eonrt through Admiral Dewey
asked:
“Was it your duty or Captain Sigsbee’s
to convey the information in the dis-
patoh referred to toCommoriore S.-hley?”
“1 think it was Captain Sigsbee’s, as
he went immediately on duty and 1 was
intercepted by orders from the commo
dore to take the Merrimac in tow. ”
Mr. Hanna—“Did you receive any in
quiry, or did the commanding officer of
the flying squadron ask you for any in
formation at any time?”
“Nothing. *'
>»t in Hailing Distance.
Mr. Raynor continned his questions,
devoting himself especially to the sig
nalling between the Yale and flagship.
*>The witness said hs was sure .-hat on
May 26, when he heiled the Texas, he
bad not passed within hailing distance
of the Brooklyn, being 1^ miles dis-
tnt.

said that even then lie hud been the se
nior officer wmle <>ff Sintiago prior to
the arrival of 1 upmn Cotton. He h »u
not cominunded Captain Sigsbee to give
to Coinmodo'e Scniey ihe 111 forumt on
which he (Wise) had given to linn (Bigs-
bee).
“Did the batteries at or near Santiago
fire upon rhe Yule wmie she was reflou-
Duirering?”
“Not at all.”
“Who was the senior officer off San
tiago prior to the arrival of the flying
squadron?”
“I was senior officer utitil Captain |
Cotton came on the twenty-third. He ,
was there until the twenty-fourth,
and I was senior officer on the twenty i
fifth and tne squaurou came there on ;
the rweuty-sixtu. ”
“Did you not direct Captain Sigsbee
to give to Commodore Scniey the infor
mation that you had received from the
navy department with regard to the |
whereabouts of the Spanish squadron?”
“I did not. ”
At this point Captain Wi-e was ex
cused and Admiral Cotton was recalled
to make verbal corrections in the testi
mony given by him.
Admiral Cotton was questioned con
cerning some points of the Santiago
campaign. He said that on tne morn
ing 01 May 31, after arriving from King
ston. he had gone aboard the Brooklyn
with dispatches for Admiral Schley.
Asked by Captain Lemley to relate
his conversation with Admiral Schley
on tne occasion of that visit, ne said:
W liat ■ ellley ■'aid.
“He informed me that it had been as
certained mat some, at least, of the
ships of Admiral Cervera’s -quauron
were within the harbor at Santiago,
that they hud been seen ana were m
sigiu and, as a matter of fact, one of
them wa> in sight at the entrance ’.0
harbor. In language as nearly as can
remember he said:
“ ‘Alter dinner I am going to hoist my
fl tg 011 board tne Mas-aohuset s and
ta.te her and the Iowa and go in and
have a p >c snot at those fellows. ’ ”
Mr. Lemley:
“Anything further?”
“Tn -re was, of cour.«e, some further
conver-ariou. i cannot recall the word,
nor asm: irom wha: I have mentioned,
the nartl'mlar subjects.”
William C. Gray, who was chief ma-
chini.-r on rue T< xas during the battle
of Santiago on July 3, testified that on
that date ne had been on duty at tne
throttle of the starboard engine of rue
battleship. He said that when he went
to the engine room, the vessel was go-

was to stop, and a minute afterward to
reverse. The engines were then re
versed. ”
The witness said that the rever-e was
very brief, the revolutions nor exceed
ing 100 and time being snort. He had,
he said, heard afterward that the re
versal was because they were passing
the Brooklyn.
At 12:4.3 tne court adjourned for the
day to permit attendance at Judge Wil
son’s funeral.

Cleveland, Sept. 26. — The Iron i
...
Trade Review, discussing me iron sit
uation this week, says:
“The transactions of the week indi
cate sustained aud widespread activity '
in iron aud steel, with advances in '
prices of some material Large purch- |
ases have been made m rhe past week
from valley furnaces, and it is estimated
that 30,000 to 40.000 tons w’ere taken by
the leading interests, not to mention
upwards of 10,000 tons of basic iron.
These purchases, in addition to some
made by other steel companies, proba
bly bring the total of the wt-eu’s trans
actions in steelmaiung pig iron in the
valleys and Pittsburg ro60,000 tons.
“Tne price paid tor Bessemer iron was
$15.25 at valley lurnaces, about 25 cents
higuer than quotations maue in thre re
cent period of quietness in Bessemer
iron. The maintenance of the $15 25
basis is significant of the disposition of
large interests to have the present level
of prices preserved.
“Allowing for the appearance of ex
traordinary activity tiiat has followed
the ending of rhe steel strike in the.si
multaneous efforts of many buyers to
get their orders in early, mere are suffi
cient data to warrant confidence in a
strong market well into nexc year.”

Shamrock was apparently a few hun

In the first five minutes of the sailing
