Washington, Oct. 17.—The first new Witness caned besore the Sichiey coart oi itqairy wus Lieatenaut Ooniniauder T.^D. Griflin. woo as iieuteuaut was the senior watch oilicer on the Brooklyn ^uruig the war with Spain. After him came a number of junior officers, wuo served on the BrooKiyn during the cam paign. Before any new witnesses were sammoued a number of former wit nesses were called for the purpose of correcting their former testimony. It had be«u the intention of Admiral Schley’s counsel to propound yesterday a number of questions to the court ^^hicu it was proposed to put to the wit- ^jRisses for the purpose 01 determining wo what extent Admiral Sampson’s con- necrjgu with the present inquiry could be gone into, and it was not decided until tne beginning of the afternoon session to withhold the questions. This decision wus then reacued largely be cause it was believed that the intorma tiou intended to be t-lictted by tne ques tions could be secured in a more direct and certain way by Lieutenant McCau ley’s testimouy regarding signals on July 3. . Sampson’s Kelntlou to Inquiry. The questions which had m en formu lated for pres ntatiou previous tw Mr. McCauley’s taking tne stand related principally to the movements of Ad miral Sampson’s flagship, the New York, on July 8. the day of the battle ■ Jkoff Santiago, and especially to the sig n^Jfnais oi that nay directing the fleet to disr< guru the flagsnip’s movements. It is still the intention to pre-ent other questions involving Adinir.u Sampson’s relation to the inquiry ue ore the c:o>o of the case. It seams probaole mat the presentation will be oe'erred mini a time saordy before the beginning of Admiral Schley’s testimony. The first oi yostt-rnav’s witnesses called lor tne correction of te.-nmony was Commander Mason, ami after mm came in succession L uienant Com mander Star-, Lieutenant McCauley and Lieutenant Webster. Quite a num ber o qutsuotis were addressed to Liea- tena .t Webster by Mr. Hauua Kepiv- iug tiie witness saui tiiat he n.ed ,-ceu Signal iignts at uignt on me snore while lying oil Santiago In connection with tne question of tne distance off' shore at di^ttnnu'gn Mr. Hanna asked: Jp^Wrile tne ve P >el> were on bleed ade si San i-igo, from May P9 to ‘13 inclu sive, were you able, uurmg me night, to distinguish points cn shore readily While you weie on wa ch?” The wire's- replied m the uega’ive. “Couio you mage out Aguidores und Cabana.-':” .Noi f- uni liar With ( oast. “I was not familiar with the coast at that time and would not have known those points under any circumstances, but it was so dark 1 think 1 could not have seen them.” ‘•What wa> tne background?” “The higo hills back of Santiago did give us good points later wneu we were familiar with them. We could see tuem quite readily. ” “Could you discover the snore line at nighii” “Not the line of breakers, if there were any.' _ “Comd you see the vessels on tne in ner nicset line at night?” “Nor without tne aid of the search- lighcs.” On redirect examination Mr. Raynof asked Webs er concerning tne Hearing oi the Iowa and tue Texa- on tne morn ing ot July 31, the uegiuniug of me battle. The witness admitted mat they bor * abaft the starboard beam of me fc oo lyu, tne Texas being to the right oi me Iowa. The Brooklyn was headed, he says, north or norm northwest. In reply to another question by Mr. Raynor, he stated that alter the stirreu- uer of tne Colon, July 3, be had gone to the foreca-tle to iwos for other ships. He bad only seen the Oregon and the Texa«. The smoke of other vessels was Visible between the vessels ibemsbives. Wneu Lieutenant Webster was ex cused, Lieutenant Commander Grifliu was called. He ga7e net ails of the ienfugos campaign, saying that me iistanceo: the blockading line was from thre - to seven miles, being farther out at night. Heavy 'Sea Impeded Kleet. Speaking of the voyage from Cien- fuegos to Santiago, the witness said tbs weather was heavy, and tiiat there wal a short, choppy sea. He also said that the heavy sea had impeded me flaet by delavins- the smaller vessels, especially the Eagle. AsKed by Mr. Rayno" Concerning a conversation between Commodore Schiev ann tue commander of tne Kagle, the w itness sain: “I was present when the conversa tion rooK place, although I cannot give the exact words. Wneu tue Eagle came up astern of the Brooklyn the comrao- » dore bailed the commanding officer of that vessel and told nun in substance that he could not delay the squadron any longer on his account and mat n« wanted him to proceed to Jamaica for coal. The commanding officer of the Eagle seemed very desirous of remain ing with the squadron and expressed sincere regrets at being obliged to part with the flying squadron. “What kina of weather was the E*gi« making on May iO when that conversation took place?” Plowed I broilgi) ( hoppy **«». “As I expressed it, heavy weather, a abort, choppy sea, and the Eagle aud Vixen were both pitching considerably. ” “Did you hear the commanding officer of the Eagle talk to the commodore about coal on that occasion?” “I do not remember. ” *‘V5m heard the whole conversation?” “I did, hot I do not remember that he asked to coal It would not have been possible; at least, it would no r have bee: safe. ” Ai Santiago tho witness snid that the blockading line was n mite or two closer in at night than uurmg tue.day and on May 'jy the fl et stood out 8 or 4 miles. There were picket boars inside the line, bnt he.did not »ee them. “Dni you ever have any conversation with Commodore Schiev before Juiy 3, ^'dative to the Brooklyn going to Guau- l.aiamo for coat?” “In substance, I mentioned the fact that ocher snips of the squadiou were in the habit of going to Guautauamo for coal. He haa uau some difficulty in coaling in the open off Santiago. Tne commodore replied that ne had been asked on several occasions if he wouid like to go to Guantanamo, where ho could coal qmetly aud give the officers aud men a rest from the strain of block ade. ” Would Not Desert Station. “His answer was in substance that he preferred the station in case the Spanish mignt come out of the harbor.” Referring to the battle of July 3, the witness said that, it was his du y to look after the lower decks, consequently he had not seen a great deal of tne fight. “Were any cheering or encouraging mess tre- sent among the men that you know of?” “(J-e message which seemed to cheer the men below very much was that there were three Spanish ships on our starboard beam, all firing at us.” Commander Griffin said that when the Colon gave up tne conflict the Ore gon was close ou tne Brooklyn's star board quarter aud mat tne Texas and Vixen were within sight astern. “Can you speak ot tue conunct, bear ing and manner of Commodore ticuley during the engagement in wuioh you saw him?” “He impressed me as being remarka bly cool considering what had just oc curred. He was perfectly natural in manner ana bearing.” Witness was then cross examined by Mr. Hanna. LINEMAN’S TRAGIC DEATH. Touched Live Wire and Kell to tin* Ground a Cor pie.
