The Closing I'lcu n Admiral
hHiluv'x Ijiiwj '!.
Mr. Ray nor said ho siood upon
thn testimony (if Captain Cook)
who hud tho best opportunity to
ivii all thi; iiiformatiuii about j
the" loop. What might huvo
happened had the Brooklyn
turned to port was purely a
matter ol conjecture the turn
i)i the other direction was com-
pletely bueeessful It was inti
mated that the turn to the outh-
ward had been to ret away from
ihe enemy yet it was an in
disputable fact that the turn had
brought the Biooklyn closer to
the Spanish lleet una she re
tuived thirty of the fot ty-tlireo
hhots which ctruck the A inert
win ships.
Mr. Ray nor then discussed
the testimony of Heilner and
Hodgson and in this connection
said the chart prepared by tho
navigators of the ships in tho
battle "for all purposes of liisto-
rioul accuracy" might as well be
h than or the battle of Tber-
ifiopyhu. or the tield of Waterloo.
As a disastrous failure the chart
was a magniticeui success "
Mi R'lynor then took up
specification No 10 concerning
the Hodgson controversy Ho
uiri he would fall back on Cap-
tain Cook who had said thai the
danger of collision had never
entered his head
Even if Commodore Schloy
had said 'Damn the T.imis.' '
continued Mr Ray nor "it would
not have been a very serious
matter as it could nol havo been
meant seiiouslj."
Down in Aunarundel county.
Maryland" he said "they uso
isuch language in salutation
naying 'Damn you how are you
his morning?"
"Tho trouble about all this"
Kuid Mr. Rayner "is that a
'newspaper has been taken too
horiously. Never quarrel with
u newspaper" he continued
"unless you own one yourself."
Mr. Rayner then took up the
tirst specification A d m i r a I
Kchloy.'s .conduct during the
campaign
"Now we come to Mr Wood
and Mr Potts." he began "Mr.
Potts and Mr. Wood; Mr Wood
and Mr. Potts" (luuirhed in Ihe
court). 4
After reading the testimony
us to tho splendid bearing of
Admiral Schley he read tho
testimony of Mr. Potts to tho
effect that the admiral appeared
nervous that he got up and sat
down "
"Lieutenant Potts" went on
Mr. Raynor. "has covered him-
solf with rouown. His name
will echo thvough the agos of
undying fame. When Manila
shall havo been forgotten and
Sautiago bo buried io oblivion
tho name of Potts shall live.
"Whenever m admiral or a com-
modore or a .captain is engaged
iu tho carnage of mortal conflict
beware of Potts. Beware of
your looks."
"Be careful how you walk
Be careful how you stt down.
Bo reserved and retfeont in your
speech Model your entire
course nnd conduct of action tic
cording to Potts that precocious
child of the kindergarten who
con losses that he was always
seated when ho was in battle
but who unfortunately was
never engaged iu any battle
suflieient enough to arouse his
timidity "
At this point Captain Lomly
protested ugainst Mr. Radnor's
strictures on Ltentenani Com-
mander Potts and his protest
led to a dramatic scene.
"Mr. President" said Captain
Lemly. "counsel is not abiding
by the facts. Lioutonant Com-
mander Potts has never suid
that he was always scared when
he was in battle. He is traduc
ing the reputation of an oflicer
who is well known to you an
oflicer of ability and high stand-
ing Many instances have oc
curred in which counsel has ab-
solutely misstated tho evidence."
Mr. Rujner: "And you havo
no right to traduce tho reputa-
tion of Admiral Schley. You
say I have made a remark that
he said lie was scared."
Captain Lemly. "There ugain
he is inaccurate and is not stat
ing facts."
Mr. Rayner then read from
the evidence of Mr. Potts to
prove his statement about the
hitler's being scared. "How
does that suit you" he asked.
It does not suit" Captain
Lemly said. "I still say it is
incorrectly stated and may the
court please I don't think that
counsel should say this is an at-
tempt to traduce Admiral
Schley I am here not because
I wanted to be but because it is
my duty. I was ordered to
come and I think it is unjust
and shows how utterly unreliable
he is iu his statements."
Mr Rayner "I don't think
the court will permit this. You
must not make a statement of
that sort. I will not permit it. '
Admiral Dewey: "No."
Mr. Raynor: "Ho is not only
unreliable but very offensive."
Captain Lomly: "Counsel gots
up and says 1 hat wo are in tho
discharge of a most paintul duty
trying to traduce Admiral
Schley."
Mr. Rayner: "I havo borne
willingly testimony to tho im-
partiality with which ho has
tried this case and the delicate
position ho occupies but I do
ask my brothor not to got up
and contradict me and say that
I am unreliable when I read tho
testimony which sustains me."
Admiral Dowoy The court
of course will read all tho testi-
mony that has boon given Wo
will bo governed by tho testi-
mony. Wo know exactly what
Lieutenant Commander Potts
said. Ho said ho was scarod
but counsel did enlarge a little
on it.
Mr. Raynor Yes I probably
did onlarge.
Captain L6m)y And that said
I am sorry I mudo the rdnlark.
Mr. Raynor then took up tho
fifth specification alleging dis-
.tho Brooklyn and in which
positivo statement was inudoi

that it was certain that it had

obedience of the order of Maj
iif). He argued that there was
nothing positivo in tho depart
merit's information; that it was
not until tho order of Muy L7
(w ilch did not teach Commodore
Schley until Juno 10) was sent
that there was anything abso-
lutely positive The question
to him as to whether he could
coal at Cape Cruz the Mole or
Gonaives. could not be con-
strued as a direction to go there
to coal In other words the
dir-putch wus not a mandatory
order. Besides every com
mauder at tho front had certain
discretion even in carrying out
mandatory orders.
Mr. Raynor told iu graphic
language how Nolson hfid dis
obeyed orders at Copenhagen
and had won immortal fame. If
Commodore Schloy had dis
honestly disobeyed orders if he
had betrayed his country if he
had disobeyed in bad faith. Mr.
Raynor said it would call for
condemnation. Ho continued
"We know now that tho
Spanish lleet was in Santiago on
tho 19th of Miy. but on that dato
the whole world was doubtful
on that subject I stand by the
testimony of the Cuban pilot by
the incident of tho Adula by the
undoubted conversation with
uapiain &igsoeo atiu uy tne re
port as to tho chuoing capacity
of tho ships with the coal on
hand which exonerates tho ad-
miral from tho slightest criti
asm or censure."
Mr. Rayner than took up the
consideration of specification I.
covoring "the circumstances at-
tending tho arrival of the flyiug
squadron off Santiago; tho rea-
sons for its turn westward and
departuro from off Santiago and
tho proprioty thereof."
Mr. Rayner referred to the
meeting of Commodore Schley
with Captain Sigsboo of the St
Paul upon tho arrival of tho
Hying squadron off Santiago
Speaking of tho captain he said !
'A more honest witness than
ho nover took the stand nor is
there a moro gallant and ollicient
omcoroi mo navy tnan no is
Unfortunately he has gotten
himself into a predicament be-
cause against him is an over-
whelming array of testimony in
roferonco to tho comm unications
ho held with Commodore Schloy
off Santiago and which abso-
lutely justifies the admiral in
taking the courso he did."
Mr. Raynor said Captain Wise
on the Yale Captain Sigsbee on
tho St. Paul and Captain Jowell
on tho Minenpolis cruised
around Santiago for several
days and added: "They wore
there for tho pnrposo of finding
out if the Spanish fleot was in:
bantingo the same purposo that
Commodore Schlev was there
for. Thoy did not find out.
Commodore Schloy did. Thoy
go scot free and Commodore
Schley is to bo condemned."
Mr. Rayner then referred to
tho department's dispatch of
May 10 which Captain Cottou
testified to delivering on board

mony of Cant Mlllor she was
absolutely helpless. With a
broken down collier with the
Marblehead which could not

causo of the projecting sponsors

ships with only a sufficient
amount of coal on hand to get
half way to Martinique; with tho
positivo assurance of Capt. Sigs
bee sustained and corroborated
by the Cub'in pilot mat the lleet
was not in Santiago; ho did the
only thing ho could do and that
was to turn to tho west for coal.
When the weather cleared and
the sea became smooth he coaled.

!! and struck down the Spanish
fleet at the same time taking
fiom Spain her ancient posses-
sions nn the face of the Amen-
can continent."
Mi. R'lynor closed as follows:
"Such a trial as this has
never to my knowledge taken
place in history. It has taken
three years to reveal the truth.
There is not a single word that
has fallen from the tongue of a
single witness friend or foe
that cast . he shadow of a re
flection on the houo-ed name of
the hero of Santiago He has
novor claimed the glory of that
day. Tho valiant Cook tho
heroic Clarke the lamented

daunted Waiuwright and all the
other captains and every man tit

board of every ship aio equal
participants with Admiral
Schley in the honor wrought

'God bless tho Oregon' was the
cheer that rang from the deck to

" Well done; congratulations

bout from the halyards of the1
Brooklyn and from that daj to

mi ml Schloy the slightest whis
per or intimation that ho usurped
tho gloty of that imperishable
hour.
"The thunders ot tho Brooklyn
as sho trembled on tho waves
havo been discordant music to
tho ears of envious foes but
llioy havo pierced with a ringing
melody the ears of his country
men and struck a responsive
choid at tho firesido of every
home. And what is more than
all which has been revealed in
this case as matchless as is his
courage and as unsullied as his
honor is his beautiful character
and the- generous spirit that

Mr. Raynor closod at 11:30
o'clock having spoken about
three hours
The large audience broke into
applause whon he concluded and
the members of tho court as
well as others congratulated
him on his speecli
