THE SCHLEY INQUIRY. A Brief Summary ol the Progress o the investigation. In the Schley Court of Inquiry Thursday, J udge Advocate Lem ly formally admitted that it would he impossible for the gov ernment to prove that the iufor mation said to have been mega phoned to the Scorpion for Com modore Schley, while the lattei was en route for Cienfuegos, evei reached that officer. The basis of this admission was a deposi tion from Commander Adolph Marix, at Manila, the purport ol which was in the possession ol the Navy Department at the time Lieut. Commander Southerland was put upon the stand- to tell his story of the message. Lieut. J. H. Holden, formerly watch officer of the Scorpion, testified that to the best of his recollection the log of iliat ves sel, which showed Southerland's message to have been "No news from the Spaniards," wascorreet. Lieut. Commander VY. II. Schuetze, formerly navigator of the Iowa, testified that the chart showing toe positions of the ships oil the day of the battle was signed by him under protest, because he was told that if hedid not do so there would be 110 agree ment until doomsday. Lieut. Commander Albert \\. Grant, formerly of the Massa chusetts, described an episode not previously referred to. He said that on the night of May 2.">, while the squadron was proceed ing to Santiago from Cienfuegos, the erratic movements of the Brooklyn caused a general mix up among the ships. The court still holds that Ad miral Sampson is not a party to the inquiry, but says that when his presence is desired he will be notified. In the Schley Court of Inquiry Friday, Capt. Chadwick, of the New York, and Admiral Samp son's chief of staff, testified that he did not give the McCalla code of signals to Commodore Schley because he (McCalla) wished to give them to the ships himself; that Schley told him at Key West that it would be impossible to blockade the Spanish ships if they wanted to escape, and that he (Chadwick) protested to Ad miral Sampson when the latter wrote Schley a letter of congratu lation upon the character of the blockade which had been main tained. Capt. Chad wick also tes fitted that information received by Col. Allen at Key West re moved all doubt from the mind of Sampson as to the fleet being in Santiago harbor. It was after this that Samp8onseut an indefi nite dispatch to Schley. As on the previous days, anuni ber of youhg officers were on the stand. They all testified strong ly along the lines of the N'avv Department's precept, insisting that the blockade was maintained at a great distance from shore; that the attack upon the Colon was not intended as a reconnois sance to develop the batteries, and that the latter were very weak. Among the officers who appeared were Lieuts. Adalbert Althouse, Francis Boughter, T. G. Dewey, Ernest L. Bennett, and C. C. Marsh. Admiral Taylor,who command ed the Indiana, testified that he had no intimation that the Span ish fleet intended to leave San tiago harbor. ruiuicu raragrapu>.
