Washington, Sept. 6.-Ever since the
Y printed reports of the sensational ut
"A terances of the naval chaplain, Joseph
TIP. Mcintyre, reached the navy depart
II ment the officials have been making a
q quiet inquiry into the accuracy of the
" newspaper publications.
a The chaplain, who was attached to
a the Oregon and was on board when Ae
8 battle of July was fought, was ac-
Vi credited with some savage criticism of
a Admiral Sampson, Captain Evans and
various other of the officers of the
q American fleet, insisting that to the Off
Il GERS and men Of the Oregon alone be-
longed the victory achieved over the
Spanish squadron.
He was particularly severe on Cap
tain Robley d. Evans, whom he charge d
b with cowardice. Apparently the navy
department has now satisfied itself that
! the chaplain really uttered the language
ascrbed to him, for 1T has ordered his
trial by court martial on charges to the
prejudice of good order and discipline
and unbecoming an officer The chap
lain is now on leave of absence in Dem
