THE REPORT OF SAMPSON.
ONLY PART MADE PUBLIC.
The Admiral Tells of the Operations
Which Preceded the sinking of
CerScrn's FIeet-The lombard
ment of San Juan and Schley's
Instructions.

Washington. Oct. 24.-The navy de-
partment has made public that portion Of
Animal Simpsons report covering the
conduct of the fleet under his command
i'll its operations in the West Indies for
about two months prior To the destruction
of Cerveras ships on July 3.-It consists
hrpel, of official dispatches and the move
nent, OF the fleet, with explanations and
comment by the admiral.
The report is dated August 3, on the
flagship New York, and begins With il
statement of the determination reached
by the navy department to send a squad
ron to the Windward passage for the pur-
pose OF observation. because of infolma-
ticn received of the sailing on April 20 of
Admiral Cervera's squadron from the
Cape Verde islands. On the voyage east
ward from the naval base at Key West,
which began May 4, Admiral Sampson re-
port. there We're experienced endless
trouble and delay because of the inetfi-
cicnoy of the two monitors accompanying
the other ships and which had to be taken
in tow. Their coal supply was so small
that it wa, evident that they must either
frequently coal on be towed. The admiral
says:
Had the sea been rough, or had the
enemy appeared at this juncture, the
squadron would have been in much bet
ter position for an engagement had the
mentors been elsewhere. Subsequently,
when engaging the batteries of SAN Juan
it vas evident that their shooting was
very bad. Owing to the quick motion OF
these vessels, even in Il moderate sea
they were unable to fire with any degree
of accuracy"
Among the kilograms received by the
admiral from the department at Wash
inston when oil Cape Haitien was the
following:

Sent SchIey to Santiago.

On may p instructions were gotten by
Sampson for Commodore Schley and sent
him via the Marblehead regarding the
possibility of the Spanish fleet being at
Santiago. They are in part as follows
81. s. Flagship New York first ratel
Key West, Fla, May -, lS9S.-Sir:
Spanish squadron probably at Santiago dc
Cuba; four ships and three torpedo boat
destroyers. If you are satisfied they are
not at Cienfuegos, proceed with all dis
patch but cautiously, to Santiago de
Cuba, and if the enemy is there blockade
him in port, You will probably find it

The admiral said he felt much concerned
as to the delivery of these orders. and
sent duplicate by the Hawk with an adj
ditional memorandum. The admiral sug
gested that if the information did moi
reach Commodore Schley before daylight
OF Nav % to mask the real direction hi
should take as much as possible. He adds
And then follow the Spanish squad
ron, whichever direction they take.
The admiral off Havana gives copies o
orders of battle which were to be follow
ed in the event that Ceryea left Santi
ago on the approach of Schley's fleet from
Cienfuegos and attempted to cruis'
around the coast to Havana, in whicl
case the Havana squadron would attemp
to intercept him by going east 100 mile
beyond the junction of Santaren an'
Nicholas channels. Strict orders wer
given for screening lights and to see tina

A consultation was held on board the
fla gship, and the admiral says that he
decided to stand on toward the east as far
as San Juan, Puerto Rico, on the chance
of finding the Spanish squadron in that
port, where, if they We're not successful
in destroying it, it could be at least
blockaded and held, The squadron arrived
oft San Juan on the morning of the 18th
and the bombardment of the place en-
sued, Regarding his action at this place
the admiral says
1T was clear to my mind that the
squadron would not have any great diff

place, but the fact that we should be held
several days in completing arrangements
for holding it; that part of our force
would have to be left to await the arrival
of troops to garrison it; that the move
ments of the Spanish squadron, our main
oil ective, were still unknown; that the
flving squadron was still north and not in
II position to render any aid; that Ha-
vana, Cervera's natural objective, was
thu, open to entry by such a force as his,
while we were 1000 miles distant, made
our immediate movement toward Havana
imperative. | thus reluctantly gave up
the project against san Juan and stood

Attorney for Nrw Mexico Writes of a
Secret Order.

| Attorney for NV Mexico Writes OF a
| Secret Order.
Washington, ID. G, Feb. 5.-Wylie
B. Childers, United States attorney
for the territory of New Mexico, has
just written the department of JUS
tice the details of what he considers
dangerous conspiracy.
He relates in precise cfficial form
that secret agent OF one of the big
railroad corporations has just in
formed him with every particular
that secret or9apizatiop, known as
the American Patriotic league, il
gaining ground in the towns of
Ration and Blossburg, N. NJ, and
Trinidad and La Junta. Col. and
the surrounding country. This Or
ganization has for its motto ''Liber-
ty, Land and Leisure
In the district represented by the
towns mentioned there are about
10000 miners and small farmers.
During the A r. U. strike it was
one of the most turbulent portions
of the country Regular troops
were sent there. The strikers bit
terly resented the invasion by the
troops and have always threatened
that when the next strike came they
would teach the soldiers a lesson.
Mr.. Childers represents that the
oath taken by the members of the
American Patriotic league provides
that each member shall within sixty
days of his swearing allegiance,
equip himself with a rifle and be
ready for emergency.
The oath also contemplates, says
Mr. Childers, struggle with the
national government, as each mem
Der is pledged to proceed on orders
to accomplish the death of the pres
ident and his cabinet by the use Of
dynamite. As part of their program
the members of the New Mexico
contingent have applied to the ad-
jutant general Of the territory to be
enlisted in the national guard of
New Mexico, to be supplied with
arms and ammunition and one or
two gattling guns for battle prac-
tice. The adjutant general has re-
piled that until the various compa
MES are enrolled and organized no
arms can be issued.
Mr.. Childers informs the depart
ment that tho threat of these men,
high flown though they seem, are
not to be treated lightly.

Debs vs. GrosscuD.

Topeka, Kas, Feb. 4.--Eug enc
V. Debs, in replying to the recent
criticism of Judge p. S. Grosscup,
characterizing Debs as a malcon-
tent and an agitator, publicly pro.
claimed that he would seek an op-
portunity to meet Judge Grosscup
in a Joint discussion of the issue in
volved in the great strike of 1894.
Judge Grosscup in an interview,
during recent visit to Topeka, de-
olared that Debs inspired the A. R.
U. strike, to which Debs replied in
public speech to night.
'That statement 1 brand as 3
falshood, pure and simple"
Mr.. Dsbs then said:
''If was guilty, why did Gross
cup and Wood not have the trial we
demanded"
Debs arraigned the Federal judi
cary severely, and said:
There are some honest Judges.
but the exception proves the rule.
A Federal Judge is measured by his
ability and will to serva the inter.
ests of corporations. An instance of
this kind is furnished by the recent
appointment of Attorney General
