1T WAS SCHLEY'S BATTLE.
sampson Not Present at the Beginning,
and Watson Didn't Get There Till
After the Fight

WAsnINGToN, July s. The navy de.
partment had no additional deta - on
the annhlation of the Spanish fleet,
and it was said that the dispatches
from sampson and Watson giving the
essential facts were not likely to be
followed by more minute details except
through the mail Admiral Sampson was
not present when the engagement be-
gan and CommodoreW Watson S dispatches
of Monday night indicated that he had
reached Santiago after the fight. In
the absence OF both Sampson and Wat
son, the direction of the fight wonld
have fallen to Commodore Schley, and
being in the heat of the engagement
on the flagship Brooklyn, it seems
probable that he gave the signals
by which the American ships maneu'
vered and selected their various points
of attack. The department officials
feel the same sentiments of gratitude
for all the officers participating in tht
great battle, and it is felt that each O
them contributed to the utmost ac
cording to the circumstances of his po
sition.
