Washington. August 26.-Admiral
Schley says:
1T is my opinion that the Spanish
admiral might have escaped with pos
slbiy one or two of his ships had he
adopted different tactics in coming out
of the harbor. Had he diverted the
course of his ships, sending some to
tie east and others to the west II is
belief that he might have escaped
IN one or possibly two of the veg
SIS. Such a course naturally would
have compelled US to separate our fleet
and some Of Cervera's ships might
have been able to have reached Ha-
yana"
