| Pettigrew of South Dakota offered the

thanks of Congress to Commodore
Schley for destroying Admiral Cervera's
| squadron, and asked that it be re-
| ferred to the Committee on Naval Af-
| fairs:
| Resolved, That the thanks of Con-
gress and the American people are
| hereby rendered to Commodore Win
| field S. Schley of the United States
naval force operating against the Span
| ish forces in Cuban waters for highly
distinguished conduct in conflict with
| the enemy as displayed by him in the
destruction of the Spanish fleet, off the
| harbor of Santiago, Cuba, July 3, 1893.
Section THAT the thanks Of Con-
gress and the American people are
| hereby extended through Commodore
| Schley to the officers and men under
his command for the gallantry and skill
| exhibited by them on that occasion.
Section 3-That the President of the
| United States be requested to cause
this resolution to be communicated to
| Commodore Schley, and through him
to the officers and men under his com
| mand."
| Commenting upon the resolution,
| Pettigrew said the impression had been
| conveyed to the public that mot Com
| modore Schley, but another man." had
achieved the great success. Il know"
| declared he, 1--WE shall be obliged to re-
| move that impression by absolute proof
| to the contrary. All the accounts Of
the battle agree that Commodore
/ Schley was in command of the vessels
of our fleet. He pursued the last Of the
/ Spanish vessels sixty miles, and per-
| sonally brought to an end the most re-
markable naval duel ever fought
| Stewart of Nevada thought Admiral
| Sampson had been unfortunate in the
wording of his official announcement
of the victory, and in not giving in
| that dispatch the credit due to Com
modcre Schley. He thought it had been
| due to Schley that the credit be given
him by Sampson, but he believed that
the latter would yet do justice to the
| Commodore.
Hale expressed great confidence in
the character and ability of Admiral
Sampson and Commodore Schley, and
said the conduct and achievements of
| Schley during the historic battle had
been most admirable. He felt assured
that the little agitation concerning the
| bestowal of credit now disturbing some
minds would disappear in the full light
of the facts. There was, he said, glory
enough for all in the destruction of
A
it would be properly distributed.
/ Allen thought at least few days
delay ought to elapse before action was
| taken upon the resolution, and it was
referred to the Naval Committee.
| At 5:05 the Senate went into execu-
| tive session, and at 6:15 p. m. ad-
| journed.
