seem to feel most for us, and since this
class has suffered particularly through
lack of employment for three months,

as great as ours, we cannot in con-
science apply to them for aid. Even

NEW YORK, December 1.-General w.
r. Shafter was to-day shown a copy or
Admiral SIMPSONS report on the opera
lions of the United States fleet at San
tiago after the destruction of the Spanish
squadron. in which the Admiral de-
nounced as false the suggestion, which
he attributed TO General Shafter. that the
navy was unwilling to cooperate in fore
ing an entrance to the harbor. and inti-
mated that the services Of the navy were
not properly recognized by the commander
of the land forces.
General Shafter did not conceal the fact
that Admiral SIMPSONS criticisms an
noyed him greatly, but he declined to go
into any extended reply to them.
FOUGHT OVER BEFORE.
This controversy has been fought over
before" he said. "The records speak
for themselves. My letters and dispatches
to Admiral Sampson. as given in his re-
port, tell the story. L have nothing to
add to them"
The General went over the newspaper
SYNOPSIS of the Admiraps report, and
pointed out that the correspondence given
therein showed that he had requested
Admiral Sampson to send representa-
tive to the ceremonies Of the surrender
of Santiago, and that he did not sign
the terms of surrender himself. "As
did not sign them, l certainly would not
consent for Admiral Sampson to do so"
