THE REPORT OF SAMPSON.
ONLY PART MADE PUBLIC.
The Admiral Tells of the Operations
which Preceded the Sinking of
Cervera'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
Admiral Simpsons report covering the
conduct of the fleet under his command
in its operations in the West Indies for
about two months prior to the destruction
of Cerycra's ships on July Sit consists
largely of official dispatches and the move
nents of the fleet, with explanations and
comment by the admiral
The report is dated August ;, on the
flagship New York, and begins with a
statement of the determination reached
by the navy department to send squad
ron to the Windward passage for the pur-
pose Of observation, because OF mtolma-
tcn received of the sailing on April % 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-
ports there were experienced endless
trouble and delay because OF the inetti-
cicnCy of the two monitors accompanying
The other ships and which had to be taken
in tow Their coal supply was SO small
llldl IL WAS cNlutllL lIldC LllV llluob Ei'Il'l
frequently coal or 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 was evident that their shooting was
very bad Owing to the quick motion OF
these vessels, even in a moderate sea,
they were unable to fire with any degree
of accuracy"
Among the kilograms received by the
admiral from the department at Wash
ineton when off Cape Haitien was the
following:
"Washington, d. c., May &, lSoS-Do
not risk or cripple your vessels against
foltihcations 50 as to prevent from soon
allerward successfully fighting the Span
ish fleet, composed of the Pelayo, Carlos
v. Oquendo, Nizcaya, Maria Teresa, Girls
tJbal Colon, four deep-sea torpedo boats,
if they should appear on this side.

Bombardment of San Juan.

\ consultation was held on board the
flagship, 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 i'll that
port. where. if they were 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-
sueu. Regarding his action at this place,
the admiral says
1t was clear to my mind that the
squadron would not have any great diff
Guilty in forcing the surrender of the
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
menls of the Spanish squadron, our main
objective, were still unknown; that the
flying squadron was still north and not in
a position to render any aid; that Ha-
yana, Cervera's natural objective, was
thus open to entry by such Il force as his,
while we were 1000 miles distant, made
our immediate movement toward Havana
inperative | thus reluctantly gave up
the project against San Juan and stood
westward for Havana

On may 81 instructions were gotten by
Sampson for Commodore Schley and sent
him via the Marbehead regarding the
possibility of the Spanish fleet being at
Santiago. They are in part as follows;
It. 5. Flagship New York first rate
Key West, Fla, May -, lS9S.-Sir;
Spanish squadron probably at Santiago de
Cuba; four ships and three torpedo boat
de,troyers 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
necessary to establish communication
with some of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
or others to learn definitely that the
sliI, are in port, it being impossible to
see into it from the outside.
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 not
reach Commodore Schley before daylight
OF May % to mask the real direction he
should take as much as possible. He adds:
"And then follow the Spanish squad
ron, whichever direction they take"
The admiral of Havana gives copies of
orders of battle which were to be follow
ed in the event that Cervera left Santi-
ago on the approach of Schley's fleet from
Cienfuegos and attempted TO cruise
around the coast to Havana, in which
case the Havana squadron would attempt
to intercept him by going east 100 miles
beyond the junction of Santaren and
Nicholas channels Strict orders were
given for screening lights and to see that
none were accidentally shown. The
squadron was to cruise generally TO the
eastward in the day and westward dur

NOT AFRAID OF INVESTIGATION
MR. OVERsTREET SAYS THE REPUBLICAN,
PARTY WILL NOT BE EMBARRASSED BY
INQUIRY OF MILITARY COMMISSION
GRY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

tRY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
Washington Sept 22.-"Therc Is no founda-
tion for the talk that the Republicans are hke'y
to be embarrassed by the developments OF the
military investigating commission, said Repre-
sentative Overstreet secretary OF the RepupH-
can Congressional Committee, to-day. we are
far from wishing to avoid an investigation
There is no reason why we should hesitate 10
have the blame fixed where the blame belongs
1t will cut no figure in the political campaign
of the Republican party.
The great fact stands out plainly. and cannot
be dctractcd from in any way. that the Repun-
lican Congress made adequate provisions TOT
conducting the war. Money and supplies were
voted without stint, and the majority In power
stood ready to provide all that was necessary
a Republican Administration waged the war 10
early and decisive conclusion, bringing about
results which were the marvel OF the world ana
for which there is no parallel in military MS
tory
Now. II in the course of events. there were
scattered cases of ncompetency upon the part
of individual officers and commanders, of dis
honesty. even. why should we assume That the
guilt is to he laid at the door OF the Republican
party Administration? In the hasty assem-
bling of a mighty army. in its hurried depart
ure for the field. and equipment under the most
adverse circumstances on account OF the heceS-
sity OF speedy action. it is quite possible that
incompetent individuals would get into the ser
vice and cause confusion and disaster
But there is no reason why there should ne
hesitation in hunting them down. In hXing upon
the guilty the blame for their incapaclty or
dishonesty: and when they are discovered the
Ropubncan party is not to ne saddled Win 'he
responsibility for their misdeeds.
Let the investigation come, let II he thorough
and searching | know that is what the fresi-
dent wants. and what every Repuplcah waits
