There was a day when rumor reach ed New York that the Baltimore had been blown up-as the Maine was. What really happened was this: War between Chi1i and the United States was imminent. There was talk away down there of combined attack on the Baltimore to be made by the Chil- ian cruisers Esmeralda and Almirante Cochran and by torpedo boats. On either side of the Baltimore lay the German ship Leipzig and the British Melpomene. Captain Schley requested their commanders to change their an- chorages and give his guns a fair
 show. They did as requested. the Englishman rather unwillingly. There was no fight.
 Maybe Schley did wear the chip on bis shoulder a little too prominently. His transfer to the lighthouse service was construed as a rebuke. It was not until 1895 that he again. received com
 mand of a ship. Schley wears a fine gold watch. It was voted to him by the Maryland legislature after his res
 cue of Greedy. More than this he values a handsome ebony cane with gold head, given him by the crew Of the Baltimore when he was relieved of the command. The spokesman chosen by the seamen on this occasion touch ed his cap and. with scrape of his foot. said: '.You know, sir, that when you were an officer the regulations would not allow us to give you a pres ent, but now that you have given up the command of the ship you are only a gentleman"
 He is born fighter. Wherever since the war broke out there has been a
 promise of trouble Schley has been pretty apt to be on the spot. He is resolute, resourceful and daring. quick to decide in an emergency and conf dent in himself It would always be
 his instinct in battle to take the of fensive, to strike the first blow It is said that when he was appointed to the
 command Of the flying squadron he went to the president and begged per mission to go to meet the Spanish fio- ti1la Of torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers which had started across the ocean.
 He urged that the approaching ar mada could not be regarded otherwise than as a serious menace. Spain ir sending it was to all intents and pur- poses committing an act Of war. At the very least. it ought to be stopped and made to go back. If it would not comply with this command, then it should he attacked.
 Tn 1863 Commodore Schley married
 Miss Mamie Franklin Of Annapolis, an attractive young woman of good old Maryland stock She is . very jolly and popular woman, and as ready to dance or make merry as she was quarter of century ago. They have three childen, Thomas Frank lin. Virginia and Winfield Scott. The only daughter, Virginia. married, in 1890. Ralph Granville, Montague Stew art Wortley, a nephew of the earl of Wharncliffe If he cared to stay in England, Wortley would be no end of swell. Like young Paget, W. C. Whitney's son-in-law, he prefers to stay in this country. He is a hustling American railroad man and financier, with headquarters in New York, and doesn't use all his names.

 None of his scrapes were very seri- ouS, however, except one. That was when he challenged fellow officer to fight. To issue such challenge was a serious offense, but the matter was overlooked because. as President Lin coin remarked little later on a sim liar occasion. the American people are always ready to find an apology for man who is guilty of being too ready to fight.
 He was bold and spirited petty of ficer in the war. serving on the block ade ships, but of course too young for important command. Nevertheless he became known as plucky youngs- ter. ready for anything.
 Probably no naval officer in the world has had such varied experience of so many kinds, in war and peace, as Schley.

The Brave Commodore, His Varied Ca
 reer and the Kind of Man He is.

Commodore Winfield Scott Schley,
 whose prompt action in destroying Cervera's squadron is now the talk of
 the world, was born in 1S40 on his
 fathers farm, a tract of land compris-
 ing 300 acres, situated along the Elm
 mitsburg turnpike road, three miles
 north of Frederick City, Md. His faith
 CT was John T. Schley, a brother of
 Colonel Edward Schley, whose de-
 scendants are today among the most
 prominent and best known people of
 Frederick. There were seven in the family of which John T. Schley was
 member, all of whom inherited large
 'arms, and several of them fought with
 distinction in the Mexican war. Thom
 IS Schley, the Maryland founder of the
 ,amily, was an Alsatian by descent and
 began life in the town of Frederick
 away back in the last century.
 Commodore Schley's father married
 Miss Virginia Mcclure, beautiful
 woman of Baltimore. She died a few
 years subsequently,, and her husband died some years ago in Baltimore.
 When the commodore was not more than few years old, the Mexican war
 nero, General Winfield Scott, was a guest of his father at Richfield (the name of the farm). The friendship between the men was so great that soon afterward the youngster was named Winfield Scott schley in honor of the old warrior
 As boy he was full of fun. mis- 1l To fond of climbing trees, robbing birds nests and seemed never to tire of play ing tricks on his "woolly headed" old uncles, all of whom. nevertheless bought the world of the prankish lad His early years were spent on his fathers farm, where he lived until about 16 years Of age. when he was admitted to the naval academy at Annapolis. Before entering the acad- smy he spent much time in company with his first cousins. the children of the late Colonel Edward Schley, on the latter's large farm not far from
 his own home. The boys and girls of each family played together in com Dany with the children of the colored
 slaves and none was more lively and mischievous than Scott
 Tn those SOOQ OIQ tunes the ScnteNS owned farms of several hundred acres
 pr more and the principal event of the
 season was harvest time. It was no
 unusual thing for Colonel Edward Schley to lay in an extra supply Of eat
 ables the week before harvest, for wei he knew that those who gathered his golden grain would need it all before the .wind blew over the stubbles' Harvest times in those days brought out a force of willing helpers-willing because the bows used to make 50 cents Q day while the slaves. men and
 women. Of course. were made to work without compensation. Tn 1852 among those who gathered sheaves in Colonel i Schiey's harvest field at the rate Of ! 50 cents q day was Winfield Scott Schley He worked eight days, made l ls4 and the receipt for his payment is now in the possession Of Mrs. Laura Schlev Chapline, his first cousin. who with her family resides in Frederick. Commodore Sch1ey did rot distin- r77isA himself ct the naval academy,
 where he graduated in 1860, near the foot of his class. This was not owing to dlllness or lack Of natural ability, but because he was so busy with i'm
