TO HONOR SCHLEY.

Representative Berry, of Kentucky Moves
for Early Action by Congress,
Washington, July 5.-Representative
Berry, of Kentucky, a member of the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs,
to-day introduced the following joint
resolution:
Joint resolution rendering the
thanks of Congress to Commodore
Schley, U. S. N, and the officers and
men under his command:
Resolved, That the thanks of Con-
gress and of the American people are
hereby rendered to Commodor Schley,
U. S. N, and the officers and men I'M
der his command for their heroic and
distinguished conduct in destroying the
Spanish fleet in Cuban waters on the
Sd of July last"
The resolution was referred to the
naval affairs committee.
Mr.. Berry in speaking of his resolu-
tion said:
81 propose that the officer to whom
the glory is due shall be recognized.
Schley is the real hero of the incident.
He and the brave band of officers and
men under his immediate direction are
the ones who achieved the victory, and
all honor should be given them. Samp-
son commands the fleet in those waters,
but it was Commodore Schley in COM
mand when Cevera and his feet made
the plucky attempt to escape, and it
was under Schley that every one of that
Spanish fleet met its destruction.
Schley and his men have performed a
notable feat that will go down in his
tory hand in hand with that daring
forcing of Manila harbOr by Dewey on
May LIST. Congress should be prompt
in recognizing their services, and there
should be no delay in rendering its
thanks and those of the country to the
real heroes at Santiago"

For that reason any delay of offensive
