securing Of quarters in Paris and
other details will be left to Ambassa-
dor Porter.
Much preliminary work here has
been done by the department officials,
such as the collection of documents
treaties. books and maps which will
be used by the commissioners abroad.
The commissioners expect to be oc-
cupied at once several days In dis
oussion of the more Important matters
to come before the tribunal and in the
preparation of the American side of
the case.
The question whether the negotia-
tions with the Spanish commissioners
would be in the English or French
language will not be determined prior
to the arrival of the commissioners in
Paris.
Owing to the reports current, today,
that only three American commission
ers would be appointed, it was stated
authOritatively. this afternoon, that
the commission would consist of five
members and that one Of the commits
eioners would be a Democrat
At the close of office hours, Secre-
tary Day went from the state depart
ment to the White House where he
held an extended talk with the Presi-
dent, presumably upon the final make
up of the commission.
The meeting of the three commits
sions. today, will be the only one Of
a concerted character until September
Is, when the five commissioners will
come to Washington for final con-
ference before sailing for Paris.
In the meantime, the two commits
sioners yet to be appointed may come
to Washington if it is convenient, al
though there is felt to be no necessity
for a conference until Sept. IS.

United States Ship New York, Guanta-
namo Bay, Cuba, Aug. 8. 1885,
Slr-I am greatly obliged that you have
called my attention to what appears td
have been an injustice to your ship. ON.
GERS and crew. for the part which they
took in the action OF July g. and also fol
the very proper manner In which you
have presented It. think. however. that
you will agree with me that, in submit
ting such report to the secretary Of the
navy. where SO many officers are vitality
interested and justly proud OF their ship.
It Is no easy task to do 50 without appar-
emily unjustly bestowing praise. 1t re-
quires very careful consideration of the
report from every point of view to avoid
misunderstanding.
2-The position OF the ships of the
ships of the squadron must be carefully
considered to fully appreciate what 1t was
possible for each vessel to accomplish
under the circumstances In which she was
placed. Those that were to the westward
OF the escaping enemy were certainly bet
ter placed for stopping the enemy. and
also better placed for delivering their fire
than the vessels to the eastward. which
was the blockading station OF the In
diana.
3-NO distribution of the feet could
completely predict and provide against
every variation of such a s0rtie. nor do l
consider that any commanding officer de-
served either credit or blame, because
the ship under his command was faster
or slower than another Ship or carried a
heavier or lighter battery: but rather
that the commanding officer was blame
the proper place for destroying the enc
my. just in proportion to the advantage
which he possessed in speed. battery or
position over his neighbors.
Each commanding officer. in my
opinion. was personally responsible for
the good use which ne made Of the tools
with which he had to work. / cetainly
did not intend to criticize you. nor to be-
stow less praise upon the Indiana than
was bestowed upon any other ship Of the
squadron.
5-The fact that the commanding officer
of the Indiana was signalled to return to
blockade at the mouth of the harbor.
after she had SO calamity contributed to
the destruction of the Spanish ships, was
only a necessary precaution which the
commander in-chief felt Obliged to take
to prevent disaster to the large number of
transports which were left in that vicin-
lily when the fleet started in pursuit of the
enemy. e5}
There were still some armed vessels re-
manning in the harbor of Santiago-at
least two. and we did not know then how
many more-which could have come out
In the absence of the fleet and produced
great havoc among the troop ships. which
were defenceless in the presence of an
armed vessel. e..
6-This explanation. together with your
letter. will be sent to the department.
with the request that it may be attached
to and form part of the original report.
Very respectfully.
