u. S. Flagship New York, first rate.
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, July q.
My Dear Mr.. Secretary.
L am led to write at the present
time on account OF the publication Of
an article which appeared in the papers
Of the 10Th inst. in which Commodore
Schley is made to say that he had stat
ed, apparently to the writer, that he
had over and over again declared it
possible to enter the harbor of San
tiago, notwithstanding the mines.
Commodore Schley called upon me
yesterday and voluntarily stated that
the publication of the article on the
10Th was false in every particular; that
he not only never stated anything OF
the kind, but that he had never even
thought of it; that he had always en-
tirely agreed with me on this question;
and that he did not know a single Of
ficer whose opinion differed from mine.
AS have reason to believe Commodore
Schley has been misrepresented, have
taken the liberty to address to you
telegram upon this subject this morn
ing, and as | am about to sail for the
east l trust that it will receive your at
teution at an early date.
Very respectfully.
