Admiral Simpsons chief claim to distinc-
ton seems to be his criticism of those who
won distinction during the war. Luckily for
Dewey his operations were in another hem
the caustio pen of this naval and military
satir1st, but his turn may come. The admit
raj, who is so ready to take to himself the
credit of other peoples exploits may find
some excuse for invading even the Philin
pines The method of Sampson appears to
be to wreck the country's heroes on side
issues. When he found that the public in
teiligence would not be stultified by his
claim to the honors of battle in which he
was not participant, he endeavored to stir
up prejudice against Admiral Schley by
charging disobedience of orders long before
the battle occurred Even had the charge
been true, Sampson could not be ignorant of
the universal custom that the achievement
of a great victory wipes out all minor COM
plants against an officer. But it was not
true. 1t was most disiEgenuous attempt
to besmirch the reputation of brother Off
Ger. 1t had no effect on the public mind,
the people not being in a humor to listen to
petty charges against one of the greatest of
if il were voiced would be, Go and do
what Schley did, and you may then be in
a position to criticise him." The attack on
Shafter is another attempt to snatch laurels
from hero The Sampson letters are full
of what the writer was, going to do, but
painfully barren OF anything done by him.
Shafter had asked Sampson to reduce the
forts and attack the fleet. Sampson retorted
by telling Shafter to take the forts but
fortifcatioLs. which he never did. 1t turned
out subsequently that there was not fort
that could stand an hours bombardment of
a cruiser or battle ship at close range
Shafter thought Sampson was placed at
Santiago for some purpose, and the only
purpose he could imagine was to destroy
the Notifications but if he had waited for
the admiral TO do the work, he would still
be confronting Toral and his Spaniards.
Shafter went ahead and captured the town
and the army, and then Sampson magnani-
mously claimed share OF the plumber.
This correspondence is not pleasant reading
for the American public. Neither the facts
nor the animus are such as to enhance ma
tional pride. 1t is difficult to understand
what object the department could have had
in publishing it. Congress viii probably take
the view of the questions involved which
prevails the world over. The man who
fights and wins battle on land or sea viii
get the credit and not the one who might
have done SO If he had been there. To puI-
ugly feeling in the country, dangerous to
the party responsible for it.
