SCHLEY IN WASHINGTON
Files His Porto Rico Report and Will
Now Take Rest

Washington. Nov. 12.-Admiral Schley
today presented to the president, the sec
rotary of state and the secretary of war
copies of the report of the Porto Rican
| evacuation commission. This report con-
tains a record of the proceedings of the
commission from day to day, all of
the interesting features of which have
been published. In the MAN. 1t is nothing
more than transcript of the daily rec
ord of proceedings Of the commission,
noting each proposal made to the Spanish
commissioners and their courlter-propos-
ais and winding up with an account of
the ceremoies attending the end Of Span
ish sovereignty and the assumption Of
control by the United States forces.
The admiral is looking thin as the re-
suit OF his laborS afloat and ashore during
the past summer He is DESTROYS of tax
ing rest in the mountains for a few
weeks before undertaking any active du-
ty. AS to his next assignment he says
that he has made no request and is con-
tent TO allow the navy department to de-
eide that question.
Coming to the navy department about
10 o'clock, Admiral Schley called first I'D
on Captain Croninshield, chief of the nav
igation bureau, in company with I.ieuter-
ant Sears and Ensign McCauley of his
staff. His presence was announced to
Secretary Long and he chatted for a few
minutes with Captain Croninshield until
ne was admitted to the secretary's Office.
The conference between Secretary Long
and the admiral lasted nearly half an hour
and at the end of that time the admiral
quietly slipped over to the White House,
eluding, as far as he could. a number of
persons who were lying in wait in the
corridors OF the navy department to see
