Wood, as next in rank, assumed the

1t happens, fortunately for Santiago,
that General Wood was most compe-

Commodore sohley's Ancestor.

The Rev. Edward Huber of Baltimore
has shown that Commodore Schley an
cestor was Thomas Schley, a German
sohoolmaster, who, in 1875, came to
Maryland from the Palatinate with
about 100 settlers, part of whom were
Swiss. They founded Frederickstown,
which they called Friedrichstadt. The
Rev Schlatter, "A Swiss German mis-
sionary, who visited the United States
from 1746 to 1867, writes, in his
travels In America, that he consid-
ers it "a special privilege Of the Fred
erick congregation to have the best
schoolmaster met in America. When
the Germans, in 1870, conquered France,
and even before that time, in 1866,
when they gained their victories in
Austria. it was said that "the German
schoolmaster had won the laurels Of the
German army" At Santiago the de-
scendant Of German schoolmaster, as
it seems, won the victory for the United
States. Baltimore Sun.

curate estimate Of the Spanish loss during
the American approach upon Santiago.
After the Battle
Speaking of the proceedings after the
first battles, he explained that he had been
reported sick and there were some move-
ments just prior to the battle at Ell Caney
with which he was not familiar.
Il was not Sick" he said, ''but I had
been on the 10th and Goth. Still had not
gone on the sick list. had fever but I
appreciated the situation, took medicine
and came out all right"
lie was in the battle Of Ell Caney and
expressed the opinion that more men had
been Killed in the formation Of line than
afterwards. He told of the necessity for
wading the San Juan River. saying that
the water was about waist deep.
II ought to say" said the General. in
the course Of his testimony, "that it was
magnificent to see officers Of high rank
go ashore with their packs on their backs
accepting all the fortunes Of war with their
men. They slept on the ground with the
soidlers. None OF US were mounted and we
were without tents for seven days"

they were very good. The rains had not
been severe up to that time. The roads
were narrow, but equal to the demands
The supplies he considered sufficient, ex-
cept IN a few instances and in those in
stances the deficiency was only temporary.
General shafter," he said, deserves
great credit for the zeal he displayed in
this "a
task and I think there Is no doubt that he
succeeded. We used pack trains and there
was comparatively little suffering because
Of the shortness Of the quartermasters,
supplies"
The Objective Point
General Wheeler said in response TO a
question that Cervera's fleet was the OBJ
jective point Of the compaign; there was
no reason why the Spanish troops should
not have made a sortie from Santiago, and
he had asked General Toral, after the sur
render, why he had not attacked The lat
ter replied that the failure to do so was be-
cause his men were footsore. Yet General
Wheeler could not accept this explanation,
for the Spanish soldiers were not footsore.
General Wheeler's opinion was that the
Spanish commander was not able to face
the Americans in the open.
Discussing the plan of campaign he said
he doubted whether any more effective
plan could have been adopted. Speaking T
the Medical Department he said that at
times there were complaints, but that they
were not serious. On occasions there was
shortage of surgeons, some of the surgeons
being sick or wounded. According to Gen.
Wheeler's belief he wounded In battle
were promptly q ID for by the surgeons.
After the fight of July 1 all the wounded
were carried from the field that night.
