wv. T. SAMPSON.
Rear Admiral, L. S. Navy.
Commander in Chief L. S. Naval Force,
North Atlantic Station"
Schley Justified.
A naval officer who made 4 study of
the map which accompanies Commodore
SIMPSONS report said last night:
THE principal value of the map is that
it shows the course taken from Key
West to Santiago and return by the flying
squadron under Commodore Schley 1t
shows that in obedience to orders Schley
first reported at Cienfuegos. where it was
believed Cervera was at the time Schley
left Key West. The Secretary of the
Navy and the other naval officers shared
this belief
While Schley was at Cienfuegos con-
fiicting reports reached the Navy Depart
ment that Cervera was at Cienfuegos, at
Santiago. off the coast of Venezuela. and
off the north coast of Haiti Schley's
individual opinion was that the Spanish
squadron was in Cienfuegos harbor. He,
therefore, remained off that port until
definitely informed that Cervera was at
Santiago.
''Schley has been criticised for not NOV
ing from Cienfuegos TO Santiago before
receiving definite instructions. AS mat
ter of fact no one knew where the foxy
Cervera was, and when Schey was SO
ordered he moved promptly. He had with
him but one collier, the Merrimac, an
old refitted wreck, and this broke down
when Schley was before Santiago. He
could not coal in an open. stormy sea
from this old hulk and sent word to the
department that he would be obliged to
return to Key West to coal his ships.
1.-The department then saw its error and
the predicament in which 1t had placed
Schley. They sent him instructions to
remain at Santiago and forwarded col
liers to him with SIMPSONS relief squad
ron.
.It is said Schley was rebuked for de-
laying at Cienfuegos and also for leaving
Santiago. And that for both these rea-
sons he was practically relieved of his
command on the arrival of Sampson. The
record shows that Schley was justified
in both actions, and that 1t was only the
regulations of the navy which gave
Sampson the command as soon as he had
made junction with Schley's squadron.
Sampson naturally assumed control as
the higher officer on the scene of action"

Wives Of New Jersey Congress-
men Not Invited to Wash
ington Parties


In a special dispatch from Trenton, the
Newark DAILY Advertiser had the follow
ing aimazng story on Saturday last:
Runners which reached here daily from
visitors to Washington indicate that all IS
not as lovely and harmonious among the
New Jersey representatives in Washington
as it might be.
IT was thought that the New Jersey Con-
gressmen would naturally take pride IN the
great social success and leadership at the
capital of the Vice President, but it seems
that social leadership carries its jealousies as
as well as its successes.
During the season now just closed with the
advent of Lent, New Jersey Congressman
were several times invited to social functions
at the Vice Presidents home and now there
is said to be a general kick all along the
line because, as one Congressman recently
expressed it to a prominent Trenton polite
ian, ''our wives We're not invited" Con
gressmen Howell, Pitney, Loudenslager and
Parker" said this Congressman, received
large square missives in the regular style
with engraved invitations to attend Mr..
Hobart's great entertainment on January 26,
which was attended by the President and
Mrs. Mckinley, but there was no request
that these Congressman bring their wives.
"You can imagine with what degree Of
pleasure these members attended the recep-
Jon. Congressman Howell attended, leay-
ing his wife at home, while two other
Congressman took their wives anyway,
Drawing whatever social odium such a pro-
ceeding might bring.
THE entertainment" continued the Con-
gresham, went off all right as far as we
could see. Ex-President Harrison was there.
and the social leaders of Washington, but
the New Jersey delegation got together in a
corner during the reception and proceeded
to roast the management who sent out the
Invitations
Friends of the Vice-President, who are
legion in Trenton, defend him against these
stories of sights to members of the New
Jersey delegation.
"If the wives Of New Jersey Congressman
were not invited" say they, lit was because
they were either not known to be in Wash
ington or were not in the habit of attending
social functions. OF course, it is now
that the Viee-President's residence in Wash
ington is not large enough to accommodate
the very great number that always attend
these functions, and if a few invitations
went astray it is not to be wondered at"
Those of the Trenton people here who have
visited Washington came home greatly pleas
ed with the social prominence that New Jer-
sey has in the capital, and are highly eompli-
mentary to the Vice-President and Mrs.
Hobart
