SCHLEY NOW DETACHED
The Hero No Longer Commands
the Flying Squadron.
HIS MISSION FULFILLED
Commodore CrovnipshieId Says
There Is No Longer Any Reason
Tor maintaining the Organization
Over Which the Admiral Presided
NO Significance in the Order.

The order Issued yesterday detaching
Admiral Soh,ey from the command Of
the second (hying) squadron Of the North
Atlantic station, occasioned some COM
ment because Of the fact that when Ad-
miral Sampson visited Washington last
week Assistant Secretary Allen stated that
neither he nor Admiral Schley would be
relieved Of their commands on account
Of their appointments on the Cuban and
Porto Rico military commissions
When the order appeared yesterday
Mr.. Allen was asked respecting its sig
niftcance but he frankly stated that he
did not knew whether there was any
significance or not, whether 1t was a
temporary or permanent arrangement. OF
what would become Of the admiral at the
expiration of his present assignment. and
referred the inquirers TO Commodore
Crowninshield, chief Of the Bureau Of
Navigation.
That official at first said he could see
no occasion for discussing the matter.
that the order was plain and spoke for
itself. II was stated to him the inquiry
originated in a reflection upon the state
ment that neither Sampson nor Schley
was to be disturbed in his command.
His Mission FuIflIed
There is no reason for contrasting
Sampson and Schley in this matter" said
the chief Admiral Sampson is in CON-
mand of the North Atlantic station. and
will remain in that position even While
engaged as military commissioner in Gu
~
the Flying Squadron, a division of the

anything for him 10 command. The mis-
