The recommendation of the committee
that the local w. c. r. U societies discon-

Colon, has not been advised Of the return
TO Norfolk of the third expedition sent
down by the wreckers for that purpose.
He has not ordered the abandonment of the

5eetured here that the wreckers returned
to Norfolk owing to the fear of a tropical
hurricane off Hatteras, to which they
would be peculiarly exposed. owing to the
fact that they were towing pcntoons and
were otherwise unfit to encounter severe

FREDERICK, Md, August 9, 1893.
Mr.. Henry Watterson editor OF the
Louisville Courier Journal, who is here as
orator on the occasion of the unyeiling Of
the Key monument, was seen by Star
correspondent today. There are many
friends of Commodore Schley here, who
have never ceased to uphold their hero in
the contention that has been raised be-
tween Schley and Sampson. Mr.. Watterson
has taken a decided interest in this con-
troversy, and today remarked:
"The Secretary of the Navy says that he
is unable to account for the bitterness of
the criticisms leveled against Admiral
Sampson. Undoubtedly these criticisms
have their origin in a popular impression
that from the beginning of the war it's
military and naval dispositions have been
laid on very narrow and more or less pro-
scriptiYe lines, that favoritism has been
the order of the day, and that Commodore
Schley was one of the victims of these pro-
oeedings. This may be. unjust to Sampson.
But 1t is a direct. uncouth way the people
have of righting wrongs, real or supposed"
Criticism of Secretary AlHer.
Speaking of criticisms of American man
agement in the war that have come from
London, Mr.. Watterson said:
1.-THE arraignment of the Secretary of
War by the London Times is but the over
ture to the music which will presently fol-
low. Clearly somebody has blundered from
first to last Politics, and very question
able kind Of politics, has seemed to rule

Keep the Philippines.
Asked what he thought should be done
with the Philippine Islands, Mr.. Waiter
son replied:
'"rhe administration should be warned by
the circumstances of it's earlier diplomatic
dealings with the Spanish cabinet. AS a
matter of fact, it is true that upon the
record 1t win be shown that we declared
war against Spain when Spain had acced-
ed to every demand made by Mr.. Mckinley
through General Woodfond. That we can
afford to be generous goes without saying.
But We owe obligations apart from Spain.
Whatever the flag flies over we should

fore us, they will put no greater strain
