Washington, Feb. 21.-Rear Admiral
Schley, having been granted permits
sion to answer the charges made
against him in communication re-
Gently sent to the senate, yesterday
handed to the committee on naval af-
fairs his statement in which he dis
claims any purpose of controversy
with the navy department. The adj
miral says his orders from Sampson
on May 18th were to blockade Glen
fuegos, which he proceeded to do. On
his arrival he sent Commander Nc
Gala, of the Marblehead, ashore to es-
tablish relations with the insurgents,
the result of which was made known to
him at $40, May "a. Then, for the
first time he learned definitely that the
Spanish fleet was not at Cienfuegos.
Within two hours he started for San
tiago. What possible ground for
criticism" he says, adverse to me
there can be in all of this do not see.
l was on the spot acting under or
ders which gave me entire discretion
and yet clothed me with the RESPONSE
bility of going to Santiago, only after
l was satisfied that the fleet was not at
Cienfuegos." He quotes from a dis
patch of Sampson, May Goth, in which
the latter says Schley should "hold his
fleet off Cienfuegos.' His slow
progress toward Santiago he attributes
to the Eagle, which he states
was a part of the force which
Admiral Sampson had seen fit to send
him and he had no right to abandon
her. He had been ordered to proceed
cautiously" If, however, he had
known the Spanish fleet was in Santi-
ago, no consideration for the Eagle or
anything else would have prevented
him from getting there at the earliest
possible moment, with the larger yes
sells, but weather and sea made it i'm
possible to do better than he did.
Speaking of the "retrograde move
ments" which the secretary, adapting
the language of Admiral Sampson,
characterizes as ''reprehensible con-
Duct" Schley say that in his 81 years
of service, never was such language
useu TO characterize conduct of mine
and l see no reason for it now"
Continuing, he declared that when
the enemy's vessels came out of the
harbor of Santiago, the signal was
made from the Brooklyn (his flagship
to the fleet to "clear for action Then
followed the signal "close action and

HOLIDAYS IN FRANCE.

The school boys of France have more
holidays than work days in the year.
Two hundred and six holidays in the
year, as against 159 school days!
That's the record of public instruction
in France. To begin with, there is tie
regular midsummer holiday, which
covers a period of GA days. That's
pretty good for a starter. Then there
are the Sundays. They are holidays of
course everywhere, but they count an
additional So days. Then ten days are
allowed for the proper celebration OF
Christmas and New Years. To be thor
oughly observant of the great feast of
Eastertide Is days are given. Thurs
days are holidays, and that means So
more days of no labor. All Saints'
comes in for three days holiday, st
Charlemange two days, Shrove Tues
day and Ash Wednesday two days,
Whitsuntide three days, and three days
to make merry when the national fete
in July rolls round. The rest of the
year the children are supposed to
study.

TREATING THE GRIP.
Quinine and Phenalgin Sovereign
Remedies.

La grippe" is an infectious disease
whose specific germ is a bacillus pos
sessing ne power of augmentation or
subdivision thus multiplying with
great rapidity when favorable me-
dunn is attacked. 1t is taken into the
body from the atmosphere through the
nose and mouth. Its action causes a
congestion of the air passages (nose,
throat and lungs), similar to acute
catarrhal conditions.
But further, it causes severe con-
stitutional disturbances which mani
fest themselves by neuralgias, muscu-
lar pains (myalgias), fever and chills;
and causes congestion of various in
ternal organs, leaving the patient de-
bilitated with weak heart, neurasthe-
mia and frequently with weakened
lungs ana kidneys. These latter con-
ditions are often aggravated by rem
edies injudiciously taken during the
course of the disease. and fatal terml-
nations are sometimes traceable to the
use of drugs which are calculated 60
further depress the already weakened
system.
Bearing in mind the leading symp-
toms ana tendency of this disease. it
is wise to avoid any drug which will
weaken the hearts action or depress
the patients vitality in any way.
Most drugs used to relieve pain are
depressing in their after effects. Most
drugs used TO reduce fevers are weak

lis p. M, the Brooklyn was nearest,
the Oregon next, and then came the

mahSer-in-chief assumed command of
the squadron. The signals were made
from the Brooklyn to the squadron un-
til all the signal halyards were shot
away and then by the Meyers army
code.
In conclusion Schley contends that
the turn of the Brooklyn in the battle
of July Sd was "the crucial and decid-
ing feature of the combat and Of decid-
ed advantage" Furthermore, he says,
it is mistake to say that the vessels
distance from the enemy was increased
to the extent of 800 yards, and adds:
Though this may not be of record it
is a fact nevertheless" He cites the
fact that charts of the board of navi-
gators show that the Brooklyn was
the nearest when the Spanish vessels
emerged from the harbor,
the nearest at every stage of
the battle and nearest the Colon when
it surrendered, and gives many con-
firmatory details of his fiagship's ac-

rises to 100000, and calling out the

necessity arise the militia would be
