sCHLEY DEFENDS HIMSELF.
Disproves Statements Made About Hin
by Department.

Remained on Cienfuegos by Orders of
Admiral samp.on-sampson Was
Also 10 Blame for His Slow Progress
TO Santiago.
Washington, February 90-Rear Ad-
miral Schiey having been granted permits
sion to answer the charges made against
him In the communication recently sent
to the Senate, today handed to tho COM
mittee on naval affairs his statement In
which he disclnims any purpose OF con-
troversy with the navy department.. The
letter OF the department, he says, 80 far ms
| t relates to him, can be summarized I'M
der the following heads:
The delay of Cienfuegos; the alleged
slow progress toward Santiago d" Cuba
from C.enfuegos; the retrograde move
ments of the Goth and 9th Of May; the
battle Of Santiago and the destruction of
Cervera's fleet
The Admiral says his orders from
Sampson on Msy were to blockade Glen
fuegos, which he proceeded to DO. He had
no knowledge that there were any insur-
gents about Cienfusgos who were friend
ly until the Marblehead arrived on the
cath. Even had he had this knowledge on
the card Of May, the surf would have pre-
vented the communication. On his ar
rival he sent the commander of the
Marblshead ashore to establish relations
with the insurgents. the result OF which
was made known to him at $40 of May
"a. Then, for the first time. he learned
definitely that the Spanish fleet was not
at Cienfuegos. Within two hours he
started for Santiago.
What possible grounds for criticism,
he says, "adversa to me there can DO In
all this, do not see. ] was on the spot
acting under orders which gave me entire
discretion and yet clothed me with the re-
sponsibility Of going to Santiago only
after was satisfied that the fleet was not
at Cieufuegos.
He quotes from the despatch of Sanp-
son OF May 20 in which the latter says
Schley should 'hold his feet Oft Cienfue-
gos II the Spanish ships have put into
yana or to Cienfusgos to deliver the
muuitions OF war which they are said to
bring for use in Cuba. ! am therefore OF
the opinion that this best chance to
capture these ships will be to hold the
