sion to answer the charges recently made
against him in communication recently

committee on naval affairs his statement,
I'm which he disclsims any purpose Of con-
troversy with the navy department. The
letter Of the department he says. SO far
as It relates 20 him. can be summarized
under the following heads:
"The delay Off Clenfuegos: that alleged
slow progress toward Santiago De Gu
IA from Celnfuegos. the retrograde move
men's Of the Goth and 9th OF Nay; the
battle OF Santiago and the destruction OF
Cerveras fleet"
The admiral says his orders from samp-
son on May 70 were 70 blockade Ceinfu-
egos. which he proceeded TO do lie had
no knowledge that there were any in
surgents about Ceiufuegos who were
friendly until the Marblehead arrived on
the 2ith. Then he sent commander Me
Gala. Of the Marblehead ashore to es-
tabllsh relations with the insurgents. the
result Of which was made known TO him
at $40 p. m. on May "a Then for the

Spanish fleet was not at Celnfuegos. With
in two hours he started for Santiago.
What possible ground Of criticism" he
says, adverse TO me there can be in all
this, I do not see. I was on the spot
acting under orders which gave he en-
tire discretion and yet clothed me with
the responsibility Of going to Santiago on
ly after I was satisfied that the fleet
was not at Cienfuegos."
