Navy Department Taking stepa to Ascertain
the Truth About tho Brooklyn's Loop.


WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE Navy Depart
ment has again taken coRnizancc OF tho mat
ter which has come TO be known as the Samp-
son .Schley controversy. and is conducting an
inquiry to ascertain all the facts in regard to
the peculiar loop made by the Brooklyn In the
naval battle OF Santiago. The new feature OF
the case Is the denial OF Lieutenant Com
mandcr Hodgson. the navigator OF the
Brooklyn. that the conversation published
In THE Sun as having occurred between Adj
miral Schley and himself at the time the
loop was made, and the assertion by Lieu
tenant Commander Heilner that Hodgson had
repeated the conversation to him in connec-
ton with the investigation OF the Board Of Nav
igators appointed by the Navy Department to
ascertain The relative positions Of the several
ships. both Spanish and American, ut certain
periods OF the engagement
just what has been done by the department
to get at the bottom OF the matter could not be
ascertained by THE BUN reporter. Secretary
Long declined to discuss II or to fur
nish any information on the subject. But
1t was limited to-day by naval official
that II any OF the officers concerned have made
statements which are not true the department
will not overlook that fact The naval regua-
tons are broad enough to cover untruthfuness
on the part OF an of1cer. even where the cir
cumstances OF the alleged offence had no
official bearing.
A New York newspaper to-day published an
interview with Lieut.. Hodgson in which he
was quoted as saying that he was under orders
to go to Washington to appear before the Navy
Department in relation to the controversy. 1t
was denied at the department this afternoon
that Lieut. Hodgson had been ordered here for
any such purpose.
