For a long time Warden Hale has fol-

ers and a particularly favored few were

given this matter serious consideration
for some time, for their action to-day was

Director Wilkins broke the ice by bring

opinion that every new prisoner. no mat

previously occupied in society, should be

WORK OF SCHLEY
AND SAMPSON
Longs Communication
to the Senate.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Secretary
Long has sent 10 the Senate an ex-
haustive report in reply to the resolu-
tion recently passed by that body call
Ing upon the Navy Department for all
records in its possession upon which
the nominations of Admirals Sampson
and Schley to their present grades were
based. This resolution was passed in
executive session.
Secretary Long goes into the naval
history OF the Spanish war at great
length, citing orders, movements and
all the details which preceded the bat
tie of July 3. In summing up the facts
and citing the reasons for the advance
ment of Schley and Sampson, he says:
The advancement of Admiral
Sampson was proposed in recognition
of his services in the execution of his
duties as commander in chief of our
ships engaged in the campaign in the
West Indies; for the supervision of
all the ships wherever distributed: for
the blockade of the island of Cuba: for
conveying and landing of army and CO.
operation with it's movements. and for
the pursuit, blockade and destruction of
the Spanish fleet which destruction on
the Sd of July by our fleet under his
command was the consummation of his
orders and preparations beginning on
the 1st day of June. In this connection
the dispatch of Commodore Schley,
dated July 10, is a pertinent fact.
The advancement of Commodore
Schley was proposed in recognition OF
his services as next in rank with the
victory at Santiago. Where so much
was achieved in this eliminating bat
tie and where his ship was SO conspic-
uous force in the fight, his conduct
Whlle IN independent command prior to
June 1, the report of which has been
given and which, by reason of it's un-
steadiness in purpose and failure to
obey orders, did not meet the approval
of the President, the department did
not permit 1t to stand in the way of
his nomination for promotion to a high
er grade for the part he took in that
final triumph. In this connection as
pertinent factor is the letter of Admiral
Sampson, in which, while not overlook
ing Commodore Schley's conduct above
referred to, he asked that ample Justice
be done him for his part in the action
of July 8.
'It is just to both these officers 70
say that each of them was selected for
his command in the war without solicit
tation or suggestion on the part Of him
self or any one in his behalf The head
of the department, under the approval
of the President, is responsible for these
selections. which were made in the ex
igencies of the war situation and in the
exercise of the departments discretion
in the assignments which are author
lied by law This discretion was ex-
ercised solely with a view of the best
interests of the public service, whether
