GEMS OF HISTORY FORM THE Sun


Merely through Il sense Of duty and
with no thought of irritating old sores,
we propose to quote f@w gems of his
t51'ical statement from the New York
Suns account of the ceremonies on the
east front Of the Capitol last Tuesday
SO many thousands of Washington peo-
pie were present and 50 deep an inter-
est was taken by them in the proceed
ngs. We feel they are entitled to a
glimpse at the remarkable chronicle Of
the occasion published Wednesday,
morning in the New York sun Cur
people know the facts. for they made
them. They will be interested. though
perhaps not pleasantly. in the Suns
extraordinary version Of the incident.
Here is q sample gem:
There was not a cheer until Rear
Admiral Sampson appeared. He was
escorted by Rear Admiral Crownin-
shield, Chief of the Bureau of Naviga-
tiSn, ana was followed by the members
OF his staff and other naval officers.
His appearance was greeted by hand
claprng, which rose into a big cheer
as he cae down the steps. ADMIRAL
Schley, also in uniform. and other we'll
known officers Of both the army and
navy, took their seats without causing
any demonstration, not even a murmur
Among these were Mai Gen. Breckin-
ridge, Brig. Gen. RuGges (retired>
and Rear 'Admirals O'Neil Van Reypen
and Smith. of Vermont. He walked
aheail Of his staff and acknowledged
the applause cs the crowd by bowing"
What really happened when Admiral
Sampson appeared upon the stand has
been truthfully described in The Post.
as follows:
On the stand were other army and
navy officers. dazzling i'll uniforms OF
BLACK and g0td'-among them Admiral
Sampson. cheered only by the reporter
for the New York Sun, and Admiral
schley. an idol of the multitude"
AL Washington knows The Posts ac-
count to be absolutely true and the
suns account to be ridiculously false
We can infer only that lie Suns para
granh ahve quoted was written in New
York. That papers correspondents
here arc able and conscientious jour
nalists. incapable of such an outrage
upon fact ara history.
We have no hidden motive in calling
attention 70 this stupid Justification. 50
far as we are concerned, the multitude
might have rheered Sampson to the
echo with our entire sympathy. 1t was
ms misfortune, just as it was the mis-
fortune "f Capts. Hgsinson and Fol
ser. 70 be absent when Ccrvera made
his Inflated sortie and was crushed BY
the squadron temporarily under the
command OF Commodore Schley. No
enc doubts that SAMPSON would have
conducted the engagement With ability
and success had he been there to con
duct ii. Neither does any one doubt
that HiSSinson and F'olger would Fave
given an honorable account Of them
selves had they been able to take part.
The fatcs were against them, however
and there is no more to be said about
1t. We have quoted the Sun. therefore,
simply TO give Washington an opportu-
nifty Of seeing how important events at
the Capital are sometimes chronicled in
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Post.
