Thinks Sampson is Right.

BEATRICE, Neb., June 23.-(Special Tele-
gram .)-Lieutenant Mayer Of the navy is in
the city visiting his parents while enroute
to Manila, where he has been ordered to
report to Admiral Watson. He will sail
from San Francisco on the Solace. Mayer
was in command during the Spanish war of
Hearst's converted yacht Buccaneer, and
when it was ordered out of commission
Hearst generously told him to appropriate
to his own use any of the furnishings of
the yacht. AS result of which he brought
home many valuable souvenirs of the cam
paign. Regarding the Sampson -Schley con-
troversy Lieutenant Mayer says that while
he regards Schley very highly as man and
a naval commander his sympathies are with
Sampson, whom he regards us being in the
right. In 1882, when Commodore Dewey
was taken sick off the island of Malta,
Mayer, who was then an ensign was in COM
mand of the launch which took the great
fighter ashore. At that time Mayer says
none OF the naval men ever expected to see
Dewey alive again.
