Sweet, Harry ], Shelter, and Alfred G.
Thomson
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1899-10-24

OF Mobile bay. Since the war he has
peen one OF tho most valuable and trust
worthy officers in the navy. From his
record 1t appears that Howison was in
active service throughout the war be-
tween the States. and saw about as
much fighting as any officer who served
In the navy during that conflict.
Who IS Rear-Admiral William T.
Sampson, the special favorite of the
lawyers who are running the Navy De-
partment?
AT the breaking out Of the war Samp-
son was serving as master on the Poto-
mac, and he became q lieutenant In
July, 1852: he was on the practice-ship
John Adams until 1864 when he was
assigned to the Naval Academy; and in
1865, he was caught in the explosion of
the Patapsco in Charleston harbor.
So far as the records so, there is no
mention of SIMPSONS participation in
single battle during the civil war.
During the Spanish American war all
the influence of the Navy Department
had been exerted in his hehalf. Sec
rotary Long had opposed the appoint
ment OF Dewey to the command of the
Asiat1c squadron, but had provided
Sampson with the finest fleet il. the
navy. Rear-admiralS and commodores
had been hustled aside to make way
for an obscure captain, who had never
been in q fight And what was the
record?
Sampson secured the seas for Cervera
and never found him.
He is supposedto have bombarded
mule to death at Matanzas.
He opened fire on San Juan, thinking
that Cervera was within the harbor
when Cervera was about that time
leaving Martinique for Santiago After
three hours bombardment he managed
to kill few non-combatants and was
then driven off by q bob tail battery
on shore.
After Schley had definitely located
Cervera Sampson took charge of the
amalgaqnated fleet and established at
once such an adr-tight blockade that
two weeks afterwards he issued a gem
eral order to his fleet. stating that
everything was in endless confusion
and that Cervera could escape easily
If he wanted to.
He tried to sink q ship across the
mouth of the harbor so as to prevent
an engagement between the Two fleets;
and he should have been court-mar-
tailed for his wanton and unnecessary
exposure of the lives of Hobson and
his crew.
On the morning of the battle of San
tiago he took the New York away from
her station and was absent from the
battle. Though in command of ''the
fastest big ship" In his fleet, he could
not make more than thirteen miles an
hour, and thus he managed to keep out
of danger. at the same time that he
had no hesitation In claiming the whole
victory. He can point to only one or
der of his pertaining to n prospective
battle, and that was to close in and
engage the enemy. in case he attempted
to escape.
The parallel between these two ca
rcers is exceedingly interesting, and
shows that Howison not only ranks
Sampson, but that hehas had agenuine
career, while SIMPSONS sole exploit
consisted in his bong caught in an
explosion.
