in command OF feet in South American
waters is regarded as another snub to
Schley by the administration. Several
months ago Admiral Schloy made per-
sonal request OF the president, as well as
formal request Of the secretary of the
navy, for an assignment to sea duty. Since
the signing of the peace protocol and the
withdrawal of the fleet from Cuban waters
Admiral Sehley has been ON waiting or
ders in Washington, and his assignment
today to duty on the naval board of ex-
animation came as surprise to people
who had hoped that the administration
would recognize the services Of the old
hero by granting his request. Instead Of
again humiliatlng him.
