SCHLEYs FRIENDS ALERT.
VIII oppose the Vice Admiral BiII Ms
in Sampsen's Interest.


The Presidents endorsement Of Secre-
tary Long ST recommendation for re-
Tiyal Of tie grade of vice admiral Of the
Navy has again aroused the friends OF
Admiral schIey. who see in the Admins
traiion's attitude firm purpose to be-
stow the grade upon Admiral Sampson
in event such action is taken.
Both Admifals SchIey and Sampson
would have been vice admirals a year
ago but Tor the antagonism to the bills
through jealousy engerdered by the Dis
eussion throughout the country over the
Santiago sea fight. Congress was in
clined to pass both bills, but the advo-
Gates of Admiral Schley SO seTiouely OPP
posed the Sampson bill that both failed.
IL Is not believed now that Congress will
taka any favorable action upon the Ad-
ministra tons recommends ton. and that
any attempt to pass such a bill will re-
suit in reopening the Sampson-Schley
controversy, and result in a bitter fight
leading 20 the defeat OF the measure
Both the President and Secretary Long
are sincerely anxious to give some reward
to Admiral Sampson. and believe he IS
clearly entitled to the promotion. Such an
act would make Admiral Sampson the
second ranking officer of the service and
lead to his advancement over Admiral
SchIey, who stands three numbers ahead
Of him.
Admiral Sehley's friends are expected
10 bitterly oppose the bill, and it is re-
garded now as quite probable that an
other bill may be presented in admiral
Schieys behalf Such an arrangeme nt
was made last spring, when General Miles
and General Corbin we're given increased
rank. II would then have beer iT9pcs-
sible TO pass one bill without the other.
owing to the intense feeling prevailing
in Congress among the respective friends
OF the two officers.
