ing Schley.

New York May IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long will formally reprirnand
Captain f. z. Chadwick for his recent
criticisms of Rear Admiral W. S. Schley.
This will probably be the extent of the
excellent record and the frankness with
which he acknowledged the offense. while
at the same time disclaiming responsible
ity for it, have favorably impressed the
department.
Friends of Admiral Schley desire that
Captain Chadwick be cOurt-rnartialed, es-
pecially as he has told the department
that the interview in which he was quoted
as criticising the rear admiral was cor
partment has taken severe action in much
less fragrant cases.
Captain Chadwick, besides his written
statement made an oral explanation Of
his conduct He admitted that he had
criticized Rear Admiral Schley but said
the statements he made expressed his
personal views, and he had no intention
of making them public through the press.
He charges that a breach Of faith was
committed when he was quoted.
Secretary Long looks upon the Chad
wick matter as similar in some respects
to the case of Captain Coghlan, who was
repr1manded for his criticisms OF the Ger
man emperor Many officers, however,
point out that the department accused
Rear Admiral Schley of reprehensible
conduct in a. communication to congress,
reiterated this statement in a personal
conversation, they do not see how he San
