retary Long at the request of Lieutenant
Commander John C. Colwell, formerly
naval attache of the United States En-
bassy at London, who was rtbuked for an
alleged failure to obey orders % proceed
TO the United States for assignment TO

to secure vindication, has submitted the
following opinion to the Navy Depart
ment:
There was no valid reason to prevent
Lieutenant Commander Colwell from TAX
ing the steamer of April Z, 1900, and re-
turning to the United States in obe-
dience to his orders. The probable eff
feet, under the circumstances of journey
to the United States at this time, it is
believed. would have been beneficial and
that he would have had opportunities for
efficient treatment on his arrival, COM
parable with the treatment he received
in England
I'VE find, furthermore, that subsequent
ly. viz: April IL. Lieutenant Commander
Colwell was prostrated by some nervous
debility that prevented his taking the
steamer of April ii and while awaiting
his recoverys that he entered a hospital
and was operated on for some nasal af-
lection. 1t does not appear that this
operative procedure, which is stated to
have been of very minor character pro-
longed his delay in obeying his orders.
or that the performance of the operation
at this time was. Imperative"

1t to investigate the facts and eircum-
stances connected with the action of Lieu
