The present occasion for a renewal
Of the dispute, is the appearance of a
volume Of the History Of the United
States Navy, In which the author Mr..
Maclay practically accuses schley Of
running away with the cruiser Brook
lyn, from the fight at Santiago. The
publication Of the volume has been fol-
lowed by an outburst Of Indignation on
the part OF the friends OF schley. The
publisher Of the Baltimore American
has even sent written protest to
President Mckinley, in which he says
IN part:

fair minded man that a clique in the
navy department has conspired to ira

dent, IN view Of all this, SIT quietly by

The justification for this charge is
sought In the statement that Secretary
Long, OF the navy department. had

proved OF the contents. This, how

the portion relating to schey is con.

controversy, II is much regretted that
the most important battle OF the Span
ish-American war shall have given rise
to a controversy in which personal
spite seems to be so prominent There
was glory enough for ALL in that ac-
ton. But as the controversy has been
started, the points at issue should be
cleared up. with absolute mpartallty
and fairness. Not until that is done,

Sun = explain the curious statement
Sunday morning globe., 1901-09-29
KEkNAN,S

The Broadway BurlesQuers, an ag-
gregation of yaudeWllians whose name
is synonymous with success, and whose
excellence never seems to grow less,
but, on the contrary seems to grow
better, appear at the Lyceum Theater
this week, and to those who enjoy bur
lesque and vaudeville, a visit to this
theater during their engagement will
be amply repaid.
Few, If any, travelling burlesque com
panies have on their roster such high
class performers names as do the
Broadway Burlesquers. Kelly and
Davis, in an inimitable funny talking
act are, without doubt, the leaders in
their field OF work; Thompson and
Green, Ethiopian musical comedy en-
tertainers; ROsalie, Cantatrice Paris.
ienne, a most charming singer, and
among others Of equal merit, the
great and mysterious "Ziska," who, by
his clever magic and illusion mysti-
ties, puzzles and bewilders his audi
ence.
An exchange says:
THE usualstyle ofopening burlesque
Is dispensed with and is replaced by
what may be termed a minstrel first
part, an innovation in this class Of en-
tertainment, but one which gives
ample scope for wit and humor, and
is a better vehicle to properly intro
duce the brightest and catchiest music
so intimately connected with colored
folk. The stage setting and costuming
is the most elaborate and tasty seen
in this house in many years, but it is
not until the burlesque is reached that
the real beauty and charm Of the show
is brought forth in all its glory. Then
a sight is presented that would cause
the heart Of an ascetic to palpitate.
Twenty beautiful women in all the
glory of their youthful beauty, with
all the Establishments and charms Of
the costumers art, deport themselves
before the enraptured gaze and with
songs and pretty poses, dances and
fancy groupings vie with each other
for favor. Callous to the charms
Of womanly loveliness, he must indeed
be who woud pass them by without a
note Of appreciation. But they are only
a part Of the whole Mirth, humor and
comedy reign supreme. Not a weary
moment, not a weary thought, through
out the show Ever on the move; a
sunburst of lOveliness. a rapture Of
song, a picture Of beauty and an ava
lanche of fun and comedy. The
Broadways deserve the success they
have won, for they catre to the fancy
and taste Of the masses and give a
performance full Of Terit and ability"
