SAMPSON NOT IN THE FIGHT.
To The Brooklyn, Oregon and Sctlay The
Credit For The YictyOry Is Due.

New York. Dec. 1S.-Capt.
Diaz 'Moren, who commanded
the Colon at the battle of San.
tiago. says that Admiral
Sampson could take no active
part in the fight because his
ship was - miles to the west
of Santiago harbor when the
Spanish squadron appeared,
while Admiral Schley, with
the Brooklyn flying his pennant,
and the Iowa, were close to the
mouth Of the harbor. a dis
patch from Madrid says tha t
Moren adds:
Both warships fought the
Maria Teresa, which seven
minutes afterward was afire
My ship, the Colon, appeared
then. firing her larboard guns
against the Iowa, which. not
moving quickly enough, would
have been sunk by the Colon
had not the Brooklyn engaged
us so quickly Evidently the
credit of the first part of the
battle; during which the Maria
Teresa and the Vizcaya were
placed hors de combat, belongs
to Schley, as wei. as the sec.
ond part, during which the
Colon fought alone against the
Brooklyn and the Oregon.
think Admiral Dewey's praise
to Schley is just. 1t does rot
diminish Admiral Simpsons
glory, TO whom as supercom
mander was due the positions
of the ships held in the line oI
the blockade and without
whose instructions the result
might be seen in another light.
Weldon Seward and T. w
FinnegaD, two nice young mer
whose former home was near
Clapper, but. who for the past
three years have been at Butte,
Mont, returned home Friday
for the holidays. They came
alone but will they return
alone? Who knows?

He in speaking of their verdict
against Admiral Schley says :
Schley's evidence was ignored,

his evidence considered and
passed upon" An effort will
