Schley's Friends D spleased.

The action of the Department in de
clining to modify the language OF the
precept so as to eliminate an expression
OF opinion regarding Admiral Schley's
'disobedience" is looked upon by his
friends as an unnecessarily harsh act.
They claim that since the whole ques-
ton must be threshed out before the
court. a change in the phraseoogy
would not have injured the case against
the Admiral.
The fact is pointed out that Admiral
Schley never admitted that he had DISC
beyed the orders OF the Department.
His message, which has been construed
to be such an admission, stated that the
orders could not be obeyed, not that
they had not been obeyed. AS a matter
OF fact, however, the refusal to make the
modification in the precept will not af-
feet the judgment of the court in any
manner

The state department had not called
on the navy department for ship to go
into Venezuelan waters. In view of the
serious condition of affairs there and the
unsettled condition in the neighboring
republic of Colombia it is not improbable
that an American warship will be sent

of American interests. If ship is called
for some difficulty might be experienced
in finding suitable vessel for the mis-
