The fight against Admiral Schley
seems to be clearly defined as fight
originating at Brooklyn Navy Yard, in
spired by officers ready for promotion,
and assisted by the jealousy of Admiral
Sampson. Admiral Watson-an old sea
horse-has said, in spite of all the rep
rimands other officers of the navy have
received from the Navy Department,
that any person who calls Schley
a coward ought to be court-martialed
This Is true. Schley, as Lieutenant
brought the obelisk from Egypt, lost
1t in the Atlantic for several weeks, re-
covered it and planted it in New York;
he subsequently rescued Greeley from
within the Arctic circle; he behaved
most generously towards Admiral
Cervera at Santiago, and has never
uttered word in his own praise, and
has always spoken modestly in his
praise of others, thus revealing every
outward sign of brave man. At San
tiaSo he was under Sampson, the latter
having been promoted 1rom a cap
taincy over his shoulders. Sampson
was ordered to destroy Cevera's fleet
After 1t was definitely ascertained that
the feet was inside of Santiago harbor,
Hobson proposed plan to Sampson
to ssbottle it,, Sampson ordered it
done. Hobson sunk the coal steamer
Merrimac at the entrance of the har-
Dor, and Sampson believed as result
that the fleet could not come out, and
then waited outside for it to come out.
Ridiculous as these facts sound, they
are nevertheless the facts. That feet
inside was source of great danger to
the u S. soldiers who were to capture
the fort at San Juan; but that made no
