GENERAL SCOTT MADE LOOPS

New York Times.

New York Times
A very industrious deliver into history has
found a parallel in the history of Rear Ad-
miral Schley with his namesake, Gen. Win
field Scott. In 1896 Scott had won some
victories over the Seminoles in Florida. and
was summoned home at the instance OF
Generals Jessup and Gaines TO answer some
sort of charge that he had made a loop
TO get at the Indians. General Scott was
tried at Frederick. where he made a speech.
In which he compared himself TO a Doge OF
Venice, compelled to visit France and hum
BILE himself before the inflated monarch"
Everybody at that time knew that General
Scott meant TO describe Jackson as the in
fated monarch for he hated him with a
bitter and unreasonable hatred:
Scott was eXonerated, but his trOubleo
were not yet over. He went to Mexico with
a little army. half OF his 1000 being raw
recruits. but with them he stormed Chapul-
tepec and won the capital When Generals
Worth and Pillow found opportunity hey
made complaints against Scott. He had
not won his victory Just as they would have
had him win 1t. He was not accused or
making a loop to get past the Mexicans
and into their chief city, but he had been
"reprehensible." President Polk degrsoed
Scott before trial by depriving him OF his
command and then put him 10 court-mar-
tial. Scott sarcastically wrote 10 the sec

States. My poor services with this most
gallant army are at length TO be requited,
as l have long been led to expect they

citizen, stood trial again at Frederick. and.

WILLIAM LUDLOW DEAD
ONE OF THE BEsT-KNOWN OFFICERS
IN THE UNITED sTATEs ARMY.
Served in the Civil War, the Spanish
American Contest AT Santiago
and in the Philippines.

NEW YORK. Aug. SO.-Brig. Gen. Will
liam Ludlow, U. S. A., died at Convent, n.
j.. of consumption, to-day, al the house of
Mr.. Griscom. His illness was first noticed
on his arrived in the Philippines in May
last. He was at once sent home in the
hope that the American climate would re-
store him, and went at once to Convent.
William Ludlow, who was one of the
best known officers in the army. was born
at Riverside, Islip, Long Island, y. Y,
Nov. q. 1913. He entered the Military
Academy from New York in 1860, and, grad
uating before the close of the civil war,
entered the corps of engineers. He rem
dered comprehensive services in the South,
for which he was brevetted lieutenant
colonel. Many important works of coast
defense and river and harbor improvements
have been under his charge, and he was a
member of the Nicaragua Canal Commits
sion which made a report on that project
just before the present commission was
appointed. In May, 1898, he was made a
briSadier general Of volunteers, and took
an important part in the operations around
santiago. lie was promoted TO be major
general of volunteers in recognition of his
services. On the arrangement Of the vol
unteer officers after the close of the
Spanish war he became a brigadier
general of volunteers, and retained that
position until appointed a brigadier general
in the regular army last January Soon
after his appointment he went to the Phil
Ipplnes, but a short service there developed
tuberculosis and he was inValided home.
His friends have known for some time that
his death was but a question of time. While
he was serving as brigadier general of vol
unteers he was military governor Of
Havana, and instituted many reforms in
the government of that city. He was the
ideal soldier in appearance and was a man
of great ability. He was No. 3 on the list
of brigadier generals, and had he lived was
destined soon TO become a major general
and perhaps ultimately TO command the
army. He was a brother of Rear Admiral
Nicol Ludlow, retired. General Ludlow at
one time was engineer commissioner of the
District Of Columbia and afterwards was
military attache at London.
