DEWEY'S OPINION.

In the opinion of the undersigned the
passage from Key West to Cienfuegos
was made by the Flying Squadron with
all possible dispatch, Commodore Sehley
having in view the Importance of arrv-
ing off Cienfuegos with as much coal as
possible in the ships bunkers.
The blockade Of Cienfuegos was effect
i've.
Commodore Schley In permitting the
steamer Adula to enter the port of Gen.
fuegos, expected to obtain information
concerning the Spanish squadron from
her when she came out.
The passage from Cienfuegos to a
point about twenty-five miles south Of
Santiago was made with as much dis
patch as was possible while keeping the
squadron unit.
The blockade OF Santiago was effect
i've.
Commodore Schley was the senior off,
Ger of our squadron off Santiago when
the Spanish squadron attempted to es
cape on the morning of July 3, 1898. He
was in absolute command and Is entitled
to the credit due to such commanding
officer for the glorious victory which re-
suited in the total destruction of the
Spanish ships.
