The SchleV Case.

The naval court of inquiry which is to
miral Winfield Scott Schley, growing
out of the West Indian campaign, and
the battle of Santiago bay, convened at
the Washington navy yard at l O'Clock,
the 18th inst. Never before in the history
of the navy has an issue been presented
of such supreme and universal interest,
not only of the navy, but to the general
public with such conspicuous naval
fighters in the foreground of the con-
troversy, others equally conspicuous as
witnesses, adherents and spectators and
with the active head of the navy estab-
lishment, Admiral Dewey, presiding
over this tribunal.
The interest in naval circles was shown
by the distinguished array of officers of
highest rank who were present, together
with number of government officials.
The areas in the court reserved for the
public was about two-thirds full.
The first skirmish was opened by Ad-
miral Schley arising from his seat and
speaking in strong voice, calmly and de-
liberately, challenging Admiral How
ison's eligibility as a member of the
court.
Three witnesses were brought forward
in support of this challenge, namely,
Francis s. Frost, VIM. (. Spoon and
Foster Nichols. They gave very posi-.
tive testimony as to expressions they
had heard Admiral HowisOn make,
favorable to Admiral Sampson and un-
favorable to Admiral Schley.
On concluding this testimony the
question arose whether Admiral Howison
would join issue with the statements
made by the witnesses or would rest on
his privilege to withhold any answer
until he chose to admit it. The admiral
met the issue by turning at once to Ad-
miral Dewey and announcing that he
would make writ of reioinder to the
statements OF the three witnesses. This
! rejoinder he prepared very speedily,
While conceding the accuracy of some
points in the evidence, it threw consider
able doubt on other points and disclaimed
any recollection of the talks said to have
taken place on the trans- Atlantic steamer.
1t was not sufficient however, to coun-
teract the very direct testimony given by
the three witnesses, and, moreover, the
admiral himself in concluding his state
ment, indicated plainly that he had no
desire to remain on the court and was
! there simply in obedience to orders. He
even appealed TO his associates on the
court to decide all doubtful questions as
to his eligibility in favor of Admiral
Schley
The challenge was then submitted to
the court which, under the circumstances,
was narrowed to Admiral Dewey and
Rear Admiral Benham to pass upon.
After hardly more than Is minutes
spent in the consultation room OF the
court Admiral Dewey briefly announced
that the court sustained the challenge
and that Admiral Howison would be ex-
cused came so quickly and so unexpect-
edly that it sent a flutter of agitation
throughout the court room. There was
a buzz of animated comment and Admiral
Schley exchanged looks of satisfaction
with his counsel.
Admiral Dewey at once closed the
proceedings of the day by announcing
that the court would adjourn indefinitely
until the navy department had named an
officer to succeed Admiral Howison.
