SchleY Nav Begin Suit.

Washington, Dec. 14.-lt has leaked
out Rear Admiral Schley will shortly
institute a libel suit against the pub
fishing firm of Appleton & Co. of New
York for giving currency and circula-
ton TO Maclay's naval history contain
ing the charges of cowardice made by
Maclay against the rear admiral This
step has been urged upon Schley by
his most conservative and his closest
friends. Papers in the suit have al
ready been prepared and will probably
by filed within a week
In the civil court before a jury, it
is argued, that Admiral Schley can
not only expose the conspiracy of
which he has been the victim, but he
can obtain that measure of justice
which has been denied him by at least
two OF his brothers in arms He can
bring to public view the names of all
of the naval officers from Crownin-
shield down who have been instru-
mental in causing Maclay to write Adj
miral Schley down as coward. trait
or and caitiff. Neither the admiral
nor his friends have the slightest
doubt about the character of the vim
dication which he will receive as the
result of such a proceeding

REPORT OF INQUIRY COURT.
Admirals Benham and Ramsay
Think That Schley Was Dila-
tory at Santiago.

Washington, Dea. 13--In its final re-
port, the Schiey court reviews the
movements of the flying squadron from
the time il left Key West until the end
Of the battle in which Cerveras fleet
was destroyed This review goes into
all the details, giving the hour and day
of the various movements. commenting
at the end of each citation, and in CON
clusion announces the following opin-
ion:
Commodore Schley. in command Of
the flying squadron. should have pro-
eeeded with the utmost dispatch off
Cienfuegos and should have maintain
ed close blockade of that port.
He should have endeavored. May
%, at Cienfuegos, to obtain inforlna-
ton regarding the Spanish squadron by
communicating with the insurgents at
the place designated in the memoran-
DUN delivered to him at g.: Is a. m. OF
that date.
He should have proceeded from
Cienfuegos to Santiago de Cuba with
all dispatch, and should have disposed
OF his vessels with a view of intercept
ing the enemy in any attempt to pass
the flying squadron.
He should not have DELAYED the
squadron for the Eagle
Retrograde Movement Condemned
He should not have made the re-
trograde turn westward with his squad
ron.
He should have promptly obeyed the
navy departments order of May 25
He should have endeavored to cap
ture or destroy the Spanish vessels at
anchor near the entrance of Santiago
harbor on May 1890.
He did not do his utmost with the
force under his command to capture or
destroy the Colon and other vessels of
the enemy which he attacked on May
49,
BY commencing the engagement on
July 3 with the port battery and turn
ing the Brooklyn around with the port
helm. Commodore Schlev caused her to
lose distance and position with the
Spanish vessels-especially with the
Nizcaya and Colon The turn of the
Brooklyn to starboard was made to
avoid getting her into dangerous proxi-
nifty to Spanish vessels The turn was
made toward the Texas, and caused that
vessel to stop and back the engines to
avoid possible collision. Admiral
Schley did injustice to Lieutenant Com
mander A. G. Hodgson in publishing
only a portion of the correspondence
which passed between them.
Commodore Schley's conduct in con-
rection with the events of the Santiago
campaign prior to June !, 1898. were
characterized by vacillation. dilatori-
ness and lack of enterprise
His Official reports regarding the
coal supply and coaling facilities of the
flying squadron were inaccurate and
misleading.
His conduct during the battle of
July 3 was elf-possessed and he en-
couraged in his own person. his sub
ordinate officers and men to fight cour-
ageously.
