SCH[EY'S EXCEPTION
Is 10 His Disobsying Orders.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The navy
Admiral Schley's suggestion that the
language in the fifth specification OF
the precept to the court OF inquiry be
modified.
The Admiral in his letter challenges
that specification of the precept which
states as a fact that he had disobeyed
orders, and suggested that it be modi-
fed. The department in its reply de-
clines to make the suggested modifca-
ton on the ground that according to
the official records Admiral Schley
himself acknowledged that he had dis
obeyed orders. The disobedience Of
orders was an established fact whether
unwillingly or.willingly.
The following are the letters that
have passed between Admiral Schley
and the navy department respecting
the precept:
Great Neck, N. Y, July %, 1901.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowl-
edge receipt of the Departments COM
munication of July 26th inst, enclos-
ing copy of an order convening, pur-
suant to the request contained in my
communication of the 22nd court Of
fnasinuch as the court is directed
to investigate and after such in
Aestigation, report "full and detailed
statement OF all the pertinent facts
which it may deem to be established,
together with its opinion and recon-
mendation in the premises, - I would
respectfully suggest to the department
that paragraph 5 Of the departments
precept, which is as follows, viz: 5.
The circumstance attending and the
reasons for the disobedience by Com
modore Schley of the orders of the de-
partment contained in its dispatch,
dated May 25, 1898 and the propriety of
his conduct in the premises" be mod
ifed TO omit the departments express
sion of opinion and thus leave the
court free to express its own opinion
in that matter.
Very respectfully,
". S. Schley,
Rear Admiral.
Hon. John D. Long, Secretary of the
Navy.

Washington, ~. y.
It is very rarely that precept con-
vening court Of inquiry is amended.
The departments action, it is stated,
while techniclly declining Admiral
Schley's suggestion, does, however,
in fact, amount to an amendment on
the lines pointed out by him. AS in
dicated in the letter to Admiral Dew
ey, this correspondence will form part
of the record, and in fact, is sup
Element to the precept, and of as
much force as the original document.
The vacancy of the court caused by
Rear Admiral Kimberly's application
to be relived has not yet been filed. 1t
is believed that the department is COM
naunicating by wire and letter with
some of the retired rear admirals who
are regarded as eligible. Il has no de-
sire to make public any declinations,
and it is understood that the name OF
the person chosen will not be publish
ed until he has finally accepted the as
slngment. It was suggested at the
navy department today that Admiral
Kimerly's action is not yet final.
Secretary Long, at his home IN
bingham, is within an hour or two's
run of Admiral Kimberly's home, at
West Newton, and the secretary may
take advantage Of that fact to visit
the admiral personally aad endeavor
to have him reconsider his decision.
Capt. Parker, counsel for Admiral
Schley, continued his work, at the
navy department today in scanning
the log books and other records bear
ing upon the operation of the West
Indian feet. He hopes to finish this
week. He is maintaining close
silence of his discoveries. if he has
made any, and is evidently an object
of great interest to the naval officers
in the department, who watch him
very closely and use every precautlon
to prevent the newspaper men from
coming in touch with him. The log
books are ponderous volumes, and are
watched with the most jealous care
at all times. In the present instance
keen-eyed young lieutenant watches
the turning Of every page Of the
volumes to make sure there shall be no
alterations or excisions.
Washington, Aug. Rear Admiral
Kimberly will not be member of the
Schley court of inquiry. His request
to be relieved on the ground of i'll
health has been granted by the navy
department and the department is now
considering the question of his sue
cessor. It is, quite likely, that a
selection has alredy been made but
the official announcement will be with
held until the officer selected has been
heard from. It is explained in connec-
tion with the acceptance of Admiral
Kimberly's request to be relieved that
this is the first time in 80 years that
this officer has requested the depart
ment to relieve him of duty to which
he has been assigned.

Huge Cost of the War.

London, August In the house Of
commons today Lord Stanley, the
financial secretary of the war Office.
replying to question, said the cost Of
the war in South Africa from April l
to July 81 was 35, $50, 900 pounds, par
italy chargeable against the deficit of
last year The actual cost in July was
l, 250, 200 pounds weekly. The state
ment was greeted with ironical Irish
cheers.
The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, said if the war
continued at the same cost for the next
three months it would necessitate
spending the whole of the reserve he
had provided for financing the third
quarter. but he had reason to hope
that this would not be necessary.
