So far as Rear-Admiral Schley is
concerned, the report of the court of
inquiry will have little. effect upon
public opinion. The inquiry was re-
ported in detail and with unusual
care. An intelligent public, even if
it be unlearned in technique of naval
maneuvering has been all the time
sitting as jury in the case, and it
has an opinion which does not agree
with the majority report.

explanations which had a tendency to
raise reasonable doubt in the minds
of the Jurors.
