ADMIRAL DEWEY EXONERA'
TIES REAR-ADMIRAL
SCHLEY.

Washington Dec. 13.-The Schley
court has disagreed, Admiral Dewey
rendering an opinion diametrically
opposed to that OF Rear. Admirals
Benham and Ramsay. who found
Schley gravely at fault under every
specification in the precept.
Dewey thinks Schley did his whole
duty 10 the West Indian campaign,
and that he, and not Sampson Is en-.
titled to the glory OF destroying Ce.
vera's fleet.
This sensational result OF one Of the
longest and most exciting inquiries in
naval history is disappointing to the
Navy Department and to the service
generally.
1t is recognized that the bitter con.
%troversy IS not only no nearer a set
Element than it was six months ago,
but that it is practically certain OF
Congressional investigation. in. per.
haps an aggravated form, involving
comparisons between officers that
must necessarily be extremely hitter
and damaging to the morale OF the
service.
Last Monday Senator Jones, OF
Arkansas INTRODUCED a joint resolu.
tion in the upper house TO this effect:
THAT the thanks Of Congress and
the American people are hereby ten.
dered to Rear.Admiral Winfield Scott
Schley and the officers and men under
his command for highly distinguished
conduct ia conflict with the enemy,
as displayed by them in the destruc-
tion OF the Spanish feet off the har-
Dor OF Santiago de Cuba, July 8. 1893.
That the President Of the United
States be requested to cause This com.
mendatiOn To he communicated to
Rear-Admiral Schley and through
him to the officers and men under his
command"
This Is rather rough on the naval
department clique, who have persist.
emily tried to pluck Admiral SchIey's
well merited laurel wreath from his
brow and destroy his reputation.

"a Modern Crusoe.n

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, Oct. 21.-Sydney Rosenfeld
has put some of his brightest work into
the comic romantic play "A Modern
Crusoe,'' in which Mr.. Thomas @. Sea-
brook will open at Margaret rheater,
next Wednesday. The facile flow Of wit
which scintillates through this authors
work in 'rhe Senator and ".At the
White Horse Tavern, finds another out
let in this latest of his comic plays. The
great charm about this playwright s
works is that his characters are all
genuine and that their utterings have
the stamp of spontaniety. His chief
ability as humorist lies in the fact
that he creates situations SO ludicrous
that the laugh comes long before the
spoken line, and the deftness of his
funny phrasing supplements the situation
so perfectly that the incipient smile
develops by a perfect crescendo into a
roar of laughter.
