SEVERE ON SICKLES
"Secesh" Speech Made in
Congress Resurrected, to
His Discontinue.

,, 1ro,n The journal BureGs. Roons <S. POst
Building, Washington.
Washington, Sept. 2.-Those participants
in the pension Office controversy who do
not sympathize with General Sickles' at
tack upon Mr.. Evans have resurrected a
speech by the valiant New Yorker, deliv-
cred, at the beginning of the civil war, in
which he appeared as an eloquent cham
pion of secession. Strange as such utter
ances may seem in the light of General
Sickles' subsequent military services, the
speech now will undoubtedly be a factor
against his election as commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army Of the Republic.
1t is hardly necessary to say that Pension
Commissioner Evans partizans are max
ing the most of the speech and that copies
of 1t will be widely distributed at the en-
campment
The speech which he delivered in the
national house in December, 1860, was
precinitated by discussion brought out in

OF McCALLA
Hitherto Unwritten Chapter
of Schley Feud.
IMPORTANT TESTIMONY
Sch1ey's Determination to Destroy
Cervera's Fleet Proved.
ENTRY FROM MccALLA's LOG BOOK
The Commander of the MarbIehead
Victim of the Spite of
CrOwnfnshieId.


Washington, Sept. 1.-Two features OF
the Sampson -Schley controversy, which is
shortly to be investigated by naval court
of inquiry stand out so clearly and dis
tinctly that they will doubtless command
much Of the courts attention.
The first is Admiral Sampson mex
plicable conduct during the period be-
tween May 19 and May 80, 1898, when,
though in possession of accurate and reli-
able information that Cervera's squadron
was at Santiago, he loitered at Key West
and confined his activities to issuing bonn
bastic commands to the naval captains
and contradictory dispatches to the navy
department.
The second is Admiral Schley's deter
mination, expressed from the moment he
was put on the trail of the Spanish feet,
to engage and destroy the vessels Of that
fleet. Schley never wavered or faltered in
the pursuit Of the great task which had
been assigned to him until he drove the
Colon on the beach, shattered and help
less wreck. The admiral's gallantry,
dogged persistence and unshakable deter
mination stand out in brilliant and pleas
ing contrast to the extraordinary conduct
of the man who is chief among his accu-
sers and who unblushingly confesses that
he approved of Historian Maclay's use
of the words "caitiff,'' coward and
traitor" as applied to Admiral Schley S
behavior during the war.
BY one Of those curious oversights that
disturbs the calculations of the most ac-
complished censor, an apparently insignifi-
cant paragraph was permitted to creep
into the published records of the conflict
with Spain. 1t was a part of the log of
Captain McCalla of the Marblehead and it
illuminates the whole question of Schley' S
purpose. Captain McCalla's entry in the
log of the Marblehead is as follows:
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1901-09-02
like the gallant. patriotic old sailor he


Like the gallant, patriotic old sailor he
is he accepted his orders as an oppor-
tunity to win distinction, which is so
dear to the men of the navy and army. But
his friends at home could not overlook
the fact that he was victim of the
wrath of Crowninshield and perhaps Sec
retary Long.
Rear Admiral Evans, who until quite
recently was the severest Of Schley's
critics and detraetors. but who for rea-
sons which he alone can explain appears
to have radically altered his views of
Admiral Schley, never mentioned the con-
versation on board the Brooklyn which
Captain McCalla describes so laconically.
If there is any mention of 1t In his log
the fact has never been made public The
same can be said Of the other captains
who were present, but the explanation Of
this is to be found In the experiences of
McCalla since the close of naval operations
in the waters of the West Indies
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1901-09-02

If any other captain who was present
when Schley made this gallant response to
Captain Evans query noted it in his
ships log the entry has been successfully
suppressed. McCalla paid dearly for his
thoughtlessness. In spite of his splendid
record during the war of the hardships
he endured and the dangers he ran in the
performance of his duties, that were Drac-
tically continuous, he found himself at
the close of the conflict in bad odor with
the powers that rule at the department.
He was railroaded to the Philippines and
there assigned to the most distasteful sta
ton. When the Chinese Boxer troubles
began McCalla was the first of the Ameri-
can naval captains to be ordered to Taku.

appear in uniform, but did their share to
swell the parade into the biggest in the

banners and the banners added much color
