! Washington, July 2r.-Secretary OF
the Navy John D. Long has selected
Admiral Dewey and Rear Admirals
Kimberly and Benham as members OF
the Schley court or inquiry In the SAN
tiago controversy. The secretary also
rendered to Captain Samuel G. Lemly,
Judge advocate general of the navy.
the position OF judge advocate of the
court. Captain Lemly will probably
accept the appointment.
tiAll day Secretary Long was en-
crossed In the consideration Of the de-
tails of the court. seeking particularly
for a suitable Judge advocate.
It was thought that such a man a
been found in the person OF Com
mander John l.. Pillsbury, and II was
announced early in the day at the de-
partment that he had been selected for
the position. But later, on more ma
ture consideration. his name was a
doned. 1t was recalled that as COM
mander of the dynamite cruiser Vesu-
vius he had served under Sampson or
Santiago, and moreover, as equipment
officer OF the Boston navy yard was
now again a subordinate OF the same
! admiral. In his desire 10 escape all
criticism on the point OF bias, Secre-
tary Long felt that there were reasons
sufficient for looking for some man who
was absolutely ASSOCIATED from the
great controversy In any phase. Late
yesterday afternoon he decided that he
had found such an officer In the person
of Captain Samuel c.. Lemly.
1t is believed Captain Lemly will con-
sent to serve.
In all the time he has been at the
head OF the legal department Of the
navy, his service dating back TO 1892.
Captain Lemly never has had occasion
to pass upon any question that involved
either Sampson or iSchley In any per-
sonal aspect.
1t Is said that Rear Admiral Kimber-
ly will ask TO be relieved from the de-
tail on recount OF Ill health.
Should he decline. the secretary will
select one of the other retired rear adj
mirals to take his place. Rear Admirals
Luce, Ramsay, Jouett, Gherardi and
Walker are some Of the names that
have been advanced for consideration

chance at a sixth. II won't drink IL un-
less II wants IT," The horse drank a
