SCHLEY CONDEMNED BY COURT
BUT is SUSTAINED BY DEWEY

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE report of
the Schley court Of inquiry was pro-
mulgated by Secretary Long last night.
There are two reports. Admiral
Benham and Admiral Ramsay concur
in the first. which is signed by Admiral
Dewey also rs a matter of form. Ad-
miral Dewey make n separate report,
although he agrees with the findings
of facts subscribed to by the others.
The majority report condemns Admi-
raj Schley on eleven points, while Ad-
miral Dewey sustains him in most par
ticulars. The majority opinion finds
in brief that Admiral Schl"y should
have proceeded with the utmost dis
patch to Cicnfuegos and maintained n
close blockade: hat he should have
underworld TO obtain information of the
Spanish there: that he should have pro.
cecdcd To Santiago with dispatch; that
he should not have made the retro
grade movement; that he should have
obcyed the departments orders: that
he should have ~enduavored TO capture
the Spanish vessels in Santiago: tina lie
did not do his utmost TO destroy the
Colon; that he caused The squadron Ia
lose distance in the loop of the Brook
lyn: that he thereby caused the Texas
to back; That he did injustice to Hodg-
son; that his conduct in the campaign
was characterized by vacillation, dila,
t%Oriness, and lack of enterprise: that
his official reports on the coal supply
were misleading and inaccurate; that
his conduct during the battle was self
possessed and that he encouraged in
his OWL person his subordinate officers
and men.
Admiral Dewey in his report says
that the passage Il Cienfuegos was
made with all dispatch: that in view of
his coal supply the blockade of Glen
fuegOs was effective; that 10 allowed
the Adula to enter CienfueGOs to get
information; that his passage TO San,
tiago was with as much dispatch rs
possible, keeping the squadron togeth.
