one o. WRONG RICHTED
Statement Conoerning Samp-
son and the Maolay Book.
APPROVAL OF HARSH FERNS DENIED
The Admiral Did Not Give His Con-
sent TO the Publication of Un-
just Statements About
Admiral Schley.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Colonel Rob.
ert NJ. Thompson of this city, presi.
dent of the United States Naval
Academy. Alumni association, makes
the following statement in connection
with the schley inquiry:
"There is one story which am very
anxious should be truthfully present
ed to the public. After Maclay's book
was published Mr.. Maclay stated that
his proofs had been submitted to the
commanding officers, including Admi-
raj Sampson, and that they approved
his statements. A reporter calling up
on Admiral Sampson when he was Ill
In his bed obtained from the admiral
what appeared to be confirmation of
this statement. The admiral was ask
ed if he had seen and read the proofs
Of Maclay's book, and he said yes,
but unfortunately he was too i'll to go
into the matter at any length and ex.
plain everything, and so the public
was iniormed and today believes that
Admiral Sampson entirely approved
the statement that Schley was cow
ard and caitff, which was the gist
Of Maclay's charge against Schley. "
II am in a position to state the true
facts. and you may absolutely rely
upon them as the truth. The proofs
were sent by Mr.. Maclay to Admiral
Sampson with request that they
should be read and corrected. The ad-
niral at the time was not in good
health and did not wish to undertake
the labor. but his secretary pointed out
that the Maclay history was stand
ard one and used at the Naval academy
as q textbook I his volume brought
the history down through the period
of the Spanish war, and 1t was desira
BILE that there should be no inaccura-
cies In it. The admiral therefore con-
sented to read them, and he did correct
certain part of them. but as soon as
he arrived at the part which contained
the statement that Schley was cow
ard and caitiff he was very much
angered and said the statement was one
the author had no right to make, that
it was unjust and unfair to speak Of
any naval officer in such terms and de-
clined to have anything further to do
with the proofs.
'IIis secretary, impressed with the
great desirability Of having the state
nents of facts accurate and not be-
lieving that he was in any way re-
sponsible for the statements of opin-
ions, did on his own account compare
the book with the records and make on
the margins number of corrections.
AS these were in the same handwrit-
ing as those made when Admira!
Sampson was giving his personal at
tention to the corrections Mr.. Maclay
was perfectly justified in his state
lnent. The order of the secretary of
the navy forbidding naval officers to
make any statement for publication
regarding this controversy, issued i'm
mediately after this interview prevent
ed the above correction being officially
made"

Over Four Hundred Miles of the MIL.

Of Troops Recommended.


y sssss..ISVASHINGTON. Oct. S.-The war de-
-patf.nent has made public the annual
report of s--I3rigadier General Randall.
7t0innanding the department Of Alaska.
2General Randall lays much stress on
/, the rigors' of an Alaskan winter. The
cold, he says, is intense and continues
10 from November to April, with &C.
veYe and frequent blizzards. There is
no dockage for ocean vessels at the
supply port, For, st. Michaers. and all
supplies must be i'ghtered from ships
In open roadstead. IL the weather Is
rough, the work of lightering becomes
impossible.
General Randall says that the most
smportant work in the department aft.
sr providing for the housing and sup
ply of troops was that of constructing
lhe military telegraph line and military
road through Alaska. The total length
Of line constructed up to the date Of the
report, Aug. 15, was about 400 miles.
The work Is being pushed as fast as
possible, and by the close Of navigation
this year 1t is hoped that telegraphic
communication between Fort st. Mi
chaels and Fort Gibbon, 420 miles dis
tant. will have been established. The
tOnstiSsction Of these lines, General
Randall sayE Is attended with many
difficulties peculiar to an arctic climate.
Owing to the isolation of army posts
bn Alaska and TO the lack of facilities
S0r instruction In drill and for conven.
hg court martials General Randall
bays troops left to serve there for sew
ssal years must deteriorate In military
SMciency. He therefore recommends
That troops stationed in Alaska be re-
psved every two years and that only
hen with more than two years to serve
b. ordered there.
III conclusion General Randall says:
'The location Of department head
quarters in Alaska for the past year is
Believed to have had pronounced
beneficial effect toward the protection

kshment Of good order in the territory.

Irwin Holt Guilty.

Irwin Holt was found guilty in
the Lewiston district court Tues
day of the charge of cattle stealing.
The verdict was reached by the
jury after a few moments delibera-
ton.
Holt was charged with stealing
two head of cattle from J. S.
Hogue of Russell. The evidence
submitted by the state was to the
effect that the cattle were taken
from pasture by Holt and deliv-
cred to farm near Grangeville,
where they were turned over to
Attorneys McNamee aud Worth in
part payment of an attorney fee.
1t appears from the evidence that
seven head in all were delivered by
Holt. The contention of the de-
Tense was to the effect that four
head of the stock, including the
two Hogue cattle, were secured by
Holt from Il man named Hunt, of
Orofino, and five head from Holt's
brother-ln-iaW, sam Porter, uf
Peck. The testimony of the de.
fense and that of the state con-
flicted as TO whether nine or seven
cattle We're delivered by Holt.
Attorneys McNamee and Worth
and j. +. McManus testified in
behalf of the state, the McManus
farm being the point where the
cattle were delivered. Samuel
Porter and Cy King were the wit
nesses for the defendant, Holt also
testifying in his own behalf.
County Attorney johnson con-
Quoted the case for the state and
Holt was defended by Attorney c.
