Washington. October S-A bit OF quiet
Inquiry shows the present attitude OF the
navy department toward Rear Admiral
Schley. and tt Is evident TINT the charges
Of persecution as well as prosecution are
not without grounds. In the inquiry now
under way the navy department should
take no sides, hut it Is wen known and
undisguised fact that In reality this is not
an inquiry hut a trial.
The appearance of the frst witness
known to be a Schlcy witness before the
naval court Of inquiry brought to Hight nm
important fact. Schley witnesses are not
being cared for ny the department. Lieu
tenant James G. Doyle. whose story OF the
events preceding and during the battle OF
Santiago excited such admiration from Ad-
miral Dewey that he cordially shook the
lleutenants hand ns Doyle was leaving the
witness stand, furnishes an example of the
treatment that is being accorded 10 Ad-
mral Schley's friends. whom Doyle took
the stand Judge Advocate Lemy prefaccd
his hrst question with the statement;
"You are now attached 80 no station and
are under urders TO appear before this
court" Doyle replied that the statement
was correct. Later on he repeated several
times that he had no present station. THIS
means that he Is on waiting orders, that
he Is drawing reduced pay and that ne has
no particular duty to perform, hut hopes
that some day the Crownlnshleld clique in
the department win forget and forgive him
and send him aboard OF some ship in coiu-
mission.
Not a single witness called by the navy
department was unproyldcd with n station,
