The Banner is right. Nothing the

hardly anything it could do-would be
as Objectionable as the Republicans

ADMIRAL sUHLEY,s CASE.

Admiral Schiey has requested In
vestigation of his course in the Snan-

has approved his action and has
promised to proceed at once in the
case. Admiral Dewey will be presi-
dent of the court of inquiry. The
court will sit in Washington ia
September and its sessions will be
open to the public. An impartial
inquiry is promised by Secretary
Long.
The Investigation is asked by the
Rear-Admiral because one Maclav
historian, has charged Sehley with
cowardice before Santiago when he
defeated Cervera, and that he dis
obeyed orders of the Department
before Cienfugos. The sympathy of
the American public seems to be
overwhelmingly with Schley, while
the navy cliqpe-of which Maclay is
one-generally sides with Sampson
The latter was Captain when the
war with Spain broke out, but he
was favorite with the administers
ton and was jumped over IA others
and made a Rear-Admiral.
Mr.. Jno. r. Dos Passos, of New
York and Westmoreland county, Va. ;,
has been retained by Admiral Schley
to look after his interests before the
court of inquiry and the civil suit
against historian Maclay, which is
to follow.
