Through Secretary Hay negotiations for the
purchase of the Danish West Indies Islands
are being made. Before making more pur-
chases of foreign lands and people the United
States should be certain they are not getting
a war to boot Our experience in the Philip
pines should make us very careful in purchas
ing territory and inhabitants. The people of
the Danish Islands should be consulted as to
whether they want to come under United
States dominion and be denied the blessings
of the Constitution, and be surrounded by a
tariff wall, like Porto Rico and the Philippines.

Findings of Benham and Ramsay.

Commodore Schley, in command of Flying
Squadron, should have proceeded with utmost
dispatch off Cieniuegos and should have main
tanned Il close blockade Of that port.
He should have endeavored on May % at
Cienfuegos to obtain information regarding
the Spanish squadron by communicating with
the insurgents at the place designated IN The
memorandum delivered to him at g. A. NJ.
of that date
He should have proceeded from Cientuegos
to Santiago de Cuba with all dispatch and
should have disposed his vessels with view
of intercepting the enemy in any attempt t"
pass the Flying Squadron.
He should not have delayed the squadron
for the Eagle.
He should not have made the retrograde
turn westward with his squadron.
He should have promptly obeyed the Navy
Departments order of May %.
He should have endeavored to capture or
destroy the Spanish vessels at anchor near the
entrance of Santiago harbor on May % and 30.
He did not do his utmost with the force
under his command to capture or destroy the
Colon and other vessels Of the enemy which
he attacked on May 81.
By commencing the engagement on july )
with the port battery and turning the Brooklyn
around with port helm Commodore Schley
the Spanish vessels, especially with the Niscaya
and Colon.
The turn of the Brooklyn to starboard was
made to avoid getting her into dangerous
proximity to the Spanish vessels. The turn
was made toward the Texas and caused that
vessel to stop and to back her eng ines to avoid
possible collision.
Admiral Schley did injustice to Lieut.. Com.
A. c. Hodgson in publishing only portion
of the correspondence which passed between
them.
Commodore Schley's conduct in connection
with the events of the Santiago campaign prior
to June l, 1898, was characterized by vacilla
ton, dilatoriness and lack of enterprise.
His official reports regarding the coal sup
ply and the coaling facilities of the Flying
Squadron were inaccurate and misleading.
His conduct during the battle of July was
selfpossessed, and he encouraged, in his own
person, his subordinate officers and men to
tioht courageouslv. GEORGE DEWEY,

patch, Commodore Schley having in view the
Importance of arriving off Cientuegos with as
much coal as possible in the ships bunkers
The blockade Of Cienfuegos was effective.
Commodore Schley in permitting the steam

pected to obtain Information concerning the
Spanish squadron from her when she came out.
The passage from Cienfuegos to "A point
about % miles south of Santiago was made
with as much dispatch as was possible, while
keeping the squadron unit
The blockade of Santiago was effective.
Commodore Schley was the senior officer of
our squadron off Santiago when the Spanish
squadron attempted to escape on the morning
of july 3. 1898. He was in absolute command
