by the great French case before justice

cuted officer.
Whatever may be the result Of the court
Of inquiry, it will in no way interfere with

gresham Schirm, backed by the Maryland
delegation, will propose. Court or no court.
congress must sift this matter to the bot
tom. The things that will not come be-
fore any court-martial are those things
which will prove the existence OF con
spiracy among the Junior officers OF the
navy, temporarily clothed with power
through their appointment as chiefs of de-
partment bureaus, to shelve the older OFF,
GERS and reap for themselves and their
immediate friends the honors and rewards
of the Spanish war. A more diabolical
scheme was never launched than was this,
which has resulted in this long-standing
scandal, where there should have been
only glory. Congress can go to the heart
of that conspiracy and lay the whole thing

will be in a position to take such action
as will forever prevent repetition of the
methods that have been employed against
Schley.
There is but one word more to be said
in this connection. BY acknowledging that
he read the proofs Of Maclay's slanderous
volume and approved them. the RESPONSE
bility for the charges made against Schley
is assumed by Sampson: Should the court
OF inquiry vindtcate Schley and relieve him
of this opprobrium, the people Of the Unit
ed States will demand that the navy de-
partment order Sampson before a court
martial for having slandered brother

The SchIeyC Court Of Inquiry
How Constituted That Led Up to II. creadon-The Santiago
Scandal and maclays Sensational Chases-Unique
in Naval Military History.

court of inquiry to investigate the
charges that have been made against
Rear Admiral Schley in various quar-
tiers ever since the naval battle of
Santiago. The courts findings ought
to settle at once and forever the pas
sionate controversy which has already
too long afflicted the navy and the
whole country. The charges against
Admiral Schley and the replies by his
friends are voluminous and involved.
The main charges, however, and the
replies to them, may be summarized
as follows:
'"That instead of going on to Santiago
Schley fingered for several days at Glen
fuegos without ascertaining that Cervera
was not there, until the arrival OF capt.
McCalla. But the reason for this delay
has lust been disclosed by Rear Admiral
Evans, who says that all the captains had
been given a code of signals with which TO
communicate with the rebels on shore ex-
cept the captain of the Brooklyn and Com
modore Schley. Why Schley was kept in
ignorance of the signals and code Is one
of the points of inquiry to come before
the court.
'"That. having almost reached Santiago,
he turned back, disobeying an order to
coal at sea, but afterward coaled and re-
turned. To this Schley makes answer by
producing letter from Sampson omitted
from the correspondence officially pub
lished, In which Sampson expressed the
opinion that If Cervera had gone to San
tiago he would have to come out and make
for Cienfuegos or Havana, and directing
Schley to guard Cienfuegos.
THAT In the battle the Brooklyn ran
away from the Spanish vessels. This
charge is based upon the handling Of the
vessel Under the direction Of Schley the
Brooklyn described a circle. temporarily
turning away from the foe to avoid blan-

The navy department is doing every
thing possible to make the inquiry
open and above board. The new gun
shop at the navy yard fitted up for the
inquiry will have seats for more than
GOO people. This will make the inquiry
one of the most publicly conducted
military tribunals ever held in the
country. It is recognized that there
is great public interest in the inquiry,
and the department has departed from
the ordinary regulations governing
such affairs to make it as public as a
trial in any civil court.

Capt. Lemly is as follows:

quiry to determine the value of the
gossip circulated about him and his
official actions. Secretary Long COM
piled with this request, and appointed
Admiral George Dewey, Rear Ad-
miral A. E. K. Benham and Rear Ad-
miral Henry L. Howison to constitute
the commission. Capt. Samuel C. Lem.
ly, judge advocate general of the navy,
was designated to act as judge advo-
cate of the court. He will have the
assistance of the law firm of Stayton
& Campbell, of New York, and the pa
pers of the commission will be handled
and prepared by Edgar May, clerk
in the Office of the Judge advocate gen.
eral. Admiral Schley will be legally
represented by Capt. James Parker,
Attorney Raynor and Jeremiah Will
son, one of the finest criminal lawyers
in the United States.
The preparations for the court of
inquiry were placed in the hands of
Frank w. Hackett, assistant secretary
of the navy, who had the assistance Of
Admiral Crowninshield, chief of the
bureau Of navigation, who, by many,
is considered responsible for much Of
the bitterness Of the Santiago contro-
versy.

The naval regulations provide that
officers of the navy travelling under
orders in the United States shall be
allowed eight cents per mile while SO
engaged in lieu of their actual ex-
penses.
Officers travelling to the United
States from foreign station will
receive subsistence pay at the rate OF
from so cents to one dollar per day
if travelling on a naval vessel or on
any army transport. But as very few
of the officers summoned from for
eign countries can travel on govern
ment vessels actual travelling ex-
penses will be allowed for the sea voy-
age, and eight cents per mile for such
part of the journey as is made by rail.
A naval officer coming from the Phil
ippines to San Francisco on mer-
chant vessel would receive about $500
for the sea voyage, $3.50 for the jour
ney from San Francisco to Washing
ton and the same returning to his post.
Officers ordered to appear as wit
nesses before court of inquiry or
to serve as members of court re-
ceive no extra compensation. Retired
officers ordered to duty on court OF
inquiry will receive full active pay
for the time employed. All officers
whose presence is required in Wash
ington, except those on duty there,
will receive Communication of quarters
while there at the rate of SIP room
per month, and are allowed number
of rooms, according to rank.
In addition to the expense Of bring
ing witnesses there are the running
expenses of the court. Stenographers
and clerical force are required,

be uncomfortable. q=..se..s- M -r-

him. Viewed in whatever light it may be.
the foregoing dispatch cannot be char

out exception the most humiliating, cow
ardly and lamentable report ever penned
by an American naval officer" (Vol. Ill,
y. 2ss.)
"Let the Texas take care Of herself,

pended such vast quantities of ammuni-

sented." (Vol. Ill, p. 364)

escape getting too close to danger. =.
Schley's contribution to naval strategy, as

A newspaper interview report, Mr..
Maclay as saying, when his attention
was called to these extracts: IF
Admiral Schley had been in any other
navy in the worlu, he would have
been court-martialed and shot. That
is my opinion, and the opinion of the
majority of the officers in the navy"
The New York Sun, too, which re-
fers to Mr.. Maclay in it's issue of July
20 as "the most distinguished living
American historian" says of Admiral
Schley that his official record creeks
with deceit" and "compels the pre-
sumption that he was coward, and
the conviction that he was not hon.

from whose decision there can be no
appeal, unless the matter should be
taken up by the congress-as step that
has several times been urged by the
MARYLAND delegation in the national
house of representatives, all OF whose
members are in hearty sympathy with
admiral Schley and opposed to Ad-
miral Sampson.

than hints that Admiral Schley is q
liar, q coward and a ''caitiff." Here
are several passages:
I'm his report about the coal supply Of
the vessels under his command, Schley
exhibited either timidity amounting to
absolute cowardice or a prevarication of
facts that was intrinsically falsehood."
(Vol. Ill, p. 1861

which duty, honor, and the whole Amer
lean people were most earnestly urging

keting the fire Of other vessels and to get
a commanding position from which to head
of the escaping vessels. Cervera and 9TH
er Spanish officers admit that the maneuv-
ers Of the Brooklyn frustrated their plans"
Capt. Cook, of the Brooklyn, says
in an interview published in the New
York Herald that he gave the order
for the ''loop," and he tells the rea-
son for it by saying:
1.-THE Brooklyn made beautiful turn.
bows Of the leading ship Of the enemy.
Our helm was put aport to head of the
Spanish fleet, and the Brooklyn turned
rapidly and beautifully.
Il remember distinctly giving the order
to the quartermaster. You see clearly the
head Of the leading ship said to him.
The idea Is to get directly ahead of her
Il thought We might sacrifice our ship,
but believed we would hold the feet for
our battleships."
Other charges against Admiral
schley are that he might have de-
stroyed the Colon, which lay at an
Choir from May ~ to 81, inclusive, but
that he did not do so; and that he
used letter written to him by Lieut..
Hodgson, of the Brooklyn, lmprop-
erly. The lieutenant was reported in
an interview as saying that during
the famous "loop," when Commodore
Schley's attention was called to the
fact that the Brooklyn was in dam
ger of ramming the Texas, he said:
ID the Texas! Let the Texas
look out for herself" Soon after
this appeared the admiral made pub
lie letter from the lieutena1t deny
ing the correctness Of the Interview.
The charge is that when the admiral
made public that letter, he haa in his
possession another letter from the
lieutenant explaining that it was the
literal, not the substantial, correct
ness of the intervl.w that he denied.
