with the secretary of the navy his
bill of exceptions to the majority find
ings Of the court of inquiry, and also
a letter asking to be allowed TO be
heard in connection with the objections
to be fled by attorneys for admiral
Sampson to the individual opinion Of
Admiral Dewey. This action was taken
after Mr.. Rayner, Mr.. league and Cap
tain Parker of counsel, had held a con-
sultation throughout the day with their
client.
Secretary Long, Immediately after the
receipt of the communication, called
Judge Advocate Lemly and the so
licitor for the department Mr. Hanna.
into conference. At its conclusion the
secretary said that he had no state
ment to make regarding any action
that ne might take in the premises. He,
however, indicated TO Mr.. league,
through the judge advocate, that he
would not hear an oral argument by
Mr.. Rayner regarding Admiral Samp-
sons protest, but that he would re-
/ ceive a written statement.
It was expected that counsel for Ad-
miral Sampson would file their Objec-
/ lions to the findings of Admiral Dewey
