author. of his decision. In this con-
nection the secretary says that the

tion of the fleets. which contained a
summary of the orders which he as

war. The chapter WAS satisfactory
and he returned 1t to Mr.. Maclay with
an indication OF his approval. He says
he never saw the account of the battle
of Santiago and the criticisms of Rear
Admiral Schley until after the book
was published. Mr.. Maclny was ap-
pointed to his present position in the
