larations as to having preferences, but
refused to specify again his preferen.

Roosevelt has jumped into the Schley-
Sampson controversy himself
Through Secretary Of War Elihu Root
he sent message to Secretary of the
Navy Long ordering that Edwin S.
Maclay, the "historlan," whose at
tacks on Schley started the Court of
Inquiry, be dismissed from his. posi-
ton as special laborer at the Brook
lyn navy yard. There was some mis-
understanding at first, belief being
general that the President had ignor-
ed Secretary Long by permitting Sec.
retary Root Of the Army to give out
the Maclay dismissal. The fact was
that the President had not the letter
written when Secretary Long left his
office, and gave it to Secretary Root
to give to Secretary Long. Secretary
Root could not find Secretary Long
and made the letter public. At the
same time that Secretary of War
Root gave out the Maclay dismissal,
he sent the following letter of CEN
sure to Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
commanding the army, because Of his
expressions on the finding Of the
Schley Court OF Inquiry.
''War Department,
Washington, Dec. 81.
"Sir--I am instructed by the Presi.
closed report of an interview with
you appearing in the Associated Press
newspapers of Tuesday, Dec. II, and
to inquire whether the observations
upon the action of coordinate branch
of the service in matter now pend
ing in the Navy department were as
reported, and If So to afford you such
opportunity for explanation in writing
as you may ueSlre.
"Very respectfully,
"ELIHU ROOT,
Secretary of War.
Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles,

The interview referred to by Secre-
t,, ipI,
coincided with Dewey's opinion in the
Schley Court of Inquiry.
10 the Secretary's letter Gen. Miles
made this reply:
Headquarters of the Army,
Washington, Dec. 20.
"The Honorable Secretary of War,
Washington, ID. c.: 4
"Sir-Replying to your note of the
10th inst, l have the honor to state
that my observations, as substantial

We're merely my private views based
upon matters set forth in various pub
lications which had been given to the
world, and concerning which con-
ceive there was no impropriety in ex-
pressing an opinion, the same as any
other citizen, upon a matter Of such
public interest.

intended as a criticism of any action
taken by a coordinate branch of the

Gen. Miles supplemented this letter
with the following, handed to the Sec
retary yesterday:
"Sir-Referring to my note of yester.
day, and in order that there may be
no misunderstanding l desire to say
that for several years u distinguished
and gallant officer has been assailed

assalants to coordinate branch of
the government. That coordinate
branch of the government granted him

him from such epithets ms coward
