A MIXED VERDICT.
Findings Of the Schley Court OF Inquiry
Given In n Nutshell.

The report of the Schley Court OF
Inquiry has been promulgated by
Secretary Long. There are two re-
ports. Admirals Benham and Ram
sey concur in the first, which is
signed by Admiral Dewey also as a
matter of form. Admiral Dewey
makes a separate report, although
he agrees with the findings Of facts
subscribed TO by the others.
The majority report condemns
Admiral Schley on eleven points,
while Admiral Dewey sustalns him
in most points. The majority opin-
ion finds in brief that Admiral
Schley should have proceeded with
the utmost dispatch to Cienfuegos
and maintained a close blockade 1;
that he should have endeavored to
obtain information of the Spanish
squadron there that he should not
have made the retrograde move
ment : that he should have
obeyed the departments orders /;
that he should have eadeavored to
capture the Spanish vessels in San
tiago that he did not do his ut
most TO destroy the Colon that he
caused the squadron to lose dis
lance in the loop of the Brooklyn !;
that he thereby caused the Texas
to back ; that he did injustice to
Hodgson that his conduct in the
campaign was characterized by
vacillation, dilitatoriness, lack of
enterprise that his official reports
on the coal supply were misleading
and inaccurate that his conduct
during the battle was self-possessed
and that he encouraged in his own
person his subordinate officers aad
men.
Admlral dewey In his report says
that the passage to Cienfuegos was
made with all dispatch that in
view of his coal supply the block
ade of Cienfuegos was effective ;
that he allowed the Aula to enter
Cienfuegos to get information that
his passage to Santiago was with as
much dispatch as possible keeping
the squadron together; that the
blockade of Santiago was effective,
and, finally, that he was the senior
officer of Santiago, in absolute
command, and entitled to the credit
due for the glorious victory which
resulted in the total destruction of
the Spanish ships.
