LOSS OF DISTANCE AND POSITION.
BY commencing the engagement on July
with the port battery and turning the
Brooklyn around with port helm, Com
modore Schley caused her to lose distance
and position with the Spanish vessels
especially with the Nizcaya and Colon
The turn OF the Brooklyn to starboard
was made to avoid getting her into dam
gerous proximity to the Spanish vessels.
The turn was made toward the Texas and
caused that vessel 10 stop and back her
engines 10 avoid possible collision
Admiral Schley did injustice to Mr..
Hodeson by publishing only a portion
OF the correspondence which passed be-,
tween them.
Schleys conduct was characterized with
vacillation. diliatoriness and lack OF en-
terprise His official reports regarding
the coal supply and the coaling facilities
OF the flying squadron were inaccurate
and misleading. His conduct during the
battle Of July was self-possessed AMI
he fought i'm his own personal way ami
