What Ramsey and Benham Think the
Facts Demonstrate.

What Ramsey and Benham Think the
Facts Demonstrate.
Following is the full opinion of Ad-
mirals Benham and Ramsey, consti-
tutings the majority of the court:
Commodore Schley, in command of
the flying squadron, should have pro-
ceeded with utmost dispatch of Glen
fuegOs and should have maintained n
close blockade of that port. He should
have endeavOred, on May 23, at Glen
fuegOS, to obtain information regarding
the Spanish squadron by communicat-
/ ing with the insurgents at the place
designated in the memorandum deliv-
cred To him at SD n. III. of that date.
He should have proceeded from
CienfuegOs to Santiago de Cuba with
all dispatch. and should have disposed
his vessels with Il view of intercepting
the enemy in any attempt to pass the
flying squadron. He should not have
delayed the squadron for the Eagle7.
He should not have made the retro
grade turn westward with his squad
ron. He should have promptly obeyed
the navy departments order of May
-. lie should have endeavored to
capture or destroy the Spanish vessels
at anchor near the entrance OF Santi-
ago harbOr on May 30 and 80. He did
his command TO capture or destroy the
Colsn and other vessels Of the enemy
which he attacked on May 81.
by commencing the engagement on
July 3 with the port battery and turn
ing the Brooklyn around with port
helm Commodore 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 dangerous proX-
unity to the Spanish vessels. The
turn was made toward the Texas and
caused that vessel to stop and back her
engines to avoid possible collision.
