Washington, july 25.-Rear-Admiral
scbley has addressed the following
Letter to the secretary of the navy
aGreat Neck, l.. l., n, Y, July 22, 1901.
esir-Withir the past few days Sc
rss of press comments have been sent
u me from various parts of the coun-
try of book entitled The History of
the Nevy," written by one Edgar
Stanton Maclay. From these reviews
Il appears that this edition is a third
volume of the said history extended
IN include the late war with Spain,
which the two first volumes did not
contain, and were in use as text books
at the naval academy.
~. From excerpts quoted in some
reviews, in which the page and para
graph are given, there is such per-
version OF facts, misconstruction of
intention, such intemperate abuse and
defamation OF myself, which subjects
Mr.. Maclay to action in civil law.
While admit the right Of fair crit
icsm of every public officer,
must protest against the low filings
and abusive language of this vio-
lent, partisan opponent, who has in
fused into the pnges Of this book so
much OF the malice OF unfsirness as
to make it unworthy the name of his
tnry, or of use in any reputable instl-
tuition Of the country.
"S. have refrained heretofore from
all comment upon the inneudoes of
enemies muttcred or murmured In Sc
cret, and, therefore, with safety TO
themselves. think the time has now
come to take such action as may
bring this entire matter under dis
cussion, under the clearer and calmer
