Capt. Cook, of the Brooklyn, says

son for it by saying:

erly. The lieutenant was reported in
an interview as saying that during
the famous loop" when Commodore
Schley's attention was called to the
fact that the Brooklyn was in dan
ger of ramming the Texas, he said:
d the Texas! Let the Texas
look out for herself" Soon after
this appeared the admiral made pub
lie letter from the lieutenant deny

The charge is that when the admiral
made public that letter, he haa in his
possession another letter from the
lieutenant explaining that it was the
literal, not the substantial, correct
ness of the interview that he denied.

The naval regulations provide that
officers of the navy travelling under
orders in the United States shall be
allowed eight cents per mile while so
engaged in lieu of their actual ex-
penses-
Officers travelling to the United
States from foreign station will
receive subsistence pay at the rate of
from so cents to one dollar per day
If travelling on naval vessel or on
any army transport. But as very few
of the officers summoned from for
eign countries can travel on govern
ment vessels Getual travelling ex-
penses will be allowed for the sea voy-
age, and eight cents per mile for such
part of the journey as is made by rail.
A naval officer coming from the Phil
ippines to San Francisco on a mer-
chant vessel would receive about $500
for the sea voyage, $3.50 for the jour-
ney from San Francisco to Washing
ton and the same returning to bis post.
Officers ordered to appear as wit
nesses before court of inquiry or
to serve as members of court re-
ceive no extra compensation. Retired
officers ordered to duty on a court of
inquiry will receive full active pay
for the time employed. All officers
whose presence is required in Wash
ington, except those on duty there,
will receive communication of quarters
while there at the rate of $12 room
per month, and are allowed a number
of rooms, according to rank.
In addition to the expense of bring
ing witnesses there are the running
heXpenses of the court. Stenographers
and a clerical force are required,
while the item of stationery will not
be inconsiderable.

the prosecution &c il to the stage reached
by the great French case before justice
was finally done the maligned and perse-
cuted officer.
Whatever may be the result Of the court
OF inquiry, 1t will in no way interfere with
the congressional investigation which Con-
gresham Schirm, backed by the Maryland
delegation, will propose. Court or no court,
congress must sift this matter to the bot
tom. The things that will not come be-
fore any court-martial are those things
which will prove the existence of a con-
spiracy among the junior officers of the
navy temporarily clothed with power
through their appointment as chiefs of de-
partment bureaus, to shelve the older off,
GERS and reap for themselves and their
immediate friends the honors and rewards
of the Spanish war. A more diabolical
scheme was never launched than was this,
which has resulted in this long-standing
scandal, where there should have been
only glory. Congress can go to the heart
OF that conspiracy and lay the whole thing
bare, as nobody else can do, and when its
findings have been determined upon it
Will be in position to take such action
| as Will forever prevent repetition of the
methods that have been employed against
! Schley.
There is but one word more to be said
IN this connection. BY acknowledging that
ne read the proofs of Maclay's sanderous
volume and approved them, the RESPONSE
| bility for the charges made against Schley
Is assumed by Sampson. Should the court
Oh inquiry vindicate Schley and relieve him
OF this opprobrium. the people of the Unit
ed States Will demand that the navy de-
Partment order Sampson before a court
/ martial for having slandered a brother
onlcer who is his superior in the service"

The navy department is doing every
thing possible to make the inquiry
open and above board. The new gun
shop at the navy yard fitted up for the
inquiry will have seats for more than
600 people. This will make the inquiry
one of the most publicly conducted
military tribunals ever held in the
country. 1t is recognized that there
is great public interest in the inquiry,
and the department has departed from
the ordinary regulations governing
such affairs to make it as public as a
trial in any civil court.

Capt. Lemly is as follows:

gossip circulated about him and his
official actions. Secretary Long com
piled with this request, and appointed
Admiral George Dewey, Rear Ad-
miral A. Il. X. Benham and Rear Ad-
miral Henry l.. Howison to constitute
the commission. Capt Samuel c. Lem

was designated to act as Judge advo-

assistance of the law firm of Stayton

The preparations for the court of

Frank w. Hackett, assistant secretary
of the navy, who had the assistance of

is considered responsible for much of
the bitterness of the Santiago contro-

The SchleyC Court Of Inquiry
How Constituted That led Up to It's CAon-The anso
Scandal and Ma!ays Sensational Charse-Unque
in Naval Military History

court Of inquiry to investigate the
charges that have been made against
Rear Admiral Schley in various quar-
tiers ever since the naval battle of
Santiago. The courts findings ought
to settle at once and forever the pas
sionate controversy which has already
too long afflicted the navy and the
whole country. The charges against
Admiral Schley and the replies by his
friends are voluminous and involved.
The main charges, however, and the
replies to them, may be summarized
as follows:
"That instead of going on to Santiago
Schley fingered for several days at Glen
fuegos without ascertaining that Ceryera
was not there, until the arrival OF capt.
McCalla. But the reason for this delay
has just been disclosed by Rear Admiral
Evans who says that all the captains had
been given code OF signals with Which to
communicate with the rebels on shore ex-
cept the captain of the Brooklyn and Com
modore Schley. Why Schley was kept in
ignorance of the signals and code Is one
of the points of inquiry to come before
the court.
'eThat, having almost reached Santiago,
he turned back, dlsobeying an order TO
coal at sea, but afterward coaled and re-
turned. To this Schley makes answer by
producing a letter from Sampson. omitted
from the correspondence officially pub
lished, IN which Sampson expressed the
opinion that il Cervera had gone to San
tiago he would have to come out and make
for Cienfuegos or Havana, and directing
Schley to guard Cienfuegos.
'"That In the battle the Brooklyr. ran
away from the Spanish vessels. This
charge is based upon the handling OF the
vessel. Under the direction of Schley the
Brooklyn described a circle, temporarily
turning away from the foe to avoid blan-

are several passages:

STRONG PLEA FOR scHrEY.

Newspapers of the Country Seem Fa-
vOrable to Accused Admiral.
The chief newspaper supporter OF
Admiral Schley IS the Baltimore
American, although it may be added
that the great majority of the press
have taken his part. The American
says:
ALREADY there has been too much of the
Dreyfus atmosphere about this matter.
The American people will never tolerate

No Expense VIII he spared TO Make
the Ino=iry Complete.

Secretary of the Navy Long evident

be spared in conducting the court OF

Landlady Fined For Assaulting
Her Tenants,

There was a warm time in police

The cause was an airing Of a Ease Of
domestic friction in which landIady
and tenants were the belHcOse factions
1T was a case of assault and battery,
IN which MS Jennie NJ. Palmer pro
prietor OF Palmer terrace, near Sixth
South and Second West streets, was
accused Of striking, beating and other
wise in treating Mrs. A. II. AIikesell,
who rents a portion of the terrace from
Mrs Palmer.
The trouble occurred the Gay before
Decoration day, when Mrs. Palmer, it
is alleged, gathered n clothes basket
fun of blooms from a syringa bush
which the Mikesells claim was on their
property. and left only a feW stray
Cling buds for those who claimed a
right to the flowers.

refused to permit little Miss Vera

blossoms. ordering her off the premises
and threatening TO throw her over the
fence.

claimed, Mrs. Palmer rushed at her
