wILL Re A PAcKEp couRr.

There win be some disappointment
among the frienda Of Admiral schley
over the fact that he has called for
naval court Of inquiry to determine
the facts Of the Santiago campaign.
It Is practically certain that the court
will be packed against him by the
conspirators Of the navy department.
General Miles had a taste of this
experience. He asked military
court Of inquiry on his charges that
bad beef had been provided for the
army in the West Indies. His request
was granted with the result that, with
stack of evidence two feet high on
the subject Of putrid beef before the
court they found that the charge of
General Miles against the rascally
commissaries and contractors was
not sustained
The verdict Of the packed military
court was against General Miles, who
sought TO protect the army from
fraud through bad rations-not against
the commissary department which had
furnished the bad ratious.
That was the result of a court ap-
pointed by the enemies Of General
Miles in the wra department. Prob
ably Admiral schley

Indifferent court appointed by his
enemies in the navy department
The only just and thorough inves-
tigation into the affairs Of the San
tiago campaign that can be made win
come through committee of con.
gress. or course, an attempt would
be made to pack a congressional
committee Of investigation, but a
fight for honesty and justice can be
openly made in the senate and the
house which can not be made In the
secret recessos of the navy depart
ment.
The congressional investigation
should include not merely the Incl
dents ei the Santiago campaign 1t
should extend to all the bureaus OF
the department and 10 every nest Of
fayoritism. The naval court may re
veal some truth. A congressional In
Quiry would reveal The whole truth.
This investigation should begin
with Secretary Long at the top and
follow the entire course of Affairs
