 guage of the Fifth Specification.
 Washington, Aug 1.-The navy de- pertinent has refused to aceede to Ad- miral Schley's suggestion that the lan- guage in the fifth specification of the precept to the court of inquiry be mod flied.
 The admiral in his letter challenges that specification, which states as a fact, that he had disobeyed orders and suggested that it be modified. The de- partment in its reply declines to make the suggested modification on the ground that according to the official records Admiral Schley himself ac- knowledged that he had disobeyed or ders. The disobedience of orders was an established fact whether unwilling ly or willingly.
