That Famous Loop.

The evidence submitted to the
schley court of inquiry has already
reached the case of the famous loop.
the making of which, according to the
testimony given, put the Texas in the
greatest peril she experienced in the
course of the engagement. The ex-
plantations OF the witness showed the
peril amounted to this: That if the
Texas had not looked out where she
was going there might have been q
collision as the Brooklyn crossed her
course. That, however, was just the
proper business of her commander,
and the most that can be alleged is
that time was lost by the precautions
taken to avoid collision. As it was.
the two vessels passed at safe dis
lance. According to Commander
Heilner the distance was only about
l50 yards, although the official chart,
prepared by the navy department, in
dicates half mile OF more.
Admiral Schley has yet to explain
why he made that backward loop, but
the public has already had the state
ments of the Spanish commanders
that their plan of attack was to con-
centrate their fire upon the Brooklyn
and ram her if possible. The back
ward loop defeated this scheme, since
by following the Brooklyn then the
Spanish vessels would have been
brought nearer to our vessels rushing
up from the east. Its effect was to
break up the intended concentration
against the Brooklyn, although the
Brooklyn sustained from first to last
the brunt of the engagement, being
hit more frequently than all the other
vessels, and at the same time intlict-
ing severe damage upon every Spanish
vessel.
The bare official record of the gun
fire during the engagement completely
refutes such imputatlons upon Ad-
miral Schley's courage as were put
forth In Maclay's socalled history, and
leaves it puzzle why Schley's reputa-
ton has been so frequently attacked.
The truth of the matter seems to be
that Schley did not show efficiency as
a fleet commander, and that Sampson
was entitled to the credit of arranging
an effective blockade of Santiago har-
Dor and preparing the way for the
victory which followed. Sampson's
absence when the enlargement took
place, and the prominence obtained by
schley, were regarded as more good
fortune than the latter deserved. The
resentment thus inspired has, however,
Sound expression in ways that can
only be described as silly, while Schley's
conduct has been characterized by
tact and propriety. by natural re-
action of public sentiment Admiral
Sampson has received less credit than
he deserved for his services, which
were really arduous end most carefully
performed. by the time the court has
finished its labors better understand
Ing of the situation may be reached,
so that justice will prevail. Pitts
