The opinion of the senate is
divided as to the probability of
a congressional investigation of
the Schley controversy, but it is,
on the whole, against the proba-
bility of such a course. The
majority of Republican senator's
appear to be adverse to reopening
the question. Those holding this
view include the friends of Schley
The Democratic senators gener-
ally seem to wait upon an express
sion of opinion by the friends of
Schley. Senator Rawlins thought
a resolution of confidence would
be in order. Jones, Arkansas,
thought resolution bearing upon
the question was among the prob
abilities. Representative PearCe,
Maryland, who represents the
Maryland district from which
Schley came, stated today he
would introduce a resolution for
congressional investigation of the
entire Sampson-Schley affair, un-
less his colleague from Maryland,
Schirm, who contemplated intro
ducing such a resolution, carried
out his action.

RESOLUTION EXPRESSING
GRATITUDE TO SHLEY.
~<NrN~~NeSN.>-N~<

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 16-At the opening Of today's
session of the senate Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas intro
duced Joint resolution, as follows:
"That the thanks of congress and the American
people are hereby rendered to Rear Admiral Winfield
S. Schey and the officers and under his command
for highly distinguished conduct i'll conflict with the
enemy, displayed by them in the destruction of the
Spanish fleet off the harbor of Santiago, Cuba, July
3, 1898.
"'That che president of the United States be re-
quested to this resolution to be communicated
to Rear Admiral Schley, and through him to the
officers and men under his commando
Without comment the resolution was referred to
the committee naval affairs
White Oaks eagle. (White Oaks, N.M.) 189?-190?, 1901-12-26

It has been supposed that the American fleet beat the
Spanish fleet, and since force much supe-
rior that idea has detracted somewhat from the glory
of the victory.
1t seems now that this was mistake. The Maria
Teresa was put out of action by the American fleet
but the other Spanish ships got away and they
caught and beaten, not by fleet but by the Brook
lyn and Oregon alone, with little help from the
Texas "Fightng Bob" Evans and the rest traed
along later to receive the surrender of the ships that
the Brooklyn and Oregon had driven ashore.
SIMPSONS plan was for our fleet to form semi
circle about the mouth of the harbor and meet the
enemy he out. It tried and failed.
Three of the Spanish ships broke through the
don, apparently unhurt and would have escaped had
not the Brooklyn and Oregon developed unexpected
speed in the chase. The facts might never have
come out if the Sampson ring had not forced Schley
into court.
Schley said there was glory enough for all, and
there would have been if the others had been content
to have it But that the truth has been
thrashed out on the witness stand it appears that
there really little more than enough glory for
Schley, Cook and Clark And the victory by
their two ships shines more spendidly than when it
supposed to have been divided among five six.

FOUND GUILTY IN ELEVEN CHARGES.
Admiral Dewey flakes Minority
Report, indicating Schley's AC-
ton in the Matter.

The majority report condemns
Admiral Schley on eleven points,
while Admiral Dewey sustains
him in most particulars.
The majority opinion finds, in
brief, that Admiral Sch1ey should
have proceeded with the utmost
dispatch to Cienfugos and there
maintained close blockade; that
he should have endeavored to have
obtained information of the Span
iardS there; that he ShOnld have
proceeded to Santiago with all
possible dispatch, that he should
not have made the retrograde
movement; that he should have
obeyed the departments orders;
that he should have endeavored
to capture the Spanish vessels in
Santiago harbor; that he did not
do his utmost to destroy the Girls
tobal Colon while she lay at the
the mouth of Santiago harbor;
that he caused the squadron to
lose distance in the loop of the
Brooklyn; that he thereby caused
the Texas to back; that he did in
justice to Hodgson; that his
conduct of the campaign was
characterized by dilatoriness and
lack of enterprise; that his official
reports on his coal supply were
inaccurate and misleading; that
his conduct in battle was self
possessed, and that he encouraged
in his own person his subordinate
officers and men.
The report of Admiral Dewey
says that the passage to Cienfu-
gos was made with all possible
dispatch; that, in view of the coal
supply of the squadron, the block
ade off Cienfugos was effective as
possible to make it; that the Ad-
ula was allowed to enter Cienfu-
gos harbor to get information:
that the passage to Santiago was
made with as much dispatch as
possible, keeping the squadron
together; that the blockade of
Santiago was effective; and, fl
nally, that Admiral Schley was
senior officer off Santiago, in alb
solute command, and entitled to
the credit due for the glorious
victory, which resulted in the
total destruction of the Spanish
