To subsJantiate my convictions, per
nit me TO file the following facts:
At S:45 o'clock on that beautiful
morning IN July, Mr. Sampson had
business elsewhere. what business or
what he accomplished, the public does
not know.
At $3.50 O'Clock the Spanish fleet came
out OF the harbor. These two facts are
at least remarkable, if not significant.
How far the New York steamed in
forty-flve minutes is of course, q mat
ter Of conjecture, but as a matter of
fact il cannot be said that she steamed
beyond the sound of the booming Of
those big guns, for it has been said
they We're heard seventy-five miles
away, and from my own experience
know that the old smooth-bore, 100
pound Delgreen guns, used in the war
Of tae rebellion, could be heard fifty
miles.
/ Now the evidence of Admiral Schley
Cod bless hinl-says the 3rd of July
opened a beautiful morning so that
the sound Of that great naval fight
must have been heard at SibOney. The
distance to Siboney was not established
by the testimony. but by the evidence
we are informed that Sampson was ten
or twelve miles away when the battle
was fought.
According to the testimony already
furnished for the Information of the
American public, says that Sampson
was commander in the fight and that
the order to cease firing was given
from his flagship, the New York. (See
Lieutenant w. n. King. L. 5. N, His
tory Of The Spanish War;
The New York has a speed of from
eighteen 10 twenty knots an hour Is
it possible that Sampson was within
ten or twenty miles of that battle that
lasted four hours or more, and did not
get into It, but did get there one hour
and fifteen minutes after the Colon had
fired her lee gum IN other words. is
It possible that it took the New York
five hours to come from Siboney to
where the battle was fought?
We have ample knowledge that the
firing was heard at Siboney. but there

NOW FOR SAMPSON


To the Editor OF The Herald:
If you viii allow me the space,
would like to say a few words in con-
nection with the Sampson-Schley con-
troversy. l say Simpsons chley. be
cause these are the two men affected
by it the most, and why Mr.. Sampson
has not been forced to take his proper
place in this disgraceful affair seems
peculiar, TO say the least. There Is no
doubt in my mind that Mr.. Sampson
is the instigator of this dirty business.
and I think his conduct both before and
after the memorable battle of Santiago
should be investigated. Everything
points to the conclusion that he ran
away 9TOm that battle. and was care
full not to return until after the battle
was over.
