FEELING AMONG NAVAL OFFICERS.
Sentiment Regarding the New Service
Medal,

The general feeling among naval officers
Is that Secretary Long made happy solu
ton of the so-called Sampson-Schley con-
troVersy in so far as 1t concerns the medal
to be struck In commemoration of the West
Indian naval engagements. Following the
strict letter of the statute, the Secretary
has provided a general battle medal and
has In that way obviated the criticisms
that might have resulted from a medal
commemorating only the battle of Santiago
and making either Sampson or Schley the
particular hero of that memorable occa-
sion. The friends and partisanS of Admiral
Schley would have naturally objected to
such official recognition of Sampson in the
single battle of Santiago and the friends of
Admiral Sampson would have equal objec-
tions to giving Schley undue prominence
for that victory.
The act of Congress authorizing the Navy
department to prepare and award medals
directed that they should be distribute ed for
services rendered lin the naval and other
engagements in the waters of the West
Indies and on the shores of Cuba during
the war with SPAIN There is absolutely
no mention of Santiago, and naval officers
feel that 1t would be unjust to officers and
men who participated in other engagements
TO award them a medal which commence
rates but one battle, though that battle
oVershadowed all others in Importance
The board has decided, and the Secretary
or the Navy has approved the decision
that the sailors and marines who were en-
gagged in blockade duty shall have the med
al Qn their case meritorious service
medaD as well as the man who actually
participated in the fighting. Everybody
who was in the West Indian campaign at
all. as either blockader or fighter, will get
medal of one kind or the other Hobson
and his men will get meritorious service
medals, according to Secretary Long for
the Merrimac incident, and in addition.
they may receive battle medals when they
can show that they were aboard the New
York or other vessels which actually en-
gagged in fighting.
The act of Congress required the Secre-
tary of the Navy to designate the actions
In West Indian waters, participation in
which would entitle sailor to a battle
medal. This matter being referred to the
board, they reported that these actions

Secretary Long has administered a rep-

the navy. recently convicted by court
martial at Philadelphia of a violation of
the statute In regard to the use Of govern
ment funds for private purposes.
The Secretary says:
THE sentence does not appear to be
adequate to the nature of the offense.
which is a plain and fragrant violation of a
very salutary provision of law with which
every officer Is assumed to be familiar.
The court has, in disregard Of regulation

You also state that 'overpayments to Off

and the department is advised that it is
not so-you are hereby notified that such
practice must stop at once. Nothing can
be more demoralizing and conducive to
fraud and defalcation than to open the
door, ever so slightly. to such misuse of
funds. Every paymaster, every officer,
must understand this. If rigorous action
were not taken In your case the entire
service might infer that such violations
and abuses are winked at. The depart
ment cannot understand how any pay
master with proper sense of his duty
can thus put to his own use the money
of the government If $500 be misapplied,
then $1,000: and the next step is embezzle-
