BY Judge Advocate Lemly and
Solicitor Hanna.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Judge Advo-
cate Lemly and Solicitor Hanna Fri
day afternoon submitted to Secretary
Long their report upon the bill of
objections filed by Admiral Schley,
throug h his counsel, to the findings
of the Schley court of inquiry. In
substance this report is an argu-
ment supplementary to the argument
made by the writer's before the court
of inquiry. The principal points are
an insistence upon their contention
that the first report is the unanimous
report of the court of inquiry; that
the court was justified in rejecting
Admiral Schley's evidence by the
number of witnesses who took issue
with him and that there is no sufti-
cient reason for reopening OF the
case as requested by Admiral schley.
Secretary Long has not yet acted
upon the report, but is expected to
do so Saturday. If adopted, the re-
port will be forwarded TO Admiral
Schley,
