the senior officer off Santiago. in abso- lute command. and entitled to the credit due for the glorious victory which resulted in the total destruction of the Spanish ships.
 The giving out of the findings of the court concludes one of the most pro- longed. interesting and important naval ever held in this country. The sessions of the court lasted one week short of three months in open session. A month more was taken by the court to deliberate upon the testimony offered in oper court. The result cannes as q surprise.
 Both reports are signed by George Dewey. as president. and Samuel Lemly. as judge advocate. This is the form said to be recognized in all courts of in quiry, the signatures of the other mem bers not being necessary. It Is explained that Adimral Dewey signed the second. a minority report, to express his quail fcation of or dissent from the views expressed by the court. comprising himself and Admirals Benham and Ramsey, in the first report. It is said at the navy department that there will be no further proceedings in this cele- brated case on the departments initia- tive. Secretary Long and Judge Ad-
  cuss the findings in any phase.
 The secretary of the navy received the reports at o'clock this evening and has not yet acted upon them. It is probable that he will simply append his signature, with the word "Ap- proved" to the whole record. The court itself recommends no further proceed ings. owing to the lapse of time.
 There was an air of animation this morning about the building in which the court held it's secret sessions and it soon became evident that the end of the case was at hand. Captain Lemly was closeted with the members of the court most of the afternoon, and when he started for the navy department he carried the reports with him.
 4 representative of the Associated Press conveyed the first information of the findings of the court to Admiral Schley. He was seated in the public reception room of the Hotel Chittenden with friends and several newspaper men and evinced no signs of nervous ness over the outcome
 When the conclusions of Admiral Dewey were read to him. Admiral Schley showed pleasure. and it was evil dent from his manner that he regarded the statement from Admiral Dewey as a vindication of his cause. He declined to make any statement concerning the courts findings and. excusing himself from the little company which was gathered about him. went to his apart ments. where Mrs. Schley had been anxiously waiting to hear the courts decision. Later an official copy was brought to the hotel by Q messenger from the navy department.

SERVANT GIRL PLAYS LADY
On Proceeds of Jewelry Stolen in
 Brookline. Mass.

New York. Dec. 13.-A young woman who registered at the eiilsey house on November 13 as Marian Wanamaker of San Francisco. and said that she had come to this city to do little shopping. was locked up in police headquarters yesterday afternoon on a charge of grand larceny. The police say that she is q servant girl, but knows how to hide her vocation.
 According to Captain Titus, her real name is Mary Driscoll. In October, so he says, she went to work for the fam fly of Albert B. Merrill on Rawson road, BroolSline, Mass, and on Novefn- Der : left there, taking with her family jewelry worth s1,50O.
 The Brcckline police sent notice of the theft to neighboring cities and one of these notices came into the hands of Chief Detective Parker of Providence. R. I. He learned that on November 5 diamond cross worth $500. which had been stolen from Mir. Merrill. had been pawned in Providence for s3s by q young woman answering the descrip- ton of the servant girl He also learned that this young woman had come to New York.
 Captain Titus discovered that the young woman. who then said she was Edith l.. Chase. had gone to Berger's pawnshop at AGO Sixth avenue and had

BY THE MAJORITY
His Course In the Events Leading to and Attending the Battle of Santiago Bay Generally Sustained by Admiral Dewey Who Says That Admiral Schley Was the Senior Officer in Command and is Entitled to the Credit of That Glorious Victory.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The report of the Schley court of inquiry was pro- mulgated by Secretary Long tonight. There are two reports.
 Admiral Benham and Admiral Ram sey concur fin the first, which is signed by Admiral Dewey also as a matter of form. Admiral Dewey makes separate report. although he agrees with the findings of fact subscribed to by the others.
 The majority report condemns Ad- miral Schley on eleven points. while Admiral Dewey sustains him in most particulars. The majority opinion finds. in brief. that Admiral Schley should have proceeded with the utmost dispatch to Cienfuegos and maintained a close blockade; that he should have endeavored to obtain information Of the Spanish fleet there: that he should have proceeded to Santiago with 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 San tiago: that he did not do his utmost to destroy the Colon; 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 injustice to Hodgson; that his conduct in the campaign was characterized by vacillation, dilatoriness and lack of en- terprise; that his official reports on the coal supply were misleading and in accurate: that his conduct during the battle was self-possessed and that he encouraged in his own person his subordinate officers and men.
 Admiral Dewey in his report says that the passage to Cienfuegos was made with all dispatch. in view of his coal supply, and that the blockade of Cienfuegos was effective: that he all lowed Adula to enter CienfuegoS to get information, and that his passa ge to Santiago was with as much dispatch as possible. keeping his squadron to- gether; that the blockade of Santiago was effective, and. finally, that he was
