This kind Of danger must not be too
nicely weighed by those whose trade It'll
to dare greatly Tor the honoroi the flag.
The danger referred tois that involving
the probable loss of the Brooklyn had
she been turned toward instead OF away
from the shore in making the loop
lGNoREp IMPORTANT FATS
The fact that the. avoidance OF this nm
necessary danger enabled the Brooklyn
to prevent the escape OF the Colon. II not
other Of the Spanish ships, is ignored by
the President in this connection, though
the fact unavodably appears,in the fur
ther discussion Of the battle.
The President approves the "unani-
nous" finding of the court, with com
ment that it should have specifically
condemned the failure to enforce an eitec-
tive night blockade at Santiago while
Admiral Schley was in command.
NoTsUPrORTED BY THE EyDENcE.
No evidence in support of this as
sumption of ineifciency Of blockade at
night while Admiral Schey was in COM
mand is cited by the President. II he
were IA familiar with the testimony as
reading it should have made him he
should know that the charge OF ineilicieD
cy of blockade at night was distinctly
and specifically disproved and was aban-
doned by theprosecution.
Another reference made by the Presi-
dent * one that even the hostile members
oi the courtd did notappear to haveiound
warrant for This il the expression IRE
ierring to Schley) His disobedience OF
orders and misstatement Of fact in rela-
tion thereto"
The basis for this comment must have
come from a source of comment availed
OF by the President rather than from tes-
timony taken by the court. or even the
Statements" of captains quoted in the
opinion.
Az EXTRAORDINARY SUGGESTION.
The suggestion il made that had the
Brooklyn turned in. instead of turning
out, in making the "loop," she might
have destroyed the Spanish ships at the
mouth of the harbor. This ignores the
fact that the other shipsdid make direct
ly for the mouth OF the harbor, yet did
not destroy the Spanish ships; while the
Brooklyn, after making the loop" did
actually destroy these ships when they
had distanced the rest OF the American
fleet except the Oregon.
CONFLICTS WITH THE TESTIMONY.
The Spaniards are spoken OF as having
been already disabled when the Brooklyn
and the Oregon drove them ashore; but
this does not appear in any testimony
that has been made public.
Perhaps the most extraordinary thing
about the opinion, aside from it's inabil-
ity to hang together, is the cheap at
tempt to drag in the name OF President
Mckinley and make it appear that
Admiral Schley's appeal was not from
the Court OF Inquiry 10 the President,
but from the dead President to his sue
cessOr
