London, Jan. 29,-The coronation al

(a) The question has never been considered
and determined by body of competent juris-
diction having before it all the facts and all
the parties interested.
(b) That doubt existing as to who was
actually in command at the battle of Santi-
ago, there arose in the navy of the United
States, and among the people at large, con-
troversy over this point, which controversy,
without being instigated, fostered or counte-
nanced by your petitioner, has waged for
more than three years, to the great detrment
Of the good Of the service and to the hurt Of
those most concerned in the said question.
Co That in the course of the said contro-
versy your petitioner was made the object Of
most unjust accusations, affecting his per-
sonal and public character, which accusations
were inspired by those who sought to sestab-
lish the fact that he did not command at the
said battle, and that owing to said accusations
he has suffered much injury.
Cd That the said controversy brought about
a condition which resulted in all those per-
sons present and participating in said battle
being denied the rewards which a generous
country is disposed to grant those who serve
it we'll in war.
(e) That the said controversy can only be
terminated and justice done to those to whom
justice is due upon the rendition bv body
of competent jurisdiction, having before it
all the facts and parties concerned. of the
decision upon this question, which decision
shall be final and conclusive.
(f) That such a decision will result in the
betterment of the service, by closing a de-
plorable controversy, which now divides the
| service into hostile factions; that further,
