Story Of the Storm In which zoo
Japanese Soldiers Were

Yokohama, Feb. "details of the

who were frozen to death, have been

rifle butts, but many of them were
frozen to death. The II survivors then
camped and in small parties endeav-

corporal, however, succeeded in escap-
ing from the mountains, and he was
picked up by a relief party. 1t is
feared that all the other members of
the expedition are dead.

REPLY OF nEMhY AND HANNA.

elapsed since the occurrence of the
events of the Santiago campaign"
The commentators charge that Ad-
miral Schley now ignores all these
grave matters, and bases his appeal
upon unimportant features of the case
as compared with the grave matters
referred to, upon which there was not,
and in the face Of the testimony, could
not have been any difference Of opin-
ion in the court"
The commentators say they recog-
nize that Admiral Schley devoted by far
the larger part of his appeal to the
question of command, and consequently
give that question proportionate
space in their comment. They declare
the question is between Sampson and
Schley, both alike interested, and to
investigate it fairly both should be
heard. Such incidental testimony on
this point as came before the court
was on Schley's side only, and the doors
were entirely closed to Sampson.
The comment" closes in the follow
ing words: "The contention that the
magnificent work of the Oregon, or
any part of it, was done under orders
from the Brooklyn, or that the Oregon
received and obeyed even single or
der from Commodore Schley from the
time the Spanish ships were sighted
to the time of the surrender of the
Colon, which surrender may fairly be
taken as the close of the battle, must
be abandoned, and with it goes the last
peg upon which to hang the pretense
of n claim that during the battle of
Santiago Commodore Schley effective
~ exercised any of the functions of
commander in chief.
"The plain truth of the matter, de-
veloped for the first time under the
searchlight of this inquiry, although
quite incidentally, is that SO far as the
Gloucester, the Iowa, the Indiana, the
Texas and the Oregon are concerned,
not the stroke of a propeller blade, not
the touch of helm, not the firing of
shot, was done under the direction or
by the orders of Admiral Schley during
this memorable battle"

SCHnEY'S HppEHn
Is MADE PUBLIC.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The navy de-
partment has made public Admiral
Schley's appeal, delivered to the pres
ident about week ago.
Admiral Schley appeals to the pres
ident as the chief executive and COM
mander-in-chief of the army and
navy, vested with power to regu-
late and direct the acts of the several
executive officers thereof" and he
asks that the president review the
findings of the court. He asks this on
three grounds, in each case basing his
appeal on the findings of Admiral
Dewey. as opposed to the majority re-
port.
These three grounds are set out
compendiously in the petition"
which fills about eight printed pages
of a pamphlet and is signed by Ad-
miral Schley, and by Messrs. Rayner.
Parker and league, of his counsel.
Attached to the petition are three ex-
hibits, "a" "B" and &C." each made
up of copious extracts from the tes-
timony taken by the court of inquiry
and intended to confirm the state
nent of fact made in the petition it.
self.
In this latter document the first
ground of appeal is the holding of
Secretary,Long in his Endorsement on
the courts findings that "the con-
duct of the court in making no find
ings, and rendering no opinion on
those questions Chat of command
and of credit for victory is approved
indeed, it could, with propriety,
take no other course, evidence on
these questions during the inquiry
having been excluded by the court"
On this point the petition says that
the secretary of the navy was in err
ror in stating that the court excluded
testimony to show that, as Dewey
said, Schley was the senior officer in
the battle of Santiago; was in abso-
lutte commando; and entitled to the
credit due for the glorious victory
which resulted in the total destruc-
ton of the Spanish ships.
Therefore the petitioner asks the
president to annul Secretary Longs
Endorsement on this point, and that
he specifically approve Admiral Dew
ey's statement declaring that Schley

Washington. Jan. 31.-The "com-
ment" of Judge Advocate Lemly and
Solicitor Hanna upon the appeal of
Admiral Schley to President Roose-
welt was made public Thursday. 1t
begins with the statement that Ad-
miral Schley and his counsel have
shifted their ground. They say the
chief features of the case were "the
retrograde movement" "disobedience
of orders" inaccurate and mislead-
ing official reports" failure to de-
stroy vessels of the enemy, lying
within sight" and injustice to
brother officer"
These matters, il is stated, are all
grave. The first was that the finest
aggregation of American naval ves-
sells under one command was, by
Schley's direction, turned about and
headed for Key West, more than 700
miles distant, when within % miles
of Santiago, where the enemy's ships
were. The second was that Schley
deliberately and knowingly" DISC
beyed the secretary's order overtak-
ing him in his retrograde movement.
The third was that Schley's reasons,
officially given for the retrograde
movement and disobedience of orders,
i. e., that the flying squadron was
short of COAL" was not true. The
fourth was that for three days some
of the Spanish ships lay within reach
of the flying squadron, and no suffi-
cient effort was made to destroy
them. The fifth involves point of
honor.
upon all the above-named features,
believed by Is to be the most impor-
tant, If not the only really important
matters, into which the court made in
quiry, the conduct of Admiral Schley
was condemned by that most distin-
guished tribunal" say the common
tators. admiral Dewey and Rear i'd
mirals Benham and Ramsay united in
their findings and opinions upon all of
these several points, and they united
also in the significant recommendation
that no further proceedings be had, Sin
view of the length of time which has

was in command. He says that only
in this way can exact justice be done
him under the precept.
The second ground relates to the
alleged withdrawal of the squadron
Mt night from Santiago bay and the
character of the blockade, and the
2ropriety of Commodore Schley's con-
duct in the premises. This was enc OF
the points upon which Admiral Dew
ey specifically dissented.
The third ground recites Admiral
Dewey's opinion to the effect that:
The passage from Key West to Glen
fuegos was made by the flying squad
ron with all possible dispatch, having
in view the Importance of arriving of
Cienfuegos with sufficient coal; that
the blockade of Cienfuegos was eff
fective; that the Adula was permitted
to gain information; and finally. that
the passage from Cienfuegos to q
point of Santiago was made with as
much dispatch as possible, while keep
ing the squadron unit. The petition
declares that this opinion, being at
variance in certain points with the
majority opinion, Is the only one JUS
tifiable by the evidence and facts be-
fore the court, and it is asked that
the secretary's approval of the ma
pority's finding be SCI aside and am
nulled in each instance where 1t is at
variance with Admiral Dewey's opin-
ion, and that the latter's opinion
should be approved for the reasons
heretofore set out in the bill of cx-
ceptions filed with the secretary of
the navy. 1t is also asked that the
president annul that portion of Sec
rotary Longs Endorsement which
states "as to points on which the pre-
siding member differs from the opin-
ion of the majority of the court the
opinion of the majority is approved"
and that in place he substitute and
approve the declaration of Admiral
Dewey on these points above referred
to, connected with the passage from
Key West to Cienfuegos and thence
to Santiago. The petition concludes:
"And your petitioner most respectfully
states that only by the action for which
he prays In this relation can exact justice
be done him within the contemplation Of
the precept under which the said court sat
and whence II derived its authority.
IAN of which is most respectfully sub
mitted."

Chicago, Feb. Judge Tuley, in .
decision rendered Friday, appointed
Elmer Washburne receiver for the
Dowie lace industries and ruled
against the shrewd faith healer In al
most every contention raised in the
suit brought by his brother-in-law,
Samuel Stevenson. The chancellor held
that the agreement entered into by
Dowie and Stevenson on the night of
August 4, 1900, wherein Dowie gained
control of the Englishman's property,
was void on the ground Of undue infiu-
ence, and that the contract of April IL,
1900, claimed by Stevenson to be the
true agreement, was valid instru-
ment.
Dowie was also ordered by the
court to give to Stevenson certifi-
cate of fully paid stock in the lace
corporation to the amount OF $780,
900. The sole point in which Dowie's
contentious were sustained was that
Stevenson could not recover $4,000
given by him to his wife, Dowie's
sister, unless he brought the action
in his capacity rs the executor of
the estate.
The court denounced the business
and religious methods of Dowie and
declared him guilty of questionable
methods in his dealings with Steven
son. The decision deals with practi-
cally every phase of Zion, and in every
important point Dowie's methods are
found to be tainted with fraud" His
claim to being an agent of the AL
mighty is scored, and his financial
schemes are declared to be founded
