and investigations, viz: By President
Mckinley, by the United States court
of claims by the naval court of In
quiry asked for by Admiral Schley,
and by President Roosevelt on appeal
from the finding Of the naval court OF
inquiry.

finding in the following words: In con-
cluding their report the members OF
the court of inquiry united in stating
that they recommended that no furth-
err action be had in the matter. With
this recommendation, I most heartily
concur. To Keep 1t alive would merely
do damage to the navy and to the
country
Your subcommittee, having In view
the interest Of the American navy and
all concerned, fully concurs in, the con-
clusions expressed in the words OF
President Roosevelt, above quoted.
I'VE, therefore, recommend that fur

resolutions be indefinitely postponed,
and no further action be taken there
