MANFUllY AND WELL

But after loop had once been taken
Admiral Schley handled the BROOKLYN

American vessels-though the Iowa GER

as much inhammering TO a standstill the
Viscsya, Oquendo and Teresa; while the
Indiana did all her eastward position and
crippled machinery permitted. In the
chase of the Colon the Brooklyn and
Oregon share the credit between them.
Under such circumstances II seems to
me that the recommendations OF Presi-
dent Mckinley were emnently proper
and that so far as Admirals Sampson and
Schley were concerned. it would have
been unjust for him TO have made other
recommendations. Personally / feel that
