DECISION AGAINST SCHLEY
President Dismisses His Appeal From
Findings Of Court Of Inquiry.
SANTIAGO A CAPTAINS BATTLE
President Roosevelt Says Neither Samp.
aon Nor schiey Directed tho Fight. Al.
though tho Former Was Technically
In Command-Ho Condemns the Loop
and tho Reti ograde Movement.

Washington. D. C.-President toosc
velt has decided that Rear-Admirnl
Schlcy was not In command OF the
American feet at the battle OF San
tiaso. In his decision on the Schley
appeal he says SIMPSONS blockade
foresight and directions made possible
the victory. but declares that the ques
tlon OF which was in command is mere
IL of nominal character. Technically
he says. Sampson was in command OF
the feet. and Schley. as usual. OF the
western division.
The important fact. the President
declares, Is that after the battle was
Joined not helm was shifted. not a
gun was fired. not a pound of steam
was put on in the engine room aboard
any ship actively engaged. in obedience
to the order Of either Sampson or
Schley. save on their own vessels. II
was n captains fight"
As to the loop. the President says !,
was ''in fact the one grave mistake
made by any American ship that day
Admiral Schley. he asserts. Is entitled
to the credit Of what the Brooklyn did
that day. but says he agrees with the
"uranimous" finding OF the court and
condemns the loop. declaring that II
the Brooklyn was placed In greater
LANCER by continuing her course so also
was the Spanish fleet. and "tliis kind
OF danger" the President says. must
not be too closely weighed by those
whose trade It IL to dare greatly foI
the honor Of the flag"
While the Brooklyn and the Oregon
are given credit for the destruction OF
the Colon. the President finds that the
Iowa certainly. and the Texas. seem
insly. did as much In 'hammering" tC
n standstill the Viscaya. Oqurndo and
Teresa. And In this connection. after
an analysis OF the action. the President
asserts that Of the forty large-calihrt
shots which struck the three Spanish
fighting ships. eleven certainly came
from the Iowa"
or Schley's movements previous to
the battle. the President says he erred
In the retrOgrade movement. and "h!S
disobedience Of orders and missta.a
ments OF facts" hut thar II seems II
Schley's actions were cenSurable they
have been condoned. but he should
not have been left second in command
by Sampson.
The decision. Mr.. Roosevelt SAYS. Is
based on a careful perusal OF all the
evidence before the court. and upon
statements made by captains In the
fight. most OF whom say they cOnsid
red Sampson present and in command
and two of whom say they would have
taken no orders from Schley.
AS to the justice or injustice done by
President Mckinley in recommending
Sampson for advance over Schley. the
President expresses the opinion tina,
nothing but justice was done. but goes
on to say thai Captain Clark should
have been rewarded 10 as great IN eX
tent as Wainwright. who. he says. Is
entitled 10 greater reward than any
other. and concludes this paragraph by
saying that neither Sampson noi
Schley did anything In hattle which
warranted any unusual reward fof
