Asks Appeal on Findings of Ad-
miral Dewey.
USES PART OF COURTS DECISION
Another Chapter in the Struggle of the
Hero of Santiago to Obtain Recogni-
ton for His Part in the Historic
Battle.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 29.-The
navy department has made public Adj
miral Schley's appeal, delivered to the
President about week ago. The de-.
partments comment" will be publish
ed in a day or two.
Admiral Schley appeals to the Pres
ident as the chief executive and COM
mander-in-chief of the army and navy,
''yested with power to regulate and d.
rect 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,
findings of Admiral Dewey, as opposed
to the majority report. These three
grounds are set out compendiously in
the petition" which fills about eight
printed pages of pamphlet and is
signed by Admiral Schley, and by
Messrs. Rayner, Parker and league of
his counsel. Attached to the petition
are three exhibits, ga" 3D." and &C."
each made up of copious extracts from
the testimony taken by the court of in
quiry and intended to confirm the
statements of fact made in the petit
ton itself.
Attack Longs Holding.
In this latter document the firsi
ground of appeal is the holding OF Sec
rotary Long in his endorsement on the
courts findings that "the conduct o.
the court in making no finding, ant
rendering no opinion on those Ques
lions Chat of command and of credit
for the victory )is approved-irdeet
it could, with propriety, take no othel
course, evidence on these questions
during the inquiry having been exclud
ed by the court" On this point thu
petition says that the secretary Of thu
navy was in error in stating that thu
court excluded testimony to show that
as Dewey said. Schley was the senio
officer in the battle of Santiago; wal
in absolute command; and entitled t,
the credit due for the glorious victor.
which resulted in the total destruction
of the Spanish ships. On this pon
the petition says:
Shows Error.
And your petitioner, the applicant

relates to the question as to who wa
in command at the battle of Santiago
in support of his plea that the presto

within his authority and jurisdictio
in reporting his opinion as herein b.
fore set forth. and that the majorit
members of the said court failed i

ty devolving upon them under the pr

Question of Command.

AS to the general obligation on the
court to determine the question OF
command, the counsel declares that
they should have done SO because:
''The question has never been con-
sidered and determined by body of
competent Jurisdiction having before
it all the facts and all the parties in
| terested.
(b) That a doubt existing as to
who was actually in command at the
battle of Santiago, there arose in the
navy of the United States, and among
the people at large, a controversy over
this point, which controversy, without
being instigated, fostered, or counter
anced by your petitioner, has waged
for more than three years to the great
detriment of the good of the service
and to the hurt of those most con-
cerned in the said question.
(c) That in the course of the said
controversy your petitioner was made
the object of most unjust accusations
affecting his personal and public char
acter, which accusations were inspir
ed by those who sought to establish
the fact that he did not command al
the said battle, and that owing tt
said accusations he has suffered mucl

FLOWERS FREE AT
GARDENS FOR YOU
GO OUT WEDNESDAY AND WHAR-
TON WILL GIVE YOU ALL YOU
CAN LUG IN A BASKET.

Manager J. r. Wharton OF the street
railway and Columbia Gardens, announced
this morning that on Wednesday next he
would throw the gardens open to the pub
lie and give the flowers away.
This is done each year just before the
cold weather sets in. There are lots
of the choicest flowers out at the gar
dens and the public is not slow to ac-
cept the chance of carrying them away.
Il am only going to make one restrt-
tion this year." said Mr.. Wharton, "and
that is the people will not be allowed
to come for the flowers with wagons and
sacks. Each person who wants flowers
will be allowed to have as many as one
person can carry either in the arms or
in small baskets.
Last year they drove big wagons out
and few carried away flowers enough
to stock multitude do not object
to pulling the flowers up by the roots for
we have already put away all that we wish
to save at the gardens"

bedbugs made such noise in escaping
that the pedestrians passing through the

telegraph poles to avoid being crushed in
