FINDS AGAINST SCHLEY.
President Roosevelt Reviews the
Battle of Santiago and Decides
That Sampson Was in Command.

Washington, Feb. 2o.-President
Roosevelt has made public his deci-
sion on the appeal of Rear Admiral
Schley against the findings of the
court of inquiry. The decision is adj
verse to Admiral Schley in every i'm
portant particular.
The President holds that while
Simpsons command was technical
and nominal" Commodore Schley did
not assume command, and the COM
mand was in no way passed to him
by reason of SIMPSONS distance from
the scene of the actual fighting.
Therefore Sampson must stand in
history as the responsible command
er.
President Roosevelt sustains the
verdict of the court of inquiry, which
he declares was unanimous in it's find

ings on all important points. This
leaves the censure unanimously
passed by the court standing of full
force upon the records.
President Roosevelt finds that Rear
Admiral Schley was actually in COM
mand of the Brooklyn and as such
was entitled to the credit of the brill
liant work of that ship. The pres
ident asserts, however, that the loop
was terrible blunder, for which
Rear Admiral Schley was responsible,
and the president hints that it was
the result of timidity. He finds that
President Mckinley was fully justi-
fed in his actions, because, while
neither Sampson nor Schley was en-
titled to special credit for the bat
tie, Sampson was entitled to re-
ward because of the success of his
blockade and the hard work he had
done as commander in chief.
President Roosevelt expresses the
opinion that Lieut.. Wainwright, of
the Gloucester, and Capt. Clark, OF
the Oregon, were entitled to special
promotion. In view of the fact that
both Sampson and Schley are on the
retired list, the president expresses
the hearty wish that the entire mat
ter be allowed to drop.

Evans, the special representative Of
President Roosevelt, boarded the
Kronprinz Wilhelm and offered the
nations welcome. Then the navy,
army and city of New York repre-
sentatives did likewise for their re-
spective constituents. Prince Henry
landed and went aboard the kaiser's
imperial yacht, the Hohenzollern.
Receives Callers.
The first of his callers to arrive after
he had boarded the Hohenzollern was
Gen. Brooke, United States army, ac-
companied by two aids. Admiral
Barker and his aid, Capt. West, repre-
senting the United States navy, fol-
lowed. and then came the German am
bassador at Washington and his brill
liantly attired suite of military and
naval attaches and secretaries, and
the military attache Of the German
embassy at Mexico, Lieut.. Bartels.
Following the German ambassador
came the special representatives of the
president of the United States, headed
bv DR.. Hill, first assistant secretary
of state, and including Gen. Corbin,
Col Bingham and Commander Cowles,
the brother-in-law of the president.
About an hour was spent by the
prince in receiving his callers and in
making an admiral's inspection of the
troops and crew of the Hohenzollern.
Then followed lunch. The prince in
yited to this luncheon those of the
Americans among his callers who rep
resented the navy, and besides these
there were at the board the members
of the princes suite and members of
the German embassy at Washington.
Returns Official Visits.
The luncheon, which was informal,
was finished about three o'clock, and
then the prince announced to his
guests that he would repay at once
all his official visits. He told Admiral
Evans he would be glad to see the
latest built battleship of the Ameri-
can navy. The prince boarded the tug
Nina at $50 to repay his calls. He
was accompanied by one aid and Adj
mira1 Evans and Ensigns Evans and
Chaplin. He visited the navy yard
first, called on Admiral Barker, and
then Governors Island, when he called
on Gen. Brooke. From Governors Is
land the tug proceeded to the battle
ship Illinois, where he called on Adj
mira1 Evans and inspected the ship.
He was received by the squadron with
the honors due to his rank. From the
Illinois the prince returned to the
pier at Thirty-fourth street and went
on board the Hohenzollern for din
ner.
