! Sampson, he ought not now to be held
responsible for that, because it all had
been condoned by the navy department
itself.
Slap at Long.
The president takes the ground
that Schley's actions before the arrival
of Sampson should either have been
punished by removing him from COM
mand or should have been overlooked
entirely. He dismisses this whole sub
ject on the theory that Secretary
Longs failure to relieve Schley of his
command settled that branch of the
question forever. The president says
in SO many words that the retrograde
movement, even if it was serious err
ror of judgment, had no evil conse-
quences, and could not be raked up
fairly to tarnish the glory of bril-
liant action.
Having thus swept away all of the
after into which the court of inquiry
went so laboriously, the president in
his summary of the case attacks the
situation during the ba tile of Santiago
as being the only real point at issue.
He finds in so many words that Schley
was not only not in command during
the battle of Santiago, but that he him
self never made any such claim until
recently.
San,nscn Technically in Command.
The presidents decision is that
Sampson was technically in command,
and that he was no less the commander
in chief because he happened to be be-
low the horizon, unless when he went
away he had formally turned over the
command to subordinate, and in that
case he would have been entitled to
commend either Schley or somebody
else. The president finds that the bat
tie of Santiago was fought by the cap
tains of the different ships on the gen.
eral lines laid down by Sampson. His
decision is that in no case did any one
of the ships of the fleet act under any
general or specific signals from Schley
any more than of Sampson.
Blamed for the Loop.
Mr.. Roosevelt f1nds that Schley was
to blame for the loop and intimates
that the commodore was guilty of
serious tactical blunder which might
have been taken advantage of by an
alert enemy with disastrous results.
1t is decided that there was no danger
of the Brooklyn being rammed, but
as in the case of the retrograde move
ment, that the loop had no bad re-
suits and hence could be overlooked
easily, in view of the glorious outcome
of the battle.
Finally, the president decides that
Schley was entitled to abundant credit
for his personal bravery, his GOODNESS
and his general professional conduct
under fire. He lays great stress upon
the fact that in this regard Schley was
not entitled to any greater credit than
had been earned by practically all the
officers and men who participated in
that splendid action.
Taken as a whole, the impression
made upon the leaders called into con-
ference undoubtedly was that the pres
ident's summary of the case was dis
tinctly unfavorable to Schley, and that
to that extent it would be disappoint.

THE DICTATES OF FASHION

Position backs are shorter than dur
ing the fall.
Lace is lavishly employed, guipure
and alencon being the designs most
favored.
The pompadour has returned to IA
vor again, but this time with Greek
knot on the nape of the neck.
Linen-colored sll-over embroidered
waists are to be worn extensively.
Tucking and shirring is used freely ON
the plain materials.
Pretty new white mousseline scarfs
have the ends embroidered in point
alternating with colored mousseline
mowers heading plating of nous
seine.
"A pretty neck ruche for evening is
mace of stripes of lace insertion alter
mating with a gauze ribbon in Persian
colorings. A deep frill of lace to match
the insertion finishes the long ends,
which reach to the skirt hem.
Nearly all the new designs in wash
and sheer goods are on the counters,
and some of them are beautiful. In
wash lawns, dimities, batistes and all
overs the designs are far too handsome
for the tub. All are guaranteed to
wash, however. More beautiful than
these materials is the embroidered ba-
tiste for gowns and trimmings.
Biscuit-colored and pastel-lined
gloves are to be stylish for spring.
They come in soft suede, with two
buttons for general wear, or many
buttons for evening. White gloves are
losing favor and very fine ones can be
obtained for little. So it is predicted
that delicate tints are to take their
place. A handsome golden tan is ad-
vanced for evening.
White shirt waists are to be stylish
next summer, and nothing seems to be
too fine material for them. Some of
the all-over embroidered and lace eff
fects make up very handsomely.
Waists as rule are made with few
gathers at the waistline, back and
front. Bishop sleeves with pointed
cuffs are worn. White piques, madras,
linens and ducks, both plain and fig
ured in self colors, are shown.

PRESIDENTS DECISION
IN SCHhEY CASE.


Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE Tribune's
Washington special says: Upon the
special invitation of President Roose-
welt an important conference was held
Saturday morning at the white house
to the exclusion of all ether business
for a considerable lergth OF time.
The greater part Of the time was de-
voted to resume by the president Ct
the opinions he has reached in the
Schley case. His decision, which will
be made public some time during the
week, is decidedly unfavorabIe to
Rear Admiral Schley, and for this rea-
son the president decided to ask the
opinion of the leaders in both branch
es of congress as to the probable po-
litical effect.
The president therefore called upon
Senator's Allison, of Iowa; Aldrich, of
Rhode Island, and Spooner, of Wiscon-
sin, with Representatives Grosvenor,
of Ohio, and Cannon of Illinois, and
the speaker of the house, Mr.. Hender-
son, of Iowa. They spen5 more than
an hour listening to the president ex-
plain his view IF the cohley case as
presented to him by the last appeal
by the rear admiral.
VIII Be Disappointing.
The result of the conference was
the expression of opinion hat the
formal decision of the president would
at first be greatly disappointing
to the great mass of the people
who have accustomed themselves to
regard Rear Admiral Schley as their
peculiar hero. The opinion was ex-
pressed, however, that in the long run
the people would adopt the decision
rendered by the president, and that
after the first symptoms of popular
disapproval had subsidized the political
effect would not be serious.
After the conference was over each
of those who participated maintained
an obstinate silence, declaring that
the matter under discussion was per-
sonal to the president and could not
be discussed without his consent.
Later successful attempt was made
to secure an outline of the decision as
read at the conference. The president
makes no concealment OF his opin-
ions in the Schley case.
Was Not in Commend.
In the decision as outlined he says
in so many words that Rear Admiral
Schley fought bravely during the battle
of Santiago, but that he was no drawer
than all the other officers and men and
is not entitled to special credit, because
he was not in command and did not di-
rect the movements of any OF the other
ships which participated in the battle.
AS regards the things which the
court of inquiry went into most partic-
ularly, the president gives the court,
and more particularly Secretary Long,
deft backhanded slap. The president
declares that the trip from Key West
to Cienfuegos and from there to San
tiago, including the famous retro
grade movement, had no possible effect
upon the battle of Santiago.
Going at the question from judicial
point of view, he decides that even if
Schley should have been blamed be-
cause of his vacillating conduct during
the time when he was in independent
command and before the arrival of

he has asked the bishop to place SUBJ

that he has sustained improper rela-

Mr.. Andrews denies. He admits that
he has mingled with notorious women,
