President Finds Against Ad-
miral Schley.
LOOP WAS BAD BLUNDER
Sampson Was to Blame for Leaving
schley in command-Schley's Mis-.
take Condoned by the Secretary of
the Navy-Hirts at Timidity.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 20.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt made public last night
his decision on the appeal of Rear Ad-
miral Schley against the findings of
the court of inquiry
President Roosevelt finds that Rear
Admiral Schley was to blame for the
lretrograde movement. The President
also finds, however, that Admiral
Sampson was to blame for leaving
Schley in command after such '.repre-
lhensible conduct
The President in substance declares
that although the retrograde move
ment was serious blunder it was en-
tirely condoned by the secretary of the
navy and Admiral Sampson, and in
any event had no bearing whatever
upon the battle of Santiago.
Calls 1t Captains Battle.
AS regards that memorable fight
the President declares that it was a
captains battle. and that neither
Sampson nor Schley was entitled to
any special credit because neither Of
them exercised any actual command
of the whole fleet.
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 brilliant
work of that ship. The President as
serts, however, that the loop was a
terrible blunder, for which Rear Adj
miral Schley was reSDOnSible and the
President hints that 1t was the result OF
timidity. He finds that President Nc
Kinley was fully justified in his ac-
tions because. while neither Sampson
nor Schley was entitled to special
credit for the battle. Sampson was en-
5titlad to q reward because of of the
success of his blockade and the hard
I work he had done as commandef@in,

and the young man was nurt but little.
The train crew made search for
them as soon as the train could be
stopped but could find no trace of

that the girl grasped the hand of the
young man and led him to house a

brought on to Abba and DR.. Eshbaugh
was sent out to attend to the injuries

merger and Mr.. Knox has recently
given him one to the effect that in his
Judgment it violates the provisions of
the Sherman act of 1890; whereupon
the President directed that suitable
action should be taken to have the
question judiciously determined.
