WASHINGTON, -. c., Fob. 90
The president last night made pub
lie the statement OF his review OF
the Schley- Sampson controversy and
shows an evident wish 10 have tho

In one clause the president says he

ton from port 10 port He intlm-
ates his belief that Schley should
not be censured on this score. A
particularly strong point made in
sohley's conduct Is that IN which the
president says II schley had been
proved, five weeks before the battle
to be a dilatory and dlsobedient Of
