Admiral Schley's Story.

Admiral Winfield Scott Schley has
at last told the story of the naval bat
tie Of Santiago in his own words. The
Saturday Evening Post publishes the
admirars personal account of the
great battle which so thrilled the ma
ton at the time and yet brought with
it such a wake of bitter controversy
and i'll feeling.
Perhaps, now that Sampson is dead,
it would have been in better taste for
Admiral schley to have withheld his
account Of the battle for his own pos
Infamous memoirs. The Sampson fac
ton will say that it would have been
more becoming the admiral to main
tain silence, since the leader of the
other side can make no reply. But
however that may be, Admiral Schley
has we'll told the story of the great
sea fight as he saw it. His own per-
sonal part in the battle is told mod
estly enough, but he firmly maintains
that he was in command of the squad
ron. He states his case most con-
vincingly on this point. Friends of
Admiral Schley have always said that
If the battle Of Santiago had resulted
in defeat for the Americans, there
would have been no dispute as to who
was In command. There would have
been no argument to the effect that
Sampson, tho absent was yet pres
ent, or that the battle was simply a
captains battle. Everybody would
have agreed that Schley was in COM
mand, and the brave admiral would
not have sought to escape RESPONSE
bility by maintaining that he was
without authority.
Regarding the famous loop" Adj
account Of the position the Brooklyn
occupied when the Spanish fleet began
to issue, the turn to starboard instead
of to port was the one thing FOR the
Brooklyn to do. With the New York
away she was the one ship in the
American squadron supposed to be
fast enough to race with the Spanish
cruisers. She had to be maneuvered
so IS to get into the race. TO quote
Admiral Schley:
The Brooklyn was steering a course
the Spanish fleet, and it was apparent
that the original plan, to rush in upon the
enemy as his squadron was emerging from
the channel, and sink it, had failed. The
Spanish squadron had practically broker
thru and passed the battleship line, there
by creating a new situation in the hgh
and one that had to be met at once tt
prevent it's escape. A new disposition
therefore. had to be made instantly in or:
der to meet the new condition after the
failure of the first plan. Cook. under hi
general instructions had perceived thu
situation, and gave the order, "Hart
a-port! anticipating by few seconds {
similar order by the commander of thu
second squadron. Flag Lieutenant Scar
was ordered to hoist signal, Follow thu
flag" which Clark saw, obeyed and re
peated. s.
Perhaps Admiral Schley might have
said less about the end of the figh
and the arrival of Sampson than h,
does, but he evidently thinks he has
suffered enough abuse to Justify {
plain statement. 1t is evident tina

GOT HIS HISTORY WRONG

When Senator Bacon some time ago In
the United States senate assailed the
character Of Frederick the Great in dis
cussing the acceptance from Emperor Will
liam of his great ancestors statue, SEN
ator Stewart of Nevada replied with
warmth. He told of personally visiting
the place in Holland where Frederick had
labored AS a shipwright, fitting himself to
command by learning to obey. He grew
really eloquent and neatly demolished Mr..
Bacon. But later in the day he was Wild
ly rushing round to make it right with the
reporters. He had discovered that he had
been making a speech about Peter the
Great instead Of Frederick the Great"

LIFE OF A L LOCOMOTIVE

The life of an express locomotive in
England Is estimated at twenty-five years;
that of a freight locomotive at twenty-six
years, that Of an ordinary passenger en-
CINE at twenty-fiv years, and that of q
switch engine at twenty seven. In the
United States the life of an express loco
motive is eighteen years, Of a freight en-
CINE sixteen years, of a passenger engine
nineteen years, and of switch engine
twenty two years. In eighteen years, how
ever, the American machine has run
100000 niles-double the average travel
Of an English locomotive.

Congress and Hawaii.

The condition Of the Hawaiian
islands under American rule is not
what it ought to be, and it is strange
that congress cannot be made to see
the pressing need for such legislation
as will draw the islanders closer to
us in sympathy and habits of thought
and at the same time pave the way to
a return Of commercial and industrial
prosperity. Governor Carter, recent
ly landed from Honolulu, draws wo-
full picture of conditions there, the
direct effect Of the failure of congress
to take a proper interest in the
islands. Annexation has not been a
commercial success, the governor
says, because the laws enacted for the
islands are not adapted to their needs.
These laws have cut off all internal
| revenues. The land laws of the
United States, which have been ex-
tended to Hawaii, prevent the leasing
of public land for longer periods than
| five years, and as land cannot be
taken there for so short a period, ow-
ing to the time required for raising
staple crops, agriculture is anguish
ing. With no revenues, with agricul-
| ture at a standstill, and with hard
times in consequence pressing hard,
it is not strange that the Hawaiians
do not regard American control as
entirely benefcent. Just a little of
the time and attention that is being
given the Philippines would make the
Hawaiians the happiest and most 10y
al people in all our island possessions,
and congress should be made to un-
derstand that it has no more impor-
tant duty than to give, these people
as good industrial and commercial op-
portunities as all people living under
the flag should have. 1t is a small
duty as compared with some of the
others that congress is called upon
to discharge, and that may be why
it is overlooked year after year. But
it is important and pressing.
