Cuban coast he had disobeyed orders
OF the Navy Department. This was
not the first time that Schley in his
military career had found it neces-
sary to dlsobey the orders of his SUI
perlor officers. During the Civil War
at the siege of Port Hudson, when he
was in charge of the Monongahela
the signal was raised upon Farragut's
vessel to retreat The quartermaster
reported to Schley that it was impos
slDle for him to see the signals. The
order had been previously given to
storm the battery. This was >the sig
nal that Schley saw, and instead of
retreating he leveled his guns against
the Notifications. He was reprimand-
ed by Farragut, but afterwards the
admiral called him into his private
caoln and congratulated him.
The time has passed when secre-
tarles of war or secretaries of the
navy, who have never perhaps OBJ
served any military tactics except 4
dress parade and who could hardly
tell the difference between a revenue
cutter and a battleship, can fight bat
Ties with lead pencils and rulers and
India rubber thousands ON files away
from home.
And now all of these transactions
are closed and Schley is gone. He
delivered his country as great VIC
tory as she ever gained upon the sea
ana she accepted it with gratitude.
The greatest struggle he ever passed
through was not amid the shot and
shell at Santiago; it was when the
shafts of malice and hatred were

The Senate agreed to $3.50 month
pension for Mrs. Schley after it had
first rejected by AZ to 10 an amend
ment proposed by the Pension Com
mittee to cut the amount to $50 2
month. 1t was stated during the de-
bate that Mrs. Schley's present in
come was about $420 a year. Senator
McCumber, chairman of the Commit
tee on Pensions, who had reported the
bill for $50 instead of $3.50 as intro
duced by Mr.. Rayner, objected to the
increase ITO give Mrs Schley $3.50

TRIBUTE TO

PAID BY SENATOR RAINIER
Asked Large Pension For His

make this point clear in a speech ac-
companying an amendment which he
onered to the pension appropriation
hill so as to provide a pension of $3.50
q month, instead of $50 a month. to
the widow of Admiral Schley.
Senator Rayner said that the gov
eminent is now paying nearly $500
100000 year in pensions. He said
that Admiral Schleys widow was in
dire need of the pension and lacked
. even the means for erecting a suit
able memorial at the admirals grave.
Mr.. Rayner eXcoriated critics of Ad-
mlral Schley, saying that a critic
generally is a person without reputa-
ton who expects to rise in public es-
timation upon the ruins of those whom
he attempts to humiliate. He said
that Admiral Schley was universally
ldolized and challenged the admiraIs
enemies to a single instance where he
ever Wavered when duty summoned
him. Senator Rayner said Schley
was surrounded at Santiago by a
band of heroic captains Referring 20
the Brooklyn loop as saving the day
at Santiago, he said:
Then came the Viscaya, and sha
made desperate turn toward the
Brooklyn and the Oregon that were
pursuing her, but as she did this she
was struck by a shell from one of the
vessels, and, hauling her colors down,
she was beached at Acerraderos. The
Colon, the last of the ships, was then
making toward the Torquino river.
Schley singnaled the Oregon, under
the command of Clark, to try his 49,
inch guns upon her, and with the
combined fire of the Brooklyn and the
Oregon uDon the ship, and with no
possible chance of escape, and with
her human cargo doomed to certain
death if the fighting continued, her
commander ran his ship ashore at the
mouth of the Torquino river, fired
his leeward gun, lowered his flag, and
the colors of Spain went down before
the colors of the Union upon the Wes-
tern Continent

Schley had to meet that | desire
