TWO TO ONE, BUT
Perhaps no one, who followed
cloBely the testimony in the Schley
court of inquiry, is surprised at the
findings of Admirals Benhaar and
Jiamsey. The pusillanimous
character of the testimony for the
prosecution, the paltry and flimsy
nature of much of the. criminating
facts set forth, served to show fully
the navy to be divided into two
hostile camps, wjJSh a brass button
ed aristocracy of ball.room and
boudoir bumpkins on oneide, and
the fighting men of the navy on
the other. Benbam andh Ramsey
seem by their fia'Jings, flimsy and
pharisacial as they are, : to be pos
sibly dominated by the naval so
cial clique. . Dewey, whose achieve
ment at Manila will live as long as
history is read or written and who
resigned the presidency of a Wash
ington club in order to eecape the
buffeting of the social mob devoted
.to traducing Schley, speaks in his
opinion as one of the fighters of the
navy, guided by common sense and
swayed by decent intelligence.
If Schley bad lost at Santiago, if
half the Spanish ships had escaped
at Santiago, if he had lost the
Brooklyn, or lost a thousand of his
men, then a court -of inquiry and
the finding of, adverse conclusions
would have come within the limit
of decency and propriety.
But he did not lose. He won
won a victory knot less brilliant
than that at Manila, won all, and
more than all his country ever
dared to hope for. To discredit
him now istd discredit the fair
