GOMMENTONAPPEAL
Judge -Advocate -General
Passes on Schley Matter,
CHIEF FEATURES OF THE CASE
Commentators Say the Admiral aad
His Counsel Have Shifted .Their
Ground The Question el
Command.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. The "com
ment" of Judge-Advocate-General Lemly
and Solicitor Hanna upon the appeal of
Admiral Schley, as submitted to the Pres
ident by Secretary Long, is les9 than a
third as long as the appeal Itself, a fact
accounted for by the comparatively few
quotations from the court's finding In the
case.
The commentators begin -with the state
ment that Admiral Schley and his counsel
have shifted their ground. They say the
chief features of the case were the "retro
grade movement," "disobedience of or
ders." "inaccurate and misleading official
reports," "failure to destroy vessels of
the enemy lying within sight," and "in
justice to a brother officer." These mat
ters are all grave. The first Is that the
linest aggregation of American naval ves
sels under one command was, by Schley's
directions, turned about and headed for
Key Webt, more than 700 miles distant,
when within 22 miles of Santiago, where
the enemy's ships were. The second is
that Schley deliberately and knowingly
dlsobyed the Secretary's order overtaking
him In his retrograde movement. The
third is that Schley's reason, officially
given, for the retrograde movement and
disobedience of orders, i .e., "that the fly
ing squadron was short of coal," was not
true. The fourth Is that for four days
the Spanish ships lay within reach of the
flying squadron and no sufficient effort
was made to destroy them. The fifth in
volves the point of honor. The commen
tators say:
"Upon all the above-named features, be
lieved by us to be the most Important, If
not the onlv reallv inmortant matters Into
which the court made Inquiry, the con- 1
ouct of Admiral Schley was condemned by
that most distinguished tribunal. Admiral
Dewey and Rear-Admirals Benham and
Ramsay unite In their ilndlngs and opin
ion upon all these several points, and they
unite also in the significant recommenda
tion that no further proceedings be hrid,
In view of the length of time which haa
elapsed since the occurrence of the events
of the battle of Santiago.' "
The commentators charge that Admiral
Schley now Ignores all these grave mat
ters and bases his appeal upon unimport
ant features of the case, as compared
with the grave matters referred to, "upon
which there was not, and in the face of
the testimony, could not have been any
difference of opinion in the court."
The commentators say they recognize
the fact that Admiral Schley devoted by
lar the larger part of his appeal to the
question of command, and consequently
fcive that question a proportionate .space
in their comment. They declare that the
ustion is between Sampson and Schley:
both alike are interested, and to investi
gate it fairly both should be heard. Such
incidental testimony on this point as came
before the court was on Schley's side only
and the details were entirely closed to
Sampson. They add:
"To determine an Important question of
this nature under such conditions is con
trary to the underlying principles of Anglo-Saxon
Justice. Nevertheless, it Is pre
cisely what the appeal asks the President
to do."
It Is admitted that the precept was
broad enough to have permitted the court
to go Into this question, but it is recalled
that, though the Judge-Advocate ex
pressed a willingness to enter upon It, the
court did not deem It necessary or proper
to do so. The Judge-Advocate, they say,
might have shown that it was Admiral
Sampson's plan of night blockade that
forced Cervera to come out In the day
light, and Captain Clark is quoted in his
testimony to the effect that the American
ihips charged, "according to the original
plan, to sink the enemy in the channel,"
and that "that plan failed because the
enemy succeeded really in passing the bat
tle line." They ask, why did the enemy
succeed? And declare "the Brooklyn, hav
ing abandoned her position on the left
of the line, thereby left an unguarded
opening along the western shore, through
which the Spanish fleet passed our ships
and attempted to escape." The court's
opinion is quoted that the Brooklyn lost
distance in position by the loop and de
layed the Texas. To sustain their conten
tion that Samp&on was in command, the
commentators quote passages from
Schley's report of July 6. 1893.
The commentators next state: "If Com
modore Schley were In absolute command
during the battle, and if he had made any
use of his authority, he must have exer
cised some control over some of the ves
sels participating," whereby they take up
in detail the testimony of the command
ing officers on this point, and say:
"Walnwright, of the Gloucester, said
he saw no orders from, the Brooklyn;
Taylor, of the Indiana, said he saw no
signals from the Brooklyn; Evans, of the
Iowa, said of the Brooklyn, I never saw
any signal from her. I did not maneuver
in obedience to any signals from the
Brooklyn"; the commanding officer of the
Texas is dead, but the officers' testimony
makes It clear that she received no or
ders. Speaking of this ship, the commentators
declare:
"The question is not so much one of
possible credit to, but of possible censure
of Admiral Schley, 4n connection with the
work of that vessel in the battle of San
tiago. The plain truth is that Admiral
Schley did not during the battle in any
way direct or control the splendid per
formances of the Gloucester and the three
battle-ships Indiana, Iowa and Texas.
The officers in command of these ships
neither received nor obeyed a solitary
order from him."
Next the commentators turn their at
tention to what they declare were persist
ent efforts by Schley's attorneys to show
that In some manner the Oregon, at least,
was under his orders during the battle,
first by answering the signal, "Close up,"
and afterward by firing her 13-Inch guns
under signal from the Brooklyn, and they
say: "But that attempt, as the testimony
to be quoted below shows, was a failure."
They quote, therefore, passages from Cap
tain Clark's testimony, in which he said
in regard to the order. "Close up," that
that was a standing order in the squadron
to attack the enemy at once if they ap
peared, and to keep the heads of the ships
always toward the entrance, and "I re
member a feeling of satisfaction that
there was an order to close in, in case
any accident had happened any colliding
with other ships.'
As to the alleged order from the Brook
lyn directing the Oregon to fire her 3-inch
guns, the commentators again quote from
Captain Clark's testimony, where, when
asked if the guns were fired in pursuance
of an order from the Brooklyn, the Cap
tain said: "No, sir; I fired them after de
liberating with the officers," and "if they
(the Brooklyn) made a signal,. I did not
see it" The comment closes in the following-
words:
"The contention that the magnificent
work of the Oregon, or any part of it, was
done under orders from the Brooklyn, or
that the Oregon received and obeyed even
a single order from Commodore Schley
from the time the Spanish ships were
sighted to the time of the surrender of the
Colon, which surrender may fairly be
taken as the close of the battle, must be
abandoned; And with it goes the last peg
upon which to hang the pretense of a
claim that during the battle of Santiago
Commodore Schley effectively exercised
any of the functions of a commander-in-chief.
"The weight of the testimony is to the
effect that the commodore controlled the
movements cif his flagship, the Brooklyn,
well, with the exception of the loop. But
It also shows not negatively, but affirma
tively and beyond question that he did
not control the operations of the fleet in
general on that day. All this Is estab
lished, not by theoretical deductions or
expert or inexpert opinion, but by direct,
positive, unlmpeached and unimpeachable
testimony given under oath by Jhe Ad
miral's brothers In arms.
"The plain truth of the matter, there
fore, developed for the first time under
the searchlight of this inquiry, although
quite incidentally, is that, so far as the
Gloucester, the Iowa, the Indiana, the
Texas and the Oregon are concerned, not
the stroke of a propeller-blade, not the
touch of a helm, not the firing of a shot
was done under the direction or by the or
ders of Admiral Schley during this mem
orable battle.'

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. Today's ses
sion of the Senate was entirely void of
tumultuous scenes, which characterized
the sessions of the past three days. After
the Philippine tariff measure was taken
up at 2 o'clock, Tillman delivered a speech
devoted almost entirely to discussion of
the part his state took in the war for the
indepjndence of the colonics. Incidentally
he referred occasionally to the pending bill,
drawing morals, as he said, for the bene
fit of the majority that they might be ap
plied to the Philippines.
About 20 of the petty officers of the Ger
man ship Moltke were among the spec
tators in the gallery.
The Proceeding.
A refcolutlon offered by Proctor direct
ing the Secretaries of the Interior and of
Agriculture to report to the Senate any
facts they possessed regarding the pres
ervation of the American buffalo or bison,
and whether any steps ought to be taken
to prevent the extinction of the animals,
was adopted.
Hoar, at the conclusion of the routine
business, called up for consideration the
Joint resolution proposing an amendment
to the Constitution of the United States
respecting the succession to the Presi
dency In case the President-elect should
die between the time of his election and
the date of his Inauguration. Without a
word of comment the resolution was
passed, the president pro tern, announcing
at the request of Hoar that two-thirds
of the Senators had voted for It.
Among the bills passed was one to es
tablish the Fredericksburg and adjacent
National battle-fields memorial park in
Virginia. The bill appropriates $100,000.
Other bills passed were as follows: Add
ing J1.50O.00O to the cost of the public
building at San Francisco: to increase the
limit of cost for the public building at
Butte, Mont., from $225,000 to J400.000; to

claims to land In certain cases; granting,
to "the State of Idaho 50,000 acres of land
to aid in the VontlnuatJon. enlargement
and maintenance of the Idaho State Sol

The vote by which the bill for the use
by tho United States of devices Invented
by Its naval officers and covered by letters
patent was passed yesterday, was recon
sidered at the Instance of Cockrcll, and
the bill again placed on the calendar.
At 2 o'clock the unfinished business (the
Philippine tariff bill) was called up, and
Tillman addressed the Senate. He desired,
he said, to continue the discussion of the
"very Interesting historical subject" whch
hod been brought to the nttentlon of the
Senate by Money. He would have had
something to say about the matter yester
day, had not Lodge employed what he con
sidered ungracious tactics. These tactics
were supplemented by other Republican
Senators, he said, "and my gallant young
friend from Indiana (Beverldge) leaped
Into the arena and charged the minority
with conspiracy and obstruction."
"The Philippine tariff bill," he continued,
"is very Important from the standpoint
of those who propose to pursue relentless
ly and remorselessly the present Philip
pine policy, although the Senator from
Utah (Rawlins), has shown that there Is
now oer there plenty of money for the
carpet-baggers to spend.
Discussing the historical subject raised
yesterday, Tillman said:
"I am glad that Massachusetts has one
representative in this chamber even If
South Carolina has only one,' 'he Interpel
lated significantly, "who stands sturdily
for the principles upon which this Gov
ern was founded."
He then entered upon nn elaborate ac
count of the part South Carolina took in
the war for the Independence of the colo
nies. While Tillman was speaking, several
Senators engaged in conversation among
themselves. To this Tillman objected, be
cause of the interruption, and he requested
that those so engaged retire to the cloak
rooms. For once.he was, he said, making
a speech for home consumption.
"Of course," he said, "the Senators on
the Republican side are not Interested. I
could hardly hope to reach on such a sub
ject tho minds and hearts of the calloused
malorltv. the commerclallszed, money-
grabbing, money-loving majority, as such
a sublect Is not In consonance with tno
miserable, canting, damnable attitude
which that party Is now assuming." '
By the time he had concluded this lin
guistic diversion. Tillman had the atten
tion of all the Senators present. Tillman
declared It was the history of all conquer
ing armies when prosecuting sucn a strug
gle as the British pressed against the rev
olutionary colonists, and which Is now
being carried on by the British in South
Africa, that they committed cruelties and
trampled upon all the obligations of hu
manity. "And I would ask the majority in this
house," he said, "if. in trying to force the
Filipinos to accept our government with
out promise, they are not inviting the
exasperation of the natives and a spirit of
perpeaial Insurrection."
The effort to treat the Filipinos as
"chattels catUe" he declared, was
damnable, and he charged the majority
side with being the "real murderers of our
troops In the Philippines."
"But." he asserted, shaking his finger at
the" Republican side, "If we can gag you
and force down your throats a scintilla
or small dose of the principles which ac
tuated the men of Massachusetts in 16,
we will have done our duty to the country
and humanity."
In a brief colloquy with Burton, allu
sion was made to the remark of Tillman
yesterday about the burning of negroes
in Vatmas. Rurton said that no one In
Kansas was proud of committing murder,
and Tillman retorted: "They prefer to
murder them In the Philippines."
Commenting upon the sedition jaws pro
mulgated by the Philippine Commission,
nilman inquired of Hoar whether the
Spring-field Republican, which, he said,
was opposed to the Republican "Imperial
istic policy," under these laws, would ba
permitted to be circulated in the Philip
pines. "While I decline to enter upon any dis
cussion of Massachusetts newspapers,"
said Hoar," "I will say to to the Senator
If he wants to know my opinion of the
commission's order that I think it is an
abominable order."
In conclusion, Tillman said the pending
Philippine tariff bill, as a proposition to
erect a tariff wall between the United
States and another part of the domestic
territory, was a departure from even
principle that had brought this country to
the pinnacle of greatness and made it the
cynosure of the eyes of the "world as the

The nerves control and determine the
health of every function of the brain
and body.
More 'than nine-tenths of all diseases
that are not infectious are known by
every physician to be merely the local
symptoms of a coming break-down of
the nervous system.
In one person the diseased condition
of the nerves manifests Itself in insom
nia; In another, by indigestion; in an
other, by rheumatism; some organ of
the human body becomes affected, and
refuses to perform its proper work.
When these symptoms begin to show
themselves, medicine today knows but
this one remedy, the famous discovery
of Professor Edward E. Phelps, M. D.,
LL. D., whose wonderful achievement
has spread the fame of one of this coun
try's greatest universities. No other
remedy was ever universally prescribed
by physicians. It was by the advice of
the most eminent practitioners in the
country that this great remedy was
first put within the reach of the public.
Palne's Celery Compound Is not in any
way a patent medicine. It is so superior
to all the so-called remedies that no
serious comparison can be ma'de be
tween them.
The formula of Paine's Celery Com
pound has been freely furnished from
the first to reputable physicians any
where, and the thousands of authenti
cated cases that are reported yearly by
physicians of every school have proved
beyond question that in every case of
dyspepsia, biliousness, liver complaint,
neuralgia, rheumatism, or other dis
eases, that imply impaired nerves,
Paine's Celery Compound lnvariably
glves lasting relief.
It succeeds again and again in com
pletely curing diseases where every
thing else has failed. It is the only pre
pared remedy in the world that is
openly and publicly Indorsed by medi
cal journals. A single trial of Paine's
Celery Compound will convince any one
that it accomplishes In every case all
that it Is claimed to do. x
land of the free and the home of the brave.

RATHBONE'S DEFENSE.
PITTSBURG. Jan. 30. The Amalgamat
ed Association of Iron. Steel and Tin

the.e concerns shall not be shut down
next Summer pending the wage adjust
ment. In other words, there Is to be
no stop, even If a disagreement on wages
results. The new scale will be formu
lated at the annual convention of the
association at Wheeling In April. An ef-

every year by the wage question. Presi

augurated which will do away entirely
with mill committees, salaried district
presidents being elected, whose duty It
shall be to settle disputes In their districts.

a precedent for Rathbone'e expense In

tary officers referred to had authority for
so doing, while Rathbone did not have
such authority.

Senate committee containing receipts and
expenditures In Cuba have been filed as
evidence by counsel for Rathbone. These
reports contain many bills contracted by
Army officers for their private residences,
similar to those contracted by Rath
