IfjPs Appeal GENERALLY HE APPROVES THE ( ' FINDINGS OF THE NAVAL COURT OF INQUIRY. Sampron's Report of Schley's Repre - hensible Conduct, -.Sen to the De partment Six Weeks After It Oc curred, Is CondemnadH The Battle of Santiago Was Won by the Cap tains of the Wanhips4 Tho Loop. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1J-The Pros ident today made public thle -statement on Admiral Schley's appeal and the answer thereto, from the Navy Depart ment! The President says: "I have examined both with utmost care, ae well as the preceding appeal to the Secretary of the Navy. I have read through' all the testimony taken before the court and the statements of coun sel for Admiral Sampson and Admiral Schley; have "(examined all the official reports of-every kind in reference to the Santiago naval campaig i, and have also personally had before ine the four surviving captains from tht five ships, aside from those of the two Admirals, which were actively engaged at Santi ago. It appears triat the Cturt of In quiry was unanimous in its findings of fact, and unanimous in its expressions of opinion and most of its findings of fact. No appeal is made to me from the verdict of the court on these points. where it was unanimous. I have, how ever, gone carefully -over the evidence on these points also. I am satisfied that on the whole, the court did sub stantial. justice. : "It should have speciflally con demntd tne failure to enforce an effl cient night- blockade at Santiago, while Admiral Schley waa In command On the other, hand, I feci th, it there is a reasonable doubt w hether he did no move his squadron with sufllcient ex ledition from iort to fiort The court is united in condemning Admiral Schley's action on the imln where i seems to me- he most gravely errtrd his "retrograde movement,' when he abandoned the blockade, tari 1 his dls obedience of nt1ers and mis statement It should of facts In relation thereto be remembered, however, th at the ma jorlty, of these actions which the court censure occurred five weeks or more before the fight Itself, and It certainly seems that if Admiral Schley's 'actions were censurable, he should not hftve been left as second in comm nd under Admiral Sampson. His offHnscs were In effect. - condoned w hen tut was not railed to account, for them Sampson, nftcr the fight. In letter to -the Navy -De part tne Admiral an oni'-lnl t alluded for the first time to Admlra - Schley' "reprehensible conduct' six w wk pre vlously. If Admiral Schley as guflly of reprehensible conduct of tire kind which called for such notl by Adi mlnil SampHon.- then Admiral Sampsoh ought not to have left hJ-in as Mnior officer of the- blockading sipi droit on the third of July, w hem he Ri in ptij steamed away on bis profier communication witli Genera lerrajld of Shifter, present "We ca n - t here fore, for on purpoces, diftilNH the consid so much of the iippenl . n.nything except the brittle, gards this the point-raised'-1 ralion of folates to As re tbe ap- peal'Js betwK-n Admirals Sani pxon and Schley, us to which was In miriiMid; as to which was entitled to't lie credit. if eMher of theni was really c ititled to any unusual and pre-eminent k r-llt by any special exhibit of genius skill and courage. The court could hav r eonsld- ere-l tKth of thin que! Ions out as a matter of fa t it unanimously exr-linled the evidence offered urwin t "in. an1 through Its pre-nnouriced ri -fusa to nir vvimirat .Sampson n si de ut all. and In view of such exclusltrn the ma ll, entire Joriiy of the court a-te v. propriety in not expressing an y opinion on this ioint. "The matter has. however, lx-en raiwi by the President of the court Moreover ft -is a point upon -which' Ad mirai Si.bley in his appeal lays the mot stress, and which he ffcjx'clally asks me to consider. The appeal of Admiral Schley to me Is not, a to this. The thief point h- raises really is an apjxal from the decision of the Court of Inquiry. 'Five-sixths of the appeal ImI devoted to this question of , command nd credit; that Is, to a matter w hich the Court of Inquiry did not coridr. It Is In effect an apped from the action of President McKlnley three 4ars ago. wnen tie sent in his recommendations for promotion for the varlounj officer connected with the Santiago squadron, basing these recommendations upon his estimate of the credit to which the officer were respectively Untitled, What I ' have to decide, therefore. Is wncmer or not President MKirb- aia an injustice in the matter.. This necessarily Involve a cnmiw Hsm of tne action of the different command er engaged. The exhaustive official reports of the action leave UttBe to be brought out anewx hut a the iuesiion of Admiral Sampson's right to lb eon- sldered In chiHf romnuM, whbh ws determined In his fivra- by President MeKinJey and later bythe CVurt of Claims, ha never hitherto b en Irdflcial ly raised, I deemed it beio Secure statement from the comman lem . of the five ship fother than the BrKk- lynand New York) which were ac'tive ly engaged in" the fight." The President then. Includes statements from the. live Capta say: ""The quetkn as to wbirh'.onaj wo men. Admiral Sampwn.Dr Ad;nita Schley, was at the time in con4iti,.nl is of merely a nominal character. lt wjj b ns and of th a captains" fight.
