Tho President today made public tlio statement on Ad miral Schley's appeal and tho anawor thereto, from tho Navy Department. The President says: "I bavo examined both with utmost enro, ao woll aB the preceding aj)pcal to tho Secretary of tho Navy. I have read through all tho testi mony taken before tho court and tho statements of counsel for Admiral Samp son and Admiral Schloy ; hove examined all the ofllrial reports of every kind In referanco to tho Santiago naval campaign and also personally had boforo mo the four surviving captains from tho five ships, asldo from thoso of tho two Ad mirals, which wero actively engaged at Santiago. It appears that tho Court of Inquiry was unanimous in its findings of fact, and unanimous In its expressions of opinion and most of its findings of fact. No appeal is mado to mo from the vor diet of the court on those points, whoro it was unanimous, I have,bowever, gone carefully over tho evldonco on those points also. I am satisfied that vi the whole, the court did substantial justice 'It should have specifically con demned tho failure to onforco nn eill clent night blockado at Santiago while Admiral Schley was in command. On tho other band I fool that there is a reasonablo doubt whether he did not move bis squadron with BufDclentex psditlon from port to port. The court la united in condemning Admiral Schley 's action on tho point whoro it steins to mo be most gravely orrod his "retrograde movoment," wbon he abandoned tho blockado, and his dis obedience of ordors and mis-statement of tacts in relation thoroto. It should be remembered, however, that tho ma jority of these actions which the court censuros occurred flvowooke or inoro bo foro tho fight itsolf and It cortalnly sooms that if Admiral Schley's actions wero censurable, bo should not havo boen loft as second in command uudor Admiral Sampson. Ufa offenses wero in effect condoned when ho was not callod to account for thorn. Admiral HAmpBon, after tho fight, in an official letter to tho Navy Department alluded for tho first time to Admiral Schloy'a "roprehensiblo conduct" six weeks pre viously. If Admiral Schloy was guilty of roprohontlblo conduct of tho kind which called for such notice by Admiral Sampson, then Admiral Sampson ought not to bavo left him as senior ofllcor of the blockading squardon on tho third of July, whon ho (Sampson) steamed away on Ills proper errand of com munication with Qunoral Shatter. "We can thoioforo, for our present purposos, dismiss the consideration of so much of tho appeal as relates to any thing oxcopt the battle, As rogurds this tho point raised In tho appeal isfeutweon Admirals Sampson and Schloy, as to which was in command; as to which was entitled to tho credit, if olthor of them was roally entitled to any unusual and pro-eminent credit by any spoolul ex hibit of gonlus, skill, and courage. The court could havo considered both of those questions, but as a matter 6f fact it unanimously oxoliidod tho evidence offered upon thorn, ami through its pro announced refusal to hear Admiral Bampbon'a aldo at all, and in view o( such exclusion, tho majority of the court acted with entiru propriety in not fcxpreoilng any opinion on this point. "Tho tnattor has, however, boon raised by tho President of the court. Moreover, it is a point upon which Ad miral Sohloy In bis appeal lays the most stress, and which ho especially asks mo to consider, Tho appeal of Admiral Schley to mo is not as to this. The chief jolnt ho raises really Is an appeal from tho decision of tho Court ot In quiry. "Fire-sixths of tho appwal Is devoted to this question of command and credit; that is, to a matter which tiio Court of Inquiry did not consider. It Is In effect an appeal from the action of President MoKluloy throe years ago, when he sent in his recommendations for promotion for the various olllaem connected with the Santiago squadron, basing those reo ommondatious upo i his estimate of tho credit to which tlio olllcers wero respec tively entitled. What I have to double, therefore, Is whether or not Provident MoKiuley did an injustice in tlio matter, This necessarily involves a, comparison of the action ot the dlfforout command ers engaged, Tho exhaustive otllcial rt - ports ot tho actiou leave little to be brought out an jw; but as the quo.tlun of Admiral Sampeou's right to bo con sidered in chief command, which wasde tormlned in his favor by President Mo Kiuley and iMor by tho Court of Claims, has never hitherto been olllulally raised, I deemed it Ixwt to secure staUmuuts from the commanders of the Ave ships (other than thoUrooklyu and New York) whloh wero aetlvely engaged In tho fight." The Prejldent then inelude the state ments from tho live Captains and says: "The question as to whloh one of the twJ men, Ai'm tal Sampson or Admiral Schley, was ui the time in command Is ot merely a nominal character. It was it captains' fight. "Therefore tho oredtt to whloh eaoh of the two Is eutitled, rests on matters apart from tlio claim ot a nominal com mand oyer a squadron ; for, so far as tho actual fight la concerned, uelthor one nor the other in fast exercised any command, batupsou was hardly more than technically in tho fight. Ills teal claim for credit rest upon bis work as eomniaudor-lH-ohlef; upon the excel lence of the blookadet upou the pre par ed ness of the squadrouj upon the ar rangement ol the ships ahead la a semi circle around the harbor, and the stand ing orders in accordance with which thoy constantly moved to tho attack of tho Spanish fleet when the latter ar rived. For all those things, the credit is his. "Admiral Schley is rightly entitled as U Captain Cook to tho credit of what tho Brooklyn did In tho fight On tho whole she did welljlmt I agree with tho unanimous finding of tho three Admirals who composed tho Court of Inquiry bb to tho "loop." It seriously marred tho Brooklyn's otherwiso excellent record, being in fact tho ono gravo mistake made by any American ship that day, "Personally I feel It would have been well to have given Captain Clark, of the Oregon, the advisement that was given Walnwrlght. But waiving this Is evid ent that Walnwrlght was entitled to re celvo moro than any of tb othor com mandors.nnd that It was just to Admiral Sampson that ho should rccolvo tho greater advantage in numbers than Ad miral Schloy there was nothing dono In tho battle that warranted any unusual reward for either. In short, as reuardn Admirals Snmpson and Schley, I find that Presid ent McKinley did substantial Justfco.and thero should bo no wainmt for reversing his notion. "Both Admirals Sampson and Scliloy aro now on thu retired list. In conclud ing their report tho members of tho Court of Inquiry Admiral Dewey, llenhnm and Komsey unito in stating that thoy recommend that no further action bo had in tho matter. Willi this recommendation I most heartily concur. Thero is no excuse whatever from either side for any further agitation of tnls un happy controversy. To keep it alive would morely do damogo to tho Navy and to the country." J low Are Ttur .1(lnr f Dr. ltobtni'SiariiiiPIIUcur nil klilner 111k. Hm. vlofrru.
