After Mat-lay's, book was published Mr. Maclay stated that liW proofs had been submitted to the commanding officers, Including Adml rnl Sampson, nnd that they approved his statements. A reporter calling up tin Admiral Sampson when ho was III In his bed obtained from the admiral what appeared to be a confirmation of this statement. The admiral was iisk ed If he had seen nnd read the proofs of Mnclay's book, nnd ho said yes, but unfortunately he wns too ill to go into the matter at nny length and e. plain everything, and so the public wns Informed and today believes that Admiral Sampson entirely approved the statement that Schley was u cow ard nnd n cnltlff, which wns the gist of Mnclay's charge against Schley.

The admiral therefore con- Routed to read them, and he did correct a certuin part of them, but as soon ns he arrived at the part which contained tho statement thnt Schley was n cow ard nud a caitiff he wns very much angered nnd said the statement was one the nuthor hud no right to make, that It was unjust und unfair to speak of nny naval officer In such terms nnd de clined to have anything further to do with the proofs.

Impressed with the Brent desirability of having the state- , nrents of facts accurate and not bo- I lievlng that ho wns iu any way re- sponsible for the statements of oplu- Ions, did on his own uccount compare the book with tho records und make on the margins a number of corrections. As these were In tho same handwrit ing ns those mnde when Admiral ' Sampson was giving his liersonal at- ! tentlon to the corrections Mr. Maclay was perfectly justified In his state ment.
