Washington. Nov. 2.'.. The annual
report of this bocretary or the nay,
Hon. John D. Long, was made public
today. It gives in detail a history of
the navy's part In the war and closed
with a. number of important reconi
inendatlons. Jt reflected seriously on
Commodoie (now Admiral) Schley for
disobedience of orders at Santiago and
upon General Shatter for refusing to
let Admiral Sampson participate in tho
negotiations for tho surrender of San
tiago. fter detailing tho navy's ad
MMice preparations for war and eulog
izing the vvoik of Admiral Dewey at
Manila, the lepott treats thus of tho
pursuit and ilestiuctlon of Cervera'J
lleet ami the capture of Santiago:
The North Atlantic Ilect was under
the command of Admiral Montgomery
Klcard, United States Navy, until
March 26, when it was found necessary
on account of his health, to relieve him
from that onerous and exacting duty.
Captain Sampson, the senior oincer
present, who was thoroughly familiar
with the personnel and material of the
licet, and with all tho arrangements
which hud been made .preceding tho
nctu il outbreak of hostilities, was giv
en command of the licet, with the rank
of rtar-udmiral.
On April 29 Admiral Ceivoia's lleet
palled from the Cape do Verde Islands.
As Its destination was uncertain, Ad
miral Sampson suited cast with a por
tion of the lleet under his command for
the put pose of observation. He left
Key AVest on the 4th of May. At Cape.
Ilaitlen on Slay 7, he received dispatch
es trom the department advising him
that the Spanish squadron was repoit
ed (it St. Thomas, West Indies. In
structions were also received that tho
vessels accompanying him were not to
be risked or crippled In tho bombaid
ment of fottlflcations, as it wis con
sidered unwise to risk any of the ves
sels of our navy until the Spanish lleets
had been met end destrojed. Continu
ing eastward In the hope of Hinting
the enemy at San Juan, Poito Rico,
he found It necessary, on account of
tho small coal supply of the monitors,
to take them in tow, and the souadron
did not arrive off San Juan until the
morning of the 12tn. A bombaulment
of that r'ace followed for two hours
and a half, but rs there was no land
foice to hold it in case of its surren
der, and as the Spanish lleet was not
there, it was detei mined to icturn to
Havana, where it was possible Cervera
might have gore.

SCHLEY IN DOUBT.
On the 26th Admiral Sampson ie
cclved front Commodoie Schley a lot-
tor duted May 23, stating that he was
by no means satisfied that the Spanish
squadron was not at Clenfuegos, and
that he would, therefoie, lomaln oft
that port with his squadron. The Wasp
wan sent on May 27 to carry advice to
Commodoie Schley, informing him that
dally confidential leports looolvetl at
Key West ftotn Havana stated that
tho Spanish Hquadron had been In San
tiago de Cuba from the lfith to the 2,"ith.
Inclusive, and directing him to proceed
with nil possible dispatch to that port.
At this time two telegrams dated Clen
fuegos, May 24, wcie received by Ad
miial Sampson fiom Commodore
Schley, statins: that coaling off that
pott was very uncertain: that he had
ascertained that the Spanish lleet was
not in Clenfuegos, and would go east

that on account of shot t coal supply In
ships he could not blockade If tho
Spunlt'h squadron was In Santiago, but
would proceed to tho vlilitlty of Nicho
las Mole, from which point ho would
communicate.
SAMPSON TO THE FRONT.
Upon the receipt of this Infoimation
Admiral Sampson at onco decided to
go to Kev West for coal, and, If au
thorized by the depaitment, to proceed
to Santiago In person. The New Or
leans was instructed on this same day,
May 27, to proceed as lapldly as pos
sible to that port, In company with the
collier Sterling, and with oiders to
Commodore Schlev "to lomaln on the
blockade at Santiago at all hazuids.
assuming that the Spanish vos"s ate
in that port." This otder further di
rected that the collier Sterling should
lie used to obstruct the channel leading
into tho harbor, and that in tho mean
time the utmost eaie should be exer
cised that none of tho Spanish vessels
in that port he. allowed to escape. Ad
miral Sampson arrived at Key West on
May 28 and cabled to Commodore
Schley, advising him that the New Or
leans would meet him off Santiago on
May 29 with important dispatches, and
further emphasizing the importance of
Immediate communication with persons
ashore, In order to ascertain definitely
whether or not Cei vera's squadion was
In tho port of Santiago.
Commodore Schlej left Clenfuegos on
the evening of tho 24th, and at 3.30 p.
m. oli the 26th leached a point twenty
miles or more to the southward and
eastward of Santiago, where the squad

SUCCESSOR TO
JUDGE GORDON
GOV. HASTINGS NAMES JUDGE
HENRY J. M'CARTHY.
Hon. Boles Penrose Submits to an
Interview In Which He Gives De
cided Opinion That the Name of
the Judge Appointed Should Be
Submitted to the Senate.
Hanlsbtirg, Nov, 2.1. Governor Hast
ings today announced the appointment
of Henty J McCaithy. (Demon at, ) of
Philadelphia, to succeed James day
Uotdou, Judge of tho common pleas
com t of Philadelphia, whoso icslgnatlon
of Wednesday cieated a sensation
tlnoughout Pennsylvania. Judge Me
Catthy was n Judge of the sum emu
couit of this state as It was originally
constituted, having been appointed by
Governor Hastings as tho DcmoonUlv
member of that body. He failed, how
ever, to secuie the endorsement of his
party for the regular nomination, and
was fotccd to retlie.
Judge McCarthy's commission tuns
until the llrst Monday of Jnnuar, lfino.
OPINION OF PENROSE.
Philadelphia, Nov. 23. United States
Senator Peniose had this to sav to
night concerning the appointment of
Henry .1. McCaithy to succeed Judge
Gordon
"I have not had tho time to give
the question as cateful consideiatlon
as I would like to have had, but upon
an examination alteady made. I nm
decidedly of the opinion that tho name
of Judge McCaithy will have to be sub
mitted by the governor for tho consid
eration of the senate. It is true that
seitloti 2.1, of attlileV, of the new ioii-
stitutlon provides that vacaiules in
tonus of record shall be illled by ap
pointment by the governor till the llrst
Monday of January m t succeeding
tho llrst geuetal election, which shall
occur thice or more months after the
happening of such vaiancy, yet this
piovlslon i elates solely to the lime for
which the appointment shall be made.
Uy lcferenco to section , of aitlele
dcllnlng and prescribing tho duties and ;
powers of the governor. 11 Is expnss
ly provided that In cae of vacaiules
he shall have power to lilt such va
cancies as may happen, during tho
recess of the senate, by granting coin
missions which shall expire at tho end
of the next session of the senate My
recollection Is that most of the appoint
ments to Judicial niuoos that have been
made by the governors of Pennsylvan
ia since tho new constitution of 1S71
have been made by asking the advic-e I
and consent of the senate. It Is piob
ably true that in a few instances this
wns done; but as no one seemed to be
sufficiently Inteiested to question tho
validity of the appointment the ques
tion was not raised for settlement by
tho couits.
INTENT OP THE CONSTITUTIfJN.
"The clear purpose and intent of tho
new constitution," continued Senator
Penrose, "Is to requite that all appoint
ments fiom that of notary public up
shall be submitted to the Henate for Its
advice and consent. If it be ttue that
Governor Hastings has Issued a com
mission to Judge McCarthy that is In
tended to have him lemaln in commis
sion until the first Monday of January.
1000, then I think ho will discover that
ho has acted mistakenly. In my Judg
ment, tho name of Judge McCaithy
should he sent to tho senate for Its' ac
tion promptly after It assembles in
January next, and If the appointment
shall bo confirmed by the senate, then
Judge McCarthys commission will be
good until the first Mnndav of Janu
ary, 1900. If, on the other hand, the
nomination shall be rejected by the
senate, then it will be the duty of tho
governor to nominate a suitable person
to the senate for Its consideiatlon and
action; and upon tho confirmation of
such nominee, he will have a valid
commltHion which will entitle him to
serve as Judge until January, IfWO, the
people of the county of Philadelphia
electing him, or some other qualified
person, at the November election of
1S9H.
"What would bo the toutse of pto
ccduro In the event of Judge McCarthy
failing to iccognize the right of Govei
nor Stone's appointee, who had been
appointed with the advice and consent
of tho senate?" was asked of Senator
Penrose.
"In that e'ase an application would bo
made to the attorney genein' for quo
wananto proceedings against Judge
McCarthy, and the case would then
have to be decided by the lower court
and eventually 1 1 the Supieme couit
of Pennsvlvanla."

EXPLANATION
OF OPEN DOOR
Chairman Dingley De
fines the Current
Phrase.
PHILIPPINE QUESTION
Tho Policy so Much Talked About,
Mr. Dlngley Explains, Means
Equality of Treatment and Not
Tice Trade Could Not Bo Applied
to the Philippines If They Should
Be Admitted to tho United States
In Territorial Form.
Washington, Nov. 23. Chairman
Dlngley, of the ways and means com
mittee. In nn Intel view with a Star
repeater, today, explained tho term
"open door" policy as applied to thu
future commerce of the Philippines lu
cae they should bo acquired by tho
United States.
"The phrase 'opondoor' policy which
Is now being talked about so much
in the nowspapeis," salel Mr. Dlngley,
'means simply equality of treatment
and not free trade. As applied to tho
dependency of llio country it simply
means that Imports from, all countries
aic to be admitted on tho samo terms
as imports from tho mother country.
As applied to tho Philippines It would
means that Imports from Great llrlt
niu and all foiclgn countries arc to
lie admitted at the. samo rates of duty
as linpoits from the United States.
"Of course, this policy could not be
applied to the Philippines If they
should be admitted to the union with
territorial form ot government, be
cause tho constitution ptetvldes that
duties shall bo uniform within thu
United States, unless theto should bo
an amendment to the constitution per
mitting this.
"Whether It would bo possible to np
plv this policy to the Philippine'! after
they .should become a part of the ter
ritory of the United States under that
piovlslon of the constitution which au
thorizes congress tei 'make needful
rules and legitlatlons lespectlng thu
teiiltiny or other property of the Unit
ed States' I am not prepared to say.
It Is noticeable, however, that In tho
resolution providing for tho annexa
tion of Hawaii, pasfd al tho last ses
sion ! congics.e, It v.,.s piovldod that
the Hawaiian tariff should continue in
lorce until conciess should otherwise
determine.
TO APPLY TO Tlin ISLANDS.
"It Is to bo borne in mind, bow over,
that the present talk about an open
door policy for the Philippines is In
tended to apply tntliely to those.
Islands while under a military admin
istration, which would be peimlsalble,
and not to apply to those Islands after
thov shall have been formally iccog
nlzed as a part ot tho United States.
"Of com so it would he competent for
tho Paris commissioner? to incorpm
nte In the trenty with Spain a provi
sion granting to Spnnish Imports into
the Philippines eciuallty ot treatment
with imports irom the United States
lor a lerm of years, and that provision
In the treaty, when ratified by tho
senate and piojected into law by con
gross, will b tho law of the land.
In the discussion of the 'open clooi'
poll. -j- I notice that many papeis as
sume that It Is the uniform policy eit
Gieat llrltain In hoi relations with her
colonies. It should be borne in mind,
however, that theie is a conspicuous
exception to this In tho case of Can
ada, her most Important colony, which
admits impoits from Great Britain at
2,1 per cent, less duty than they are
admitted trom the United States and
othr countries. It is understood that
this policy was adopted by Canada, It
not on tho suggestion, nt least with thu
appioval of Sir. Chamberlain, Tirltlsh
secretin y for tho colonies, and that ho
Is uiglng other colonies of Groat IJtit
ain to give a similar piefercnie to that
country."
