COMMENT IN
SCHLEY CASE
(Concluded him Phro 1,1
of ilic Iowa, said of the IlrooMin! "I iicur
mvv any Iriii1 from licr. I did not mannrmcr
In obedience to any kIkiuIi from the llrootj Ij n" ',
ilio I'oinm.iiidlnj offleir of the Tcmh t ilmd,
but the officer's testimony nuhei It clear Hut
that fhlp leeched no onlciK.
They remark: "Nobody has ever dis
puted Grant's title to the victory ut Ap
pomattox, although then lying sick somo
miles from the nlaco of surrender so
far that It was feared ho could not bo
reached within the period ot nrmlstlce.
Though Howard wns senior officer pres
ent nt the capture of Savannnli and
Sherman absent on one of Admiral
Dahlgrcn's gunboats, nobody has ques
tioned Sherman's famous report to Lin
coln: 'I beg to present you as a Christ
mas gift, the city of Savannah.' "
And ao showing Schley's own opinion
ns to who was In command, they quote
tills passage from his dispatch of July
10, 1S0S, to the secretary of tho navy:
"Feel some mortification thut the
newspaper accounts of July C have at
tributed victory of July 3 almost en
tirely to me, Victory wns secured by
tho force under the commander In chief
of the North Atlantic station, und lo
him tho honor Is due."
Further, they quote Schley's letter of
December 18, 1001, to Secretary Long,
Justifying the "loon" on the expressed
ground that it was made "In tho exe
cution of the standing order to close
In." It Is asked: "But If he was then
himself in command, how happens .It
that he was executing the orders of
somebody else In command? Before the
court of Inquiry, every prop raised to
support the contention that Commodore
Schley, did anything to achieve the vic
tory by issuing oiders as commanding
ofllcer of the American licet was re
moved. The plain truth was for tho
first time revealed that 'Commodore
Schley did not exercise command on
that day over any ship, except to some
extent ills own flagship, the Brook
lyn.' "
The Brooklyn's Signal.
The comment at tills point' contains a
number of extracts from the testimony
to sustain this contention. Taking the
Brooklyn's signal book, It Is stated that
this showed I hat the Brooklyn gave
only the two orders, "clear for action"
and "close up."
"A meagre record, but It is the whole
story." The commentators quote Lieu
tenant McCauley, the Brooklyn signal
ofllcer, that the (list signal, "clear ship
for action," wus hoisted by him "on my
own hook." They assert that the ships
had been substantially cleared for ac
tion for over u month and that what
remained to be done on shipboard was
not done in pursuance of this order.
They quote Captain Clark to the elfect
that it was a standing order on the
Oregon, upon .sighting the enemy, "to
Immediately strike the alarm gongs for
clearing ship for action," which, they
declare, was a standing order, and con
sequently the Oregon did not act on
signals from the Brooklyn. Other tes
timony is cited 011 this point, and then
the order "close up" is considered.
The comment insists that this iii,,r
was not seen by any ship other than
the Oregon, unless perhaps the Texas,
and that It exercised no Influence what
ever upon any vessel of the squadron.
They also quote Admiral Schley's testi
mony that the Brooklyn's charge wits
made in accordance with the oiiglnal
plan.
Speaking or this ship, the comenlc
tors declare: "The question is not so
much one of possible credit to, but
posslblevceftsuro of Admiral Schley In
connection with the work of that ves
sel in the battle of Santinjo. The
plain truth is that Admiral Schley did
not during the battle in any way
direct or control the' splendid perform
ances of the Gloucester and the three
battleships, Indlunn, Iowa and Texas.
The ollleers In command of these ships
neither received or obeyed a solitary
order from him."
They quote passages from Captain
Clark's testimony, in which lie said.
In regard to the order, "close up,"
"that was a standing order, to ltlaek
tho enemy at once if they appeared,
and to keep the heads of the ships
always toward tho entrance," nnd "I
remember a feeling of satisfaction
that there was an order to close in,
in case any accident had hapepned
any colliding with other ships."
As to tho alleged order from tho
Brooklyn, directing the Oregon to Arc
her thirteen-Inch guns, the commenta
tors again quote from Captain Clnrke'n
testimony, where, when asked If the
guns were fired in pursuance of an
order fiom the Brooklyn, the captain
said: "No, sir; I fired them after de
liberating with the officers," and, "If
they (the Brooklyn) mndo a signal, I
did not see It."

ing words:

which that party Is now assuming."
By the time he hud concluded this
diversion Mr. Tillman had tho atten
tion of all tho senators present.
Cruelties of Coniruorors.
Mr, Tillman declared it was the his
tory of all conquering armies when
Iirosecutlng such a struggle as the
British prebsed against the revolution
ary colonists and which is now helng
carried on by the British in South
Africa, that they committed cruelties
and trampled upon all the obligation
of humanity.
"And I would ask the mjaority 11
this chamber," ho said, "If In trying tj
force the Filipinos to accept our goJ
eminent without a promise thoy ail
not Inviting tho exasperation of thd
natives and a spirit of perpetual inj
mtrrectlon."
The effort to treat the Filipinos ol
chattels, as cattle, he declared, will
"damnable," and ho charged the him
jorlty side with being the "real muij
deters of our troops In the Phlllpl
pines."
"Itut," ho assorted, shahlng his fin
ger at the Republican side, If wo can
gag you and force down your thtoats n
small dose of the principles which .m-
tttatcd the men of Massachusetts In
177C, wo will have done our duty to
tho country and to humanity."
In a brief colloquy with Mr. Uurton
(Kansuu), allusion was made tn thc
rotnurl; of Mr. Tillman yesterdoy about"
the burning of negroes In Kansas. Mr.
Burton said that no one In Kansas
was proud of committing murder and
Mr. Tillman retoited:
"They preferred to murder them in
the I'hllippincs."
roinnientlug upon the edition laws
promulgated by tliu Philippine com
mlsslson, Mr. Tillman Inqulted of Mr.
Hoar whether the Springfield Itepubll
can, which ho said was opposed to the
Republican "Imperialistic policy" un
der tltoso laws would be permitted to
be eh ciliated Hi the Philippines,
"While I decllno to enter upon any
dlsseusslon of Massachusetts newspa
pers," said Mr. Hoar, "I will say In
the senator, If ho wants to Know my
opinion of tho i-ommlsslun'B order, that
1 thlnK It Is an abominable order,"
In conclusion, Mr. Tillman said ta-s
pending Philippine tariff bill, as a
proposition tit erect a tariff wall be
tween -the United States and unother
part of the domestic territory, was n
departute from every principle that
had brought this country to the pinna
cle of gicutne&s and made it the cyno
sure of the eyes of the world as the
land of the free and tho homo of tho
brave.
