Maryland Admire rs of sen ley Denounce
tW Preference Shown SampHOU Over
Schley, While Other Declare t'om
modore Watson I'nfhlrly Treated.
Washington. Jan. 24. The executive
session of the senate yesterday was de
voted wholly to the discussion of ths
promotion of Admirals Sampson ami
Schley and other naval ofBcori en
caged In the Santiago campaign over
the heads of ofHcers who were their
superiors in rank. The controversy
wus then postponed for 20 days, afier
a vote had been taken to call for the
records of the navy department bear
Ing upon the conduct of aii affected by
the advancement.
The discussion arose over the resolu
tion, of which Senator Butler was the
author, calling for these documents.
As originally offered it asked for the
reasons for the advancement, but the
resolution was modified so as to re
quest the record only. The first vote
was on a motion made by Senator Hale
to lay the resolution on the table, and
on this the yeas ami nays were taken,
resulting in 17 yeas to 35 nays. The
resolution was then allowed to pass
without further dlvlHlon.
For three hours previous to this, how
ever, the senate had been engaged In
a very unlmated verbal battle, which
involved ninny Intrlcucica and was par
ticipated in by a large number of sena
tors. The main contests were first over
the general policy of promoting these
Officer! over others who were char
acterized as quite as deserving though
less fortunate, in that they were de
prived of such active participation In
the war, and second as to the relative
merits of Sampson and Schley.
Senators (lorman and Wellington, of
Maryland, one a Republican and the
other u Democrat, united In a florid
attack upon the navy department for
favoring Sampson over Schley. While
Senators Lindsay. Pettlgrew, Perklnn
and Money attacked the whole system
of promotion an "a species of favorit
ism which was not warranted by the
facts." The inethoJ of the aiinlnltra
tlon was defended by Messrs. Hale,
Chandler and Lodge Senator Welling
ton was especially zealous in his ad
vocacy of the claims of Admiral Schley,
and in Ills presentation Of reasons why
Admiral Sampson should not be pre
ferred over him, and both he and Ma
Democratic colleague, Mr. !orman,
made the statement that if the official
papers were ordered they would dem
onstrate beyond a possible question the
fact that Schley, and not Sampson,
fought the battle of Santlaxo.
Senator IJndsay found much In the
promotion of both Schley and Sampson
over Commodore Watson to condemn.
He took occasion to praise Watson as
a man who would undoubtedly have
made a fine record In the war If given
the opportunity he should have had ai
a senior officer, and said that to de
prive him of his rightful rank because
other men were pressed to the front
and given the posts of honor was In
every way unfair and unworthy of a
great country. Senator Perkins, Sen
ator Piatt, of Connecticut, and Senator
Pettlgrew also criticised the system as
one liable to result In nnfalrnevs.
Senators Hale and Chandler, both
members tit the naval committee, de
fended the action of the navy depart
ment in giving preference to the men
who took upon themselves the brunt o'
the battle in Atlantic waters, and in
preferring the man who was In com
mand of the fleet. They deprecated
t1e opening up of a controversy, which
Senator Chandler said mlxht lead to a
condition which might prove as un
savory as that which the war Investi
gating commission has developed In
connection with the army beef con
tra etH.
During the presentation of this rtrte
much was said in upholding the claims
of Sampson in preference to those of
Schley, and the friends of the latter
officer were "warned that If they in
sisted upon pressing the Investigation
too closely some facts would be de
veloped that would not be agreeable
to them." The charge was made that
Schley had voluntarily left Santiago
after reaching the vicinity of that port
and after Cervera had entered the har
bor, and also the charge that when the
Spanish fleet had sailed out through
the narrow mouth of the channel Ad
miral (then commodore) Schley had
made a reverse movement with the
Brooklyn and had gone In a direction
opposite to that taken by the Spanish
squadron, Instead of boldly attacking
the enemy In the beginning.
The friends of Admiral Schley de
clared they had nothing to fear from
having all the facts known. Explain
ing his start to leave Santiago and his
refusal to obey department orders be
fore Sampson's arrival, they said that
It was because he had been unable to
coal at sea. When they were asked
how it had hoppened that they had
been able to coal 30 hours afterward
they replied that this was due to the
fact that a storm had given place to a
calm.

mi Kxtra B Boston,
Washington. Jan. 24. Although the
motion for an executive session wus
made by the chairman of thf commit
tee on foreign rwlatlons, the peace
treaty was not taken up In the sen
ate yesterday. The status of the
treaty as outlined by a member of the
committee who favors ratification Is.
The opponents claim to have 33 or $4
sure votes against the treaty. That
would defeat It. which would necessitate
an extra session. If there Is to be an
extra session the friends of the treaty
say they may as well take it over un-
rejected by this session. They do not j
propose to bring It to a vote unless tin y
are sure of ratification. An extra ses
sion, they say. will mean an extra ses
sion of the w hole congress unless a con
ditional appropriation Is made to pay
Spain the $20,000,000. or unless some
arrangement is made with Spain to ex
tend the time of payment three months.
It is believed that in view of the possi
bilities of an extra session unless t lie
treaty is ratified at this session the op
ponents will yield before adjournment,
as u very general desire Is expressed to
avoid an extra session.
