JOGGLED Wim THE Mil THE PRESIDENT INVESTIGATING Falsehood Told Says Schley Clarke and Cook Only Wltnettea Whose Stories Hang Together, The President hns undertaken the herculean task of finding out why so many of the naval officers who testi fied before the Schley court of In quiry told stories of the bnttlc of Santlngo and events preceding that enagemcnt that do not agree with those told by Captain Clark of the Oregon and Captain Cook of the Brooklyn. About the only stories that hang well together are those told by the men who were really In the bat tle. Kach of the chief officers has been directed by the President to write him ft letter to explain, tf he ran. why this disagreement as to things ought to have been patent to all who had eyes or ears. The Presi dent Is trying to find out tho truth. Like many other Americans, he be lieves there was much misappropria tion of facts at the court of inquiry, and he wants to satisfy himself as to who was telling the full truth. The conflicts In the testimony are, It Is understood, pointed out very clearly In the argument that Is made by At torney Rayner In support of Admiral Schley's appeal to the President. It Is alBo understood that when the Pres ident and the Admiral had their Inter view the question of conflicting state ments was very thoroughly discussed, and the Admlrnl branded mnny of the statements as bald falsehoods. These falsehoods Attorney Raynor did not undertake to show up aB false. A fear of offending caste prejudice pre vented Rnyner Impeaching the veracity of witnpsess. He did not want to arouse the prejudice of the Admirals, as he would have done, had he handled somo of the witnesses as they would have been treated In a civil court. Tho President need not re strain himself on that score, hence his endeavor to learn the truth. All the material he has gathered and Is gathering Is for tho purpose of getting light cn the question whether there is really a conspiracy against Admiral Schley. VICTIMS OF CRIB.
