The: Sampson-Schley incident may
be regarded! ,asj closed for the ,preseni,
so far as the administration is coni
cerned, by . the, announcement from
Washington.' that both .officers will be
promoted to the grade of read admiral.
If, however,! the promotion -is of such
a characters that! Sampson will out
rank Schley, even only by one or two
numbersl it is probable that the ques
tion wall he reopened whenTcongress
. &eets alnd the controversy which has
oeen wagea in tne newspapers will be
renewed on the floor of the senate.
When-Secretary Long,' a few days ago,
made : public a letter which he had
written in defense of Acting Rear Ad"
miral Sampson notice was then served
in an vofficiaL manner that Sampson was
recokized by the administration as
entitle in larger measure than any of
his subordinates to the: credit for the
destruction I of Cervera's squadron.
Captain Mahan, a member of the naval
strategy (board, also published an elab
orate argumerfCto show that Sampson
had-fairly Earned, the distinction of
greeting the operations which culmV?
-Bated in the naval victory off Santiago,
and that a i grave injustice would be
done if he Was stripped of any of thie
glory: of, tht gieat triumph. These
'ere signifiteant statements, showing
fnmistakably the" drift; of opinion in
Administration circles, and that Samp
Son has strqng and influenciaj. friends
in the inner circles of the navy de
partment is! conclusively demonstrat-.
ed by the fact that his promotion wili
enable him to outrank Schley, although
Jotih will bo fear admirals. ,
: . The: controversy over the relative
meifitsi of; Commodore Schley and Act
ing Bear Admiral Sampson; has ' been
oHaf !'acrimonious character and -has,
de;Veloped more bitterness .possibly:
thiut the circumstances - warranted.!
Conmodore -Schley has; reason to feel
roUdi of the generous recognition of
il service which has .come spontan:
ously frpm every) part of the country.
Wfth;the exception of some newspa
iefg and individuals who seemed to
erd it! as i a reflection upon the ad
ministration; to give .praise to any
tner ,' officer than Acting Rear Ad
miral Sampsion, the press of the couni
tryflias been almost a unit in recog
nizing the value of Commodore Schley's
strlice and his right to share the hon
of the victory on even terms with
tie commander of the fleet., Unfor
ttnately, however, the -character of
A4i"niral Sampson's report .was such
tvilfc gome of a Commodore Schley's most
screet advocates hive transcended
trdper bounds in condejmning the'cbm
niahder of the fleet for; minimizing, as
t3i,y charge, the. magnificent work of
liJSS subordinates : in order that ne
riilfht'pose as the central figure of the
bilriorable naval engagement of July
Sijoff Santiago. ' Undoubtedly Commo
Ifpie Schley would have discountenance
