paring the seta and quoting from tba
reports of Admiral* Hauipson usd
tfcbley ou the light and eootlnulog :
•’ll la Indeed a wry great pity that
thwe ibould be any controversy over
a matter wtetelu the world baa given
oradlt where crtdll belongs It te In
deed a pity that Iheie should be any
oontroveray tb.t mil to discredit a
brave, honorable, and modest sen Bgbt
ar who successfully kd the American
foroea in one of th* aresteat, if nut Ibe
graateal naval bailie to tbe history of
the world. It ll Indeed a very great
pUr that lbs politicians sod bureau
crats having tbe favor of tbk adminis
tration should Insist upon discrediting
sod abusing a man who baa served bis
oonntry so faithfully as WmOsId Moot!
Sohley bis served the Hulled Stales nf
America.
"Admiral Sampson’-* If lends should
be aatlilUd with t be fast that ibrlr f«
vorlle obtained tbe priae money woo lu
a battle la which lie did not participate
sod that bis face le to grace a mods I
that U to com unmoral* a Ogbt In
which 110 did not take part. It ahosld
ba aodloloat for them .that Admiral
Schley baa oaeer made auy claim aa to
bio part lo tba grant battle lu Santiago
Bay; that be baa been cocleat for tbe
newspaper correspondents and otner
w I tor sal! to rise the f sola to the Amer
ican people. The difUculty 1* that thee*
statements bar* convinced the Amort
people that Schley waa llie real liero
of Uta day aud ontltled to nil tbe
honors at tba bands of a grateful peo
ple, area though be It denied tbe emol
uments Id the way of ptixa money aud
medals."
Bu rnt DBKUKCIATION OF 31ACLAY.
Mr. Bryan Is more bitter lo bis 4c
DauciaUon of Edward S. Maday. Af
ter tanning up bis record in the dory
Department sad refining lo bit criti
cism* of Admiral Schley aa "a tenor t
to the lowest form of abut* In dealing
with an historical ebaraetar.*’ Mr.
Bryan continues :
"Men distinguished as bistorlaos
are presumed to stole facts aud to state
them la stscb a way aa to impress upon
the readers tbe Impartiality of tbe
writer. Bat this most distinguished
llelng historian, shows that bo Is a par
tisan of tba partiaaus, aud tba observer
teJimtlBad in the suspicion that Mr.
Maelsy does not -entertain personal
malice toward Admiral tjehley other
men wbo did have that raallco bave en
gaged him as the medium for foul
slanders.
"It seems that this 'Boost distin
guished historian' 1* a clerk In I be
urooklsa Navy Yard. It la strange
that this navy yard deik has discovered
cowardice and geueral uuworthlaasa In
a mao whom the American people, re
gaidleaa of political prejudice, delight
to honor. It Is strange, that in spite
of the pnrslateat efforts to discredit the
Important part Admiral Schley played
lu tbe Santiago battle, the American
people have oome quite generally to
make him tba hero of that battle, ft
will be I o teres Hug to observe wbel
disposition tbe administration will
make of this navy yard clerk, oilier wise
kuowo as ‘tin moat distinguished liy
log American historian.' As « histo
torisu ba waadlaoredlted, not so mueb
by tbe ban placed by the Secretary of
