The Brooklyn was steering a course diametrically opposite to that steered by the Spanish fleet, and ii was apparent that th.- original plan, to rush In upon the enemy as hfat squadron was emerging from the channel and sink it. had failed. The Spanish squadron had practically broken 'through and passed the battleship Hue. thereby creating t» new situation in the tight, and one that had to be mot at on-- to prevent their escape. A new dis- position, therefore, had to be made Instantly In order to meet the new condition after the failure of the first plan. Cook, under Ma general instruc- tions, bad perceived the situation and gave th* order "Hard apart anticipating by a few second* a similar order the commander of the second Squadron would have given. Flag Lieut) Sears was ordered to hoist signal. "Follow the flag, which Clark saw. obeyed ami repeated. The Brooklyn swims rapidly and continuously around to the westward through a little more than half her tactical diameter, to west-southwest— the full tactical diameter b»tng the diameter of the- circle she would have turned through if she had returned to the course northeast by north, from which she was started. The order to port the helm was not given by the commander of the Second Squadron, though it was the proper military manoeuvre under the circumstance*. It met with Ms approval, and saved the day beyond any doubt. Put observing that the Brooklyn's bow wan swing- ing rapidly to starboard, the Inquiry was made of Captain Cook whether the "helm was hard aport." The proximity of th" Brooklyn, at the time of the turn, to the second ship, afterward recognized as the Vlarays, Is remembered distinctly from the fact that a number of m.-n were running on her decks between th«- superstructure and her forward turret, and that daylight was observed by the naked eye betw*>»-n their legs as they ran. Tt'.r>- was no colloquy of any kind, or of any character, with any one at the time ok—at the turn, and none would have been permitted with any officer. That was one of many fictions thai grew up among others tdx or eleht months aftov th* fight Among them was the Texas Incident. That ship was never for a moment In the least danger from the Brooklyn During the turn h»r distance « 11 never nearer than five or «ix hundred yards from the Brooklyn. This extract Indicates the admiral's view of the pan played at the close of the battle by the New- York. The Brm-k!;.ii'?« nirnint; BBaaxeurrs in the buttle Is thus d.-s.-riti.'«l: 1 the commander < t the second squadron, whose flag. thus TffrntrV blockading lines, in accordance with ,< aval regulations, constituted the commander of the second squadron the senior officer present In C °Tlie la r n eguhUJons of the navy settle that beyond any doubt by fixing the responsibility of such offl- * -r when the service exigencies Impose such duties upon him Th«> unwritten customs for centuries for Koternlne or for. controlling auch matters have been %-fthered into a written code for the service cublnnce The theory upon which all military or- ganization i* based, whether a squad or a squadron. i- that no element of such organization ran ew be left without a responsible commander, ana no military exigency .an occur In war when such a force I* ever left without some one in control. The dates of commission held by officers is for the pur- pose of fixing this very question. The different gradation* in the non -commissioned, ranks are out the continuation of the line of command, In case the ravages of battle remove one after another in the commissioned grades. There must, he some one upon whom the responsibility of success or de- feat can be imposed. From a confidential document under the title. \u25a0Executive C. Third Session. l.Vth 1 \u25a0..T-nret.s." a communication by Mr. Long. respecting -advance- ment!! in the navy." it is seen that the commander in chiefs movements to Stboney on that morning were under orders from the department to meet General Shifter. This order then furnish** an ex- planation of the commander in chiefs, signal and subsequent movements eastward on July .*. 11 supplier, too. evidence of temporary jawigrmrni to II new duty. taking him on shore to the head- quarters of the army., It tlxes in, ..unstably, also, the status of the commander of tin- second squart- ron as senior officer present in command before Santiago after Samns<on's withdrawal. If the battle here related bad miscarried, or if through mismanagement Cervera or any off his ships had escaped thai day. there would have been no difficulty whatever about who was in command, or who would have had to bear the censure. It M as certain in that event that there would have been no effort to prove that the New- York was within signal distance, no claim that it eras a captains battle, nor any other of the sophistries that were Invented in the aftermath of controversy about this great victory. No instance is recalled where great success was won in battle where every participant was not anx- ious to share In the Rlory. but no instance is re- membered where any subordinate aver desired m share with his superior th>- odium -if defeat. San- tiago alone would be unique as one of the world's great battles won without anybody being in com- mand. If defeat hail occurred the commander of the second squadron would have had to take bis medicine just the same. \u25a0His (hen Review of the Santiago Controversy. • Admiral Bchl :\u25a0 tells in "Forty-five Years I'nder j the "Tag." published by D. Appleton * Co., the ! story of iii* ihirty-fivcyears' serried in the Ameri- can X.ivy. Many of the incidents of that Berrfco were stirring, among them the admiral's search for the survivors of the Grf-ely expedition and his ox- perience in Chilian waters at the lime of the as- \u25a0nult In Valparaiso on the Baltimore's sailors. But ! the chief Interest of the volume necessarily Bee in I it. discussion of the' disputes growing out of the Santiago naval campaign. The S'-hl«-y COM i* offi- cially closed; and public opinion dots not care to see It reopened. But the questions It involves 1 will have to be thrashed out some day by the impartial i historian, and it is to this future investigator that I Admiral Schlcj addresses his appeal from the find- i Ingi of th^ celebrated' Board of Inquiry. Although most of his story of the Santiago cam- paign has ii be. told through documents already j familiar, there la now and pointed comment riinogM j to show the range and quality of the udmiral'.-t i final defence In combating the court of Inquiry's : judgment that he should have maintained a mor«i ; effective blockade of Clc-nfuegos and should h;tv« : sailed more promptly to Santiago, he says: One who reads these dispatches [instructions, I etc.] impartially to-day cannot but be impressed , by them aa uncertain In tone and undecided in • information. With no knowledge whatever that a I system of signals had been agreed upon until May i-•»: with orders practically requiring the com- mander or the Flying Squadron to be satisfied be- for* sailing thai the Spanish squadron was not ; nt Cienfuegos; with what appeared to be m<>rt» i recent intelligence of the Movements of the Span- •-— * i squadron from the Adula's Information from . Jamaica; with the significant detention of that i vessel iii Cienfuegos after being permitted to en- ter; with the Implied doubt of the "probable"' presence of the Spanish squadron at Santiago, it is quite evident that the flying Squadron would not have been justified in leaving nenfuegoa any sooner than it did. It Is even more certain that It would have been a military mistake. in rtew of what was unknown of Cervera"! actual where- abouts at thai time! What was learned afterward definitely, and only through the operations or the Flying Squadron Itself, has been made use of t.i censure its com- mander, when It ousht to have been held. In any consideration of tin- equity of the question, that this knowledge acquired after the fact could not be used or justly applied to a situation unknown at the time to the commander. It could. be added at the same time that the only party who was not at the end of \u25a0 telegraph line, nor apparently In the secrets of the war. was the commander of th" Flying Squadron. His con- clusions had to be reached through .11 the doubts and surmises of those sending -him messages or orders, but who were In no sense nearly so certain then as they pretended to be after everything had been made plain for »he first time on May 2?, when • 'erverai fleet was definitely located by the Flying Squadron. 'The blockade of Cienfuegos was close «nd ef- fective, for no vessel nave the Adula ventured to pas* In or -.:i i.f the port while the Fying Squad- ron was before it. And none could have done so: .Six or eight months after every movement of Cervera bad been made-pUtin, the later reasoning of six or eight persons was to assume a i>erfect knowledge of his actual whereabouts, which th« dispatches, telegrams and orders of th» time do not sustain. To the impartial reader It must op- pear that Mr. Long ami Adfatrul Sampson were impressed alike thai CerVera'fi destination was (,'lenfuegos, na Ihe following telegram of May 23. ItM, would indicate: "The Information of the de- partment all goes to indicate the principal aim of th« Spanish Beet and government is to introduce a supply of ii'.mtitlons of war and of food to Blanco and Havana by Ctenfuegoa. This for your information." It la hardly Just to bring th.- commander of the Plying Squadron undei censure. «is was done, for believing the same thing rin that same day off rtenfuegos This, taken in connection with the order of May 21 from Sampson.

As to tie difficulties of coaling at «ea and the slowness »f the passage to Santiago, the admiral writes; There is abundant proof from the logbooks <«f the squadron thai the sea wa« rough, and the winds wt-re fresh. Which retarded the smaller vessels up to the time of I'-..- squadron arrival at Santiago. Coaling from a collier hi sea was simply impos- sible iinder the circumstances, and to nave at- tempted it would have been to invite disaster.

It admits th. acquiescence, of Admiral BaxnpsOn In th* view that coaling In the open sen off Santiago was uncertain, and even dangei and never to 1- depended upon If it had !>.-. M otherwise. It would be difficult to explain the reason for r.iiiiiK vessel* forty miles away to do what might have been done without risk on the blockade Discussing the rttrojjad* movement the. author says: The information, or formation, from the svoutii; taken with the strong possibility of th© truth of the Jamaica bulletins*: taken with the pos- sibilities that the Santiago telegrams of th» pres- ence of the Spanish nilkht well be ruses to draw the Plying Squadron from Its objective; taken with the implied doubt* ; - i ih<» orders of the commander in chief; taken with the uncertainty of Mr. Ijong's Information und the known fact 1 hat Sampson's fleet was at Cay Francis. In the Bahama Chan- nel \u25a0\u25a0' '\u25a0. anal of Havana, suggested the move to the westward 11 !• •"\u25a0' !\u25a0 m. on the night of May X, with the purpose in view of blocking the pass.m* to the westward to bar any effort of the enemy to reach Havana b.v a dash' through the Yucatan Passage in Samson's mr. The dispatch of May T>. from the commander of the Flying Squadron to the Secretary, "Much to be regretted, cannot obey orders -if the depart- ment; forced to proceed for coal to Key West, by way of the Yucatan Passage; cannot ascertain anything respecting enemy, positive, ajtc." did not reach the department until May is, on the evening of which day the squadron was before Santiago blockading. The weather having moderated and the "\u25a0•» having smoothed down permitted coal to be taken on board to equalize the steaming effi- ciency of two or three of the vessels, enabling them to continue with the squadron. Everybody knows, now. thai the enemy whs in Santiago Harbor; and everybody knows as well that, whether the Flying Squadron hud proceeded forty miles or four hundred miles. It roil have got back In time, us It did. for II Is now known thai the Spanish squadron coiilf! not leave the har- hor on account of the lack of iacl'ltlcs for getting coal and water and other needed supplies, and making necewarv repairs that were hardly within the capacity of th* Pol The outcry «i«»ut this movement to the westward wan not thought of until all the facts were subse- quently known about Cervera's division. It was not dreamed of while every one was In doubt. Even after the Spanish squadron was located th.- dispatch, dated June I, ISM, to Admiral Sampson would s,-»-iii to indicate that there was still sum* doubt about It. Its lav.l paragraph reads: "Are you sure all foul Spanish armored cruisers are at Santiago? six hundred marine*, Panther, started for you last evening, convoyed by Auxiliary No 596 ( Vosemite) " The whole theory of this tempest In a teapot «a-; hmlt upon what .might have happened, and not what actually did. The undisputed fact remains thai the Flying Squadron did locate, for the first time positively, the whereabouts of Cervera's squadron and It was a most Important factor after- ward In destroying absolutely this Spanish division in the battle later on, of July ,{, iv.»s The reconnoiaaance of May SI against the San- tiago batteries is thus dealt with: The reconnolssance, at whatever range settled deftnltel.x and for the first time two vital' points first, lhat Cervera's fleet was in Santiago and second, that the fortifications had some -\u0084,,,'| lonai range guns well placed and capab of Injuring the i ships on the blockading lines whenever the enemy desired to become aggressive. it was a perfectly Well known method In militaryoperations to ascer- tain the location of batteries and to test their strength from th« moment when gunpowder and guns became known In warfare. Why a \u0084,,m . mander £noutd be brought under censure tor ...t risking hI « ships or «he lives, of his men in *uch operations when the purpose to »,e earhed could be accomplished without doing either. Is another of the anomalies of this Incident On June 1 Admiral Sampson arrived off Santiago and. In the • *11 made upon him, the entire situa- tion was pxplaafed The Colon was i>ointed out and he wits thanked for his telegram of congratulation upon the.

Thai was owe feature at th- lan of ISS*. and the Democratic platform natiaaalal that It ' va " just and w.sr and -night not to be disturbed. Therefore, that subject is also taken out of the .issioti. ••Th- act of I*** contains another innova- tion, which was the imposition of a tax of one- ha^f of I per cent upon the value of railroad franchises-a sour.*- of revenue that has yielded •iurins the last twenty years Immense sums to the State ireasury. CO the relief of the general tdxpayer? of the State. The Democratic plat- form concedes that this provision ought to re- main undisturbed. The only remaining point an arMrgi any <-h*ng* In the law of I**4 Is sug- gested is as to the rate or rates to be imposed upon the tangible property, real and personal, of the railroads. The demand of their platform is that instead of being taxed as one <-omplet<* and rober*rit whole, railroads shall he cut up Into Bttoftg according to their length In. each mu- nicipality, the separate slice* valued by them- gsjvta, and the local tax rate Imposed thereon.

'"It•«!! ohvt«tis." Mr. (Mega said, in conclu- sion, "thai the modification demanded by the Demoerailo'pTat form' Is In The Interest almost ex- e&BoaVeiy of one locality, and that the remainder of the State' would noeooaorfly lose the benefit of- that money contributed ;.y the railroads In the form of taxation which this particular lo- cality secured t.y any change in the law. Still, Ifsuch a result Is just and (air. It ought to be done without regard to lo<:.l effect. JJut 1 can- not understand why a modification of a tax law which i;.-i,r-fltfi only a small section of the State should be magnified into aso-ealled great political IsFue. Let the subject be investigated, the figures studied, and then let whatever *e*-ms wljiest and best in the Interact of all .omen ed be done;. That is not likely to be done if the mutter Is approached from the « and point of a political caucus.

The Brooklyn was steering a course diametricallyopposite to that steered by the Spanish fleet, andii was apparent that th.- original plan, to rush Inupon the enemy as hfat squadron was emergingfrom the channel and sink it. had failed. TheSpanish squadron had practically broken 'throughand passed the battleship Hue. thereby creating t»

new situation in the tight, and one that had to bemot at on-- to prevent their escape. A new dis-position, therefore, had to be made Instantly Inorder to meet the new condition after the failureof the first plan. Cook, under Ma general instruc-tions, bad perceived the situation and gave th*order "Hard apart anticipating by a few second*a similar order the commander of the secondSquadron would have given. Flag Lieut) Searswas ordered to hoist signal. "Follow the flag,which Clark saw. obeyed ami repeated.

The Brooklyn swims rapidly and continuously

around to the westward through a little more thanhalf her tactical diameter, to west-southwest— thefull tactical diameter b»tng the diameter of the-circle she would have turned through if she hadreturned to the course northeast by north, fromwhich she was started. The order to port the helmwas not given by the commander of the SecondSquadron, though it was the proper militarymanoeuvre under the circumstance*. It met withMs approval, and saved the day beyond any doubt.Put observing that the Brooklyn's bow wan swing-

ing rapidly to starboard, the Inquiry was madeof Captain Cook whether the "helm was hardaport." The proximity of th" Brooklyn, at thetime of the turn, to the second ship, afterwardrecognized as the Vlarays, Is remembered distinctlyfrom the fact that a number of m.-n were runningon her decks between th«- superstructure and herforward turret, and that daylight was observed by

the naked eye betw*>»-n their legs as they ran.

Tt'.r>- was no colloquy of any kind, or of anycharacter, with any one at the time ok—at the turn,

and none would have been permitted with anyofficer. That was one of many fictions thai grew

up among others tdx or eleht months aftov th*fight Among them was the Texas Incident. Thatship was never for a moment In the least danger

from the Brooklyn During the turn h»r distance« 11 never nearer than five or «ix hundred yards

from the Brooklyn.

the status of the commander of tin- second squart-

through mismanagement Cervera or any off hisships had escaped thai day. there would have beenno difficulty whatever about who was in command,

or who would have had to bear the censure. It Mas certain in that event that there would have beenno effort to prove that the New-York was withinsignal distance, no claim that it eras a captainsbattle, nor any other of the sophistries that wereInvented in the aftermath of controversy about thisgreat victory.

No instance is recalled where great success waswon in battle where every participant was not anx-ious to share In the Rlory. but no instance is re-membered where any subordinate aver desired mshare with his superior th>- odium -if defeat. San-tiago alone would be unique as one of the world'sgreat battles won without anybody being in com-mand. If defeat hail occurred the commander of

the second squadron would have had to take bismedicine just the same.

\u25a0His (hen Review of the SantiagoControversy.•

Admiral Bchl :\u25a0 tells in "Forty-five Years I'nder

j the "Tag." published by D. Appleton * Co., the! story of iii* ihirty-fivcyears' serried in the Ameri-

can X.ivy. Many of the incidents of that Berrfcowere stirring, among them the admiral's search forthe survivors of the Grf-ely expedition and his ox-

perience in Chilian waters at the lime of the as-\u25a0nult In Valparaiso on the Baltimore's sailors. But

! the chief Interest of the volume necessarily Bee inI it. discussion of the' disputes growing out of the

Santiago naval campaign. The S'-hl«-y COM i*offi-cially closed; and public opinion dots not care to

see It reopened. But the questions It involves1 willhave to be thrashed out some day by the impartial

i historian, and it is to this future investigator thatIAdmiral Schlcj addresses his appeal from the find-i Ingi of th^ celebrated' Board of Inquiry.

Although most of his story of the Santiago cam-paign has ii be. told through documents already

j familiar, there la now and pointed comment riinogMj to show the range and quality of the udmiral'.-tifinal defence In combating the court of Inquiry's: judgment that he should have maintained a mor«i; effective blockade of Clc-nfuegos and should h;tv«: sailed more promptly to Santiago, he says:

One who reads these dispatches [instructions,Ietc.] impartially to-day cannot but be impressed, by them aa uncertain In tone and undecided in• information. With no knowledge whatever that aI system of signals had been agreed upon until Mayi-•»: with orders practically requiring the com-

mander or the Flying Squadron to be satisfied be-for* sailing thai the Spanish squadron was not

;nt Cienfuegos; with what appeared to be m<>rt»i recent intelligence of the Movements of the Span-•-— *

i squadron from the Adula's Information from. Jamaica; with the significant detention of thati vessel iii Cienfuegos after being permitted to en-

ter; with the Implied doubt of the "probable"'presence of the Spanish squadron at Santiago, itis quite evident that the flying Squadron wouldnot have been justified in leaving nenfuegoa anysooner than it did. It Is even more certain thatIt would have been a military mistake. in rtew ofwhat was unknown of Cervera"! actual where-abouts at thai time!

What was learned afterward definitely, and onlythrough the operations or the Flying SquadronItself, has been made use of t.i censure its com-mander, when It ousht to have been held. In anyconsideration of tin- equity of the question, thatthis knowledge acquired after the fact could notbe used or justly applied to a situation unknownat the time to the commander.It could. be added at the same time that the only

party who was not at the end of \u25a0 telegraph line,nor apparently In the secrets of the war. was thecommander of th" Flying Squadron. His con-clusions had to be reached through .11 the doubtsand surmises of those sending -him messages ororders, but who were In no sense nearly so certainthen as they pretended to be after everything hadbeen made plain for »he first time on May 2?, when•'erverai fleet was definitely located by the Flying

Squadron.'The blockade of Cienfuegos was close «nd ef-fective, for no vessel nave the Adula ventured topas* In or -.:i i.f the port while the Fying Squad-ron was before it. And none could have done so:

.Six or eight months after every movement ofCervera bad been made-pUtin, the later reasoningof six or eight persons was to assume a i>erfectknowledge of his actual whereabouts, which th«dispatches, telegrams and orders of th» time donot sustain. To the impartial reader It must op-pear that Mr. Long ami Adfatrul Sampson wereimpressed alike thai CerVera'fi destination was(,'lenfuegos, na Ihe following telegram of May 23.ItM, would indicate: "The Information of the de-partment all goes to indicate the principal aim ofth« Spanish Beet and government is to introducea supply of ii'.mtitlons of war and of food toBlanco and Havana by Ctenfuegoa. This for yourinformation."

It la hardly Just to bring th.- commander of thePlying Squadron undei censure. «is was done, forbelieving the same thing rin that same day offrtenfuegos This, taken in connection with theorder of May 21 from Sampson. In which be Said:"Spanish squadmn probably at Santiago. ... Ifyou .••\u25a0 satisfied thai they arc not at Cienfu«-K'>s.proceed." etc.. which was received on th^ sameday, May -" goen clearly to Impose si pjaln dis-cretion to set out fn.ni Clenfuegoa only wh»n satis-fied thnl Cervera was no! In that port.

Surely II sweeps away the certainty, pretendedafterward. of Cervera's presence, at thai time InSantiago, upon which nobody wan willing10 predi-cate jMisltlve orders!

As to tie difficulties of coaling at «ea and theslowness »f the passage to Santiago, the admiralwrites;

There is abundant proof from the logbooks <«f thesquadron thai the sea wa« rough, and the windswt-re fresh. Which retarded the smaller vessels upto the time of I'-..- squadron arrival at Santiago.Coaling from a collier hi sea was simply impos-sible iinder the circumstances, and to nave at-tempted it would have been to invite disaster. Somatter If th«r« f.a.i been D hundred thousand tonsof ( ".ii in colliers with the Plying Squadron. If Ifcould not by B'>t out of them it might as well havebeen in the ml:i.-.-«.

The choice •. t tiuantanamo Harbor for coalingafter June 1. wb«-n the \u25a0Q.uadrpna had he*n so aug-mented an To permit ships to bo withdrawn fromthe blockade without reducing the force remainingto nn Inferiority numerically to th* Spanish fleetheld In Santiago, sustains, every action taken bythe commander of the flying Squadron with re-spect to coal IMR at .«ea. It admits th. acquiescence,of Admiral BaxnpsOn In th* view that coaling In theopen sen off Santiago was uncertain, and evendangei and never to 1- depended upon If ithad !>.-. M otherwise. It would be difficult to explainthe reason for r.iiiiiK vessel* forty miles awayto do what might have been done without riskon the blockade

Discussing the rttrojjad* movement the. authorsays:

The information, or formation, from thesvoutii; taken with the strong possibility of th©truth of the Jamaica bulletins*: taken with the pos-sibilities that the Santiago telegrams of th» pres-ence of the Spanish nilkht well be ruses to drawthe Plying Squadron from Its objective; taken withthe implied doubt* ;

In the Bahama Chan-nel \u25a0\u25a0' '\u25a0. anal of Havana, suggested the move tothe westward 11 !• •"\u25a0' !\u25a0 m. on the night of May X,with the purpose in view of blocking the pass.m*to the westward to bar any effort of the enemyto reach Havana b.v a dash' through the YucatanPassage in Samson's mr.

The dispatch of May T>. from the commander ofthe Flying Squadron to the Secretary, "Much tobe regretted, cannot obey orders -if the depart-ment; forced to proceed for coal to Key West, byway of the Yucatan Passage; cannot ascertainanything respecting enemy, positive, ajtc." did notreach the department until May is, on the eveningof which day the squadron was before Santiagoblockading. The weather having moderated andthe "\u25a0•» having smoothed down permitted coal tobe taken on board to equalize the steaming effi-ciency of two or three of the vessels, enabling themto continue with the squadron.

Everybody knows, now. thai the enemy whs inSantiago Harbor; and everybody knows as wellthat, whether the Flying Squadron hud proceededforty miles or four hundred miles. It roil havegot back In time, us It did. for IIIs now knownthai the Spanish squadron coiilf! not leave the har-hor on account of the lack of iacl'ltlcs for gettingcoal and water and other needed supplies, andmaking necewarv repairs that were hardly withinthe capacity of th* Pol

The outcry «i«»ut this movement to the westwardwan not thought of until all the facts were subse-quently known about Cervera's division. It wasnot dreamed of while every one was In doubt.Even after the Spanish squadron was located th.-dispatch, dated June I, ISM, to Admiral Sampsonwould s,-»-iii to indicate that there was still sum*doubt about It. Its lav.l paragraph reads: "Areyou sure all foul Spanish armored cruisers are atSantiago? six hundred marine*, Panther, startedfor you last evening, convoyed by Auxiliary No

596 ( Vosemite)"

The whole theory of this tempest In a teapot «a-;hmlt upon what .might have happened, and notwhat actually did. The undisputed fact remainsthai the Flying Squadron did locate, for the firsttime positively, the whereabouts of Cervera'ssquadron and It was a most Important factor after-ward In destroying absolutely this Spanish divisionin the battle later on, of July ,{, iv.»s

The reconnoiaaance of May SI against the San-tiago batteries is thus dealt with:The reconnolssance, at whatever range settled

•iurins the last twenty years Immense sums to

the State ireasury. CO the relief of the general

form concedes that this provision ought to re-

main undisturbed. The only remaining point

an arMrgi any <-h*ng* In the law of I**4Is sug-

gested is as to the rate or rates to be imposed

upon the tangible property, real and personal,

of the railroads. The demand of their platform

is that instead of being taxed as one <-omplet<*

and rober*rit whole, railroads shall he cut up

Into Bttoftg according to their length In.each mu-nicipality, the separate slice* valued by them-gsjvta, and the local tax rate Imposed thereon.

In explanation of his personal relations at thattime with Admiral Sampson, the author says:

In that same spirit of generous fairness to sharethe honors and glories of that (real victory withnil who helped to achieve- It. •.... matter how littleIn decree, the telegram which follows was trans-mit...! th,. afternoon of thai day. through Admiral(tampson, to the Secretary of the Navy:

"Flagship Brooklyn•Off Santiago, Cuba, July 10. UH

-"Keel some mortification that th newspaper ac-

counts of July « have attributed victory on July'almost entirely to. me, Victory was secured by

the force under command commander in chief.

The ft_-hl having ended at 1:1.1 p. m.. a naturalInterest In the vfwls following prompted a surveyof th«» horizon with glasses. The masts o( twoships and the smoke only of a thin! were descriedaway on the horizon, I.at. the first two weredN.-over^d to he the Texas and the Vixen. T*j«third. whose smoke was visible, proved to be theNew-York, which arrived on the scene, at 2:i? p. m..one hour and eight minute* after the battle, hadended, If the New-York was making at that timethe speed of seventeen knots, as Captain Cliadwtckreported in hi* 1-tter dated July »\u25a0 1«*. to thecommander In chi»-f at UoantaMMfto. then at the• :11 .• of the Colon's surrender she couM not haveb«-eu nearer than about nineteen mll>o too far tobe within serins distance. :m<l to<i far away to byanywhere within signal distance when this greatbattle ended.

About the Incident of the undent telegram to

Washington Admiral Schley writes:Kr.>m tl>e «i>.r-.-,i made to »!•• Brooklyn, as »he

set out from Tarquino River, the purpose '* tt»«commander in chief to remain l>y the Colon, inorder <•• transfer her orew to the vessel left there,

was clear. Therefore. after th* duty assigned hadbeen completed. the Brooklyn proceeded to S.»r.-ti.igo. her |in>i>er station under the circumstances.Th»- absolute annihilation of th* Spanish squadron,with the capture of its entire person was ««>full of consequence and so Important to th.» nationM.m the. thought occurred that ll ought to becabled home, with the ad. led information that thecommander in chief was at the tin with th*Colon, but voulil transmit details Inter. on hisarrival.

With this td-a in view Fax Lieutenant JumesII Se.irs was sent to the cable station, at Biboney.with a telegram to that end. His instructionswen that Ifno message from, the admin an-nouncing the victory had been sent he was tosend the one he bore: but If rocfa message hadalready been sent he was to return without send-ing the one intrusted to him.

When Lieutenant Sears returned lie broughtback the above telegram and reported that he badmet Lieutenant Staunton on the beach with atelegram from the commander In chief, and hadaccompanied him to the cable station, at Biboney,nmi that, under the writer's Instructions, he hudnot sent the one intrusted to him.

When Mr. Staumon read the telegram, whichwas afterward so much criticised, Mr. Sear* sug-gested a correction in the time of the Colon's) sur-render, which occurred at 1:13 p. m.. Instead of 2p. m.. as was named in this dispatch. Sears alsosuggested that Kills, the only man killed in theAmerican squadron in the action, ought to be men-tioned, but these suggestion* were Ignored.

Commodore Watson, impressed alike with the.commander of 'he second squadron, felt that fh#victory was of such maKniture and Importance tothe nation that ha ought to transmit, as he dirtearlier In the day, a telesram.
