In speaking of the finding of the Schley court of inquiry Sen. Miles said: “I am willing to taka the judg- incut of Admiral Dewey in the matter. He was a commander of a fleet, and as such, has kuown the anxieties aud responsibilities whiobreston a man under thsse circumstances. He was iuetrn mental in the destruction of one Spanish fleet, and knows and rea lizes the feelings that encompass an officer under such conditions. “1 think Dewey baeeummed np the matter in a clear and concise manner, and I believe bis conclu sions will be indorsed by the pa triotic people of the United States,. I have no sympathy with the efforts which have ; been made to destroy the honor of an officer un der such circumstances.” Scbley Appeals to Congress.
