“In many cases It Is not desirable
that the grass be exterminated, as It Is

Admiral Sampson upon the points In
controversy as oi result of the Santiago
campaign.

“Admiral, you have been severely
criticised of late for starting to 81-
boney on the morning of the. Santiago
battle. What woa’your reason for so
doing?" was asked.
"I went to fllboney upon the urgent
request of Major-General Shatter, who
had demanded a council of war. He
being ill at tho time, and moreover,
being senior to me, it wns Incumbent
.upon me to go to him. I chose the
time of day when it noemed least likely
that Cervera’e fleet would come out of
the harbor. Thlsopluon Is substantiat
ed by the fact that Cervera has be?n
severely criticis'd for choosing this In
opportune time, rather than wotting
until Just before dark, when he would
have had a time to scatter hls ships
with a good chance of rorao escaping

had dictated the message myself I
should have expressed the facta differ

to shift the responsibility for this mes

“As to the blockade 3chley had In

what a blockade should be?"
“Of course I was not an eye-wltnes3

“There Is a most Interesting and pre
