If Sampson was as anxioms to grab the property of Spaniards as' he l to seize things which belong*' to Americans, he would probably m ke a good reeord before tne end of the war. But now reports come to hand that he is jealous of the army and is delaying Miles' departure for Porto Rico.” If th's report is true, Secretary Long should grab Sampson and put some one m hit* place who is patriotic, dashing and broad minded. Commodore Schley is that kind of a mao, and has bravely earned the title of admiral, Heroic Schley. After Schley had smashed Cervera’s fleet, it was suggtsted to Sampson by the war board at Washington that the admiral sho’d take his fleet into Santiago harbor. Sampson replied that in his opinion the task was too dangerous, and that to attempt it would be foolhardy. Schley wanted to enter the harbor when he bottled Cervera, b«iji orders from Washington prevented ihe bold commodore from doing as his experience and courage prompted. Now that Santiago has fallen it appears that Sohley was right and Sampson wa« wrong. An inspect tion of the torts and batteries has shown them to be incapable or much war work of modern kinds. Some of the guns were unprotected even by earthworks. Morro Castle vas formidable only in appearance There was “not a gun mounted within or on its crumb ling walls.” Referring to this matter the New York World says: “It s discovered now th t there were do defenses—either forts or mines—that could have prevented Schley from entering the harbor at the beginmng, destroying Ce.vera theieQind capturirgtqevery thing that the army ou shore has 1 ad to capture at so great a cost of life.” Again has Sohley been vindioaU ed as to his judgment. Not only is his the honor of discov ring Cervera’s hiding place, of destroyj iDg the Spanish fleet when it en deavored to escape, but of preoar iug a plan to capture the city and the ships without the aid of the army, which .vents show he could have successfully accomplished. Sampson, ly grace of political pud is admiral of the fleet, but Schley by popular consent is the naval hero of Santiago.
