SCHLEY CLAIMS THE GLORY.

Telia of Battle Off Santiago at a Banquet Tendered Him. Admiral Schley’s speech at the Brooklyn Club banquet descriptive of the naval battle of Santiago has caused somewhat of a sensation. The Brooklyn Club gave the banquet in Admiral Schley’s honor, and the famous sea warrior seized the opportunity to emphasize the fact that it was he and he alone who was in command when the American battleships off the harbor of Santiago destroyed Cervera’s fleet. This being the first time that Admiral Schley has claimed all the glory of this famous victory, a great deal of comment has been caused by it.
