PRESIDENT BESIDES
IN SO:LET’S APPEAL
Neither He Nor Sampsoa De
serve Special Credit.
BROOKLYN’S LOOP GRAVE ERROR
Carring That, the President Says
Schley Did Well, but Sampson Was
Technically In Command—He Con-
skiers Watawright’s Act Heroic.
Washington, Feb. 20.—The decision
of President Boosevelt on the appeal
of Rear Admiral Schley was given to
the press last night.
The salient features at the presi-
flent’s decision In the case follow:
All the accusations against Schley,
based on his conduct prior to the bat
tle of Santiago, are thrown out. The
president holds tfiat if Admiral Schley
erred during that period his offenses
were condoned by his retention as sec
ond in command.
On the question of command the
president says:
“Technically, Sampson commanded
the fleet .and Schley, as usual, the
western division. The actual fact is
that after the battle was joined not a
helm was shifted, not a gun was fired,
not a pound of steam was put on in
the engine room aboard any ship ac
tively engaged in obedience to the or
der of either Sampson or Schley, save
on their own two vessels. It was a
captain’s fight."
Sampson was hardly more than
technically in the fight His only claim
for credit rests upon his work as
commander in chief in planning to
meet the Spanish ships when they
should come out.
Schley is entitled, as Is Captain
Cook, to the credit for what the Brook
lyn did in the fight. On the whole, the
president finds that the Brooklyn did
well, though he considers the vessel’s
“loop” the “one grave mistake” made
by any American ship during the bat
tie.
The president considers that the
most striking act of battle was that
of the Gloucester, whose commander,
Wainwright, pushed into the fight
through a hail of projectiles in order
that he might do his part in destroy
ing the two torpedo boats. For this
conduct Wainwright was entitled to
receive more than any other com
mander with the possible exception of
Clark, of the Oregon.
It was just to Admiral Sampson that
he should receive a greater advance
In numbers than Admiral Schley.
There was nothing done in the battle
that warranted any unusual reward
for either.
There Is no excuse whatever from
either side for any further agitation of
this unhappy controversy. To keep it
alive would merely do damage to the
navy and to the country.
INDIANS DON WAR PAINT.
Armed dnahes Threatened to Apply
Torch to Town*.
Holdenvllle, I. T., Feb. 20.—About
20 armed Snake Indians threatened
to burn Holdenvllle Wednesday, and
Marshal Kaase, learning of their in
tention. placed a large number of dep
uties on guard to protect the city.
While there were some demonstra
tions nothing was done. It tea been
known for some time thaf the Snakes
are incensed at the spnnging op of
new towns all over the Creak nation,
and It is feared that serious trouble
will be the outcome.
Mounds and Beggs, new towns along
the line of the ’Frisco, were threatened
also, but they were too well guarded
and an attack was not made.
The Snake Indians seem to be de
termined not to give up their country
ft law and order without strentuMjs
resistance.
United States Marshal Bemvett, of
Muskogee, has ordered the arrest of
all armed Snake Indians.

Practical Indorsement of Same—The
Rights of American Citizens Will Be
Jealousy Guarded—Hay’s Note
Creates Sensation In Peking.
Chicago, Feb. 20.—The Tribune to
day prints the following cablegram
from Peking, China, under date of
Feb. 18:
A sensation was caused in diplomat
ic circles here today when It became
known that the United States, through
Secretary of State John Hay had sent
a note to the Russian and Chinese
governments following closely along
the lines of the Anglo-Japanese treaty
of Jan. 30.
The note to a distinct warning to
both China and Russia that the United
States will not permit the Integrity of
the empire to be molested in favor of
one nation to the detriment of an
other.
The note, which practically indorses
the English treaty with Japan says:
“Washington, Feb. 1.—An agree
ment whereby China gives any corpo
ration or company the exclusive right
or privilege of opening mines, estab
lishing railroads or any other way In
dustrially developing Manchuria can
but be viewed with the gravest con
cern by the government of the United
States.
“It constitutes a monopoly which ia
a distinct breach of the stipulations
of the treaties concluded between Chi
na and foreign powers, and thereby se
riously affects the rights of American
citizens.
“It restricts their rightful trade, ex
posing it to being discriminated
against, interfered with or otherwise
jeopardized, and strongly tends to per
manently impairing China's sovereign
rights in this part of the empire, while
it seriously interferes with her ability
to meet her international obligations.
“Furthermore, such a concession on
China’s part would undoubtedly be fol
lowed by demands from other powers
for similar equal extensive advantages
elsewhere in the Chinese empire, and
the inevitable resr.lt must be- the com
plete wreck of the policy of absolute
equality of treatment to all nations
respecting trade, navigation and com
me roe within the empire’s confines.
“On the other hand, the attainment
by one power of such exclusive privi
leges for the commercial organizations
of its nationality conflicts with the as
surances repeatedly conveyed to this
government by the Imperial Russian
ministry of foreign affairs of the impe
rial government's intention to follow
the policy of the open door as advo
cated by tbe government of the United
Statee and accepted by all tb,e treaty
pavers having commercial interests
in the empire.
“It Is for these reasons fhat the
government of the United States now,
as formerly, animated by the sincerest
desire of insuring to the whole world
the benefits of full and fair intercourse
between China and the nations on a
footing of equal rights and advantages
to all, submits the above to the earn
est consideration ‘jI the imperial gov
ernments of China and Russia, confi
dent that they will give due weight to
its Importance and that they will adopt
such measures as will relieve the just
and natural anxiety of the United
States.”
