Among th, brlsl talk, made Ju t be-
fore the vote was a brllsf explanation
by Mr. Tillman of his course yesterday.
Ho said he had undertaken to d«lay the
proceedings of the senate because he had
been denied this right, as a senator and .
;v^ht^rh"had'udSn,Hm Are Moving With Renewed
view of ths adoption of the Spooner |
amendment. He woud otter no further
objection if the senate would consent
to his having published as a part of his
remarks all the bills and amendments on
the Nlcaraguan canal subject elnce 1891,
us he thought these would show that the
statement was a spjeculauvo one. The
condition was agreed to.
Mr. Pettlgrew slso mado a brief state-
ment, saying that while he was opposed
to the bill, he would not attempt to delay

THE SKNATK
Ulaeussps iho Conduct Of Samp-
sou and Schley at
Santiago.
Washington, Jan. 2*.—'The entire exec-
utlve session of ths senate today waa
devoted to ths discussion of the promo-
tion of Admlrsls Sampson and BcVey
and other naval officers engaged ln the
Santiago campaign, over the heads ot
officers who were thslr superiors In r*nk.
The controversy was then postponed for
twenty days after a vote had been taken
to call for the records of ths navy ds-
partment bearing upon ths conduct ot
all affected by the advancement.
The discussion arose over the resolu-
tion, of which Senator Butler was the
author, calling for these documents. As
•rlglnally offered lt aiked for the reasons
for the advancement but the reso utlon
was modified so as to require ths rccord
jonly.
Senator Wellington was especially ssul-
ous In his advocacy of the claims of
Admiral Schley, and In his presentation
of reasons why Admiral Sampson should
not bo preferred and both he and his
democratic colleague, Mr. Gorman, made
the statement that lf the official papers
were ordered they would demonstrate be-
yond a possible question th fact that
Schley, and not Sampson, fought the bat-
tle off Santiago. They contended thnt
with Sampson ten miles away he could
not be accredited constructively with
having command of the fleet on the
memorable day when the Spanish ves-
sels were sent to the bottom. On the
contrary, they held that Schley was
on the ground; he was the senior offi-
cer, and that he was engaged actively
and most effectively In the conflict all
the world knew, regardless of ths favora
>f the government at Washington.
Senator Lindsay found much In the pro-
motion of both 8chley and Sampson over
Commodore Watson to condemn. He
toon occasion to praise Watson as a man
who undoubtedly would have made a fine
record ln the war lf given ths oppor-
tunity he should have had as senior offl-
■or, and said thst to deprlvs him of hla
.lghtful rank while other men wsr«
preyed to the front and given the posta
,f honor which was ln every way unfair.
.Senator Perkins, Senator Piatt of Contu.
and Senator Pettlgrew, also criticised the
system as one liable to result In unfair-
o*h unless very cautiously entered upon,
i mil ng that at any rate the senate
nhould have the record that it might de-
ide for Itself as to the merits of the
nen so signally favored compared with
hose who had received none of the loaves
tnd fishes.
Senators Hale and Chandler, both mem-
bers of the naval committee, defended
me action of tne navy department In
;ivlng preference to the men who took
ipon themselves the brunt of the battle
n Atlantic waters and In preferring the
man who was In command of the fleet.
Phey deprecated the opening up of a con-
croversy which Senator Chandler said
night lead to a condition which might
irove as unsavory as that which the war
nvestlgatlng commission had developed
in connection with the army beef con-
It racts.
Senator Lodge Joined ln deploring this
•ollcy, and, owing to the fact that he
lad but recently. In the Interest of private
. search, made an exhaustive investl*a-
ion, he was enabled to throw much light
ipon the controversy ln behalf of the
(.mention that the controversy should
not be stirred.
During the presentation of this side
much was said In upholding the claims
,f Sampson In preference to those of
Schley and the friends of the latter offl-
er were warned that If they Insisted
in pressing the Investigating too closely,
some facts would be developed that
would not be agreeable to them.
The charge was made hat Schley had
voluntarily left Santiago after reaching
ihe vicinity of that port, and after Cer-
.era had entered the harbor and also the
charge that when the Spanish fleet hafl
sailed out through the narrow mouth of
the channel Admiral Schley had maCe a
reverse movement with the Brooklyn and
(r0ne In a direction opposite to that tale-
en by the Spanish squadron Instead of
bodly atacklng the enemy in the begin-
ning. it waa asserted that these facts
were among those which the archlevea
would reveal.
The friends of Admiral Bchley declar-
ed they had nothing to fear from having
il the facts known. Expalnlng his start
to leave Santiago and his refusal to obey
department orders before Sampson s ar-
rival, they said that It was because he
had been unable to coal at sea. When
they were asked how It had happened
that he had peen able to coal thlrty-elx
hours afterwards they replied that this
wasdue to the fact tha a sorm had given
place to calm.
Senators Lindsay and Pettlgrew. who
were not standing for either Sampson or
Schley, made the point that these devel-
opments had merely emphasised the rca^
sons why the senate should be put Into
possesusion of all the fact, before vot-
am not the champion of either «f
these officers." said Mr. Pettlgraw, "'and
lf Schley ran away from the enemy or
showed a disposition to do so I want to
know It."
After the decision to Bend the record,
was arrived at. there waa a general un-
derstandlng that the whole matter ahould
be postponed long enough to permit no-
tion by both houses upown the naval
committees bill providing lhat theao pro-
motions "shall no interfere with the pro-
molon of officer, otherwise entitled to
promotion."
The subsequent effort of the senate in
open session to pas, this bill was tha
result of the agreement.
During the debate the fact was brought
