Schley in Court of Inquiry Split over Santiago Duty
The Schley court of inquiry report released in Washington on Friday night divides opinions. Admirals Benham and Ramsay condemn Schley on 11 points, while Admiral Dewey largely backs him, praising his command from Key West to Cienfuegos and Santiago and noting the blockade was effective. Dewey’s separate verdict defends Schley’s actions and credits him for the victory, with broad public support hinted and a congressional review likely.
