Controversy Over Maclay's History Publications
The Army and Navy Journal published extracts from the third volume of Roger Stanton Maclay's The History of the United States Navy, sparking debate in naval circles. Critics question accuracy as Maclay, a Brooklyn Navy Yard clerk, faces scrutiny for his depiction of events surrounding the Spanish American War era.

Admiral Schley Deluged By Press Critics In Naval Inquiry
A long critical compendium accuses Admiral Schley of cowardice and evasive tactics during the Spanish American War. The text cites The New York Sun and Maclay, noting pressure on Congress and a proposed court of inquiry led by Admiral Dewey with a panel of senior officers. The Navy organizes a public, open inquiry with hundreds of witnesses and detailed travel expenses.
