Schley’s Appeal Fails of Purpose in Navy Inquiry
Washington notes that President McKinley reviewed Admiral Schley and Sampson appeals, reports, and testimonies on the Santiago campaign. The court found proper justice overall, condemned Schley’s retrograde blockade move, and held command credit largely nominal with Sampson in charge. Schley’s appeal centers on disputed leadership credit rather than the battle actions.

Still Talking of Wheeler and Merger in Congress
Washington on February 20 featured a lively debate on the Indian appropriation bill with Mr Wheeler of Kentucky drawing critical attention. Illinois Republican Mr Boutell delivered the sharpest wit while tracing Wheeler’s "truculent sycophancy" amid discussions on American shipping and Philippine policy. In a separate move, Attorney General Knox announced plans to challenge the Northern Pacific and Great Northern merger through the Northern Securities deal with a bill filed soon for dissolution in equity. Defendants include the Northern Securities Company, J Pierpont Morgan, James J Hill, and their associates, with a Minnesota venue likely for the suit.

Still in Captivity and Miss Stone Updates
Reports from Constantinople state the release of Miss Stone is unfounded though a release is expected soon. The US state department notes the Paris claim of liberty is premature and delays stem from brigands seeking safety. A separate dispatch says Turks have not accepted responsibility for the delay.
