It was the man who shattered to shreds the pride of the Spanish navy who yesterday dropped dead in New York city yesterday. It was Schley, in sole command who blocked the dash of the Don fleet from Santiago on July 2, 1898. His victory was almost as sudden as his own death. His memory will live as the one big naval hero of America’s most modern war. ‘Winfield Scott Schley was born in Frederick County, Maryland, October 9, 1839, the son of John Thomas and Georgiana Virginia Schley. He en- tered the Naval Academy at Annapo- lis September 20, 1856, and gradu- ated in 1860. During the following year he served on the frigate “Nia- gara.” In 1861, he was promoted to the rank of “master” and attached to the frigate “Potomac,” which was serving as storeship at Ship Island. In 1862-3 he was on the steam gun- boat “Winona,” of the west gulf blockading squadron and had an en- gagement with a field battery near Port Huron, La., December 14, 1862. From March 16 to July 19, 1863, he took ‘part in many of the engage- ments preceeding the capture of Port Hudson, part of the time on the “Wi- nona,” and again on the “Mononga- hela” and the “Richmond.” On July 16, 1862, he was commis- sioned lieutenant. During the years from 1864 to 1866 he served on the “Wateree,” a steam gunboat of the Pacific squadron and distinguished i himself in 1865, during the .insurrec- tion of the Chinese coolies on Middle Chincha Islands. In the same year he was at LaUnion San Salvador, to protect the American interests dur- (ing the revolution in that country. jHe Dbecame lieutenant-commander [ July 25, 1866, and acted as instruc- itor in languages at Annapolis from 11867 to 1869. In 1870 he was as- signed to the “Benicia,” third rate, 1and with that ship spent three years at the China station. He saw some sharp fighting in June, 1871, during the capture of the Corean forts on the Sulee river, leading the assault- i i { {ing column. From 1873 to 1876 he was again at the Naval Academy, being appointed commander June 10, 1874. In 1877 he commanded the “Essex,” third rate, at the South American station. From 1880 to 1883 he was light- house inspector at Boston, attached to the bureau of equipment in 1883, and in 1884 was placed in command of a relief expedition sent to the Arctic regions to search for Lieut. Greely and his companions. Two former expeditions sent out for that purpose had failed. Command- er Schley’s expedition sailed from St. John's, Newfoundland, May 12, 1884, with the three steamwhalers “The- tis,” “Bear” and “Alert.” After a dangerous trip across the ice pack Commander Schley and his men reached the camp of the survivors of the Greely expedition. became They found seven survivors who were on the verge of starvation and brought them and the bodies of nine victims, who had perished before the arrival of the rescuing party, safely back to the ships. The expedition returned to St. John’s on July 16 of the same year. The legislature of Maryland gave Commander Schley a vote of thanks and presented him with a The Mas- Society awarded him 4 gold medal of the first class.

From 1885 to 1889 Mr. Schley was i chief of the bureau of equipment and was named Schley- recruiting, and was appointed cap- 1888.

He was made lighthouse inspector in 1892 and from 1895 |commanded the armored -cruiser “New York,” the flagship of the North Atlantic squadron, until in He was also com- March, 1897, when he became chair- man of the lighthouse board. He was made commodore in February, 1898. Previous to the outbreak of the Spanish-American war Commodore | Schley was ordered on the “Brook- lyn” and given command of the “fly- ing squadron.” It was his quadron which located the Spanish fleet at i Santiago on May 29, 1898, blocked the harbor. On the morn- jing of July 2, 1898, Admiral Samp- son, who was the superior in com- mand, departed for Siborey, leaving Schley in full command of the fleet on board of the flagship. and Scarcely one hour after the admiral’s depar- ture the Spanish fleet emerged from its sheltering harbor. Commodore Schley directed the battle which fol- lowed and which ended with the com- plete destruction of the Spanish fleet. Admiral Sampson did not return to the “New York” until that after- noon. He resumed command and af- terward claimed the credit for the victory. Schley’s action in the bat- tle was made the subject of an in- vestigation, but the experts found his action fully justified and public opinion gave Schley all credit due to him. ‘While on the waiting list after his !remember we all should work fer, ithe irate matron. tour ’ot the country and was feted and overwhelmed with honors every- where. He was made rear-admiral March 3, 1899, and from November 9, of that year was in command of the South Atlantic station until Oc- tober 9, 1901, when he was placed upon the retired list, having at- tained the age of sixty-two years.
