The censure imposed by the President's direction on General Miles is called forth by an interview on the Schley court and its findings. Mr. Maclay is the historian of the Navy whose accusations of ‘'caitiff” conduct against Rear-Admiral Schley caused the rumpus which resulted in the court of inquiry. General Mile* was reprimanded in accordance with the wishes of the President in a letter sent by Secretary Root As a matter of fact General Miles has had two reprimands.
