XEW YORK, Oct. 2. Admiral
Winfield Scott Schley, the popular
hero of the battle of Santiago, Cuba,
dropped dead on the street just as
he left the Xew York Yacht club
today. He will be given a full naval
funeral. He lived with his wife in
Washington, D. C.
Admiral Schley will bo buried in
Arlington Xational cemetery facing
the Lee monument in a lot not far
from that reserved for Admiral Dew
ev which faces the Potomac river.
Stirring Incidents Recalled.
Winfield Scott Schley was gradu
ated from the United States Xaval
academy in 1S00, was in many en
gagements in the civil war, was in
structor at the academy in 1S0G-C9
and after serving on the Asiatic sta
tion, returned to the academy. He
was connected with the Brazil sta
tion in 1876-79, and 1SS4 was in
command of the expedition which
brought Lieutenant Greely and six
others from Grinnel land. He was
promoted to commander in 1S74, be
come chief of the navy department
and recruiting bureau iu 18S5, and
captain in 1S8S. With J. R. Soley
he published the "Rescue of Greely"
in 1SS6. In 1S9S he was promoted
commodore and put in command of
the flying squadron on duty in Cub
an waters; blockaded Cervcra's fleet
in Santiago harbor and his squadron
united with that of Admiral Samp
son. He was in immediate command
at the destruction of that fleet July
3. Ho was promoted rear admiral in
August, 1S9S and was retired October
9, 1901. A controversy having arisen
between his friends and those of Ad
miral Sampson as to whom the credit
of the victory belonged, and his
bravery having been impugned, he
requested an inquiry into his con
duct. The majority report found him
guilty of vacillation, lack of enter
prise and disobedience, but Admiral
Dewey, one of the court, upheld him.
In Janaury, 1902, he appealed from
the verdict to President Roosevelt,
but the latter confirmed the approval
of the secretary of the navy and cen
sured Admiral Schley.
