Stenie left two days ago, hoping to get a commission on the staff of General Lee.

So yesterday Scovel told me Long had cabled in answer to The Herald's protests to the admiral as follows: "Complaints have been received that correspondents Paine, Remington and Bonsal are with the squadron.

Send them ashore at once.
There must be no favoritism." Scovel got the admiral at once to cable Long on his behalf because of his services as a spy, but as Roosevelt had done so much for me, I would not appeal over him, and this morning I sent in word to the admiral that I was leaving the ship and would like to pay my respects.
Sampson is a thin man with a gray beard.

He looks like a college professor and has very fine, gentle eyes.

He asked me why I meant to leave the ship, and I said I had heard one of the torpedo boats was going to Key West, and I thought I would go with her if he would allow it.
