ADMIRAL SCHLEY DIES HERO OP SANTIAGO DROPS DEAD IN NEW YORK. Career of Man Who Smashed Spanish Fleet Is Closed in Tragic Manner. New York. Rear Admiral Schley , hero of the battle of Santiago , dropped dead from apoplexy on the street here. His death came just a week after the publication of advanced sheets of Admiral F. E. Chadwick's history of the Spanish-American war , in which Schley is completely exon erated for making the famous "loop , " that "loop" now being shown as the "brilliant maneuver" of the battle , and the maneuver that accomplished the defeat of the Spanish fleet. Schley was apparently In perfect health a short time before he fell upon the street on Fifth avenue and Forty-fourth street and died before a doctor could be summoned. Admiral Schley , the 'man who smashed the Spanish fleet at Santiago , was one of the leading figures in the American navy for a generation. He was born in Frederick county , Mary land , in 1839. After graduating at An napolis in I860 and serving during the Civil war in minor capacities , he was commissioned In 1866 as lieu tenant commander. In 1884 he volunteered for and was placed in command of the expedition sent to search the north polar region for Lieutenant ( now Rear Admiral ) Greely , and his companions , who had been lost from civilization for nearly two years , and the finding of them in a state of exhaustion and about to die constituted one of the dramatic Incidents in arctic exploration.
