EULATE COMMENDS SCHLEY.
Vizcaya's Commander Says Brooklyn's "Loop" Was Proper.
NEW YORK, July 27.- Captain Eulate, who commanded the Vizcaya at Santiago; in a cabled reply to a request from the Journal and Advertiser as to his opinion of Rear Admiral Schley's maneuvers in the battle of Santiago, says:
"As a gentleman I can't appreciate any maneuvers of the Brooklyn in the battle on the 3rd of July in front of Santiago as an act of cowardice. This maneuver, considering the position of the other American ships, which were attacking the Vizcaya by the stern and quarter, was a proper one."
