NOT ALTcGETHER PLEASURE TRIP.
1t is said at the Navy department that Secretary
Chambers cruise in the Talapoosa Is not entirely
pleasure trip. as is generally supposed but that
he is combining business with pleasure. One OF
the objects OF his cruise was to visit Admiral
Cooper, at Portland, Me-, who recently returned In
the flag ship Tennessee from an important visit to
Venezuela In addition to this the Secretary de-
sired to see about matters connect ID with the fish,
ing banks, and undoubtedly communicated with
other vessels OF the North Atlantic squadron which
are now cruising for Information regarding the
fishing interests. The Secretary is kept well in
formed upon department matters, and every order
or change Of Importance is done upon Instructions
from him.
1t will be remembered that when yellow fever
made its appearance in Pensacola Surgeon Owen
was among the first attacked. Assistant Surgeon
Martin was ordered there from New Orleans, but
one naval surgeon could not perform all the du-
ties required. Permission Was asked to employ
the services OF civilian physician, but as he
asked 500 per day for thirty days Commodore
English, Acting Secretary OF the Navy, authorized
his employment only temporarily, until word was
received from the Secretary. Word came from the
Secretary almost Immediately declining to pay
such price, and the services Of the high-priced
civilian were dispensed with after having been
rendered only day or two Passed Assistant
