Admiral Enslish's Transfer.

WHY HIS UR(iE THE REVOCATION OF
SECRETARY CHANDELIERS ORDER.
AS stated in yesterdays STAR, the friends of
Rear Admiral English are making strong efforts
to induce the Secretary of the Navy to revoke
the orders which will deprive him of the plea
sures of the European station and send him to
the less desirable South Atlantic station. The
retired naval officers, resident in this city, have
interested themselves in the matter and the
delegation which waited upon Secretary Whit
ney was composed mostly of retired admirals
and commodores accompanied by Mr.. S. v.
Niles as counsel. They claimed, it is under
stood, that Secretary Chandler was actuated by
personal motives in relieving Admiral English,
which were unjust. Vice President Hendricks,
who is visiting Mr.. Niles, is also active in Ad-
miral English's behalf. At the Navy depart
ment 1t is stated that there is much more need
of q flag ship and flag officer on the South At
lantic station than on the European, as there is
much more danger OF uprisings and revolutions
there The Lancaster by leaving for the South
atlantic after the completion of the visit to the
Congo country will arrive two or three months
sooner than the Pensacola could in sailing from
New York. Besides, it is stated that it is con-
sidered good policy to change the vessels on
the oinerent stations as much as possible.
