Although no orders have been ssued dissolving tho
SUadron of Evolution there have been several changes
in ships and officers which suggest strongly that some
disposition Of the Chicago is to be made other than
that OF continuing her flag ship OF that squadron
Rumor has 1t that she is to be flag ship Of the North
Atlantic Squadron, to take the place OF the Phadel-
phia which is to be sent TO Germany with special
letter from President Harrison to Emperor William, and
that Rear Admiral Gherard is to be the bearer of this
important document This would take Admiral Cher
ardi from the United States, and his term of three
years sea service expires in February next, and he
would not probably return before then, the command
OF tho North Atlantic Squadron would probably be
given to some else, possibly ACTING Rear-Admral
John e. Walker in the meanwhile.
In the second week in September the torpedo boat
Cushing was detailed from tie Squadron Of Evolution
