JEALOUS ADMIRALS.
WAsHINGToN, Aug l3.-A plan
has been discussed by officials at the
navy department that would, in a
small measure, supply the need foI
more ships in the Snn,h Atlantic
and China. II is suggested that IL
the Charleston. Marion, and Aler
will go to China, Admiral Belknap,
who Is desirous of remaining oi
that station, could take the Charles
ton for his flagship and stay tberr
while the Lancaster, carrying ou
Admiral Harmony to China, by way
OF Rio Janeiro and the Cape Of Good
Hope. could be stopped at Rio and |
become the flagship Of the South |
Atlantic station. Then II three or
four ships were sent to the Pacific |
10 replace the Charleston, Marion,
and Alert, there would be no need |
OF further decreasing the force in the
North Atlantic unless 1t were
thought necessary to send one or
two vessels to Europe. Criticism 81 |
the present gathering of ships ia
the North Atlantic at the expense of
depicting other stations where ships
are badly needed, does not imply |
criticism Of the policy of conduct
ing the naval manmuvers. On the
contrary, If all the ships in the
North Atlantic were engaged in the
man9uvers, they could be made
just as valuable and less open to
criticisms; but the rivalry between
the two admirals was 30 bitter that
the department gave up the original
Intention VI having combined ma
nmuvers, aud allowed Admiral
Gherardl to take his ships TO Hall
fax, out Of the way of the squadron
of evolution, and the four ships
under his command haye nothing to
do. Many naval officers see no rea-
son why the two squadrons should
not be merged into one, and why
one of the admirals, and at least as
many OF the ships as are now idle,
might not be given something use
ful 10 do In some other part Of the
world where they are badly needed.
