WASHINGTON, june 30-Orders have been
sent to the Pensacola. now at Callao. to re-
turn 10 the United States and repair at the Mare
Island California; navy-yard. Admiral McCann,
who is the commander-in-cfief OF the Sonth At
lantic, Will also come TO the United States by
steamer. The cause for the order is said 10 be
the necessity for repairing the Pensacola, one Of
the old WOODEN ships, and the need for the ser
vices Of one Of the two admiralS now in the
Sonth Pacia elsewhere. When the Chilean re-
beIlion broke out Admiral McCann was
with HIS command on the east coast
Of South America. by orders from the
Navy Department he hnstened around Cape Horn
with his flagship, the Pensacola, and repre-
sented the United States Government In Chilean
matters Admiral Brown was commander-n-
chief OF the Pacific squadron, but when he later
on reached Chill on tho San Francisco he was
subordinnted to Admiral McCann by reason Of
the seniority of the lnttor Therefore, Admiral
McCann's departure will leave Admiral Brown
I'm command of the san Francisco and the Balti-
more, now In the neighborhood of the insurgcnt
headauarters at Iquique. Admiral McCann was
not ordered 10 reioin his station with the Pensa-
cola for the reason that IL was feared that the
repairs Of the vessel might take long time, and
indeed there IL some doubt TO whether she
can he reftted for service within the cxpcndi-
ture authorized by law.
