their arrival in Hawaii the United States ship
Mohcan will be made the flagship of the Pacific
squadron relieving the Philadelphia, which will Inn

ordering OF the Ranger and Mohican to the relief
OF the Philadelphia Is said to be due TO the fact
that President Cleveland desires to concentrate
all available ships OF the Pacific squadron in Ha-
waian waters. and the combined crews OF the
Ranger and Mohican would enable the landing Of
a larger marine force than that OF the Philadel-
