suggested the necessity Of narrowing
the limits of the Pacific station and
il has been concluded to divide il
into two parts. For the long range
Of waters from Alaska to Callao
there is only one station and one
flagship with headquarters at San
Francisco. Hereafter there will be-
two stations, one from Panama mort
to Alaska and the other from Panama
south. The flagship OF the northern
station will be the Olympia, with
headquarters at San Francisco. The
Philadelphia will be the flagship Of
the southern squadron, with head.
quarters at Caliao. This will mean
another Admiral for the Pacific
coast, whose name will he made
