len V. Reed. L. S. N. whose nomination
"a a commodore was sent to the Senate
Yesterday by the President with proyis-
ional statement, will be. sent to sea as
commander OF vessel Of a size commen-
surate with his rank. II is TO determine
Captain Reeds professional fitness FOR
promotion that he will be given this as
s.gnment, in order 10 make IL clear Wneth-
or or not he is entitled 10 exercise the du-
ties Of a commodore. At present he is
commandant Of the navy-yard at Ports
mouth, y. II.
The allegations against Captain Reed
did not affect his integrity, but were
chiefly that he was careless In his at
tention Of naval matters. With the con-
flrmation OF his nomination, Captain
Reeds name will be added to the list
of commodores, and a foot note Will state
that this Is subject 10 examination. At
the end OF year he will be called before
the examining board, AMI If he fails 10 at
tain his favorable recommendation and
the necessary approval of the President,
he will be retired as a captain. II the con-
trary should happen, he will retain his
| place on the list OF cOmmOdOreS. during
| his year of probation. Captain Reed, while
| having the command and pay Of a cap
tain will be practically a commodore In
standing. Whether or not he succeeds
In attaining that actual rank Captain
! Cook and the other officers affected by the
| Presidents action, will not be disturbed
and will enjoy their promotion from this
| time on.
| Some discussion took place among the
| higher officials of the Navy Department
| to-day, as 20 the proper ship for Captain
Reed to command. As the senior captain
| I'm the navy, he is entitled TO command
the highest vessel ahoat. This is the In
diana, at present under Captain Robley ID
| Evans, who. of course will not be dis
turbed. The new battle-ships Massachu
setts and Oregon. sisters OF the Indiana
| will be ready for service in a month o.
two, and it is likely that Captain Rec
| will secure one of these.
