HOW CAPTAIN SIMPSONS APPOINTMENT WAS
RECEIVED AT KEY WEST

CAPTAIN William T. Sampson. OF the Iowa had
succeeded Rear AZ miral Sicord I'm command Of
the feet caused no end Of excitement among the
naval officers here. The Admiral himself knew
nothing Of the change until the Associated Press
dispatch was shown him. Captain Sampson re-

through the same sources. AS already stated In
these dispatches. il was known by the best
