Roeesvels to Retire.
It has been understood for some time
past that Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
Of the navy department would soon No
tire in order to enter the military serv.
ice in the Cuban campaign. This story
can now be confirmed positively, q.
though the time set for Mr.. Rooeevelt's
departure from the department il not
definitely fixed. Tie president has
named Mr.. Roosevelt - lieutenant col.
onel Of one Of the regiments Of mounted
EiAemen TO be raised in the Rocky
mountains, under Colonel Wood. whom
Mr.. Roosevelt has urged for the place.
he won . medal Of honor for disting.
uisned gallantzy while commanding
detachment Of regular troops during
the exceedingly hard Apache cam
paigns against Geronimo. Secretary
Alger selected Colonel Wood and Mr..
Roosevelt for these positions because he
felt that their training and experience
in the past peculiarly fitted them to do
good service with . cOwboy regiment.
Colonel Wood starts west today 70
superintend the recruiting. many Offers
having already come to Mr. Roosevelt
from individuals and organizations
among the cowboys.
Secretary Long wishes Mr.. Roosevelt
20 remain IN nIs present position - long
@ possible SO il ma be two or three
weeks before he will join his command.
So far the talk of q successor to Mr..
Roosevelt has been mere speculation
and it can be stated positively that mp
10 this time the president has not made
. choice of his successor.
Il may be noted in view Of the recent
mention Of the name Of Admiral
Walker in that connection. that - It
stands the law requires the office OF
secretary Of the navy to be filed BY .
civilian, so that il the admiral desired
to accept That Office he would be under
the unpleasant necessity Of resigning
from the navy and lose his place - .
retired officer, which he il not likely 10
do.
There was talk of establishing . sup
ply depot in the Philippines to meet tho
conditions In Asiatic waters. Our feet
there has no home and under the neu.
trality law the stay of the ships at any
port is limited to 3 few hours. This is
unpleasant besides involving the ex-
penditure Of great deal Of coal, 20 it
may become necessary for Commodore
Dewey to seize . port in the Philippines
and fortify it.
The department got notice that John
Logan. son of the late Senator Logan,
had raised . cavalry regiment. which
he offered to the government under his
own command. It is hoped this can be
accepted as part of the quota Of men to
be furnished by Illinois.
John Jacob Astor of New York, not
content with Offering the government
free his splendid yacht Normahala,
and free transportation for troops and
supplies over the railroads in which he
is interested, has come forward with
notice that he has raised and equipped
at his own expense battery of artil-
lery which he desires to offer to the
government under his own plans for
service in Cuba. This will probably
be accepted although the department
has been deluged with Offers Of this
kind to the aggregate number Of 5000
at least.
