WILMINGTON DELAWARE 25,

D. Evans (Fighting Bob) to command
the Iowa has created intense enthusi-
asm among the younger naval element
and caused great satisfaction all
around. He is supposed to be at
Charleston.
Rear Admiral Sicard will probably
return home on waiting orders, and
the Iowa will probably remain the
flagship.
The pathos of Rear Admiral Sicard's
retirement at this critical stage ap-
peals to all who have known or served
under him. One naval officer said:
1T was evident that the admirals
failing health made it impossible for
him to retain command at this trying
juncture. But the way In which he has
struggled against bodily ailments in
the endeavor to devote the closing
months of splendid 40 years. service
to active duty is a silent chapter Of
heroism as gallant as any victory in
naval history"

1t Was Surprise to Navy Officers.
Captain Evans Popularity.
Key West, March 25-The news that
Captain William II. Sampson, of the
Iowa, had succeeded Rear Admiral
Sicard in command Of the fleet caused
no end of excitement among the naval
officers here. The admiral himself
knew nothing of the change until he
was shown the press dispatch. As
already stated in these dispatches, It
was known by the best informed that
Admiral Sicard was to be relieved, but
no one thought the change would come
so quickly. The selection of Captain
Sampson was also somewhat of q sur
prise. That officer, although Of great
experience and one of the best con-
struetOrs in the service. was hardly
considered a favorite for the command
of what many think will be fighting
squadron. His health of late has not
been of the best. A high naval officer
said to this correspondent:
Captain Sampson's appointment
may not be particularly popular, but
1t Is one OF the best things ever done
by the department. Under his reserve,
in his tall. spare form, there exists a
spirit of indomitable energy and de-
termination, If it ever comes 70 a
brush he will Justify his ssssctloH ten
