Lieut.. Adams Promotion.

Second Lieut.. ]. Barry Adams of the 4th
Regiment, United States Volunteers. has
been made captain of the port and provost
marshal of Manzanilla. Cuba He entered
upon his duties October 30. AS port cap
tain he is the collector of customs AMI as
provost marshal he ranks the alcalde of
the city. Lieut. Adams entered the service
from Montgomery county, Maryland where
his wife and family reside. His many
friends in Washington. where he has been
practicing his profession of engineering for
several years past, will be greatly gratified
at this signal recognition of his abilities
particularly when the fact is noted that he
was selected for his present duties over
eleven captains and the same number of
first HeutenantS.
Evening star., 1898-11-07

it is believed that the value of the property
recovered from the wrecks will fully rec
ompense the Navy Department for the eX-
nenditurc
Because the contract has been terminated
it does not follow that all idea has been
abandoned of saving some of the sunken
Spanish warships The Navy Department
is ready to engage with thoroughly respon-
sib!e wrecking concerns, providing the lat
ter absove the government from payments
unless the ships are delivered in United
States navy yard. Already one of the
greatest wrecxing concerns in the world-a
Swedish Organiza tion-has opened negotia-
tons on the subject. 1t is willing to under
take at once the raising of the Reina Mer-
cedes. which lies in the channel in SantinSo
harboI. and the company has indicated
disposition to also undertake the wrecknS
of the Colon. This concern has large ex-
perience in this class of work, and If TO
American company, able to do the work,
offers better terms, arrangements viii prob
ably be made with it on the basis of ca sh
payment for the ship delivered in the Uni
ted States.

LITTLE POLITICAL EXCITEMENT
Heads of State. War and Navy De-
partments VIII Not Vote.

There was very little political excitement
apparent in the State, War and Navy De-
partments today, although 1t is known that
the officials are more deeply interested than
appears on the surface. The non-political
character of the two great military DEPART
ments and the customary dignity and re-
serve of the employees of the foreign office
account in great measure for the lack of
political gossip and the fact that affairs
pursued the even tenor of their way in the
three uptown departments.
With the exception of Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn of the War Department none
of the official heads of the State War and
Navy Departments has taken any part in
the present political campaign. and so far
as is known none of them will go home to
vote tomorrow. Secretaries Hay, Long and
Alger, with Assistant Secretaries Hill and
Adee of the State Department and Allen of
the Navy department, were at their desks
as usual today.
Of this number Secretary Hay is he only
one who is not entitled to a vote in tomor-
rows elections. His non-eligiblity is due 10
the fact that he resides in the District of
Columbia, ans! is not a citizen of any state
He said today when ques toned on the sub-
1ect that ne vas a resident of Washington
c1ty, ana Is therefore not entitled to vote
ne fact that neither Secretary Long q
haSSachnSettT nor Secretary Alger of Mich
igan is going home tomorrow is due 10 III,
&C 1'ildcnce of 10th in the success of the re-
publican ticket without sny assistance from
9Dem. Iae same thing applies to Assistant
secretary Allen, who. like Secretary LONG
IS cftizea OF Massachusetts Assistant
Secretary Hill is resident of Nev Vol,
put has proba bly, forfeited his right 70 VOTE
al tnis electioli, on account of his long an
sence from the United States
Assistant Secretary Meikleiobn bas -,,,.
