ORDERED TO SEA DUTY,
Officers Who VIII Give Up Navy De-
partment Desks.

The expected arrival of the Brazilian
cruiser Nictheroy. recently purchased by
the United States and renamed the Buffalo,
at Norfolk within the next few days, will
cause the detachment of Lieutenant COM
mander ]. n. Hemphill of the bureau of
navigation and Lieut.. S. W. B. Diehl of the
office of naval intelligence from their pres
ent duties. Commander Hemphin has been
selected as the first commander of the Buff
falo, and Lieutenant Diehl will be one of
his assistants.
Another officer who will probably be as
signed to duty on the Buffalo is Lieut.. Geo.
w. Logan, who has been on duty in the
bureau of navigation for several weeks as
sisting Lieutenant Whittlesey in the i'm
portant work of deciphering dispatches
from the seat Of war in the Philippines and
in Cuban waters.
Lieutenant Commander w. ]. Barnette,
formerly of the Mangrove and at present
naval aid to the assistant secretary of the
navy, has been assigned to the command
of the converted gunboat Dorothea and he
will probably have the assistance of En-
sign John T. Hines, now ON duty in the
bureau Of navigation.
So far as can be learned there is no truth
in the revived rumor that Captain Crown
inEhield, chief of the bureau of navigation
and junior member of the strategic board,
is to be given an important sea command.

OLD BAHAMA CHANNEL, May p, via
Key West, May 26.-Five days ago Rear
Admiral Sampson left Key West to prevent
the Spanish warships in the caribbean sea
from escaping Commodore Schley and flying
up through the Windward passage to dis
tuIb the blockade of Havana and menace
our seaboard cities.
All of Saturday and Sunday his fla agship
lay off Havana, assembling vessels, sending
the SloW-sailing monitors ahead and provid-
ing for the integrity of the blockade in his
absence. Then, on Monday morning, with
q battle ship, two torpedo boats and three
gunboats, the armed cruiser New York, he
steamed eastward, against stiff winds,
through a rough sea.
Before reaching the light of the Gross
of the Father" enough ships had Joined us
to compose a formidable squadron, strong
enough to make even dispatch boat skip
pers feel brave in it's wake. On Tuesday
the ships lay to, awaiting information from
Washington. Near sunset the Mont gomery
Commodore Watson aboard, hove in sight
the steamer smoking hard, and brought dis
patches.
At dusk the ships, now numbering fif-
teen, moved into line eastward, showing
Upright rows Of various color lights bril-
liant against the starry sky, until all were
in motion; then the signals went out;
silence fell, and darkness obscured every
sthing save the crimson battle lanterns
shining clear from each stern.
Just before dawn today a cruiser over
hauled us with dispatches. Whatever was
contained in them they caused the squad
ron to come about and head reluctantly,
engines hardly turning, back toward Ha-
vana. Had Schley locked up the Spanish
ships in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba
or had they evaded again pursuing
oIces, or were we to stop the chase and
guard the three channels which, meeting
at Cayo Frances offer exit from the Car
ribean? Only the admiral knew. and only
he knows where we will be at nigntfall.
