EFOVPs
About two weeks ago a tow-headed
youth with a Spanish name, who thought
he would have little fun with the young
men in the vicinity of Grove and Mont
gomery streets, organized a cavalry troop
of his own with the assistance of a few
others and proceeded to receive names of
the different young men in the neighbor-
hood who would like to become cavalry
men.
Among the list of names he received
was that of Robert A. Bullman, young
man who was desirous of becoming a
trooper.
The young man with the Spanish name
planned with a number of others to
have some sport with Bullman, and as
soon as he Joined the troop he received a
telegram stating that he must appear De-

Representatives combined put ami ap-
pearance at the War and Navy Depart
ments this morning
Secretary Long saw Congressional visit
ors this morning, but went shortly after
10 o'clock to the White House. The
most interesting item of information that
came to the Navy Department was the
reported arrival of the cruisers San Fran
cisco and New Orleans at Halifax today
1t was reported at the Navy Department
that the two vessels would come directly
to New York, where they were expected
to arrive on Saturday or yesterday. 1t
is supposed they were delayed by the
stress of weather.
The arrival of the New Orleans in this
country in the source of great satisfac-
ton to the naval officials as she has
aboard number of the Maxim Norden-
feldt rapid fire guns just purchased in
Europe and quantity of ordnance stores
The guns were intended for the sea coast
1ortlncatlOnS and are Dduly Heeueu just a.
this time So anxious were the officials
that these stores should be brought to this
country safely that it may truly be said
they were more interested in the safe ar
rival of the stores than of the ship it.
self The expectation is that the two
vessels will proceed promptly to New
York
Word reached the department today of
the arrival of the first class cruiser Bal
timore at Yokohomo, Japan. on her way
to Hong Kong to join the Chinese squad
ron. She will make an excellent addition
to the American fleet in these waters.
The Baltimore had aboard a large amount
of ammunition stores, which she trans
shipped at Honolulu, to which place they
had been brought by one of the smaller
United States ships, and those will be dis
tributed among the ships of the squadron.
Chairman Hull of the House Military
Affairs Committee was at the War De-
partment for some time today discussing
with Secretary Alger the bill providing
for an increase of the army in time of
war, and which was recently recommitted
to the Military Committee after being
considered in the House.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
List of Titles and Comparative Off cial
 Rank.

A subscriber of The Republican writes inquiring the rank and title of officers of the army and navy. The officers of the army are major-general, brigadier-general, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain and first and second lieutenants. Those of the navy are rear admiral, commodore, captain, commander, lieutenant-commande lieutenant and ensign. The army list at one time included a general and lieutenant general, as the navy list included admiral and vice-admiral. The officers of the army and navy rank relatively as fellows: Major generals with rear admirals, brigadier- generals with commodores, colone.s with captains, lieutenant-coionels with commanders, majors with lieutenant commanders, captains with 1isutenants. an dlieutenants with ensigns.
 Of the titles now extinct the genera, corresponded to the admiral, the lieu tenant to the vice-admiral. Until the passage of the army reorganization bill there were three major-generals and six brigadier-generals in active service and ten brigadier-generals en- gagged in departmental work. There were seventy-one colonels, ninety-one lieutenant-colonels and 207 majors.
 The navy List comprises one acting admiral now tha tCommodore Dewey has been promoted, six rear admirals ten commodores, forty-five captains and eighty-five commanders. This list is likely to be increased soon by the creatoin of five more rear, ad- mirals

ONCE WITH DEWEY.
How the Commodore Fought With
 His Hands Behind Him.

Chicago, May 11.-One Of the most enthusiastic admirers in Chicago of Commodore Dewey and one of the most enthusiastic over his victory of the Spanish at Manila is Joseph Thomas Ewell of Ravenswood, who served three years before the mast on the cruiser Pensacola, of which the commander of the Asiatic squadron was then captain.
 MT. Ewell is employed by Henry G. Estabrook, a hardware dealer at, 12S4 East Ravenswood park. Ever since the first news of Dewey's battle with Admiral Montejo's fleet was received MT. Ewell has been overwhelmed with questions by curious suburbanites as to the personal characteristics of the famous commander.
 Dewey has come out all right" said MT. Ewell last night. ''He is brave and cool. He is good to his men and can get much work out of them I served under him for three years en- listing Sept. 22, 1885, and leaving the service in March, 1S88 We cruised in the Mediterranean and north along the west coast of Europe. The men liked the captain and drilled for him with enthusiasm. Admiral Jewett of the examining board once came on board to inspect the Pensacola, and after we had concluded our drills told 2ewey his command was the best drilled body of men he had ever seen on a ship.
 Commodore Dewey never gets ex- cited or loses his head. He gives his orders composedly at all times. He showed his cColness when the Pensa- cola ran aground off Cape Hatteras because of a change of lights at the Kitty Hawk sand bar. one of the most dangerous bars in American waters. Dewey, with his hands behind his back, which was his favorite posture, gave orders from the deck in the cool est manner. He was apparently the least affected man on beard, although his ship was in peril. We finally got her off after five hours work, and all the time Dewey had stood with his arms folded, behind him, as cool as a cucumber

RESERVOIR SITE.
The Prescott Council Examines Sites
 West of the City.

Prescott. May 9.-(Special cores pondence of The Republican n.)-Yester- day Councilmen Bray, Smith and Ross. accompanied by City Engineer J. J. Fisher, Editor Martin of the Journal Miner and The Republican represen- tative drove out to the reservoir sites on Potts creek, west of the city, Ofi- cer Billy Potts and MT. Fisher han ding the reins. Messrs. Bray and Smith volunteered as chiefs of the commissary. Councilman Frank An drews was not present as he had been called to Ash Fork to meet his wife and brand new baby who is a Cali fornian by birth.
 The first stop was on Robbins ranch, where MT. Schuyler, the Los Angeles expert engineer, had decided was the best site, basing his calcula- tions on the greatest drainage from the mountain snow sheds His plan involves 8 dam 1 ,450 feet in length and forty-fve feet in height, of irregular lines. The construction is to be a base of bed rock four feet in depth, earth and rock rising from TIT feet in width at the base to twenty feet at the apex, the face to be aspha1tum. The diversion of Aspen creek by Q canal 2,000 feet in length is considered in the plan. It is calculated that with a rise to a spillway on the north that the water capacity will be 400, 1000 900 gallons, covering ninety acres. The city will be expected to pay damages to land on a basis of S1,500 and an option was given on this until June fl. This site is 400 feet above the present city reservoir which has a ca pacity of 100000 gallons. Schuyler's estimate on construction of dam, canal and laying six-inch pipe to the present reservoir is S105,000, and on Engineer Fishers plan, dam 175 feet high, hereafter referred to, at $140,- 900. MT. Schuyler was paid S700 for an opinion.
 Two miles west of the Schuyler Site on Potts creek, 700 feet above city res ervoir, is Engineer Fishers site, which has received the commendation of Messrs. R. B. Burns and w. A. Drake, resident engineers of the Santa Fe Pa Pacific and Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoe- nix railways respectively. MT. Fish CTS plan contemplates almost an equal drainage from the snow shed and a diversion canal of little over two miles from Aspen creek, and piping to city at a cost of $90,000. The site on Potts creek (Fisher's) is a narrow gap, the elevations either side rising several hundred feet. The dam is to be of rock quarried on the spot Portland cement will be used in the construction. At height of sixty-fve feet it is calculated that the reservoir will impound 160, ,000, 900 gallons of wa ter, at eighty-five feet 32O,00O,0O0 gall Ions The dam is to be arch shaped
