EVANS LEAVES THE IOWA.

AGE AROUND THE HORN.
Order Issued 1t His Re9uese-Whi
Be Assigned to shore Duty-New
Batfieships TO BE Called the Ohio,
The Maine and the Missouri.

WASHINGTON. Sept. .l-Capt Rooley
.. Evans called at the navy department
today and had a long talk with Secretary
Long. he immediate result OF which was
the issue of an order relieving him from
command Of the battieship Iowa. which
Is now being repaired az the Brooklyn
navy yard.
This was done at Capt. Evans personal
request. He has served more than the
period Of time required by ths regrda-
tons ard practice for q captain 70 co.r-
mand. and his next sea service may be
IN flag rank. He has been granted A
leave of absence and meantime the na-
ture Of his nexs duty VIII De- determined.
II will certainly be ashore, and he may
be assigned % membership on one Of the
naval boards.
The next commander Of the Iowa viii
be Capt. Silas Terry. IN command OF the
receiving ship at the Norfolk navy yard
He win take the Iowa around South
America and over 10 Honolulu in COM
parry with the Oregon and some Golfers.
Il is said at the navy department to-
day that the sailing orders 10 the battle
ships have net yet been issued and that
when they are they VIII intimately pro-
coed 10 Join Deweys fleet a. Manila, Il
it should be deemed expedient TO reir-
force him But as the journey around
South America will occupy nearly four
months and many changes in the situa-
ton as to the Philippines may be ex-
pected TO occur before the expiration %
that period. IL cannot be certainly fore
told whether the Oregon and the Iowa
will ever reach Manila.
When attention was called TO the posi-
bility OF the dispatch of reInforceuerts
20 Dewey being regarded as a technical
violation OF the truce now pending. ii was
said al the navy department tha. that
matter would probably be adjusted be-
fore the ships reached Honolulu By the
action OF the peace commission al Paris.
Should this not be the case il will be
easy 20 Intercept the ships at Honolulu by
s. dispatch boat which could make the
run from San Francisco In a week
Secretary Long today assigned Comno-
dore kautz. al present IN command Of
the naval training station at Newport.
TO command OF the Pacific station, in
place OF Admiral Miller who .ret.res in
the course OF few weeks Miller is now
at Honolulu and kautz has been directed
to take steamer from San Francisco for
that place by October sth.

The Farce islands have been incor.

for many years and send two members
to the Danish parliament. but they re-
tain a certain degree Of independence.
Their local affairs are managed by an
assembly which sits in Thorshavn and
still is called the lagthing, though it is
under the presidency of an amtman APP
pointed by the king; and they enjoy
special exemption from CONSUMPTION
and from export and import duties,
says Blackwood's Magazine.
Both sexes have an air of refinement
and dignity often seen among true
peasants. but the men are usually hand
