THE NAVY IN THE WAR.
Secretary Long VIII Make Public
Much Interesting Matter.

Secretary Long has determined to pub
lish all reports and all correspondence
of the Navy Department relating to the
operations of the United States naval
forces in the war with Spain. with the
exception of communication that, for dip
lomatic reasons, should be withheld from
the newspapers.
The reports of commanding officers OF
the naval vessels on the operations OF
their ships will be given to the press
daily until all have been made public,
and, from time 10 time. copies of cor
respondence between the Navy Depart
ment and its officers will also be furnished
for pur ication.
Ihere is much interesting matter in the
reports and correspondence. The activity
of the department in comparison with
the army is shown by the many tele-
grams 10 and from commanding officers.
Some new light will be thrown on the
operations OF the navy in that critical
period OF the war when Cervera's fleet
was in Santiago Harbor, with the fact
not definitely known, and a perusal OF
the teiegrams will show how easily Ger
vera might have escaped the bottling-up
tion of his ships.
An oihcer of the bureau of navigation
Is editing the reports. He has practi-
caIiy completed his work and the first
batch may be given TO the press today.
The editing has been no small job Many
of the commanding officers. in telling of
the experiences of their, vessels, referred
to the display of private signals, adding
description of them. All these descrip-
uons have been cut out and do not ap-
pear In the volumes telling the official
story Of the navy's doings in the war.
The Secretary states that he believes
the Government owes it TO the people of
me country TO let them see for themselves
now the war was conducted by the Navy
department. While the feelings of some
people may be hurt and the reputation
Oh others diminished through this publ
cation of official communications history
VIII he benefited and some controversies
may be settled.

ABSTAIN FROM POLITICS.
An Official Reminder to Civil Service
Examiners.

The Civil Service Commission is sending
the following circular TO members of the
700 boards of examiners throughout the
country on the political activity of Fed
eral officers and employees. directing atten-
tion to the extracts from the executive
instructions of 1896, which are republished
for the guidance of all officers and en-
ployes in the executive civil service:
The Postmaster General, in letter dated
August S, 1898, stated that the order of the
President above quoted had been neither revoked
nor modified.
Those who enter the classified civil service
upon the ground of ascertained merit, as estab-
lshod by the civil service rules and are protect
ed therein should he quick to recognize the rec-
procal obligations thereby imposed, and avoid any
action which or at any time could reasonably
be subject TO adverse political criticism.
The commission believes that the best interests
of the service will be promoted by the non partie-
patton Of all members Of its boards of examiners
in political conventions in the work of political
committees.
While attendance at political convention as
delegate, or membership upon a political COM
mittee, is not in itself a violation Of the civil
service rules, the commission holds that all par
representative of the civil service commission,
is sufficient cause for removal from membership
on any OF its board OF examiners
Section of the civil service act OF January l6
1883, provides that person in the public service
"has any right TO use his official authority or
influence to coerce the political action OF any per-
son or body

VHE NEW CAB SERVICE.
1t viii Soon He InauEurated Under
Lower Rates.

The new cab service which Congress au-
thorized last June to be established in this
city by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will be in operation on November !.
Twenty modern vehicles have been manu-
factured especially for this service and
will be stationed adjacent to the Pennsyl-
vania depot in conformity with the regu-
lations of the District Commissioners.
The service to be established here is
similar to that now in operation in nearly
all the large cities of the country and
which has met the most hearty approval
of the public.
The question of the assignment of street
space and the regulation of rates was
placed in the hands of the District Com
missioners by Congress with the provision
that the rates should not exceed the rates
in force at the time of the approval of the
law.
The Commissioners yesterday fixed the
following schedule, which is somewhat
lower than the rates now prevailing:
Rates for cabs and victorias: BY the trip-One
and one-half miles or less, direct TO or from
station, to one address. one person. 25c-; each
additional person, 25c; each additional address,
one Or two persons. 25c-; each additional passen-
ger. l0c.; each additional half mile or less, each
person, l0c.
On call. to go to station-To call at any ad-
dress within and one-half miles OF station, one
person, 25c.; each additional halt mile or less,
each person. lec.
BY the hour-One two persons. first hour or
less, 75c.; thee four persons, 81; each addl-
tonal quarter hour or less one or two persons,
20c; three four persons, 25c.
Omnibus rates BY the trip or on call 10 20
to station-Ninimum charge for four persons or
less. one and onehahmile limit, 81; each addi-
tional person, l5c.; each stop en- route, not over
ten minutes, 50c.; each additional half mile or
less, zoe.
b. the hour-Frst hour, four persons or les.
Sl.50; each additional person, 25c.; each sddi-
tional quarter hour less, 25c
When vehicles engaged by the hour
trip rates shall be charged.
When charges for trip or trips exceed rates per
hour charges shall lie by the hour.
All of the available space adjacent TO
the Pennsylvania depot has been allotted
to the new company, and such public We
hicles as are now stationed there will be
required to make use OF other hack
stands. 1t is understood that the railroad
company is going to do everything posi-
BILE to make the new service model of its
kind. The awning sheds on B Street are
TO be extended across the sidewalk as
protection from the weather. There will
| also be a superintendent and telephone
call station. Maps of the city, showing
the distances at glance to all points
from the depot. together with the sched-
ule of rates, will be placed in every We
hicle. thus insuring passengers against
possible imposition on the part of cabmen.

THINGS THEATRICAL.

Gounod's Romeo and Juliet" was given
at the Lafayette last night by the Inter-
national Grand Opera Company, and in
a manner fully equaling the previous
efforts of this well-rounded organization.
The pieces sung, familiar as all Of them
are excepting La Boheme," have seemed
revivfied when heard at the hands of this
combination, and Romeo and Juliet :"
not having been rendered here for a long
time, proved an especially grateful offer
ing.
what was written in commendation of
Madame Clementine De We're upon her
first appearing might have been kept in
type, for she has never swerved from the
high standard she created in Lucia"
AS the Juliet of yesterday evening, her
art In acting was equal to her vocal ex-
cellence. She read the waltz song most
refreshingly-in proper tempo-with a
dainty attack and n perfect vocaiization
in arpeggios. Madame De We're is really
original in her nicely of treatment with
this popular number. Eleanor Broadfoot,
graceful of carriage, with excellent mode
and purity of tone. sung Stephano, and
was recalled after her charming solo
Miss Broadfoot has found new friends
at each recurring performance. George
Mftchelrs Romeo was sufficiently refined
to win him favor for his genteel love-
making. and this refinement was also
displayed in temperament and beauty of
tone. His acting is better in Romeo
and Juliet than in anything in which he
has appeared. Forest D. Carr, as Friar
Lawrence, pleased and surprised his ad-
mirers, who had not before heard him in
a role suitable to his manly voice. Win
fred Goff, the Mercutio of the cast, sang
and acted understandingiy, while Henry
Gunson and Signor Zani were in every
way satisfactory. The entire company
was strong and the chorus neat as
hitherto in its work. Its excellent sing
ing called forth several hearty bursts Of
applause.
This afternoon at the matinee la
Boheme' will be repeated. and the in
terest manifested in this great opera Will
doubtless tend to fill the house. III
Trovatore" is to be sung tonight. with
Thomas Collenz as Manrico. Mr.. Collenz
comes but recently from the Royal
Italian Opera Company, and his char
acterization and singing should be ex-
cellent.
