SAMPSON A REAR ADMIRAL.
Will Be Appointed to Position Temperate
ly.

Washington, April 2.--The Secretary
of the Navy has officially decided to tenn
porarily appoint Captain Sampson, now
in command of the North Atlantic
squadron, a Rear Admiral. The NOM
ination, for it is believed it will be neces-
sary to make nomination even for
temporary appointment, will be submitted
to the Senate very soon. The purpose OF
thus increasing the rank of Captain Samp-
son Is to prevent the confusion and dis
arrangement that would result should he
fall in with one of the other naval com
manders now in the North Atlantic
waters. Having selected Captain Samp-
son originally for the command OF the
squadron, it is not deemed by the DEPART
ment good policy to chance an unexpected
change of commanders. But were Samp-
son to remain plain Captain Sampson,
and should Commodore Howell with his
patrol fleet, or Commodore Schley with
his Flying Squadron either by accident
or orders, come in contact with the North
Atlantic squadron under the naval regu-
Iations, the senior officer would command
the entire force and rank of Captain
SAMPSON. 1t is to avoid this that the ad
ditional ranks to be conferred upon Cap
tainSampson.

Washington, April %. The
Post today will say:
There is every reason
to believe that Secretary
Sherman will resign from
the cabinet within the
next few days. 1t is felt
by the friends of the Secretary
that the present crisis is too
serious a task upon his failing
strength, and for this reason
he will retire to private life.
His successor will be As
sistant Secretary Day in all
probability. but it can be
stated that Judge Day has no
desire to remain in public
life.
1t is the Presidents natural
desire to promote Judge Day
to the position which Mr..
Shermen will vacate, but if he
persists in his desire to leave
official life there will be a re-
organization Of the department
to the extent of a new Secre-
tary and a new assistant sec
retary.

RUMORS OF A FIGHT.
Bat 1t Is Based on Unsubstantial
Evidence.

jacksonville, Fla. April %. According
to private dispatches received by the
Times Union and Citizen, the first naval
battle Of the war took place opposite
Boynton, about twenty-five miles south
of Palm Beach at ten o'clock this morn
ing. George Lyman, reliable man and
several others, who were fishing in Lake
Worth, which is separated from the ocean
by narrow strip of land, heard heavy
firing and ran to the bsach. They report
ed to the railroad agent and postmaster at
Lantana that United States monitor
was chasing and firing upon Spanish
man-of-war or gunboat conveying a coal
or transport ship. The Spaniard replied
shot for slot. All the ships were travel
ling with bone in their teeth.
The men say they watched. the battle
for an hour, or until only the smoke
from the tunnels was visible on the
Southern horizon in which direction they
were travelling.
The Associated Press states that it is
impossible to confirm the above at Wash
ington. Lantana is on the east coast of
Florida, 200 miles from Key West So
far as known no American monitors
were in that vicinity.

SPANISH FLEET STILL LINGERs.

Washington, April 23.-Up to noon to-
day nothing had been received by the gov
ernment indicating that the Spanish fleet
had left Cape Verde Island. What may
be the purpose of the Spanish gov ernment
as to the disposition of this fleet is not
known but the belief among high officials
is that the Spaniards will hesitate before
sending the pick Of their navy into Anne
flcan or even Cuban waters. 1t must be
realized, it is said. that cut off from
coal supply they would be at great dis
auvantage and would run the very great
risk Of total annihilation.
