FOR GREATER SECRECY.
Steps to Conceal Whereabouts of On.
WarsLfps.

The Navy Department showed its usual
signs of activity today, and yet there was
an absolute lack of official information
concerning the fleets From this it was as
sumed that no engagement of consequence
had occurred as the Navy Department has
been frank TO give out reports of actual
conflicts, even while guarding with the
Hcst rigid secrecy the preliminary move
nents of ships. Now that the opposing
naval forces are so near together, naval
officials feel the need more than ever of
preventing the disclosure of our strategic
plans, as these are Of incalculable value
to the enemy, and their advance publica-
ton jeopardiZes the entire plan of naval
campaign. For this reason the Navy De-
partment Is practically closed against all
inquiry, so far as future movements are
concerned. 1t gives out news of enpaec-
ments, because a large number of persons
have relatives and friends on board the
ships, and there Is the deepest anxiety as
to the safety of these whenever a conflict
occurs On the present war basis, the only
information given by the department Is the
routine assignment of officers to ships and
the actual engagements. The usual an
nouncements of vessel movements. compo-
sltion OF fleets, etc, are entirely SUSPENDED
NOT only is the department guarding
against allowing this information as to our
ships to go from the department. but 1t is
seeking to prevent these disclosures from
the many coast towns where the ships put
In. If it succeeds in heading off this dis
closure of our plans it will have the Span
ish admiral at dangerous disadvantage in
being unaware as to what point the blow
is to strike him.
Secretary Long had busy morning with
his bureau chiefs and with a number Of
congressional callers, including Senators
Lodge. Pettigrew, Platt of New York and
Proctor. Public men are experiencing the
same difficulty as the press in securing in
formation of strategic movements as the
war and naval officials feel that the COM
r:unication of plans to people in Congress
frequently results in disclosures which thew
wish to guard against

THREE CORPS COMMANDERS.
Gen. Graham to BE at the Head of
Troops at Falls Church.

AS a result of a conference between the
President, the Secretary of War and Adju-
tant General Corbin, this afternoon, several
important matters connected with the or
ganiZation of the army on its new basis
were decided upon. Chief among these, was
the selection of officers to command the
seven corps into which the army is to be
divided.
The first corps, which is to be modified
near Falls Church, Va, will be commanded
by Major General W. NJ. Graham, now
commanding the Department of the gulf
with headquarters at Atlanta, Ga. Major
General Wilson will have command of the
sixth army corps at Chickamauga, Tenn,
and Major General Fitzhugh Lee will COM
mand the seventh army corps, also at
Cnickamauga. The other corps assign
ments have been Professionally made, but
will not be announced until finally decided
upon, late this afternoon tomorrow.
The vacancy in the command OF the De-
partment of the East, with headquarters at
New York. caused by the appointment of
Major General Merritt, governor general
of the Philippines, will be temporarily filed
by BriEadier General r. I. Frank. for
merly colonel of the ist Artillery, and COM
mander of the Artillery School at Fort
Monroe.
Although General Lee has not yet COM
pleted the organization of his staff it is
practically settled that two members of it
will be his son, Col. FitZhugh Lee, jr., and
Col. Algernon Sartories, grandson of Gen.
L. S. Grant. These staff appointments
We're made with the approval of President
Mckinley.

GEN. GUENTHER TO COMMAND.
Will Be In Charge of the Troops Near
Falls Church,

For the fifteen thousand or more troops
who are to be concentrated near Falls
Church, Va, Brig. Gen. Francis l.. Guen-
ther, who has just been promoted from
colonel of the 4th Artillery, has been ap-
pointed TO command. His assignment,
however, TO that place is understood to be
but temporary, and mainly for the purpose
of putting the soldiers concentrated there
in condition for field service. Gen.
Guenther is now commandant at the Wash
ington barracks, and he will take the place
to which Senator Sewell of New Jersey,
Who had been nominated to the position of
major general, was originally assigned.
1t is said at the War Department that
the troops In various parts of the country
ordered to that point will probably begin
moving al once, and that some of the near
by regiments may reach there tomorrow or
Wednesday. The permanence of the camp
