by Additional Vessels.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The ely
ing squadron" has now been defn-
itely established, with Commodore
w. S. Schley in command. He
will hoist his commodores flag on the
flagship Brooklyn next Monday. The
squadron is to consist of exactly five
ships, no more and no less, despite con-
lecture as to possible ships that might
be added. Those of the squadron will
be the crack armored cruiser Brooklyn,
the battleships Massachusetts and Texas
and the cruisers Columbia and Mime
apolis.
Other ships which are now or here
after at Hampton Roads, will not be of
the flying squadron, but will belong to
the North Atlantic station, under Cap.

to be small, compact feet of the best
ships in the navy, for quick service at
any point along the Atlantic.

station, nnder Captain Sampson, is to
be further augmented. The cruiser

three days ago under sealed orders, is to
report at Key West, as will also the

navyyard the vessels will receive their
equipment-guns, ammunition, torpe-
does and supplies and will make such
other preparations as are necessary for

Government Agents Purchase Fine
Boat In Germany.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The navy
department has been informed by cable
gram from Lieutenant Colwell, naval
attache of the United States embassy
at London, that agents of this govern
ment have purchased "Schischau"
torpedoboat that had been constructed
for the German government. The new
acquisition is of the general type of
German torpedoboats and is regarded
as a valuable addition to our navy.
One feature regarding her that affords
special qualification to the officials of
the navy department is that she is now
ready for sea.
1t is expected that in few days she
will leave for the United States. She
will be able to make the journey across
the Atlantic without difficulty, as she is
a good seagoing vessel and her coal ca
pacity is ample for the trip to this
country.
She is 29-knot vessel and about 100
feet long.
