Who VII, Be His Successor

Washington, March 2.-In view of the possible retirement of Rear Admiral Sicard on account of ill-health, there is considera- ble speculation as to his probable sue cesSor.
 There is an abundance of excellent ma terial for the selection of a new commander for the North Atlantic squadron, including Rear Admiral Bunce, commandant of tho New York navy yard and Commodore J. A. Howell, recently in command of the Euro pean squadron. Other officers of slightly lower rank who are mentioned as Ikeiy to selection to command the home station are Commodore w. s. Schley now on duty in this city as president of the light house board and Capt. W. T. Sampson, conn manding the Iowa. Tn view of the circum- stances of the case, 1t is more than likely that the matter will be settled immediately ,mon recipt of the report of the board of survey which will be submitted before the end of the week.

The special reason for this, it was learned, is that in case of war these steamers would have to abandon trading at least during the period of hostilities in southern waters. In that case they would have to lay up and the naval officers deem it prudent to have them ready for equipment as auxiliaries should their service be needed

WATCHING STAINS
 TORPEDO FLOTILLA Word of Departure Not Received
 by the Department. M'KlNLEY MADE NO PROTEST Acquisition of Suitable Location for Coaling Station Being Seriously Considered-.
 Government Continually Adding to
 Its Supply of Powder.
M'KINLEY MADE NO PROTEST

Washington, March 22.3The navy depart. ment continues to keep informed as to the Spanish torpedo fiotilla now stopping at the Canares. Word of its departure has not yet reached the department. It can be stated positively that the report that Presd- dent Mckinley had protestehI against the coming of this fiotilla is unwarranted There has been no such protest. At the navy department nothing is known of the reported ordering home of the Maine offf- cers now at Havana. It is said that these orders if given, would come from Admiral Sicard and not from the navy depart ment.
 Serious attention is being given by the navy department officials to the question of the acquisition of a suitable location for a coaling station somewhere in the West Indies Steps have been taken already to establish such station at the Dry Tortu- gas but this, 1t is said, is the only deep water harbor available for big war vessels between Hamp ton Roads anH the Rio Grande Besides, it is practically unpro- tected at present, and a fleet would have to be stationed there to protect the coal stored which is unsatisfactory. The of- flcials, therefore, have been casting about for a location which would serve the pur- noses of a coaling station and which the limited States might acquire either by pur- chase or cession from one Of the friendly governments.
 There are a number of fine harbors among the West Indies, said naval officer today. and in one of these we ought to have a coaling station. Secretary Long is considering the matter and it is probable that if the government can make the necessary arrangements a station will be secured. The importance of securing one is very great as in the event of hostilities our ships might be put to very great in- convenience and delay in filling their bunk CTS when their presence might be needed to protect critical points.
 r Brown Prismatic Powder
 At the war department bids were opened in The bureau of ordnance for supplying 47O GOO pounds of brown prismatic powder for the sea coast fortification guns. There were only two bidders, the California Powder company and the Dupont Powder company.
 In a day or two the ordnance bureau will award the contract for supplying the de- partment two million smokeless powder rifle ball cartridges of 80 calibre Two concerns submitted bids for furnishing these cartridges-the Winchester Arms company and the Union Metallic company, hoth of Connecticut. Their bids were sub stantially alike and the bids will probably he divided between the two companies.
 The war department has recelVed lnIor- nation of the recent arrival at New York of the steamer Nordyken with 7,50O pounds of foreign smokeless powder aboard. This powder Is for testing purposes at the Sandy Hook proving grounds.
