At TIE H[ADOF THE NAVY.
On Christmas Day Rear-AdmiraI
Dewey Becomes the Ranking
Officer of the Navy.
ADMIRAL BURcE RETIRES ON THAT DAY.
Speculation as to the Future of Rear-Ad-
miral Schley-He is Said to Have Asked
for Sea Duty Butt Seems that Admiral
Sampson's Wishes Are to be Consulted
Before Decision Is Made.

New York, Dec. 24.-The Press says:
On Christmas day Rear-Admiral
Dewey will become the ranking Off
Ger in active service of the United
States navy. Rear-Admiral Bunce,
commandant of the navy yard, now
holds that place, but as he has reached
the age limit. he will, while still re-
naming commandant of the yard un-
til his successor there is appointed, be
officially retired.
IT CREATED GOSSIP.
When the order from Washington
reached Rear-Admiral Bunce that he
continue in command in the yard until
relieved by the appointment of his
successor it created a great deal of
gossip in the Navy Yard club and
among the officers on the ships.
A few days ago, although Rear-Ad-
miral Schley had asked for sea duty,
and it was generally believed that he
would command the squadron of the
European station, unofficial informa-
ton came from Washington that he
would be named as commandant of
the New York yard.
WAITING ON SAMPSON.
But now it is believed among the Of
ficers in the yard that the officials in
Washington have decided TO await the
arrival of Rear-Admiral Sampson, at
present on his way home from Cuba,
before definitely determining upon the
more important assignments made
necessary by the retirement of Rear
Admiral Bunce.
1t is believed by the friends of Ad-
miral Schley that this waiting upon
the pleasure of Admiral Sampson is
the result of the controversy that has
been carried on between the men. It
is not known what Sampson wants,
but it is believed in the yard that he
neither desires that Sehley go to Eu-
rope or take command of the New
York navy yard.
SIMPSONS WISHES WILL GOVERN.
1t is known that Schley prefers to
go to the European station, and yet
the officers are sure that he has re-
Gently been booked to succeed Bunce
in the yard here. Rear-Admiral Samp-
sons wishes probably will determine,
they say, the assignments of all the
officers except Admiral Dewey and the
protests or desires of the others will
be of no avail.

s. were signers of the European treaty prohibiting the issuing of letters of marque and reprisal to privateers by nations engaged in war, it has been decided by this government not to is- sue such letters and not to countenance privateering. This decision, which is a tacit recognition of European anti privateering treaty, will probably re- suit in preventing Spain from going into privateering to any extent, be- cause her doing so would inHict more real damage upon the commerce of
 European nations than upon that of the U. $. and that she knows would not be allowed by the European governments.

ONE of the busiest departments of the Brooklyn navy yard is that where the United States flags are manufac- tured. Throughout the whole twenty four hours, relays of men and girls are employed in cutting out and putting to- gether the stars and stripes. Each flag must pass the final inspection of an old sailor, who has been long employed for this purpose, and is noted for his careful requirements. It is congen- ial occupation for an old fighter of the fleets.

THERE is no organized effort to push along the idea of wOrld-cOntrOlling alliance of the English speaking peo- pies, but the idea seems to be going ahead with its own momentum. aided by circumstances, such as the general tone of the English press and recent announcements by the British govern ment showing its sympathy with the Cuban policy of the U. $. and it's ob- ject. The idea catches the peace sup porters, because of their belief that such an alliance would be powerful enough to maintain universal peace. and the fighting element, because it would be strong enough tOlick all crea- tiOn. It is the belief of well-informed persons that the question of forming an AnglO-A alliance is likely to become very lively one before the end of the war with Spain. This may or may not be true. but the subject is being discussed very much in Wash ington.

THE Democrats of Yuma county are exerting every effort within their power to have J. w.

Their extreme interest in Republican affairs is just that much energy wasted, as 1t is a difficult matter tor them to get an audience for their rank falsehood and political islander.
