SIGSBEE To HAVE A SHIP.
President Intends to Give Him First
Class Command.


Glass Command.
Although Captain Charles D. Sigsbee
has been assigned to serve as naval aid
to Secretary Long, the president has
assured the captain that he will be
given frst-class command afloat as
soon as one is available. Captain
Sigsbee is not anxious to remain ashore,
and if there is to be action for the
navy he wants to be at the front.
Unfortunately for the qualification Of
his ambition to have another sea COM
mand, no ship is now without skip
per, and most of the new vessels have
recently had commanding officers as
signed to them.
The full confidence felt by the pres
ident in Captain Sigsbec and thorough
approval of his conduct during the
trying times following the loss of the
Maine have been known to the cap
tain, as well as sympathy felt for him
by Secretary Long in having lost the
first ship he ever commanded. Cap
tain Sigsbee has had long interviews
with the president, during which he
recited, for the personal benefit of Mr..
Mckinley, the occurrences previous to
and Immediately following the explo-
sion, and no doubt he told the pres
ident some important things which
were held back in the testimony not
sent to congress on Monday. Physi-
cally the late commander of the Maine
is in prime condition for further active
service.
There is possibility that in few
weeks the secretary may find a place
for him on one Of the fine ships now
attached to the flying squadron, in the
detachment of Captain Cook, whose
term at sea has nearly expired. Cap
tain Cook, in ordinary procedure OF
naval routine, would be relieved this
spring and assigned on shore, but like
all officers now atloat he would dislike
to be removed at time when the pos
sibilities of action for the navy are
promising.
That some reward should be given
Captain Sigsbee, and that he merits
even a finer vessel than the Maine, is
admitted by the president and Secre-
tary Long, who are determined there
shall be no suspicion of lack of conf
dence in the Names commander by
failure to promptly send him to sea.
The Maine was battleship, and there
fore Captain Sigsbee should not be
given a vessel of less rate. He could
not consistently be ordered to one of
the first-class auxiliaries, not even a
ship of the St. Louis type, for, under
the proposed armament which the
