Navy Of the Revolution is to have but repre-

too there will be unanimity on Farragut and Por-

has but three? And n the Navy Of the Civil War
IS TO have only three statues should not one Of
them be given 10 Rear Admiral Foote, who did

DEWEY CHOSEN COMMANDER OF A NEW
BODY.
SPLIT IN THE ORGANIZATION OF SPANISH
WAR soLDIERs-ATTEMPT TO USE
THE ORDER FOR POLITICAL
PURPOSES ALLEGED.

PURPOSES ALLEGED.
Washington. Nov. 24-A split has occurred in
the organization Of the Spanish War Veterans,
and a rival body was formed to-day 10 be
known as the Spanish American War Veterans.
Last week the original organization held pro-
tracted meeting in this city. and perfected its
constitution and bylaws. At that time there
were rurnors Of an impending split, but nothing
was made public officially about It. To-day's
meeting held in response to an urgent call
from Adjutant General Liller. who gives as the
reason for the split general dissatisfaction and
an attempt to place the organization in the
hands Of the Ohio representatives. making it ap-
pear as move for political purposes, and the
recent action of the committee who were in the
minority assuming the privilege Of eliminating
and vacating offices created by the National
convention; making several appontive officers.
and move TO control the association generally
and remove the headquarters to Ohio. Those
who were present to-day who have
made National regulations and are here TO make
the association success and not use II for
selfish motives"
The new organization makes all those who
served in the Regular or volunteer Army, Navy
or Marine Corps during the spanish-American
War, and those now serving in the present
Philippine war eligible to membership, provided
they can show an honorable discharge. A con-
stitution and bylaws were adopted. and the units
OF organization are to be local camps, depart
ments and the National association. n resou-
tion was adopted declaring 1t TO be the sense OF
the body that Admiral George Dewey be placed
at its head. and authorizing the AdJutant Cen
eral to convey 10 the Admiral the information
Of his unanimous selection as commander-ln-
chief and that he be earnestly requested TO
accept the office.
The names and the number OF those present
at the meeting are withheld by AdJutant Gen
eral Liller. The officers chosen are as follows:

WRONG IDEA OF GRACIOUS THING.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Having read your editorial the Dewey
house matter IN to-days Tribune should Ike
70 say that while we must all regret the episode
and pity the modification and pain OF the Admiral
over the criticism hs act has brought out, II IS not
fair 10 accuse the American people OF hckleness or
TO quote the ungratefulness OF republics. We may
indeed continue TO admire the Admiral who walked
into Manila Bay IN face Of danger and death. who
destroyed the Spanish feet and who upheld the dig
nifty Of our country for many trying months there
after. but as an exponent OF good manners on land
we do not consider him authority. Since he did not
have any greater sense of delicacy than 10 give
away the tribute OF his fellow citizens to him he
will have TO bear the results OF his mistake. how
ever much might wish II otherwise. Even
rude conception Of politeness suggests the pro-
priety of retaining gift yet here We are treated
TO the spectacle Of seeing one whom we have been
worshipping not only model Of bravery and
tud gnent, but one whom believed be-aud
who ought to be from his training and career-a
gentleman. who had mastered. not merely the rudi-
ing haste 10 dispose OF the sentiment OF n people
strange conception, truly. OF the most gracious
thing that could be done II was 10 Dewey
Admiral presume, that e house was given. and
not to Dewey a husband however pleasing that
role may be TO him personally. When by his
acts or by conspring OF circumstances. a

SOME THINK SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE BEING DE-
LAYED By THE PRESENT COMPLICATION.
The evident differences OF opinion held by vari-
Gus members Of the Dewey Arch Committee as 10
whether the permanent structure Is to be erected IN
honor of Admiral Dewey or Of the entire American
Navy are felt by many friends of the movement TO
be a menace TO the growth Of the fund and
pretty general desire became manifest yesterday
that the committee might get together and make
a formal and final announcement Of the exact pur-
pose for which subscriptions are solicited from the
public. Mr.. Nicoll. the secretary, seems to have
one view about 1t, and Colonel Church the chair
man. another. General Burnett appears TO believe
that the arch is TO be perpetuated for both pur-
poses equally In those circumstances. some think
the funds will come in more slowly than they would
