A NEW COMMANDER.
Admiral Dewey at the Head of
Warships at TompkinsviiIe.

New York, Sept 27, The North
Atlantic squadron has new COM
mander this morning He is Adj
miral George Dewey. With the
flagship Olympia he came up to
Tompkinsville this morning and
dropped anchor at the head of the
line of warships lying there An
other flagship the Chicago, with
Rear Admiral Howison, accom-
panied the Olympia. Howisou is
a junior to Sampson, and Dewey
is senior of both of them. Dewey
is, therefore, at the head of all the
forces gathered at Tompkinsville.
Dewey's sail TO Tompkinsville
this morning was one great ova-
ton, to which the tars of the
Olympia heartily responded. It
was greeting of navy to navy and
the scene was most inspiring to
patriotic Americans.
Admiral Howison Will not
change the plans Of the Dewey re-.
ception except that his seniority
will pace him next to Dewey in all
the honors,while Sampson will con
tinue to represent the navy depart
ment in his official control of the
marine parade.

THAT INDEMNITY TO SPAIN.
beginning 10 Give the S:O,-
100000 Payment Attention.

Washington, Jan. 0.-The payment OF
the peace treaty is beginning to receive
attention from members of the house
committee on appropriations, and IL is
likely that the amount will be carried
In one OF the regular appropriation bills,
probably the sundry bill. Chairman
Cannon says, however, that the question
had not been formally considered yet,
as there has been no estimate submit
ted and no official information on the
requirements of the case. Moreover,
there is no desire to anticipate action
on the treaty, and until it is ratified the
house is hardly in position to carry
out this provision as TO payment.
In the event of ratification, however.
speedy action will be necessary. The
treaty provides that the payment shall
be made "within three months after the
exchange of ratifications," and another
provision requires the exchange OF rati-
fications within six months from the
date the treaty was signed. viz. Deem
Der 10 last. This would bring the
payment before the next session OF
congress, so that the appropriation
must be made at the present session.
Owing to the short time clapsing after
the senate acts on the treaty and the
close of the present session. it is thought
that little time will remain to deal
with the matter of this magnitude.
There has been some talk of dealing
with the payment in n special appro-
priation bill, but this is not feasible. as
special bill has no privilege under the
rules and is easily open to obstruction,
whereas the general appropriation bills
carry unusual privileges and are al
most certain I'd pass before the session
ends. For this reason it is probable
that the payment will be placed in the
sundry civil bill or some other general
appropriation bill. If the provision is
retained in the treaty rs ratified
The appropriation committee has not
determined what appropriation bill to
take up next. 1t will be either the
sundry civil or the Notifications bill.
But in any event action on the Span
ish item is likely to be deferred unit,
action on the treaty is secured.
