KoBBE TO BE A BRIGADIER.
Practically Settled That He Will FIJI
One of the Vacancies.

1t is practically settled that Col VIM.
A Kobbe, commanding the 35th Volunteer
Infantry will be appointed to one of the
existing vacancies in the list of brigadier
generals of volunteers. Col. Kobbe enter
ed the army as a private Of the 17Sth New

second lieutenant of the 10th Infantry in
the regular establishment and attained his
majority in the Sd Regular Artillery in

ton of which he was appointed colonel of

mained in the Philippines while his regi-
ment was being organized in this country,

CAPT. SIGSBEE'S NEW DUTIES.
VIII BE Chief of the Bureau of Naval
Intelligence.

Capt. Chas. D. Sigsbee is to be relieved
of command of the battle ship Texas about
December 1, and assigned to duty in the
Navy Department as chief of the bureau of
naval intelligence, post at present filled
by Commander Richard c. Clover. The lat
ter will go to London as naval attache of
the United States embassy there, relieving
Lieutenant Commander J. c. Colwell,
whose term of shore duty has expired. The
Importance of the naval Intelligence bureau
has increased from year to year since its
foundation, until now the direction of that
bureau is regarded as fully worthy of the
best efforts OF a captain in the navy.
Secretary Long has concluded to put the
battle ship Indiana out of commission at
New York while she is undergoing repairs
1t has been found that the repairs needed
are more extensive than was originally sup
posed, and as the department is in need of
sailors to relieve some of the men in the
Philippine fleet, whose time is about to ex-
pire, it Is believed to be desirable to avail
of the lndianaS crew for that purpose.
There Is to be no general disbandment of
the North Atlantic squadron, however,
though, owing to the fact that some of the
vessels, including the flagship New York
and the Texas will need some overhauling,
the usual winter maneuvers will be omitted
this year.

Movements of Naval Vessels.

The converted gunboat Viking was put
out of commission at the Norfolk navy
yard yesterday. 1t vas intended that this
vessel should be employed in the gulf
service, but owing to the fact that her ca
pacity in the matter of supplies is limited
to three weeks, it has been decided that
she is scarcely suited to such work. The
Caesar has arrived at St. Thomas from
which place she is conveying to San Juan
the coal which was purchased during the
Spanish-American war there by the Ameri-
can consul.
The torpedo boats which were employed
by Capt. Evans in keeping the course
cleared during the yacht races, have re-
turned to Newport from New York They
will probably be put out Of commission for
the winter at this place.

ARCHBISHOP CHAPELLE.
He Had Conference Today With
Secretary Root.

Archbishop Chapelle, apostolic delegate
to the Philippines had a conference with
Secretary Root at the War Department this
morning. He was accompanied by Father
Mckinnon of the LIST California Volunteers.
He would say nothing of his Philippine
plans except that he expected to sail for
Manila by one of the United States trans
ports, probably the Sherman, early in De-
cember. His stay in the islands, he said.
would depend entirely on his success in es-
tablishing friendly relations between the
insurgents, the clergy and the American
authorities. This was the principal object
of his visit and he expected to devote as
much time to 1t as occasion required, and
he hoped for ultimate success. He will be
secretary.

ENTITLED TO BOUNTY.
Iowa's Name Omitted by Mistake
From List of Destroyers,

The attention Of the Judge advocate of
the navy has been called to the fact that
his last annual report omits the battle ship
Iowa from the list of vessels which appear
to be entitled to share in bounty for the
destruction of the Spanish cruiser Reina
Mercedes. An investigation shows that the
omission was mistake in the report and
not one of fact, as the name of the Iowa
and the papers relating to the claims of her
officers and men were transmitted to the
Court of Claims with the names of the
other vessels which participated in the de-
struction Of the Reina Mercedes, or were

MORE MARINES FOR WATSON.
Secretary Long Orders Another Bat
TALON to Cayite.

Secretary Long has issued an order for
the dispatch of another battalion of ma
rineS to Cavite, the naval station near
Manila. The marines are now being gath
cred together from Washington, League
Island and Boston, and will probably be
transported to the Philippine on the
cruiser Buffalo now being fitted out for
sea service though this has not yet been
finally determined. These marine REIN
forcements sent at the special request
of Admiral Watson, commanding the
Asiatic station, who, IT is understood, de-
sires them for service on the Island OF
Cebu. There are already two battalionS
of marines at CaVite, and the proposed re-
enforcement will swell the number To- about
600 marines The necessity for additional
troops in Cebu is due to the fact that the
inhabitants are engaged in a sort of guer-
rilla warfare or brigandage, and are caus-
ing much trouble and damage by their
operations. At present there is only a
small portion of the 2Sd Infantry on the
island, and it is understood to be Admiral
Watsons purpose to establish a marine
garrison there to cooperate with the army
whenever necessary.
The Situation on Guam.
Capt. Richard p. Leary, the naval gov-
ernor of the Island of Guam, in a recent
report to the Navy Department. suggested
the advisabiIity of increasing the marine
force at his command. Although the ma
tives of that far-distant island are not like
ly to prove dangerous enemies to the
United States, il may be thought advisable
to- strengthen the naval garrison on that
island for the protection Of the property of
the government. The naval officials are
not all apprehensive over the situation in
Guam, and feel that il does not require
immediate attention. Consequently, all the
available marines I'm this country are to be
sent to the Philippines. whence a force
could be dispatched To Guam in case of an
emergency. The natives of Guam are prac-
tically without modern arms and ammuni-
tion. and 50 are not in condition to justify
them in making a hostile demonstration
against the small but wel-equipped force
under Capt. Leary. The latest information
from the island indicates that the Ameri-
cans are making good progress in placating
the natives and improving their condition.
So far as known, the inhabitants are well
disposed toward the representatives of this
and not likely to rebel against
their authority.

Secretary Root had an extended talk to-
day with Col. A. S. Frost, who is just back
from the Philippines, and was able to give
the Secretary much valuable information
on the condition of affairs in the fighting
sections. Col Frost is one of the active
young officers of the regular army, being a
captain of the 2Ld Infantry, and was chosen
for this reason to command the South Da-
kota regiment, which has seen such severe
lighting throughout the recent campaigns.
Secretary Root was much impressed with
Col. Frost's recital.
