Washington, d. c., June 29.-The new
regulations prescribing the uniforms OF
nava. officers have been issued. Few ma
terial hcanges are made in the existing
dress, but for the first time in many years
provision has had to be made for distin-
gushing the admiral from other flag Of
ficers. and while Admiral Dewey's mod
esty will not be shocked by a revival OF
the gorgeous raiment of the officers of that
grade. he will be conspicuous enough to
satisfy most OF his admirers. He will not
need to make any alterations in the eight
costumes he must wear on various occa-
sions, but his epaulets, sleeve ornaments.
collar devices and cooked hat viii have TO
be specially manufactured before he
passes Gibraltar. flor the regulations, which
were approved. will go into effect prac-
tically as soon as they are received by
officers. and the copies have been mailed.
To distinguish the admiral. the following
points are TO be noted: He will have on
his sleeves near the cuffs. two stripes Of
two-inch gold lace. with one stripe be-
tween, set one-quarter of an inch apart. A
rear admiral will have only one two-inch
stripe, with half-inch stripe ust above II.
Captains have four Of the half-inch
stripes and ensigns have one. The epau-
lets Of all flag officers are the same, but
those Of the admiral are embellished with
four silver stars Of FIVE rays each. placed
equi-distant from each other in the middle
OF the strap or frog Of the epaulet. with
gold foul-anchor. one ard one-eighth
inches long, under each Of the two outer
stars. while rear admirals have only two
stars. one near each end OF the frog. with
