PUT OFF UNTIL DECEMBER
No Action to Be Taken on SIMPSONS Sug-
gestion.
Interpretation of His Request by
officers of the Navy-Nominations
Will BE Sent in Again.

Secretary Long has concluded not to act
in accordance with the suggestion made by
Rear Admiral Sampson in his letter pub
lished in yesterdays Star, for the promo
tion of all the officers distinguished for gal
iantry In the Spanish war, and who failed
OF confirmation al the last session of the
Senate, about whom there is no discus
sion." At the Navy Departme it is as
sGmed that Admiral Sampson's reference
to deserving officers about whose merits
there has been no doubt or discussion" APP
plies to all the officers nominated for pro-
motion on account of war services, with the
notable exceptions of himself and Admiral
Schley.
In this view of the case the adoption of
his suggestion would operate against Ad-
mlral Schley, as we'll as against Admiral
Sampson, for the reason that there was
equally as much discussion over Admiral
Schiey's nomination as there was over that
of Admiral Sampson. Admiral Sampson
may have intended to have exempted him
sell alone from advancement but officers
Oh the navy say that his reference to Off
GERS whose merits had been the subject of
doupt or discussion applies equally as
much to the case of Schey as it does TO
that of Sampson
According to Secretary Longs determine
uon, the matter will be allowed 10 remain
just as 1t stands until the next meeting of
congress, when it is the intention to send
Al :iI the naval nominations that failed of
dctlon at the last session of Congress
1t is therefore apparent thar The coptro-
NerSy over the relative merits of Sampson
ana Schley will be renewed at the coming
session of Congress in December next In
case OF favorable action al that time Samp-
son will stand number four in the Iist of
rear adinlrals and Schley number five in
stead OF as at present, with Schley number
hlne ana Sampson number eleven. Schley
mas the advantage of rank at the present
tlne, as IN addition to being two numbers
ahead OF Sampson he has the rank and
pay OF ma)@r general in the army while
sampson, being in the second division of
rear admraIS, has only the rank and nav
OF a brlgadier general of the army The
confirmation of the failed nominations
would have placed both officers well up in
the first division of rear admirals Not
Withstanding the difference in numbers the
two officers now about even in the
matter OF pay. Sampson receives the high
est pay of his grade commander-in-chef
of the north Atlantic station (sea paw
While Schley, being on waiting orders gets
only the lowest pay of his grade. Admiral
Schley has been extremely anxious to Sc
cure sea command, but the officials of the
department say there is none available. In
the remote possibility of the re-eStabliSh-
ment of the European station within the
next year or so, Admiral Schley will prob
ably receive that command, but that is a
matter for the somewhat distant future.

TO CONVOY THE MEADE.
The Cruiser Chicago VIII Accompauy
the Treasure Shin to Havana.

At the request of the War Department.
and for the greater security of the s5,009, 900
sent to Cuba for the payment of the Cuban
army, the Secretary of the Navy detailed
the cruiser Chicago to convoy the treasure
ship Meade formerly the Berlin, from
Hampton Roads to Havana The Meade
left New York Saturday, and was joined by
the Chicago at Hampton Roads yesterday
Both vessels left in the afternoon for Cuba
Although 1t is not likely that any body
OF men would have attempted to intercept
the treasure ship on the hign seas, the Off
Gals deemed 1t a wise precautlon to guard
against any such possibility. The presence
OF the Chicago, which since ker rejuvena-
ton Is one of the most formidabl vessels
OF the American navy, will undoubtedly in
sure the Meade safe trip to the Cuban
capital. The Chicago will al once return
u Hampton Roads to be fitted out for a
two years cruise on the South Atlantic sta-
ton as the flagship of Rear Admiral Howl
son. VINO has been detailed as commander
ln-chief of the naval forces on that station.
When the Meade arrives at Havana Pay
master General Carey, who is in charge of
the government funds on that vessel, will
transfer the S3,000,OO0 to Gen. Brooke, COM
manding the division of Cuba and ii will
be for that officer to arrange for its safe
and equitable distribution among the Gu

SMOKELESS VIDE
Establishing Government Plant at Indian
Head.
1t Will BE Capable of Turning Out
5000 Pounds a Day of the
Finest Material.

The Navy Department is ready to take
whatever steps may be necessary in carry
ing out the provisions of the naval bill for
the purchase of smokeless powder during
the coming year. Contrary to general i'm
preston, the bill, as finally passed, provid-
ed for either purchase or manufacture of
this powder, as the department should de-
eide. 1t is not intended however, to an
tagonize the commercial interests involved
in this very technical line of manufacture
by throwing the whole burden of produc-
ton upon the government plants. 1t is
true that the government has plant at
Indian Head, which, when completed, will
turn out maximum product of about 5000
pounds day. But this will in no way
compete with the private manufacturers.
The amount will hardly be sufficient to sup
ply one of the big warships in the navy for
a year What the government plant will
do however, is to set and maintain stand
ard of excellence in the smokeless powder
line Heretofore the government has been
compelled 10 purchase such of this material
as it could get, but experiments at Indian
Head and Newport have reduced the prob
lem of manufacture to a scientific basis.
SmOkeless powder is no longer a patent
and mysteriously secret compound, but the
product of exact chemical research which
the government has carried to the extreme
limit of practical refinement The navy
now has a powder known to the profession
as pyro-Cellulose, which is equal to if not
better than any smokeess powder used by
foreign powers.
Its manufacture has been reduced to the
simplest basis of chemical combination, and
far as further development on this line
is concerned the navy thinks it has the end
in sight. Any material Improvement must
be in the nature of new departure both
to material and manufacture of the
most radical kind. This is such remote
possibility that it is not being seriously
considered just now. Experimental work is
still being carried on at Newport. but the
material which will be turned out by the
Indian Head plant soon as that is finish
ed may be regarded as the standard for
the world.
Contrary to reports. the new powder,
which has been tested by the navy under
service conditions. is not only not injurious
to the guns now in use, but has been so
nicely adjusted to their requirements that
1t has increased their efficiency on an aver
age of 500 foot-seconds There are no large
contracts for new powder in immediate
prospect, the two firms upon which the
government places its principal dependence
having already contracts for a considera BILE
time ahead. The new contracts will be dis
trfbuted as the necessity for them arises.

INDIAN UPRISING FEARED.
Those at Leech Lake. Mimi, Stirring
Up Trouble.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. March H.
Michael GOgins. well-knOwn and cOnserv-
ative pine cruiser, says that the Leech
lake Indians are ready for any sort OF
deviltry- They have been holding councils
TWO or three times a week and the proceed
ings are kept very quiet. The Indians
grievance is based on a fear that after
prospective pine sales are over they will
still be in debt, something that has been
known TO happen before. Gogins says the
Indians could muster. in case of trouble,
fully 1,2OU fighting men, nearly all armed.
The government has lately ordered the two
companies Of the 9TH Infantry away from
Fort Smelling, and the state now has no
available military force except newly or

The Thetis to Investigate Condition.
Attending Reindeer Life

The Navy Department has turned over to
the treasury the arctic exploring craft
Thets, formerly one of the old steam whal-
ers. She is now lying at the Mare Island
yard, San Francisco, but. will be promptly
fitted out for a voyage TO the north Pacific
to carry on the reindeer investigation in
which the treasury has been interested for
several years past. She will proceed to
Hakodate, the most northern point of the
Island of 1eZo, where her headquarters will
be established. She will inquire closely into
the conditions surrounding the reindeer
herds of that part of the world, the supply
and demand and the rate of reproduction
and tie status of the experiments that have
been tried ard are now being prosecuted on
the American side of the Pacific
The reports that have come to the Treas
ury Department as 10 the failure of the
reindeer importation scheme in Alaska have
been so fragmentary and contradictory
that 1t IS desired to round up all the infor-
nation obtainabe in Il single official report
The Thetis will be officered and manned by
the revenue marine The Thetis is one of
the old artic campaeners of the Navy De-
partment, being the vessel which Admiral
then Captain, Schley. sailed north to the
relief OF the Greely expedition.

NEW RECRUITING STATIONS.
Preparations for Enlistments for tn
Regular Army.

The following additional recruiting sta

of enlisting men to fill the regular army up
to the maximum of 65,000 allowed by the
army law:

ling, H.: Wheeling, West Va.
In addition to these stations the War De-
partment will have officers at every place
where volunteers are mustered out to enlist
such men as wish to remain in the army
Gen. Mckibbon, one of the officers who
was ordered mustered out yesterday, was at
the War Department today, and discussing
the subject of enlistment of volunteers. said
that many were willing to re-enlist but
they all first desired to go home with their
regiments and see their families and friends.
Gen. Corbin said that there would be no
difficulty about that, and the men could be
enlisted at their muster-out camps.

THE ARMOR PLATE PROBLEM,
to Find Out When the Sheath
ing VIII Be Needed.

The Navy Department is going ahead
with the armor problem for the ships now
under construction and to be laid down. as
though there were no doubt of its ability to
get all the armor it wanted at the reduced
price named in the naval appropriation bill.
1t was stated at the department today thai
a general inquiry was being conducted
TO the time armor would be needed in the
construction of the various vessels. This
will be a rather long work, but when it is
concluded the department will advertise
for a large amount, probably about 23,o00
tons at the $500 limit fixed by law. Until
the department sees what response this
advertisement meets with ii is impossible
to say what the next step will be. 1t is
thought, however that owing to the large
amount required. the offer may find some
takers among the firms which are able 20
fill the contract.
