A RECIPIENT OF MARINES.
1t Is Said That II Thousand Will Be
Landed at Cavite.

1t is said to be the intention of the Navy
Department to send 1000 marines to Ca
vite to take care of the nayys interests
there. 1t is the purpose to send a colonel
in command of these men, although until
the full regiment is on the scene the ma
rines will remain under the command of
Major Atway c. Bergman, the senior
officer of the corps now in the Philippines.
This seems to be q very large number of
marines to station at one navy yard, but
the explanation is that the Cavite station
is the largest in the possession of the
United States including about seventy
square miles of land, with thirteen miles
of water front. On the government lands
are many squatters and some small towns,
and large number of men will be re-
quired to thoroughly police this territory.
The work of repairing the three Spanish
gunboats raised in Manila bay is reported
to be progressing rapidly at Hong Kong,
under the direction of Constructor Cap,1s
and Assistant Constructor Hobson.. The
vessels said to be in excellent condi-
ton as to machinery, and even before they
went into dry dock to be repaired the Is,a
de LuZOn and the Isla de Cuba made
twelve knots under their own steam and
the Don Juan de Austria was only about
knot behind. The constructors reports
to the Navy Department show that the
other sunken Spanish warships have been
so badly damaged to be not worth the
cost of raising and repairing.

COAL FOR DEwEy'S FLEET.
1t is Also Sent From the Atlantic Sea
board.

The equipment bureau of the Navy De-
partment is now loading at Newport News
5000 tons of coal to be taken TO Manila.
This coal will go through the Suez canal
and thence to Admiral Deweys fleet.
All the coal used by the navy in the Phil
ippines and all coal stored at Honolulu is
sent from the Atlantic seaboard, mostly
from Newport News or Baltimore. The de-
partment has shipped 10000 tons to Manila
since the war began. The coal sent by
steamers goes through the Suez canal, and
that in sailing vessels around the Cape of
Good Hope. The trip through the canal
takes about fifty days and the sailing YES
sells make 1t in five months. The coal for
Honolulu is sent by way of Cape Horn.
Nearly all the sailing vessels used are
American, while most of the steamers are
British. There are very few large American
steam GOLFERS.
Some suggestion has been made that coal
might be taken from the Pacific coast but
the tests made of coal mined there have
not been satisfactory to the Navy Depart
ment. Some coal, but not much, has been
purchased in Australia and sent TO the Phil
iDpineS!

Presidential Amendments.
WHARF OWNERS TO BLAME.
The Supreme Court on the Sinking of
the Ellen TObfn.

The United States Supreme Court today
affirmed the decree of the District Court of
Appeals in the case of Charles G. Smith
and Charles c.. Smith, jr., appellants
against Charles Burnett. This was an ad-
miralty case, growing out of the sinking of
the schooner Ellen Tobin several years ago.
The Ellen Tobin was lying at the Smith
wharf in Georgetown loading, when she
suddenly began to fill with water. She
sank and then broke in two. II was found
that she had beea tied to the wharf over a
rock in the bed of the river, and the rock
was the cause of the sinking. The owners
of the schooner brought suit for damages,
while the wharf owners libeied the schooner
for sinking and obstructing the river in
front of the wharf The Court of Appeals
decided In favor of the schConer's owners
ana the case was appealed to the United
States Supreme Court
Chief Justice Fuller handed down the
opinion today affirming the decree Of the
lower court, holding that the court was
unable to decide that the Court of Appeals
was not justified in holding, on the ev-
idenoe. that the appellants were liableNfo
neglect and the want of reasonable care,
and that the master (of the schooner) was
free from contributory neglect

ADMIRAL SIMPSONS OFFER
Asks the President to Omit His Name From
Promotions
Does Not Want His Associate in the
Navy to Suffer on His
Account.

Secretary Long today made public the fol-
loving letter from Admiral Sampson, dated
~. S. Flagship New York, Havana, Cuba,
March 0. 1s99:'
THE President of the United States
through the Secretary of the Navy:
"Sir: l respectfully ask your attention
to the facts contained in this letter and
that it may be officially filed as part of my
record in the United States navy.
when the late war was threatening /
was placed in command of the North At
lantic fleet, and, after the declaration of
war, was appointed. by the President a
rear admiral and confirmed in my COM
mand. This duty and responsibility came
to me entirely unsought nor had any
especi"' wish for it, though recognizing
the honor then conferred upon me.
Ny soc aim was to achieve success; to
blockade Cuba destroy Cerveras fleet and
to maintain an efficient war fleet.
1T is not necessary to dwell upon the
incidents of the war which are all now
we'll known. Based upon these incidents
certain officers distinguished for faithful
service were named by me, in the eXer-
else of my natural duty as eommander"ln-
chief, for promotion or such other reward
as you, sir might deem desirable. Those
names YOU have been pleased TO nominate
to the United States Senate for promotion.
and YOU have done me the honor TO add my
name to that list of officers.
1T now appears that the Senate, though
well disposed to most of the names on that
list has for reasons not necessary to be
here discussed, objected to my promotion
and has similarly failed to confirm the de-
serving officers about whose merits there
has been no doubt or discussion.
Hitherto, Mr.. President, undisturhed by
any eager desire for advancement, or any
other form of reward for doing my duty,
have not specially concerned myself with
matters outside of that duty. l have felt
that have done my duty in the conduct of
the West Indian naval campaign TO the ut
most extent of my ability as thoroughly as
l was able; and If no reward should come,
that 1 could be satisfied with the con-
sciousness of having done my best. l did
not, however, anticipate that dissat;sfac-
ton with any act or acts of mine would
ca use the Senate to withhold from other
officers a promotion which they well de-
served, and which has baen promptly
granted IN similar circums tances to others.
Il therefore respectfully suggest Mr..
President. that your appointment of these
officers about whom there is no discussion
should at once be renewed, in order that
they may thus secure their promotions
under the personnel bill to which they are
entitled and without creating confusion.
Very respectfully,
(SigneD 'W. r. SAMPSON"

TO ENLIST THE NATIVES.
Gen. Henry Authorized to Raise Four
Companies in Porto Rico

The experiment of utilizing native troops
in the American army In outside territory
will first be tried in Porto Rico. Secretary
Alger recently te!egraphed ito Gen. Henry
commanding that military department. ask
ing his views as to the advisa bility of re-
cruiting a battalion Of the Inhabitants OF
the country in the army of occupation
Gen. Henry responded by telegraph, saving
that the experiment was worthy of trial.
Authority has accordingly been cablcd
him to recruit four companies, of ore hun
dred men each, from among the natives Of
Porto Rico. to be employed in such military
DUTY as he may think desirable. In the
opinion Of Gen. Henry the military en-
ployment of the natives will have an ex-
cellent effect upon the inhabitants Of the
island, as indicative of the friendly pur-
poses of the United States government. He
said that there was an abundance of good
material on the island from which to re-
cruit soldiers. In the absence of specific in
formation from Gen Henry of impending
troubles with the natives of Porto Rico the
officials of the War Department are salts
ned that the recent reports of II prospect
i've uprising are without solid basis

Wishard of the American mission, in the
Shimran, Persia, was forcibly entered and
robbed of personal effects to the value of
200 tomans. The burglary was committed
in the face of the usual guard of soldiers,

that the latter were cognizant or concurred
in the affair. The American minister took
prompt steps to detect and cause the ar
