WILL TAKE COMMAND ANY TIME.
Rear Admiral Schley Calls at the
Navy Department.

NuNy department.
Rear Admiral Winfield S. Schley visited
the Navy Department this morning and had
long conference with Acting Secretary
Allen in regard to his proposed assignment
to the command of the South Atlantic sta
ton. He expressed his readiness to as
sumo that command at the convenience of
the department, and was informed that the
cruiser Chicago, which has been selected as
his flagship, will be fully repaired and
ready for sea by the 25th instant AL
though it is practically settled that Ad-
mlral Schley will command the South At
lantic station, the formal orders to that
effect will not be issued for several days
to come. Meanwhile, Admiral Schley will
continue his present detail as president of
the naval retiring board. He has arranged
to pay visit to friends in Georgia in a
few days.
While he was in conference with Acting
Secretary Allen today the party was joined
by Rear Admiral Farquhar, the new COM
mander of the North Atlantic station, and
by Captain Crowninshieid of the bureau of
navigation. AS Admiral Schey was leav
ing the department he was surrounded by
a crowd of excursionists and put through
ordeal of handshakihg. To the report
ers who approached him he said that there
was no significance in his visit to Acting
Secretary Allen; that he had called merely
to pay his respects and to discuss ordinary
routine naval matters During his recent
visit to the north he contracted a bad
cold but otherwise is in excellent health.
In accordance with Admiral Schleys re-
quest, Lieutenant Commander j. H. Sears
and Lieutenant Wells will be assigned to
duty on his staff on his next cruise. These
officers held similar connection with the
admiral during the Spanish war. Lieuten-
ant Commander Sears is at present on the
Kearsarge, and on that account it may be
difficult to relieve him at once. Lieutenant
Wells, on the other hand, is practically
free being engaged In recruiting duty at
the naval recruiting station at Chicago.
