SAMPSON GOES TO BOSTON.
Admiral Farquhnr 10 Command the
North Atlantic Station.

An order was issued yesterday by the
Navy Department detaching Admiral
Sampson from command of the North At
lartic station and assigning him to the
command of the Boston navy yard. The
order viii not take effect until after the
Dewey celebration at New York.
Rear Admiral Farquhar, now in COM
mand OF the Norfolk navy yard, has been
ordered to succeed Admiral Sampson in
command of the North Atlantic station
and squadron.
The selection of Admiral Farquhar to
succeed Admiral Sampson causes some
surprise in naval circles, as it was gem
orally understood that Rear Admiral
George G. Remey, commandant OF the Nor
folk navy yard, would take command OF
the station and squadron On Admiral Samp-
sons detachment. and that Admiral Far
quhar would be assigned TO the command
Of the South Atlantic station on the re-
tirement for age, on October 10, of Rear
Admiral Henry l.. How1son, who is on
his way to New York from South America
on his flagship the Chicago. No explana-
ton is obtainabie at the Navy Department.
1t was binted yesterday that Admiral Remey
would not be assigned TO the South Atiahtlc
station. His record is excellent ana the
department has been anxious TO reward
him for his Willingness TO take cnarge OF
the Key West naval base during the war
with Spain, an assignment that meant
much hard work and no glory. Admiral
Reney like all other naval officers, wanted
sea service at that time, but was unable
to get it. as he was entitled TO squadron
and there were not enough squadrons TO
go around. Cne report is that the Navy
Department contemplates giving Admiral
Remey command of the European squad
ron when enough vessels to revive 1t are
available.
Admiral Farquhar stands sixth from the
top OF the list of rear admirals- He has
been in command of the Norfolk navy yard
since June l. 1897. He was born on April
II. 1910. and appointed to the Naval Acad-
emy from Pennsylvania in 1884. He has
been chief of the Bureau of Equipment and
the Bureau OF Yards and Docks Of the Navy
Department. During the great Samoan hur-
ricane Of 1889 he was in command OF the
flagship Trenton, one of the American YES
sells wrecked. It was on the Trenton tbat
the famous human sail" was formed by
means of which the ship was saved
from going on the rocks al the en-
trance of Apia harbor where there would
have been little chance for officers and men
to escape alive. The crew Of the Trenton
were led into the rigging by Naval Cadet
+ Richard H. Jackson, and there Joined
hands on the yards, formed the human
sail" which afforded enough resistance TO
/ the wind to bring the Trenton to her helm.
/ Jackson did not pass high enough in his
I final examinations TO be retained in the
J service. but on accout of his heroism at
+ Apia he was given commission as an en-
I sign by authority of Congress. He married
a daughter Of Admiral Sampson. Admiral
Farquhar attained his present rank on
March 8. 1893, and has never been in COM
mand of squadron. He is a brother of for
mer Representative Farquhar of New York.

THOUSANDS WILL BE IN LINE.
The Dewey Land Parade in New York
Growing.

NEW YORK. Sept. 11-Major General
Roe, chairman of the COMMITTEES in charge
of the land parade in honor of Admiral
Dewey had a conference this morning with
Mr.. Guggenheimer, President of the Coun-
ell Secretary Foster, of the plan and
scope committee, and Gen. Howard
Carroll, who is chairman of the committee
on the naval parade. General Ros had
certain objections to make 10 the proposed
route. At the conclusion of the conference
Mr.. Guggenheimer announced that he
would call a meeting of the committee on
plan and scope for Friday morning. The
question OF the land parade route may be
reopened then; at any rate it will be
definitely settled.
Applications for places In the land par
ade are pouring in so fast on Major General
Roe that he expects there win be fully
90, 600 persons in line An example of the
interest shown by outside organizations is
furnished in the application filed today by
500 Spanish war veterans OF Lorain, Ohio,
for place. Word has come from the Tenth
Pennsylvania, just back from the Philip
pines, that they will be on hand. Gen.
o. o. Howard will probably command the
regiment of G.. A. r. men, and Gen.
Roger A. Pryor will lead the regiment Of

DFsTITUTIoN IN PORTO RICO.
General Davis on the Condition OF
Hurricane Sufferers.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-GovernorGenera
Davis. OF Porto Rico, has written let
ter to the Merchants Association relief
committee of this city. in which he says
concerning the present condition Of those
rendered destitute by the recent hurri-
cane On the island:
The fruit and most of the food crops
are totally destroyed. Upon these the peo-
PIE subsist living from hand to mouth and
without these there is nothing intrinsic
in Porto Rico, nor any food reserve upon
which they can live until new crop is
produced. I believe that the great problem
TO be solved is more a question of food
than anything else. and 10 supply this every
effort should be bent The human animal
can live here with very little clothing and
shelter. but without food there can be
only one result. II my conclusions as TO the
extent OF the destruction of food supplies
be correct, the stress OF hunger will be an
increasing cne from this forward for many
weeks, and We must prepare to feed more
than a quarter of d million people before
the earth can again bring forth fresh sup
plies. What this means is shown by a
simple mathematical computation. AT the
rate of one pound of food per day per per-
son, how many pounds of food would it take
to feed $50. 900 persons 119 days? We might
go further in our calculation by consid-
ering the cost of this food and of dis
tributing it, for even though all the military
resources of the island are being used in
distribution. nevertheless the expense of
getting the food to the hungry viii be ap-
proximately about s per cent Of the cost of
the food. This cost cannot be much less
than a million and a half dollars, even
he af he FarOroSed rfpa haanS and
Goldfish or bacon. Can We get that sum
And II we can, viii your committee be able
to prevent its going into anything but the
cheapest kind OF good food?"

fund, received s56S.50 today from the mayor
OF Cleveland. Other contributions from
various cities increased the fund TO $685.

No Indications of a Rupture Over
Samoa.

Berlin. April 10.-Since his interview
with Emperor William, United States
Ambassador White has met the German
minister of foreign affairs, Baron Won
Bu1ows and TINS British ambassador
here, Sir Frank Lascel1es, and has ca
bled the result at considerable length
in cipher to Washington. There is
nothing indicative of belligerence in the
dispatch. putsft related the desire of the
German government to stand by the
Berlin treaty and return to the pro-
ViiSonal arrangement made by the three
cOnsuls and Fastening the appointment
and work of the commission as much
possible. A foreign office official,
speaking for Baron Won BulOw, said to
the correspondent here of the Associated
Press today: I'VE have not received
dispatch from the commander of the
Fake and do not believe the story told
about the strained relations between
the commander of the German warShip
and Admiral Kautz. We would have
heard of it officially if it had been true.
I'VE have not received anw advices
confirming the proclamation of Consul
Rose. At any rate the argument of the
American press that Herr Rose is re-
Sponsible for the trouble is wrong as
such a proclamation, if issued. came
after the Admiral Kautz's action which
as mere considered to be violation or
the Samoa act. If Admiral Kautz sta
ted in his proclamation that all three of
the consuls had expressed Willingness
to annul the provisional government
Kautz stated an untruth and Herr Rose
could not be blamed for issuing a coun-
ter proclamation. However the Ger
man government is thus far insult
ficiently informed as to all of Herr
Roses doings and therefore will not as
sumo at the outset that Herr Rose is
right throughout. In any case, we
must await further news. The German
commissioner will be appointed within
a day or two. He will be thoroughly
unbiased. The appointment of c. N. FL

FUNSTON.

(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
Funston of Kansas, mark the name,
Won for himself enduring fame
When t the brink of the river wide
With the leaping foe on the other side.
He called to his men. Who follows me?"
Forward they rushed, by two, by three;
Forward they rushed, all free from dread,
To follow close where their colonel led
Into the tide he swiftly dashed.
Into the tide his escort splashed.
Parting the waters with sturdy breast
They swan the stream on their daring
quest;
They swan the stream. each hatless head
A shining mark for tipping lead.
They SWAN the stream, they rushed pell
nell
Upon the foe, with curdling yell
They captured there a dusky band
Far larger than their own command.
That dripping line in damp array
Bore off the honors of the day,
And Funston, don't forget the name,
Found that he'd swan to deathless fame.
