Prominent Business Mon OF tho Capital
Take Charge of the Project.
Washington, Especial. )--Admiral Schley
VIII soon have u handsome residence in
Washington, and, like the other great sea
captain, Dewey. he will receive 1t from the
American citizens in recognition of his
services to his country. The organization
of the Schley Fund Board at the Arlington
Hotel insured this result. The several mem
bers In attendance had reports OF promised
contributions and aid In furthering the ends
OF the board, which assures a large sum at
the very inception of this undertaking.
The meeting was of the advisory board Of
the Schley Home Fund Committee, and the
executive committee of the Womens Indus
trial and Patriotic League. When the sew
eral members were gathered in the parlors
of the Arlington Miss Charlotte Smith made
an informal statement to the effect that the
women's organization, which is credited with
starting the home fund project, desired that
50 extensive and important an undertaking
should be placed In the hands of expert
enced and responsible business men, and the
league would be satisfied with lending all
its efforts to furthering the object Of the
fund board. An autograph album was ex-
hibited by Miss Smith which had been ap-
proved by Admiral Schley as a medium
through which subscriptions should be
solicited.
Inside the cover 1t bears notice to the pub
lie that its pages are for the autographs of
all who shall contribute the sum of 81 or
more to the Schley Home Fund. 1t is de-.
signed to place these albums in the principal
hotels, the Masonic lodge rooms and the
great clubs of the country where subscrip-
tions may be received, and the subscribers
may place their autographs in the albums
When sufficient sum has been obtained for
the objects OF the fund, these albums will be
returned to Washington and placed in the
library OF Admiral Schleys new home, to re-
main as enduring evidence of the love and
esteem OF the people OF the United States to
one OF the greatest naval heroes. 1t was not
finally determined whether or not this meth
cd of securing contributions would be
adopted.
Hon. John w. Ross was elected permanent
chairman Of the committee, which 1t was de-
clded to increase to one hundred members.
Mr.. Il. s. Johnson, president of the Citizens
National Bank, was made treasurer, and Mr..
W. A. Hungerford, proprietor OF the Evening
Star Advertising Bureau, was elected score
tary. A subcommittee ON ways and means.
to devise plans for securing subscriptions
was chosen as follows:
Mr.. BeriSh wilkins, proprietor of the
Washington Post chairman; Mr. Isadore
Saks, Mr.. L. S. Johnson, Mr.. Edwin b. Hay
and Mr.. W. A. Hungerford. The following
were elected members Of tho committee of
one hundreds Frank b. Noyes, stison Hut
chins, DIR. Dudley Morgan and Mr.. John
Shriyer. During the meeting all the mem
bers reported that subscriptions had been
promised them on every side, and Mr.. Saks
outlined plan by which he expects to In
dividually add an important sum to tho
fund.

SAMPSON PEOPLE INDIoNANT.

Their Sentiments voIced In Crownin-
shi"id's Keport--H He Arrsigns Congr~".
Washington. Especial There are three
features OF interest above all others in the
annual report OF Admiral Crowninshield,
chief OF the Bureau Of Navigation, just made
public. First Is mn arraignment OF Congress
because OF the failure to reward the officers
recommended for advancement as result
OF the battles around Cuba; second, the
recommendations for n change in the present
system of receiving ships, and, third, the
suggestions touching the new system Of
training landsmen.
Under the first head the Admiral writes:
Another condition OF affairs discourag-
ing to proud and ambitious officers who have
risked and accomplished much is the ragged
and irregular result that seems an inevitable
consequence OF any effort to give permanent
or substantial official recognition to bravery
gallantry or devotion.
"Of the officers who served In tho North
Atlantic waters, three have been confirmed
In the recognition urged by the department
two because their cases were presented at
propitious moments, the other because of II
misrepresentation. The rest, numbering
among them every gallant captain at San
tiago on July 3, and all the brave captains Of
the ever-ready gunboats, numbering among
them officers who risked their lives in many
desperate expeditions cable cutting, as
spies, seeking information, blocking and
Dlockading harbors, scouting numbering
among them all those who hesitated not, and
including ut the head OF all the able and do
termined officer who planned. worked out
and executed the whole campaign, and who
finally consummated the one victory which
was vital to the cnemy-he and all the rest
have absolutely nothing. The greatest
among those has not as much as the medal
which was given to each of the hundreds
who shared In victory won in more pro-
pitious hour"
The number Of sailors in the navy, in
cluding petty officers. at the end of the fiscal
year was 14,501, and $500 of these were
serving under continuous service certih-
Gates. Over 46 per cent. of the petty officers
were native born; over 80 per cent. of the
foreign born were naturalized. and S8 per
cent. of the whole number were citizens Of
the United States, while 65 per cent. of the
remainder had declared their intention to
become citizens Over 81 per cent of the ap-
prentices were native born. and over GA per
cent of the whole enlisted force were native
born.
Upon the subject of receiving ships. Ad-
miral Crowninshield points out the great
expense OF maintaining such ships in condi-
ton, with the result that. after all they are
nothing more than floating houses. They
should give way, he says, to permanent bar
racks on shore.

Manila, (By Cable 80. General Hughes,
commanding in the Visayan district, has
sent In an encouraging report. He says the
lsiahd OF Negros Is now more peaceful and
orderly than for twenty years. The planters
are pursuing their business undsturbed by
the bands OF brigands, who had long levied
tribute on them. The Americans have scat
tered the brigands, and propose to pursue
taeM until they are eifectually suppressed.
General Young's column is now at Caban-
atuan, north Of San Isidro.
Colonel Parker, with two troops of the
Fourth Cavalry, took possession of the de
serted town OF AliaSa. Captain Batson cap
tured telegraph operator and his escort,

surBeht colonel, reporting that General Law

pouy had been sent to Manila. The operator
audeu that 900 Insurgents were approaching

Fourth Cavalry, charged the towns Of Tala-
vera and Cobal, dispensing $50 insurgents

arrived mere. She was captured while rum

All signs show that General Young's rapid

and sick men, and the former arc taking
their arms to the Americans.
The cayalrys rapid movements are a
