Under the naval personnel bill Ad-
miral Dewey will receive $4,000
whether on duty at sea or on shore.
The senior rear admirals' pay is fixed
at 81, 500 at sea and SG,375 on shore.
Rear Admiral Schley is in this list,
but only receives the minimum amount
as he is assigned to shore duty. The
junior rear admirals receive S., 500
while on sea duty and Si,675 on shore.
Rear Admiral Sampson is in the junior
list, but having command at sea re-
ceives the maximum pay. Should

ped in his administration of affairs in
Cuba by the absence of a large number
of officers from the regiments. In Il
cablegram received at the war depart
ment he complains of its action in ex-
tending the leaves of absence
10 their homes on short vacations.
Not only does the absence of n full
quota of officers materially increase
the labors of those who remain on
duty, Gen Brooke states, but it de-
noralizes discipline in the ranks. The
war department will hereafter be more
rigid i'll the rules for government of
