The New Rear Admirals.

Washington, March 2S.-The naval
board of promotion, consisting Of Rear
Admirais McNair, Howell and Howl
son completed it's work. today. ana SUD
mitted its report. The bard was con-
vened to determine the qualifications
OF those officers recently advanced to
the rank OF rear admiral, under the
terms Of the naval personnel bill. The
report passed fnvorably on all the Of
ftcers appointed. SO that all questions
of their advancement is removed. The
list is as follows:
Rear admirals. George c. Remey.
Norman H. FarQuhar. John c. Watson.
Henry b. Robeson. Winfield S. Schley.
Silas Casey. VIM. T. Sampson. Bart
lett J. Cromwell. John w. Philip.
Francis J. HigginsOn. Henry F. Pick
ing, Frederick Rodgers, Louis Kempff.
George W. Summer.
In addition TO this favorable action
was taken on Capt. Benjamin F. Day.
whose formal promotion to the rank of
rear admiral by appointment by the
President has not yet been made. The
retirement. today. of Rear Admiral
Robson caused vacancy which
makes capt. Day a rear admiral.
The report of the board is now to be
approved by the Judge advocate gen.
eral and by the secretary of the navy.
which, however. is merely formalty.
1t was stated authoritatlvely that it did
not contain word regarding the re-
spective merits of Rear Admirals
Schley or Sampson.
The adjournment of the board sum-
marily disposes of the published report
that il had called on Rear Admiral
Sampson for a fuller report on those
commodores serving under him during
the war with Spain, in order to deter
mine questions of promotion. An au-
thoritative statement was made that nc
requests Of this kind had been made
and no responses received as the board
had ample information on which to
base its conclusions.

that will then be fought.
