WHY KEMPFF WAS SENT TO CHINA
The idea that Kempr was sent to Asia on ao-
count OF special fitness was demolished at the
time he went. His orders were simply the result
Of an effort in the Navy Department TO induce
him to go on the retired LIST voluntarily and
make vacancy for promotions all along the
line. Admiral Remey was chosen for senior
command in Asia on account Of his special fit
ness. There is no more capable officer in the
service Of the United States. He demonstrated
his ability in the Gillian incident, when he COM
PEELED the surrender Of the Itata in spite Of the
threats Of the Gillian commander, whose YES
sci was Of superior strength. and his conduct
Of the Key West base was one Of the conspiou-
Gus successes Of the war with Spain.

most brilliant men in the Navy, in command Of
KempT's flagship to equaliZe any Deficiencies

plain sailing, but since that time evaporation in

whether she will come here first is mat

be handled as if he were cut glass or

The curious lack Of heirs among the
generals concerned in the present war
is a matter worthy of note. Gen. Sy-
mons was childless. and now it comes to
light that Gen. Wauchope was the
same. Lord Roberts also has now no
son, and Gen. Butler, like Lord Wolse-
ley, but one child--a daughter. Lord
Kitchener is unmarried. Gen. Wau-
chope's estates will pass, after Mrs.
Wauchope's death, to her nephew, Mr.

name of de Moleyns was for long time
