REMY SUCCEEDS WATSON.
Trouble in the Fleet Leads to the
Latter's Retirement.

Latter 8 Retirement.
NEW YORK, March 7.-(Afternoon
Service "A special to the Herald from
Washington says: 1t is said that there
has been some friction between Rear
Admiral Watson and officers of his
fleet. Commander h. ID. Taussig was
summarily detached from the command
Of the Bennington and ordered home
for alleged criticism of the command
er in chief, though It Is said that Com
mander Taussig was not insubordinate.
There has also been friction between
the Rear Admiral and the Bureau Of
Navigation relative to his CHEZ OF
staff.
Rear Admiral Watson several
months ago desired Commander c. {.
Cornwall 10 act as his chief of stan
and assigned him 10 the duty, bu. the
Department disapprOved his action.
only recently the Department ordered
Captain Charles NJ. Thomas to COM
mand the Brooklyn. Rear Admiral
Watson transferred Captain James ~
Forsyth from the Baltimore to the
Brooklyn, and, It is said, gave al ex-
PLANTATION Of his action in compliance
with a request made by the Depart
ment.
Iue bachelor officers Of the feet have
also complained because the married
| officers whose wives were in Manila
were allowed 20 remain on shore with
out procuring permission from the
commander In chief one or two nights
a week, while the order OF the Rear
Admiral required the younger unmar-
red men 20 be on their ships after s
or O'Clock az night and not 20 remain
on shore without written permission.
Rear Admiral Wats)n's health was
such that he was temporarily relieved
from command several months ago,
though the fact was not made pubic,
The Baltimore will probably return
home under the command OF Captain
G.. +. +. Wilde, who now commands
The Oregon. and who has been two
years on the Asiatic station. Captain
Thomas viii probably be transferred
10 the Brooklyn and Captain Forsyth
20 the Oregon. Officers whose t5u.s of
duty at sea are about expiring Will De
. brought home in the Baltimore. These
b changes Will not be determined upon
, until Rear Admiral Remy reaches Ma
Mia. He Will succeed Watson in com.

The lack Of water in the Nuuanu
reservoirs is z serious matter at any
time, notably so when fires break out
We have already suggested that the
mountain range Eva Of the reservoirs
be tested witt a diamond drHI to see If
tunnel flow cannot be easily and
eheapiy secured, which viii keep the
reservoirs fun at all seasons. such an
experiment would be worth trying.
The only other ways to get a perma-
nent Nuuanu supply are to build big
storage reservoirs further up the val
ley or go to the expense OF pumping
water from artesian wells on the lower
levels
