RODGERS TO JOIN REMEY
THREE ADMIRALS FOR THE ASIATIC
STATION.
IrcoGNITIoN OF THE IMPORTANCE OF
AMERICAN INTERESTS IN
THE ORIENT.
THE ORIENT
rsr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE

washington. Nov. 2S.-Iu recognition Of the
large American interests in the Western Pacific
Secretary Long has decided to add another flag
ca5cer 10 the feet in those waters, and Rear
Admiral Frederick Rodgers has been ordered to
prepare TO join Rear-Admiral Remey and Rear
Admiral Kempn as second in command. He has
selected the armored cruiser New York for his
Aacship and orders have been given have
that vessel ready to start for China by February
: Rear Admiral Rodgers will go out TO the
Pacific by way Of Suez, and when he arrives
there three distinctive peanants will fly for per-
hsps the first time in the American Navy.
Rear-Admiral Rodgers. who is popularity
known in the service as Turk Rodgers. has
been president Of the Board of Inspection ever
since the Spanish war. His service has closely
pa-aUeled that of Rear-Admiral Kempf. who
will become third in command the station
under the new orders. The two entered the ser
vice together on September .. 1857 and became
rear-adrnirals together on March g. 1879. Naval
officers regard them as perhaps the best of1cers
OF their grade III the service. and express some
disappointment that the feet in the East could
not BE- divided equally between them without
making them subordinate TO any other officer.
. Secretary Long said this morning, however.
thar no change is contemplated in the command
Of the station. and that the detail Of Rear
Admiral Rodgers is merely 10 give Rear-Ad-
rniral Rerney much needed assistance. Owing
70 the large size Of the Asatic Squadron and the
important duties devolving upon It just at pres
ent. in consequence Of the troubles IN emma
and the Philippines, 1t has been thought eX-
pedient 10 divide the responsibilities OF the
Navy il that quarter among three adnirals IN
stead Of between TWO, as al present. rear , -
uIral Rerney the the senior officer, will continue
N supreme command Of the naval forces. and will
act IN the character Of general manager OF the
operattons Of the feet. II VIII remain for him 10
decide whether he VIII take station ashore al
Manila or direct operations from on board OF one
he baT 3eeh Wi into
two divisions. one operating in Chinese waters
and the ether in the Philippine Archipelago.
Admiral Rodgers Will undoubtedly be placed in
command Of the Chinese feet, giving him the
most important squadron. and If Admiral Rerney
elects to remain afoat IN command Of the gun
boat fotills Admiral Ken1pf will be assigned
70 the command Of the Cavite Naval Station
The chances are very strong that either Ad-
rnt-al Rernev or Admiral Kenpff or both will
decide 70 come home for retirement

UPTOWN POSTOFFICE BILL.
POSTMASTER VAN COLT THINKS THE
CHANCES FOR GETTING IT REPORTED
ARE BETTER THAN EVER

Postmaster Van Cott returned Yesterday from
Washington where he has been comforting with
the Postofnce authorities regarding the appropria-
ton bill for postotfice in this city. IN speak
ing Of the matter NJ. Van Cott said he thought the
prospects for the passage of the bill brighter than
The bill would undoubtedly be bly, re-
ported by the House committee Of which Congress
Mercer OF Nebras ska, is chairman. The bill
present drafted calls for an appropriation Of
s. 10000 for the erection Of an uptown postoffce
In explaining the matter. Postmaster Van Colt
SAID.
Many persons seen, to have the idea that with
the building OF the Office uptown the present
main Office will be practically abandoned, or turned
into a mere branch Office. That idea is erroneous.
The executive Offices Of the Postoffce will prob
ably remain IN their present quarters. The only
change will be that will have more room 70
work in. Those who fear that the downtown office
Will be removed viii be the very persons to be
benefited in the greatest degree. With new Of
fee much Of the mail that now comes downtown
and is separated and sent uptown again will be
taken care Of uptown. and thus not only will
earlier deliveries be the result Cut by easing up
on the downtown mail prompt and frequent deliv-
cries be made In this district"
Postmaster Van Cott was asked about the new
branch postohce for foreign mail at West and Nor
ton SITS. He that it was practically compIet-
ed, and the department would be removed the
new building from the crowded quarters in the gen
eral Postoffce early next week.
I think Mr.. Van Colt said that II will pay
the Government 70 increase the facilities in New
york not only IN the way Of rapid distribution Of
delivery throughout city local mail and also
by increasing the efficiency OF the special delivery
the Government about s. 10000 annually in adj
dltjon to all the expenses"
