Washington, March 4.-Rear Admiral
Farquhar, commanding the North At

gramme of the summer cruise of that
squadron along the New England coast
so as to have il at Boston on June Il,
in order to participate in the celebra-
ton .of the 125th anniversary of the
battle of Bunker Hill. An arrangement
to this effect has been made by Secre-
tary Long at the request of officials
and organizations of the city of Bos-
ton. The vessels of this squadron are
the New York, Texas. Detroit and Ma
chias.
1t is probable that the big battleship
Kearsarge. fitted out ut the Norfolk
Navy Yard, will be added 10 the fleet
within the next few weeks and take
part in the usual summer maneuvreS
along the New England coast She VIII
take the place of the New York as the
flagship of that squadron. As the New
York is greatly in need Of repairs it
is likely that as soon as relieved by the
Kearsarge she is to be put into dry
dock at New York for a thorough over
hauling.

He closed his speech by appealing for
"a continental union and a pure. civil
service for the islands"
Mr.. Beard relinquished the chair at
this point to Pres. Capen of Tufts Col
lege, who introduced Pres. Schurman
of Cornell.
Mr.. Schurman spoke eXtempora-
neously and made telling speech,
showing how the Philippine commits
sion had gone to the islands in order
to find out what the people wanted,
and then proceeded to give it to them.
Acting on their suggestion, the
President he said had now appointed
a new commission to carry out the

AN ANONYMOUS LETTER
Charges CharIestown's Officers with Intoxi
cation al the Time OF The Wreck.

Washington, March 4.-Sensationa
charges are contained in an anony-
nous letter which has been received at
the navy department from Manila
The communication relates to the
wrecking of the CharlestoWn, and
makes the serious statement that a
number Of officers Of the vessel at the
time of the disaster We're under the in
fluence of liquor. The correspondent
who furnishes the information claims
to have verified the allegations by dill
gent inquiry among the officers Of the
CharlestoWn. The letter was not plac-
ed on the official files on account of
the peculiar nature Of the charges. but
it has been referred to the judge advo-
cate general of the navy with instruc-
tons from Secretary Long that the
matter be investigated at once. This
inquiry will probably not take more
formidable aspect than that of note
of inquiry. addressed to the command
erin chief of the Asiatic station.
Naval officers here who have seen the
letter say there was nothing to justify
the charges and they believe the de
partment's inquiry will relieve the ac-
cused officers from the unwarranted
allegations. Captain Bigman, who
commanded the Charleston at the time
Of the wreck is not involved in any
OF the charges.
