SAMPSON A SICK MAN
CONDITION SHOWS LITTLE CHANGE
FOR THE BETTER.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11-Medical re-
ports indicate that Admiral Sampson is
recovering from the fatigue of his jour-
ney south, and that the more favorable
surroundings of his present home are
working for his betterment. Beyond a
little added rightness in his bearing, how
ever, it is stated that his condition re-
mains practically unchanged. The in
tense headaches from which he suffers
recur less frequently than heretofore.
and this in itself is a great relief to him.
The admiral continues to take short
walks, accompanied usually by Mrs
Sampson. The principal obstacle in the
treatment of his case is said to be a
great constitutional weakness, which
makes it impossible for his system to re-
spond to the physicians treatment. Re-
curing periods of absolute forgetfulness
have depressing effect on the patient

DISCUSSED BY CHIEF CT NAvIGA.
TION CROWNINSHIELD IN
ANNUAL REPORT
NEED FOR MORE SAILORS
Department Faces an Alarming
Shortage, Both of Commissioned
Officers and of En-
listed Men.
WOULD HAVE VICE ADM1RALs

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-In his annual
report to the secretary of the navy, Rear
Admiral Crowninshield, chief of the navi-
cation bureau, speaks of the reduction
made during the past year in the strength
of the Asiatic fleet, which was drawn
upon to furnish two vessels to re-estab-
lish the European station and will be
further diminished in order to permit of
the commissioning of at least two train
ing ships and an increase of the North
Atlantic squadron by two gunboats and
Of the Pacific squadron by possibly one.
1t is particularly desirable to have some
small ships for gulf service on the At
lantic side. 1t is said that the operations
on the Asiatic station were marked by
uniform success and that the conduct of
our sailors and marines in China in the
main was all that could be asked for.
The American fleet in connection with
the army in the Philippines, it is stated,
has hampered materially the inflow of
arms and munitions to the islands.
A new system of recruiting the navy
was adopted, recruiting officers going to
different parts of the country instead of
waiting until the men presented them
selves at recruiting ships. The system is
said to have been an undoubted success.
Much attention has been devoted to
gunnery training and the report says that
the department is about to undertake a
long-cherished project and establish two
gunnery training ships on the Asiatic sta
tion.
The department is about to follow up
the precedent established last year in the
creation of a torpedo boat reserve station
at Norfolk by establishing four other
stations at Port Royal, Charleston. Pen
sacola. and a second one at Norfolk.

MORE OFFICERS NEEDED.

There are not enough line officers to
man the ships already constructed, when,
in three years, the vessels now under con-
struction shall have been completed the
number of officers necessary to man them
and a few auxiliary vessels. would be no
less than 1000 and the problem presented
is how these officers can be secured in
the short time remaining. At present the
line of the navy under the personnel act,
and as fed from Annapolis, is increasing
only at the rate of 10 per year in num-
Der (forty officers being retired arbitrar-
ily each year,, which would make 80 for
the three years. According to Admiral
Crowninshield, the only remedy is to in
crease the number of cadets at the naval
academy to not less than 800. 1t is recon-
mended that beginning with the next con-
gress there shall be allowed at the
academy two naval cadets for every rep
resentative or delegate, two for each
senator, one for the District of Columbia
and ten at large annually and that the
course be limited to four years.
Another striking recommendation of
Admiral Crowninshield under this head
of personnel, is that four vice admirals
be created, reducing the number of rear
admirals to fourteen If necessary. 1t is
said that the United States often has
been placed in humiliating position on
important occasions abroad by reason of
the low rank of it's naval representatives.
The report closes with an earnest recon-
mendation for the creation of a national
naval reserve.

NAVY BARRACKS NEEDED.

Admiral Crowninshield declares that
the time has come wnen in the interest
of the health of the sailors, of their cor
rect drilling, of their comfort and of
economy, the United States navy should
follow the example of every first class
navy and provide barracks in place of
receiving ships. It is fgureda that the
government would save annually by this
course nearly $15O000,OO0 or the interest
on twice the sum required to provide bar
racks for 5000 men. It is recommended
that congress appropriate for such bar
racks at New York $S00,000; and for
League island and Mare island 100000
each.
Sailors were enlisted during the year to
the number of 1885, making the total men
in service 1925. From this number there
were 3.15S desertions.
The beginning of general staff of the
navy is foreshadowed in a transmitted
recommendation of Capt. Sigsbee, the
chief intelligence officer, looking to a
combination in the department of the
work of the general board, the war coll
lege and the Office of naval intelligence
to begin Systematically general staff
work.
