REQUIREMENTS IGNORED,
Gen. Lee Administers a Rebuke t
Forces in His Department.

Brigadier General ]. NJ. Lee, who recent
ly assumed command of the Department
of Visayas in the Philippines, has felt call
ed upon to issue a general order calling
attention to the disregard "of the require
ments as to military bearing. dress and
courtesy on the part of some officers and
men in his command.
Enough orders have been issued" says
Gen. Lee, Ito remedy all these defects
and bring each command and every soldier
up to a standard which will be a credit to
the service, which, the department COM
mander is glad to state, is found to be
the case in several of the commands in the
departments; but in some cases the re-
quirements Of these orders are much neg
lected. Attention is again directed to the
orders on this subject and these will be
strictly enforced. 1t is enjoined upon all
officers to see that these orders are strict
ly complied with. they themselves setting
the example. Inspectors will bring any
dereliction in this regard to the special
attention of the department commander.
1t is hoped that with the regulations and
orders a guide and proper inclination
to perform military duties properly there
will be no further necessity of a rcitera-
ton OF orders on this subject"

ORDERS TO WARsHfPs.
Recent Instructions for Movement of
Naval Vessels.

Orders have been issued for the Nashville
to proceed south to relieve the Atlanta,
which for some time has been watching
American interests in San Domingo The
Olympia already has started to relieve the
San Francisco In Cuban waters. The lat
ter vessel will make a tour of inspection
through the West Indies before starting
for the European station. Reports received
here. from San Domingo especially, are
unsatisfactory and the State and Navy De-
partmentS are anxious for a clear under
standing of the situation. Recent advices
stated that the interest on the Dominican
government bonds held by Belgians was
five months overdue and that the agree
ment Of the bondhOlderS with the DOmini-
can authorities was that in case of failure
to pay the Belgians would be allowed to
take charge Of the customs houses.
Orders directing the battleship Wiscon-
sin to proceed to the ASiatic station have
been issued by the Navy Department. The
Wisconsin has been destined for that sta
ton for some time, but her departure was
delayed owing to extensive repairs the YES
sci has been undergoing at the BremertOn,
Wash, navy yard. Additional repairs to
those already made were recommended, hut
the officials here do not consider them
absolutely essential, and the vessel will
proceed to the ASiatic station without them,
stopping first probably at Yokohama. The
department officials say the departure of
the vessel for the far east at this time
is without special significance and that
they are simply putting into effect pro-
gram announced some time ago.
That the Navy Department might reas-
sure itself regarding the security Of the
gun mounts on the new monitors the Ne
vada was sent on a cruise off Cape Henry
some days ago to have her guns subjected
to a rigid test Her two twelve-inch guns
each were fired ten times several of the
rounds being together. The report shows
that neither the mounts nor the decks de-
welcomed weakness, and that both the big
and small guns worked admirably. 1t is
stated that the tests of the Nevada's guns
were very severe The result is considered
gratifying by the department.
