the War Department to-day between Mr.. Darling.
Acting Secretary of the Navy, and Mr. Sanger,
Acting Secretary Of War to settle the long pend
ing controversy between Governor Taft and Rear
Admiral Evans. commanding the Asiatic Station.
The controversy has become rather strained at
times. and this Is not the first time these depart
meuts have been appealed to- The question at issue
is whether naval officers attached to the Asatc
Station and detailed for duty In the Philippine ISL
ands are under the jurisdiction of the commander
IN chief of the Asatic Station the Civil Governor
of the Philippines.
It is charged that Admiral Evans has been in
the habit of detaching naval officers from duty in
the Philippines without consultation with Governor
Taft. He recently ordered Lieutenant Commander
James NJ. Helm. who since March. 1899. has been
duty at Cavite to return to the fleet Governor
Taft desired Lieutenant Commander Helm to re-
main duty at Cavita
No definite decision was reached at the confer
ence to-day. Mr.. Darling said Secretary Moody
had previously passed this same matter. and he
did not care TO go back on the Secretarys action
Meanwhile the order for Lieutenant Commander
Helms detachment stands.

GENERAL CHAFFEE'S COMMENTS.
So much for the mimic war. Now here is the
practical comments that Major General Chaffee
had to make the situation in terms of actual
war to-day. He said:
The present operation Is not one that would
be duplicated in real war Fleets would then
try avoid rather than attack such forts as
we have here. OF course they might lombard
the forts. Then, if they had troops in convoy
they might land them further down the coast
as General Skaters troops were landed IN
Cuba. The present operation Of the fleet seems
10 me to compare with the operation OF the
monitors against Charleston in the Civil war:
When we landed in China, we had not rugged
coast, but fiat Then the fleet got be-
hind, going past the forts the river, where
the Cinnamon would never have let them come.
1 imagine, had they known that the guns of
the fleet would be used them
The forts here are nearly completed that is,
as far as mounting the guns is concerl ed, at
least. By tomorrow night we shall have mines
in the main ship channel and in Huss ey's Sound
Colonel Mills moved his headquarters over to
Fort Levett to-day, and you won't see him back
until the war Is over. Brigadier General Ran
dolph, chief of artillery, arrived to-day General
Gillespie is also here, and will make his head
quarters on the Myrtle, running up and down
between the forts. We are protecting our rear
with volunteer troops, who are theoretically en-
trenched. We are not running any risks, for
you never can tell what the navy viii do. We
have blown up a bridge over the Nonesuch
River.
We won't have the balloon squad or the bal
loon this year 1 doubt if it would be any use
here where there many commanding

I spent my day in inspecting the fortifca-
tions on Cushings Island, at Fort Levett and

Tomorrow 1 shall drive from Fort Preble to
