IL is the best opinion that Grand

tor general OF cavalry, will attain the
high command. occupying in the war
with Japan the position held by his
father in the war with turkey. There
are various reports regarding F1eeroy

The dispatch OF the grand duke as

cord with the traditions OF the Roman

General Grippenberg, commander Of
the second army, was born in Janu-
airy, 1888. He is 13 years older than
General Kuropatkin. but ranks three
numbers lower in the list OF generals.
General Grippenberg Is a Lutheran in
religion.
While General Grippenberg's distin-

plain the appointment, 1t Is believed
Prince SviatOpolk- Mirsky's recommen-

the men Japan Is able to put In the
field, and the knowledge that the latter

gantic scale in order to be able to as

new phase Of the war.
Within three months three corps are

HEAVY WARSHIPS
FOR UNCLE SAM

WASHINGTON, Feb. Admiral
Dewey's suggestions in favor of heavy
fighting ships for the navy prevailed to-
day with the House Committee on Ma.
val Affairs over the recommendation OF
the general board submitted by Secre-
tary Moody. The naval appropriation
bill was completed by the committee
after hearing granted Admiral Dewey.
1t carried an aggregate appropriation
of S95, O00,O 00
The ships authorized are one battle
ship, two armored cruisers, three scout
cruisers and two squadron Golfers. The
appropriation of 100000 made last year
for two submarine boats was reappro-
priated, the boats to be purchased in
the discretion of the Secretary of the
Navy.
The building program gives a total of
$4,000 tons of heavy fighting ships, as
compared with $1,000 tons last year.
The heavy construction provided will
cost $2l, sol, 600, while the lighter con-
struction will bring the cost of the
building program up to 100000.
Provision was made for an armor
plate factory to cost "a, 100000. which the
Secretary of the Navy is authorized to
construct in case he cannot secure
