 In the early days it. cost s100 to send a message across the Atlantic. The cable companies made charge of S5 word, and the minimum amount of words to be transmitted was fixed at twenty.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 1S.- The name of as gallant and efficient an officer as ever wore the American naval uniform was removed from the active list today when Read Admiral Robley D. Evans, known the world over as Fighting Bob" was retired for age. Admiral Evans took the great Atlantic battleship fleet around Cape Horn last winter and his official career virtually ended with the arriv- al of the fleet at San Francisco. Since then he has been on leave of absence and has been sojorrning at varsous health resorts in an effort tO conquer a bad attack of rheumatism, an ail- ment from which he has suffered TOT a number of years.
 With the single exception of Ad- miral Dewey, Fighting Bob" Evans was undoubtedly the best known and most popular officer the American navy has known since the heroes of the civil war period passed from ac- tive life. Admiral Evans in recent years has been known as the reliable man of the navy, for there was always assurance that he would discharge his duty with courage and patriotism and with tact and diplomacy should his mission become a delicate one Throughout his career he was acoreu by his men and he knew also how to

hold the favor of Washington.
 Admiral Evans began fighting in the civil war when he was still in hi. teens, and completed his record O actual hostilities by the great worl he did with the battleship Iowa d Santiago In the interval and since that time, he rendered his country every kind of service.
 Evans went to the Annapolis acade- my in 1860. and year later came the outbreak of the civil war The mother of Robley demanded that he res-zn from the United States service and fight for the south. His brother had espoused the cause of the confederacy. But Robley decided in favor of Wash ington and announced his determina- ton to stand for the union. It was a decision that cost him many heart burnings, and it was many years be- fore his mother forgaye him.
 His brother fought gallantly for the south and was twice wounded. He did not share his mothers indignation at the young naval officer. and the two brothers never wavered in their friend ship, despite the divergence in their political views.
 Evans active service began in the West Indies where he commanded a yacht sent to search for confederate privateers. He was first under fire at Fort Fisher and was wounded in the attack on that stronghold. It was at first decided that both of his legs would have to be amputated, which would. of course, have ended his na- val career. But even then Evans had that swiftness of action which later was to bring bim distinction. As soon as the doctors communicated to him their decision to take of his legs, he drew his revolver and announced that he would blow the head off the first man who dared approach him Adopt ing new measures, the physicians worked with him and managed 10 re store him to health with both legs in tact.
 In 1891 Evans increased his fame by his conduct in Valparaiso harbor. He was in charge of the little gunboat Yorktown during the trying period

In the teeth of the protests of the Chilean government Commodore Evans took on his boat the refugees from the American legation, and when the natives threatened reprisals he announced that at the first hint of at- tack he would lombard the city. The world admired his spunk, and Wash ington learned that in Fighting Bob" it had a man who could be trusted in any crisis.
