last Hague peace conference, where
he went as one of the delegates. Re
turning from The Hague he was as
signed to command the fourth division
of the Atlantic fleet, in which capacity
he has made the trip around the Horn
with Admiral Evans.
1t has been patent for some time
that Admiral Evans was not in good
health, as evidenced by the fact that
he was compelled TO foregO all the
festivities attending the cruise of the
fleet around the coast of South AmeTi-
ca, and that nearly all the social du-
ties usually devOlving upon the COM
mander-in-chief were performed by
Rear Admiral Charles II. Thomas,
second in command.
Rear Admiral Evans will be retired
by operation of law on account of his
age August IS next. AS the law pro-
hibits retired officers from exercising
command of ships, it was necessary to
relieve Admiral Evans from his pres
ent command before the fleet leaves
San Francisco in July next to complete
its cruise around the world. Rear
Admiral Sperry, commanding one of
the squadrons of the fleet, was select
ed for that duty. Admiral Sperry does
not retire until September, 1909, and
is the only rear admiral now with the
fleet having more than one year to
serve or the active list Rear Ad-

less than two months after Admiral
Evans retirement and Rear Admiral
Emory retires in the following Decem-
ber
The vacancies caused by the retire
ment of Admirals Evans and Thomas
will be filled by the promotion to
that rank of Capts. Seaton Schroeder
and Richard Wainwright, each OF
whom now commands a battleship in
the feet. Admiral Emory, who com
mands one of the squadron in the
fleet. will continue in that detail, being
second in command to Admiral Sper

fleet will be as follows: Rear Admira

REAL ADMIRAL SPERRY WILL
BRING BATTLESHIPS HOME.
Successor of Fighting Bob" Gradual
ed from Naval Academy in 1866
and Has Passed Through All
Grades with High Ronors.

Washington.-Rear Admiral Charles
Sullman Sperry, who will be com
mander-in-chief Of the battIeship fleet
on its trip to Hawaii, Samoa. Austria
liza, Philippines, Suez, Gibraltar and
across the Atlantic to the United
States. Admiral Sperry was born in
Brooklyn in 1S47. He entered the
Naval academy, Annapolis, in Septem-
Der, 1862, and on graduation was as
signed TO command the u. S. steam
ship Sacramento C866) This was the
beginning of mis- naval career. He has
passed through all the grades with
high honors, shining in a diplomatic
and social way, as well as securing
a solid reputation for purely prOfes-
sional efficiency. In 1885 he became
a lieutenant-commande and, eight
years later took charge Of the bureau
of naval ordnance. He was made full
commander in 1894.
During the war with Spain Admiral
Sperry was given command of the
Yorktown in the Philippines and di-
rected the movements OF the landing
party on the eastern shore of LuZOn,
which is now regarded as one of the
most thrilling incidents of the cam
paign against AguinaldO.
~ The landing party was captured by
AguinaldO's men. Then began the
famous chase of the insurgents and
their prisoners throughout the length
of the island, resulting in the release
of the men at Apanri, on the northern
extremity of LuZOn. The officers and
soldiers who went to the rescue of the
Yorktown men were pOpulariy known
as the hare and hound" crew. Untold
hardships were endured.
AS one of the officers under Admiral
Walker, Sperry helped to make sue
cessful the picturesque voyage of the
white squadron" which visited Eu-
rope and South America in 1S91-93.
From the command of the New Or

was graduated from Harvard with the
degree of A B. in 1888. He took up
the profession of teaching and was
brought to the attention of George
Washington, who employed him as
secretary aud as tutor to the Custis
children, then living at Mount Vernon.
Washington wrote of Lear:
Mr.. Lear or any other who comes into
my family in the blended character OF
preceptor to the children and clerk or
private secretary to me, Will sit at my
table, will live as I live will mix with
the company who resort TO the house, and
will be treated in every respect with cour-
tesy and proper attention.
Lear's salary was 5000 a year and
Washington gave him the use OF a
farm on the Mount Vernon plantation.
Lear was with Washington when the
great man died, wrote the only authen-
tie account of the last moments Of the
Father of his Country, and arranged
Washington's private papers and au-
dited his accounts. After Washing
tons death Lear was appointed United
States consul to Algiers and remained
at that post from 1904 to 1912. In 1905
he was one of the commission which
concluded a treaty with the Dey Of
Algiers under terms of which the
United States paid $4,000 for the
release of 200 captive Americans This
treaty was bitterly assailed by the war
party in this country. In 1912 Mr..
Madison appointed Lear to a clerkship
in the treasury department and later
he became auditor for the war depart
ment.
Lear shot himself through the head
in the garden of his home near the
treasury the morning Of October II,
1916. The cause for the deed was
