The Naval Stations.

that the navy department has some
thing in view in the immediate future
with reference to the Cavlte and Dion
gapo naval stations is the fact that
Rear Admiral Charles T. B. Moore,
formerly in command Of the Yerba
Buena training station in San Fran
cisco bay, has been ordered to the
Philippines to take command of the
stations.
Admiral Moore will arrive in Manila
about April q, and will take over his
new command Immediately, relieving
Commander G. M. Fahs, the present
/ commandant, who has been in COM
mand of both stations for about four
teen months Commander Fahs will
sail for the United States upon being
relieved, where he will be assigned
to shore duty by the department.
Rear Admiral Moore will be the
first flag officer to command the Cavite
and Olongspo stations in several
years, and is the first officer of flag
rank to be ordered to the Command
after attaining that rank, which is the
basis of belief among naval officers
on duty at Cavite that the department
is on the verge of some definite action
in the matter Of a permanent naval
station for the Philippines.
