Admiral Dewey now leads in rank avy officer of army or navy. His rank is equivalent toa full General. The pay aad allow. ances amount to $14,000 a year Under the terms of the bill creating him an Admiral, Dewey may continue in active service until he dies, as he cannot be retired except upon his own application. Inasmuch as raval officers are loath to admit their inca pacity for active service, it is a safe assumption that Admiral Dewey will remain on the active list as the rank ing officer of the navy uatil his death But for the action of Congress he would be relegated to the retired list December 25 next, on which Gate he will reach the age of 62 years. In view of the critical condition of affaira in the Philippines, it is not likely, however, that Admiral will be relieved from his present command very soon, or at least until American sovereignty has been firmly estab- lished in that quarter. Altheugh Admiral Dewey will rank Maj. Gen. Otis in all joint operations of the army and navy io the Philippines, it is 10; at all likely that there will be any friction or conflict of authority between the two officers, who are known to be in thorough accord in the conduct of the campaign against the Filipinos. Maj Gen. Otis will be supreme in command of the mili tary forc:s when acting independ eatly of the navy, and will only be | much ino rican prison- nts: hold a single icked up in permission Cavite and Have cap- old the ma- war.
