IMPORTANT MOVEMENTS OF SHIPS They Will Not Be Made Public by’ Officials. NEW HEAD OF BUREAU a On the surface, at least, affairs in the Navy and War Departments were much more quiet today than has been the case for seme time. There was constant inquiry among the officials as to the latest phase of the Cuban question, the existing uncer- tainty regarding it causing more or less suppressed excitement. The near approach of the Easter holidays was responsible for the presence at the department of a large number of visitors, many of whom were strangers in the city. Capt. Sigsbee, who was in command of the Maine, and who happened to be in the Secretary's ante room when a number of strangers called, was introduced to them and indulged in a few moments’ conversation. ‘Taere was a lack of news at the Navy Department during the morning, Secretary Long saying, in response to a specific in- quiry, that nothing vf interest had occur- red. There were very few persons other than officials-of the department who called to sve the Secretary during the day, and he left his office about 11 o'clock for the White House, and did not return until after lunch. While making it very plain that the department hereafter would not make public any important movements de- tern.ined upon for the big fleets, tne offi- cials did consent to say this morning that the Detroit and the Marbienead,, wich left the squadron at hey West yesterday, had not re.eived any important orders from the department. It is said that they have left the fleet, probably omy for patrul auty alonz the coast. Wherenbouts of Warships. The Navy Department is informed of the departure of the gunboat Wheeling from Union, B. C., today for Dyea, Alaska. ‘The Wheeling has been in use during a jor- tion of the past winter by the officials of Alaska in tours of inspection, and is now engaged ‘in transporting a party of experts from the geological survey, who are to make some investigations regarding the gold fields and other resources of Alas .a. The light house tender Maple, formerly used by President Cleveland on his ducking expeditions, has been transferred to the Navy Department. She arrived at Norfolk this morning and will undergo immediate repairs and improvements to meet her fu- ture purposes as a warship, More Naval Commanders Selected. The following naval orders were issued today: Lieutenant F. K. Hill has been detached from the bureau of ordnance and ordered at once to the Iowa. Ensign A. J. Wadhams has been detached from the Vermont and ordered at once to the Mayflower. Lieutenant Commander F. S. Phelps has been detached from the Mare Island navy yard and ordered to take charge of the naval recruiting rendezvous at San Fran- cisco. Chaplain J. F. Chidwick, formerly of the Maine, has been ordered to the Cincinnati at once. Lieutenant M. E. Hall has been ordered to command the Catskill when ready. Lieutenant C. 8. Richman has been or- dered to command the Nahant when ready. Lieutenant K. G. Peck has been ordered to command the Lehigh when ready. Commander E. F. Strong has been or- acred to command the Montaux, when ready. Commander B. S. Richards has been or- dered to command the Saturn, when ready. Lieut. H. T. Pickbohm has been ordered to command the Jason, when ready. Lieut. G. F. Blow has been detached from the Mayflower and ordered at once to the Wilmot. Naval Cadet H. C. Mustin has been de- tacked from the Vermont and ordered to the Mangrove. Naval Cadet F. E. Ridgely has been de- tached from the Vermont and ordered to the Mangrove. Ensign J. H. Dayton has been detached from the Cincinnati and ordered at once to the Mangrove. Naval Cadet G. B. Rice has been de- tached from the Indiana and ordered to the Franklin. Naval Cadet L. C. Palmer has been de- tached from the New York and ordered to the Franklin. Naval Cadet C. L. Poor nas been de- tached from the New Yerk and ordered to the Franklin. . Naval Cadet K. G. Castleman has been detached from the New York and ordered at once to the Franklin. Lieut. Alexander Sharp, naval aid to Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, has been assigned to the command of the torpedo teat destroyer Vixen, formerly Mr. Widen- er’s yacht Josephine. She is being fitted out as a naval vessel at the League Island navy yard.. It is understood that Lieut. Sharp will take command next Monday. Two of the officers of the ill-fated steamer Maine have been given new assignments, as shown by the naval orders published by the department this morning. Chaplain J. F. Chadwick, who was untir- ing in his devotion to the victims of the digaster, has been assigned to duty on the Cincinnati, which is now with Capt. Samp- son's North Atlantic squadron. Lieut. G. P. Blow, also of the Maine, who had been ordered to the Mayflower, has been de- tached from that duty and assigned to the command of the tug Wilmot, recently ac- quired by the government by purchase. h Rumors of a Change. An interesting rumor in circulation in the Navy Department today is that a change is imminent in the important office of chief of the bureau of navigation, now held by Commander Crowninshield. The strain that officer has been under since the de- struction of the Maine has affected his nervous system, and it has been suggested that a sea voyage would be of great bene- fit to him. In case his health will permit it he will be given command of a ship com- mensurate with his rank, if there is one available. His last sea service was in com- mand of the iH-fated battle ship Maine, which duty he relinquished when he re- ceived the appointment as chief of the nayi- gation bureau. The duties of that office are not wholly congenial to him, and it is said he would prefer sea duty. In view of his probable detachment the gossips are active in their speculations as to his suc- cessor. They have agreed that Rear Ad- imiral Walker, retired, is most likely to re- ceive the assignment, provided he would take it. There ts considerable doubt on the latter score, however, as it is well known that Admiral Waikerhas much higher as- Pirations than a bureau office, especially one of which he was the head for eight years during his active career. Bs Seerctary Alger’s Visitors, In addition to spending some time with Gen, Milas, commanding the army, and with Secretary Alger saw @ number of visitors who came on business matters. These in- cluded Senator Pettus of Alabama, who de- sir2d some information -respecting the tm- provements of the harbor at Mobile; Rep- resentatives Sheldon of Michi@in and Over- street of Indiana. Platt of New York and Senator Procter also had short talks with the Secretary.- Latest Army ,Prdqrs. Capt. George W.

The following resolutiéin of the House re- lating to seats in the-gaileries went into effect today: “That until otherwise ordered by the Speaker, there be issued daily by the door- keeper to each representative and delegate two tickets to the galleries of the House; and the doorkeeper is hereby authorized and directed to reserve sufficient space to accommodate the holders thereof. During the pendency of this order the rules as to the members’ family and the visitors’ gal- lerles are suspended.”” In accordance with this, 730 tickets were issued this morning, two to each represen- tative and delegate and the elective officers of the House. This will insure every per- son holding a ticket finding a seat. Accommodations for about 250 persons are left for the general public. “First come, first served,” will be the rule for this gallery, the doors to open at 9 o'clock. After these seats are filled persons in search of seats will not ‘he permitted to ascefhd to the upper corridor unless they hold tickets to the representatives’, the ex- ecutive or the diplomatic galleries, These tickets will be numbered from 1 to 730 and will be a different color each day. ———— TO SUSPEND COLLECTION. Taxes on Land Involved in Highway Extension Condemnation. Mr. Babcock has introduced a resolution in the House providing “that the collec- tion of all taxes and special assessments which have been levied or become due and payable on land involved, jn any condemna- tion proceedings under the act of Congress entitled ‘An act to provide a permanent system of highways in that part of the Dis- trict of Columbia lying outside of cities,’ approved March 2, 1893, after those pro- ceedings shall have been begun by the fil- ing of a petition for condemnation, shall be suspended until the termination of the proceedings. If the land shall not be taken, such taxes and assessments shall be paid, but without interest or penalty accruing during the interval. If the land be taken, such taxes and assessments shall be can- celed altogether if the whole parcel covered by the tax or assessment be taken, and shall be canceled proportionately if but a part of the safne be condemned.” —E “Want” ads. in The Star pay because they bring answers. ACTIVITY IN THE NAVY Work Being Rushed on Ships at the ‘Brooklyn Yard. Texas Reaches Hampton Roads—New Jersey Naval Reserves to Man the Montauk. . NEW YORK, April 7.—The departure of the Texas from the navy yard, Brocklyn, yesterday was the signal for increased ac- tivity in the work of preparing the smaller veasels for active duty. The force of mechanics employed in the renovation of the cruiser Chicago was more than doubled today, and there are now about 400 men at work on th:t vessel. The officers who have been assigned to ccmmand the vessels which will comprise the “mosquito fleet” were early on hand teday looking after their respective boats. The work shops throughout the yard are whom are toiling night and day in order to facilitate the preparations of the sev- eral vessels. Over at the receiving ship Vermont there is a continuous stream of applicants for enlistment, and on an average about thirty men are taken on every day. Large quantities of provisions are being Packed away in the storehouses, and requi- sitions for general stores are being filled daily. It is expected that the Dolphin will be ready for sea by Monday, and she may then sail with a quantity of ammunition and supplies for the north Atlantic squad- ron. Texas at Hampton Roads. FORT MONROE, Va., April 7.—The bat- tle ship Texas steamed into Hampton Roads this morning at 7:30 o'clock and at 8 o'clock dropped anchor with the flying squadren off. Fort Monroe. She is fully painted the lead war color, and is in the Lest of condition. The Massachusetts will be down from Newpcrt News either late tonight or early tomorrow, and the squadron will then be ready for any emergency. Commodore Schley has not as yet re- ceived any definite orders from Washing- ten. Men to Man the Montauk. NEW YORK, April 7.—The New Jersey Neval "Reserves who are to man the moni- tor Montauk, which is being fitted out at the League Island navy yard, have been notified that the vessel wiil not leave the dry dock for a couple of days. The men are to receive leurs’ notice to start. Twelve of the men who were to have helped to man the Montauk have been de- tached from the detaii, and their places Will be filled by others. This change was made £0 as to divide the more experiencod men into two sections, and thus have s eral in both the first cnd second details. Brooks Called In. MADISON, Wis., April 7.—J. C. W.

Will Combine if Necessary. Fifty of the republicans who are insist- ing on action met immediately after the urnment of tne House yesterday to iscuss the situation. All who were noi heartily in sympathy with them were in- vited to leave. Those at the meeting unan- imously agreed to wait for the message, but the movement for a caucus started by the President's supporters, which was also abandoned during the afternoon, exposed to thera a danger upon which they had not reckoned, remely, thet a caucus of re- publicans might be called to bind them by the party action and place them in the pesition of bolters if the occasicn arose tor them to adopt an independent pian of action. A committee of eight was, there- fore, appointed to count noses, to watch the situation and to devise ways and means to meet any tactics of the opposition. he ccmmitice is as follows: Messrs. Hopkins of Ilincis, Lorimer of Ilinois, Tawney of Minnesota, Cooper of Wisconsin, Hepburn of lowa, Bromwell of Ohio, Joy of Mis- scuri and Knox of Massachusetts. Several rather vigorous speeches in de- nunciation of any policy of delay were made in the course of the meeting, one by Mr. Smith cf Illinois. In order to em- phasize this position a proposition was made to unite with the democrats and tcck all legislation, adjourning from day to day until the message appeared and the House had acted on the Cuban reso- lutions. But Mr. Hull of Iowa, who is pushing the army reorganization bill, made stch an ardent plea to allow that bill to come to a vote that the proposition was temporarily abandoned. Whether it will be revived depends largely upon the course of events. It can be stated, however, that it is seriously contemplated. One of the other chief developments of the day was the probability that, in the event of a split on the republican side, the democrats woulfi unite with the radi- cals and_allow the latter to force the issue. If the democrats should seek to assume the aggressive the chances are they would sclidify the republicans against them. —___-o-__ Big Blaze at Vicksburg.
