DEWEYSPUN STIRS CHIES OF THE NAWY | Bitter Opposition to | the General Staff } Idea. ——— :Heads of Certain Bu- reau’s Fighting the [ Innovation, k15 S ;Believe It Will Curtail the Power They Wield at i Present. CALL BUREAU, 146 3 N W.. WASHIN April 4.—When Sec- | { retary Mood 18 to Wa ston he | will find a row among the bureau chiefs | the Navy Department on account of | the movement under way for the crea- | tion of s Mnes general staff in the navy on advocated by Admiral Dewey, , chief of the Bu- jgation, and all members of with the exception of | Rear Adr Bradford, chief of the Bu- au of Equiyp nt. Upon Secretary o0ody’s determination whether to recom- mend the esiablishment of a general staff | un®er the plan suggested depends the set- ttied condition of | the Gene | tiement of a much um: | The general staff plan contemplates the | grouping of the work of the Navy De- | partment into two divistons. The Bureau | of Navigation, the Bureau of Naval In- | telligence and the General Board would | be placed under the chief of staff, to- | gether with the Bureau of Ships and the Bureau of Peflom:% yet to be establish- ed. “The other depaftment burcaus would be placed undef’the Assistant Seeretary jof the Navy and called the Division. of | Material. Rear Admiral O'Neil, chief of the Bu- { reau of Ordnance; Rear Admiral Brad- | ford, Rear Admiral Melville, chief of the | Bureau of Steam Engineering, and Rear | Admiral Bowles, who compose the Board of Construction, are bitterly opposed to the plan. They say the chief of the Bu- now on a par, would be placed in an ad- visory capacity to the Secretary of the Navy, while they would be incorporated ordinate to the Assistant Secretary, who is, in turn, subordinate to the Secretary. Rear Admiral Bradford, in addition to being a member of the Board of Con- struction, is a member of the Board, but since he disputed the right of Rear Admiral Taylor to rank next to Ad- miral Dewey, the president of the board, his relations with the dominating influ- ence in the General Board have not been cordial. He has opposed the present plan for a general staff, although he concedes that such a staff on certaln lines would Be a beneficial institution. Rear Admiral Bradford probably in the next six months will be detached from the duty of chief of the Bureau of Navi- gation and ordered to command the bat- tleship Illinols. * Secretary Long consid- ered him so valuable that he refused his plea to be allowed to go to sea during the Spanish-American war. It is bellevedgthat Captain William Swift, now of the General Board, will be appolnted chief of the Bureau of Equip- ment. Captain Swift is a warm advocate of the general staff plan. Rear Admiral O'Neil will retire for age in about a year. Rear Admiral Melville will retire from the post of chief engl- neer next January. In less than twelve months, therefore, the Board of Construc- tion will lose three determined opponents of the general staff plans now outlined. —_— Heavy Bail for Accused Importers.

He can lose New York, | Indiana ana Ilinois and stul have a ma- jority of three in the electoral college. In this calculation not an electoral vote from- the South is included in the Repub- lican column.

Hallman Sims, collection clerk for the Capitol City National Bank, has been placed under ar- Scott upon a warrant sworn out by Presi- dent Spear of the bank, charging him with the embezzlement of $3400. Sims is now held at the Pledmout Hotel by the Deputy Marshal. He refuses to talk. The first susplcion of a shortgge Sims' accounts arose yesterday. Expert accountants immediately began work on the books and it was disclosed that large sums had been abstracted at various times, dating back for several years. The warrant was then sworn out by the presi- dent of the bank. Sims has been in the service of the bank for eight years and was regarded as one of its most reliable employes. He moved in the most exclusive circles of Atlanta society and was popular as a ‘“‘young man of fashion.” A portion of the defalcation is covered by Sims’ bond and he also owns some property which will be turned over to the bank.

INNEAPOLIS, April 4—The biggest and most enthusi-- astic reception ever tendered any man in the Twin Citles | was that accorded President Roosevelt to-day. From the time in St. Paul this afternoon until his de- parture from Minneapolis for the West | | at 11 o'clock to-night, he was the re- clplent of a continual ovation, the streets through which he passed being a solid mass of people. Armory Hall, at the University of Min- nesota, where he spoke this evening, was crowded to its limited capacity. The speech, which was on the tariff and reci- procity, brought out much enthusiasm, the President treating extensively of the Cuban situation, declaring that we must have military control of Southern waters and saying that tHe United States was the most prosperous nation the world had evee known. At the close of the speech, many of the audience crowded forward to shake the President’s.hand, but this privilege was denied them. Thousands of persons lined the route of the private electric cars that brought | the distinguished guest and his party from St. Paul. him in the two citles, although his audi- tors were limited to the capacity of the | armory in Minneapolis, the legislative hall in St. Paul and the space in front of the Capitol building, together with about 1500 students in the university chapel and several thousand persons In front of the Nicollet Hotel, to whom he talked for one minute. Although it was generally understood that admission to all meetings would be by ticket only there was a great clamor for seats and offers for tickets ran up into high figures. There was genuine en- thusiasm everywhere. Before golng to the armory the Pres dent was prevailed upon to address tk students of the university in the chapel The hall was crowded to the limit and Mr. Roosevelt spoke for four minutes in | of his arrival | Perhaps 200,000 altogether saw | | Minnesota University. | velt said: | | | CUBAN RECIPROCITY. President Rooses | President Says Treaty Wil | Widen Our Market. | “My Fellow Citizens: At the special session of the Senate held in March the Cuban reeiprocity treaty was ratified. When this treaty goes into effect it will confer substantial economic benefits alikes upon Cuba, because of the widening of her market in the United States, and upon the Upited States, because of the equal widening and the progressive control it will give to our people in the Cubard market. This treaty is beneficial to both parties and justifies itself on several grounds. In the first place we offer to Cuba her natural market. We can con- fer upon her a benefit which no other nation can confer: and for the very rea~ son that we have started her as an inde= pendent ‘repubiic and that we are rich, prosperous and powerful, it behooves us to stretch out a helping hand to our fee- bler younger sister. In the next place it widens the market for our products, | both the products of the farm and certain | of our manutactures: and it is therefore in the interests of our farmers, manufac- turers, merchants and ‘wake workers. Finally, the tyeaty was not merely war- ranted but demanded, apart from all oth- er considerations, by the enlightened con- sideration of our foreign policy. | “More and more in the future we | must occupy a preponderant position in the waters and along the coasts in the region south of us—not a posi- | tion of control over the republics of the south, but of control of the mili- | tary situation so as to aveid any possible complications in the future. “Under the Platt amendment Cuba | agreed to give us certain naval stations ! on her coast.
