THE NEWS OF WASHINGTON.
SiiLjfcts That are Coining Before the j
Eyes of Congress The Admiralship j
m bur .Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C There is
scoping and wailing and gnash
ing of molars in the little Cor-
bi i-Sternberg coterie over the i
appointment. of Gen. Wood as a
major-general of volunteers.
His nomination, already sent to
the Senate, will be opposed vio
lently by all the political influ-
enco line officers can bring to!
bear.
Line officers see m it rot only;
a too rapid rise for a staff officer
of the despised medical depart
ment, but an attempt on the part
of the President to give Major
General Wood the supreme mil
itary command in Cuba. Sur-geon-General
Sternberg remains
a brigadier, while one of his
junior assistants is passed over
his devoted head. The design
of the President, say line officers, j
is evident, because General
Brooke can now eome home if.
ho wants to, and whether he
wants to or not he will return
and make way for Wood as the
heac1 of affairs in Cuba. -
The Sampson-Schley ash-barrel
is cbout to be raked over
again, too. Representative Ber
ry, of Kentucky, has given notice
that he will call up at the ear
liest possible moment hs joint
resolution to extend the thanks
of Congress and the American
people to Rear-Admiral Schley,
and the men of his command for
their heroic conduct, etc., etc. '
Secre-yiy Long in his annual
report recommends that the
-"thanks of Congress be given to
the commander-in-chief of the
Nortli Atlantic squadron" (Rear
Admiral Sampson).
The President recognizes the
fact that the question, if not
headed off in some way, is bound
to result in bitter debate.
One of his plans to escape
from the dilemma is the revamp-'
ing of the old scheme to create
two vice-admiralships. This
proposition, however, appears to
be to make Sampson first vice
admiral and Schley second.
The whole- issue is to assign J
the credit for the victory, , and
the question 1 will be fought out
on that line in Congress, no
matter what rank may be given
Sampson or SchJey, .. . L
' Meanwhile,-' Cousin - George
Dewey is happy in being allowed
to divide up theattention of -the
public with a , number pf rpther
