REAR ADMIRAL
BROWNSON OUT
Resigns as Chief of Burecu
' - of Navigation
NO COMMENT ON ACTION
In Absence of Secretary Tuft 'No One
in Department Would Comment on
Resignation This Afternoon Has
Been Long in the Service and
Held Many Positions.
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Washington, Doc. 24 Rear Ad
miral Brownson, chief of the bureau
of navigation of the navy depart
ment, ha3 resigned and the resigna
tion has been accepted by the presi
dent. The cause for the admiral's action
was not announced this afternoon,
'and the closest secrecy was main
tained 'by all the officials of the war
department.
In the absence of Secretary Taft
no one in the department, would niaUe
any comment on the resignation.
Admiral Brownson was graduated
from the Naval Academy in 1SG5
and was immediately assigned to
duty on the flagship of the North At
lantic fleet, where he served three
years, and was then sent to the Pa
cific station.
In 1S72 he was assigned to duty
at the Naval Academy and laier did
coast survey work on the steamer
Blake.;
.From U.885 to 1SS9 he was in com
mand of the steamer Petrel, and later
tools command of the Dolphin. He
served on the Detroit from 1893 to
1894, during which time the ship
wasi at Rio Janeiro during the Bra
zilian revolution.
Ho became commandant of cadets
at the Naval Academy in 1894 and
two years later was appointed a
me'riiber of the board of inspection
and survey. During the Spanish
American War he commanded the
Yankee, and went from that ship to
the Alabama.
Among the rumors that have re
cently passed current in Washington,
and which have been stirred up by
the recent agitation against the so
called "clique" in the conduct of the
naval construction, was one to the
effect that the senate would refuse to
confirm Brownson's appointment as
chief of the bureau of navigation be
cause he was a retired naval officer
placed in an appointive position,
Another rumor had it that differ
ences existed between the admiral
and the head of the navy department
over questions of naval policy, but
this is, being discredited because of
the iirfpression that Acting Chief C.
McR. Winslow, who has held the posi
tion for several months, was being
coached to become the head of the
bureau early in 1908.
A REAR ADMIRAL
ORDERED TO REAR
(Tty i,cased Wire to the Times.)
Washinglon, Dec. 21 -Rear Ad
miral Albert lloss has boon ordered

and it is not known whether ho will
