from oomcnaad of tb* Mara I aland

to Admiral 'Daway, at UaaUa, toV
Ueve that officer wbeo b* faels that ba
can be spared there. Hear Admiral
Kampff, at present oo waiting orders,
baa bean oroered to succeed Admiral
Watson la oommand of tbe Mare In
land yard. It waa stated at tit* De
partment to-day that Admiral Dewey
will coma from Manila direot to New
York whan he retorus to the United
State*. However, It waa added, the
admiral win not start until tha com
mission, of which ba Is a member, has
completed the work ft ha* undertaken,
at least so for at It relate* to tbe res
toration of peaoe oo tha islands.
Tba reason for bringing tbe flagship
Olympia ta New York instead of bar
ing bar com* to San Francisco, where
aba waa bo ill. Is said to ba primarily
bee*as* Admiral Dewsy daslra* to
mak* the passage on bis owo fireship,
but also for tha reason that the Mare
IMaad navy yard threatens to bt over
whelmed with repair work as aooo as
tb* eomeroua vessel* of Dewey’s fleet
begin to retire lo tba United States.
Tb* Olympia la la need of a thorough
overhauling. having been away from

rendered ra r* than lb* usual amount
of hard service during bar absence.
