SECRETARY LONG. '
HIS POSITION AT THE HEAD OF THE
NAVY DEPARTMENT NO SINECURE.
. In Chief of the Bureaus of Ordinance,
Equipment Accounts and Construction
—An Immense Amount of Business Ac-
complished Each Day.-
A day at the Navy Department,
such as the writer recently spent, is
full of instruction as to what it means
to be the head of the navy in war
time. The place is assuredly no sin-
ecure. Secretary Long reaches his of-
ing. After thirty minutes with his
mail. the stream of people who are
waiting in the large ante-room begins
to pour in upon him. It is the eti-
quette of the department that when-
ever a Senator arrives he has the
right of way over all others, no mat~
ter how long they may have been
waiting there before him. A Repre-
sentative in Congress also has pre-
cedence of general callers.
Dispatches of all sorts are contin-
iually coming in, and the Secretary is
Ikep: busy dictating answers to them.
gCommunications from the, department
Iof navigation, which deals with the
Ipersonnel of the service, detailing the
iofficers t0» the various ships and or-
ldering the ships hither and thither,
ihave to receive prompt attention.
The bureau of ordnance makes a.n--
,lother large daily demand upon the
Secretary’s time. This bureau deals
lwith all matters relating to ammuni-
ition, projectiles, weapons, and arma--
' ment generally. . , A”

if?» SECRETARY LONG.
The bureau of equipment makes an-
other considerable call on the Secre-
tary’s working hours. This is the
bureau which furnishes all the equip-
ments of' the ship—the ropes, the
sails, the anchors, and especially the
coal. The coal buying for the navy
is in itself an enormous business, and
the providing of Coal stations and the
furnishing of a dozen coal lighters, at
one point or another, to carry the coal
to our war vessels, is in itself a large
task. " '
The bureau of accounts is another
branch of the naval service which
_ gives Mr. Long a great deal of hard
work. This bureau has to do with
the purchase of supplies, which are all
bought under bids, except in cases of
emergency. Another new feature of
Mr. Long’s administration is the hos-
pital ambulance ship, the Solace, a
magnificent vessel of 4,000 tons, equip-
ped and fitted with all modern surgical
appliances. This ship will sail under
the rules of the Geneva Red Cross as-
sociation, and will be free from at-
tack. The women of the country have
shown great interest in this new de-
parture, the like of which‘was never
attempted in any previous naval war.
Yet another share of the Secretary's
time is called for by the bureau of
construction and repair, which has to
do with the building and repair of our
ships. All the new ships that we
have been buying of late in other
countries have had to be put into con-
dition under the direction of this bl-
reau.
At half past 2 o’clock in the after-
noon,Mr. Long makes his escape from
the ‘fiood of visitors—the department
doors are closed to the general public
at 2 o’clock—and then he begins to
sign his mail. He is kept busy writ-
ing his signature for a full hour. dur-
ing which time he writes his name
about 300 times. Then the clerk of
the department makes his appearance,
bringing with Lim a large mass of pa-
pers, offers of service, requests for
the naming of ships, suggestions for
advice of all kinds. No letter ad-
dressed to the department on any of
these subjects is left without a reply.
He lives in very modest style at the
capital. His family consists of his
wife, his oldest daughter, Miss Mar-
garet Long, 24 years of age, who is
studying medicine at the Johns Hop-
kins university; his younger daughter,
Miss Helen Long, who is of great as-
sistance to him socially; and his lit-
tle son, Pierce Long, a bright boy of
ten. who is busy with his schoolbooks
and his bicycle. Mr. Long is a de-
voted husband and father, and the
domestic side of his life has always
been very happy. He is jealous of his
evening leisure and callers at the fam-
ily hotel where he lives, who come on
business, are not cordially welcomed.
He believes .that after a hard day’s
work at the department the serenity
of the lamplight hours should not be
intruded upon, except for grave rea-
sons. He enjoys walking very much,
and is to be seen nearly every after-
noon, after the cares of the Navy De—
partment have been dropped. tramp-
ing sturdily around the beautiful
squares and circles of the capital. Mr.
Long is, by the way, a teetotaler, and
almost a non-smoker, his limit being
one cigar a day. He has always had
'a friendly side for woman sutfrage
and for civil service reform—James
W. Clarke, in Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Telegrgphs War Department That Be
Would Sail at 3P.M. Yesterday. Per-
emtory Orders to Sampson to Send
Convoy. Gen. Ernst’s Brigade Sail!
from Charleston. Transports Sail from
New York.
Washington, July 22.--Secretary Al-
ger received this dispatch from Major
General Miles yesterday afternoon:
“We have Massachusetts, Dixie,
Gloucester, Cincinnati, Annapolis, Ley-
den'and Wasp, with Yale and Colum-
bia. We expect to sail at 3 o’clock.”
i The vessels mention-ed compose the
I convoy for the troopships of the Porto
i Rican expedition.
l
Admiral Sampson informed the navy
department that the transport fleet at
Guantanamo would sail for Porto Rico
as soon as the cruiser Columbia had
finished coaling.
This message was in response to per-
emptory orders telegraphed to Admiral
Sampson at 2 o’clock yesterday morn-
ing directing him to {furnish a sufficient
Iconvoy for the troop ships immediate-
y.
The orders were sent from the White
House by President McKinley and were
the result of impatience over the delay
in getting the expedition off. It appears
' that there has been some spicy corre-
spondence between Admiral Sampson
and General Miles. Matters between
them, however, have been amicably ad-
justed. - , .
When General Miles first asked for
an adequate convoy, Admiral Sampson
said that all he could furnish at that
. time were the Columbia and the Yale,
'and later on the Cincinnati and the
New Orleans. General Miles Would not
sail with such a small escort, and re-
ported to the war department that he
could not leave on account of the de-
_ lay of the navy in furnishing convoys.
The president took matters into his
'own hands and at 2 o’clock yesterday
3 morning sent the most positive orders
to Admiral Sampson to comply with
General Miles’s wishes so that the
ltransport fleet could leave immediate-
Y- ‘
A number of battleships and other
, cruisers will proceed to Porto Rico‘as
soon as they can be made ready for
service. '
Sailing to Porto Rico.
Washington, July 22.--A telegram
was received at the war department
from General Wilson, commanding the
First division of the First army corps,
announcing the departureof himself
and General Ernst’s brigade from
Charleston. The expedition is bound
for Porto Rico, but it is believed that
the ships will go by way of Guantana-
mo, Santiago province.
If this is not theplan, there is un-
questionably an arrangement to have
the expedition meet General Miles’s
detachment and the naval convoys
somewhere in the neighborhood of the
Windward Passage.
General Wilson added that transport
No. 21 would be delayed owing to the
obstinacy of the mules. The Grand
Duchess and transport No. 20 sailed
Wednesday night.
General Ernst's brigade consists of
the Second and Third Wisconsm and
the Sixteenth Pennsylvania volunteers.
Michigan and Ronmania Sail South.
New York, July 22.--In obedience to
an order received from the war de-
partment the transports Michigan and '
Roumania sailed from here yesterday,
presumably for Cuban waters. Accom-
panying them was the refrigerating
ship Glacier, which goes to join Admi-
ral Sampson’s fleet off southern Cuba.
The work of transforming the tWO
transports was finished last week. Un-
til W'ednesday night the two vessels
were taking on stores and were under
orders to sail this morning. They were
assigned to General Miles for the Porto
Rico expedition. .
The vessels were unable to finish
loading and went out of port with only
a part of the original cargo. They will
depend for the remainder upon other
transports which will sail this week.
The most important of these is the
Massachusetts, which is loading at pier
17, East river, and is expected to clear
this morning.
The three transports are companion
vessels and formerly belonged to the
Atlantic Transport line. On the Rou-
mania, as a passenger, was Frank
Blake Morse, a former Princeton foot-
ball man, who is going -to join the
Rough Riders.
Ships for Spaniards.
New York, July 22.--Fifteen vessels
will be employed in the transfer of the
24,000 soldiers and 1,000 officers from
Santiago de Cuba to Cadiz, Spain. All
belong or have been chartered by the
Cia Transatlantica Espanola, which
underbid the British, German and Ital-
ian lines that were anxious to secure
the contract. Nearly all the Spanish
steamers that are to carry their coun-
trymen home were built in England,
but fly the Spanish flag, and hail from
either Barcelona or Bilboa.
Rifle Practice at Fort Slocum.
New Rochelle, July 22.-—The men and
officers of the three batteries of artil-
lery in garrison at Fort Slocum to-day
began target practice with the new
Krag-Jorgensen rifles. The latest pat-
tern of this rifle is said to be far supe-
rior to any other gun now in use. Its
power of penetration has been greatly
increased by the latest improvements.
Appointed to Succed Gen. McKibbin.
Santiago, July 22.-—General Leonard
Wood has succeeded General McKibbin
as military governor of Santiago. Gen;
eral McKibbin resumes his command.
While General Wood is undoubtedly
popular, the change may give rise to
some trouble on account of jealousy.
