The story of the operations at this stage Involves the recital of the destruction of the Spanish fleet, which Is told, however, In the most concise official form. One fact disposed of by the history of the days before the surrender of Santiago is that Sampson asked to be represented In any conference held to arrange the ters of the surrender of Santiago by virtue of the fact that he had engaged In the Joint operations. Shafter replied that he should be grlad to have Sampson represented, but the surrender took place before his representative could reach tho camp.

Admiral Sampson's chief of staff did arrive before the final articles were signed but Shafter declined to permit him to be one of tho signatories. A brief chapter in the report tells of tho operations of the blockade. It is said that this was of an extremely arduous character, generally unrelieved by the exhilaration of combat. Many devoted ollicers and crews from the beginning of the war till the end rendered most valuable and conscientious service without opportunity for winning distinction in battle. High praise is awarded to the marine corps for their work throughout the campaign.

In view of the prospective increase of the navy and the necessity of efuirding naval station which will be needed In the newly acquired territory of the I'nlteJ States, and especially in view of the general efficiency displayed by this corps, the secretary says that It should be Increased to men and the necessary officers. THE NAVAL MILITIA. Touching upon the naval militia. Secretary Long says these organizations were largely recruited outside of the sea faring class and lacked experience In gunnery, navigation and the hubits of the sea, which are essential to immediate efficient service in the navy. On the other hand, they were men of a high standard of education anfl Intelligence and rapidly acquired while on shipboard the knowledge necessary for their Considering their lack of experience, the services rendered by them was so valuable that the country has been amply repaid for the money expended In their Instruction and training.

Praise Is accorded to the ollicers ar.J men connected with the auxiliary naval office and the coast signal service. Secretary Long gives a complete list of all the merchant vessels and yachts that were acquired by lease or purchase for the navy and In each case shows the purchase price. There were 110 of these vessels, including the warships bought abroad. The secretary, In summing up the work Imposed upon the department in its vast-ness, says that the country as well as the service, has cause for congratulations In I 111! 1 VA The Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity entertained last evening with a dancing party at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.

ARLINGTON, I) Nov. the head of legislation recommended the secretary approves a number of recommendations of tha Judgo advocate general. A strong plea is made for the passage of the personnel bill, framed by tho board of which Mr.

Roosevelt was chairman. in connection with the subject of personnel, the secretary suggests the propriety of legislation, such as formerly existed whereby the way might be opend for men In the ranks to rise by merit to official grade. Thn secretary calls attention to what he declares to be tho injustice of the present system of rewarding olticlals for conspicuous conduct in battle. To cure these evils, the secretary recommends legislation und submits bills providing that in rewarding one ofiicer Injustice shall not bo done to another, and that where officers have been Jumped In the present war, that fact shall not operate to their disadvantage nor retard their regular promotion. It Is a recommendation of the department, though no names are mentioned, that the grades of admiral and vice admiral shall be revived temporarily as before, to be tilled by such officers as it may be the pleasure of the president to nominate and with tho consent of the senate to appoint.

The secretary Indorses the recommendation of the navigation bureau authorizing the increase, whenever necessary, of the enlisted force to 20nO men und of the apprentices to INCREASE OF THE NAVY. Th most Important chapter of the report is that relating to the incrcaso of the navy and under this head the secretary transmits and indorses the report of the naval board of bureau chiefs looking to tho increase of the navy by no less than 15 ships, somo of the most powerful character. The secretary says: "The navy should be increased, the development of its various branches should be homogenous and the Increase In ships should be accompanied by a gradual Increase In officers and men, and in naval stations, coaling stations, repairs, plants, etc. Tne naval board on construction recommends the following Increase: First Three sea-going sheathed and coppered battleships of about tons trial displacement, carrying the heaviest armor and most powerful ordnance for vessels of ithls class and have the highest practicable speed and great radius of action. Estimated cost, exclusive of armor and armament, $3,600,000 each.

Second Three sheathed and coppered cruisers of about 12,000 tons trial displacement, carrying the heaviest armor and most powerful ordnance for vessels of their class and to have the highest practicable speed and great radius of action. Estimated cost, exclusive of armor and armament, $1,000,000 each. Third Three sheathed and coppered protected cruisers of about 8,000 tons trial displacement, to have the highest practicable speea and great radius of action and to carry the most powerful oidnance suitable for vessels of their class. Estimated cost, exclusive of armor and armament, $2,150,000 each. Fourth Six sheathed and coppered cruisers of about 2,500 torm trial displacement, to have the highest speed compatible with good cruising qualities, great radius of action, and to carry the most powerful ordnance suited to vessels of their class.
