AMERICAN ACADEMY IN ROME. Eagle Bureau, 608 F o u rte e n th Street. W a s h ington, June 14—A d m ir a l George Dewey is to take active sea command again, and has agreed to act as fleet comm a n d e r o f the combined squadrons th a t are to gather In the Caribbean Sea in December fo r ex tended m aneuvers and w a r d r ills . I t is lik e ly th a t the P resident and Secretary Moody w ill go South to witness the operations o f the fleet. A d m ir a l Dewey w ill fly his fo u r-sta rre d flag a t the request of the P resident and Secretary Moody, but, although the sugges tio n th a t he take command o f the b ig fleet came from his superiors. A d m ir a l Dewey has taken up the idea w it h g re a t enthusiasm and earnestness. As chairm a n o f the general hoard he had m u c h to do w ith fra m in g the w a r game th a t is to be worked out In the Caribbean, and a t the firs t in tim a tio n from the P resident th a t he wanted the A d m iral to personally supervise the evolutions, Dewey ..gladly acquiesced. In fact, one o f the m ost pleasing features about the whole p ro je c t- is ■the intense enthusiasm of the A d m iral of th e Navy. Secretary Moody said to-day th a t if A d m ira l Dewey had been an am b itious ensign, ju s t graduated from the Academy, he could n o t have entered in to the plans fo r the fleet m a n e u vers w ith m ore heartiness. The same ■ s p irit characterizes A d m ir a l Dewey's w o rk in connection w ith the various recom m endations he has subm itted to Secretary Moody. In fact, the President, A d m ir a l Dewey and Secretary Moody are co-operating in the most com p lete harm o n y , and a ll are intensely in terested in the a c tivitie s th a t have been planned fo r the Navy. Secretary Moody has m a d e up his m in d to attend the m aneuvers in the Caribbean, and, as stated, it is more th a n lik e ly th a t the P resident w ill witness them also. The P resident has expressed a w is h to be present, and if he can arrange to g e t away from W a s h ington a t th a t tim e he ■will ce rta in ly go South w ith the fleet. Secretary M oody Is a rra n g in g a p a rty to go w ith him on the M a y flower and witness th e sum m e r m a n e u vers of the A r m y and N a v y at the eastern entrance of Long Island Sound.

June 14—The decision o f the N a v y D e p a rtm e n t to send the tra in in g ship D ixie to the Navy Yard a t League Island, P h iladelphia, instead of B ro o k lyn , was not reached u n t il a very few days ago. O r ig in a lly it was intended to have the ship re paired a t the B rooklyn yard, b u t the disaster at M a r tin iq u e occurred and the D ixie was sent fly in g to th a t part of the country on her errand of mercy. The fa c t th a t the yard a t B rooklyn ■n-as crowded -with fo u r of the biggest ships in the N a v y and a number of sm a lle r vessels, gave to the P h iladelphia people the chance to get the tra in in g ship ■which, however, so fa r as em p loym e n t o f labor Is concerned, is w o rth a ll th e battleships combined.

As previously stated in the newspapers, one of the largest factories of the Brad bury Plano Co., located at Raymond and ll’Illoughby streets, was completely de stroyed by fire on May 22. This,factory contained over 250 square pianos'which ■were undergoing repairs; and nofone of' these pianos was saved-from the fire^ which practically destroyed everything \ except the foundations,of the bulldlng. N The loss of these pianos, particularly at this season; when there Is such a demand for square pianos from the smaller towns, renders It Impossible for the company to fill Its orders. To meet this emergency the Bradbury Factory must have fifty square pianos at once—and are willing, to make an unusually liberal allowance for any-, square piano sent in to them during the next fewdays. > - Full value''win be given for your square piano in-exchange for a new upright—^ r a due bill—equivalent to cash—^wlll ■ be given, •which may be used at any time— and whlcli may be transferred or Sold to some friend who wishes to secure a new upright piano. If you are paying storage on yo'iir square piano it would be a wise plan to have the Bradbury Plano Co. send for It and save you the storage—giving you a due bill In exchange,, as . stated above.- Their dray will move It without cost to you. All owners of square pianos should either call or write to the local ■v\’arerooms at 500 Fulton street, or ’phone 1,161 Main—as this misfortune! of the Bradbury Co. offers a rare opportu nity to dispose of your square piano to good advantage.
