Admiral Howard Retires Admiral Winslow Assumes Comm<strong>and</strong> of the Pacific Fleet Admiral Thomas Benton Howard, who was relieved of the comm<strong>and</strong> of the United States Pacific fleet Sept. 13, has passed forty-five years in ilie service of his country, twenty-four years at sea, twenty-one years on shore duty, at various naval stations, <strong>and</strong> at. Washington, <strong>and</strong> eight months at home awaiting orders. This record has been surpassed by few flag officers. During the time he has been Pacific fleet comm<strong>and</strong>er Admiral Howard <strong>and</strong> officers <strong>and</strong> crews of vessels of the fleet, serving on the Mexican patrol have received the thanks of three foreign governments <strong>and</strong> a commendatory letter from the secretary of the navy for services rendered along the west coast of Mexico. Admiral Howard was born at Galena, Ill., August 10, 1854. He was appointed to the United States naval academy by President Grant, graduating in 1873. Howard was navigating officer of the gunboat Concord during the battle of Manila bay <strong>and</strong> subsequently saw service on the cruiser Charleston <strong>and</strong> monitor Monadnock during the Philippine insurrection. In 1892-93 he assumed comm<strong>and</strong> on its memorable voyage from Barcelona to Havana. In 1901 he was given comm<strong>and</strong> of the famous old frigate Chesapeake, leaving that vessel two years later to comm<strong>and</strong> the cruiser Olympia <strong>and</strong> the naval academy squadron. During the memorable world cruise of the battleship fleet, Admiral Howard, then a captain, comm<strong>and</strong>ed the battleship Ohio. Following the conclusion of his sea services at that time, Admiral Howard became a member of the general board, <strong>and</strong> later comm<strong>and</strong>ed the third <strong>and</strong> fourth divisions of the Atlantic fleet. He reached the grade of rear admiral November 14. 1910, <strong>and</strong> that of full admiral on August 24, <strong>1915</strong>. He took comm<strong>and</strong> of the Pacific fleet in January, 1914. Rear Admiral Winslow, who assumes the rank of full admiral, has the repu tation of being one of the most brilliant officers in the United States navy. He was born in Washington, D. C., July 29, 1954, <strong>and</strong> was appointed to the naval academy at large by President Grant. Both Admiral Howard <strong>and</strong> Admiral Winslow graduated third in their respective classes. Upon graduating from the academy in 1874, Admiral Winslow went to the Asiatic station on the frigate Tennessee as aid on the staff of Rear Admiral Reynolds. Admiral Winslow's most brilliant feat <strong>and</strong> one which brought him instant recognition from congress was performed on May 11, 1898, when he was in charge of an expedition from the gunboat Nashville, sent to cut the cable leading to the station at Cienfuegos, Cuba. Admiral Winslow <strong>and</strong> his men were under a heavy fire from 7:30 o'clock in the morning until nearly noon, during which thirty per cent of the cable cutting party were wounded, although they did not desist until the cable was severed. Admiral winslow was hit by a Mauser bullet, which made a clean hole through three fingers of his left h<strong>and</strong>. For three hours after being wounded the daring naval officer directed the cable cutting operations, only ceasing when the work had been accomplished. Congress promoted him to be a lieutenant comm<strong>and</strong>er for “extraordinary heroism” displayed on this occasion. He reached the rank of rear admiral in September, 1911, taking comm<strong>and</strong> of the second, the third <strong>and</strong> then the first divisions of the Atlantic battleship fleet. He was in comm<strong>and</strong> of the first division during the cruise of European waters <strong>and</strong> upon returning to the United States went to the war college at Newport. During the trouble at Vera Cruz last year Admiral Winslow was in comm<strong>and</strong> of the special service squadron of battleships. Following the seizure of the Mexican seaport <strong>and</strong> the restoration of normal conditions Admiral Winslow returned to the war college, remaining there until he left a few days ago for San Diego to relieve Admiral Howard as comm<strong>and</strong>er of the Pacific fleet. Admiral Winslow has spent. 45 years in the naval service, 26 years at sea <strong>and</strong> 19 years ashore.
