Roosevelt and Brownson
Differ On Policy Of
Command
The brief dlipatch received by the
B u I le 1 1 n a few dayt ago announc
ing the retirement of Admiral Brown
con as chief of the Bureau of Naviga
tion In the Navy Department was a
bare outline of an Incident that it
stirring Washington to the depths. It
seems that the President and Admiral
Brownson got Into ' a sharp contro
versy, and Brownson has quit. He Is
caldfio be supported In his contentions
by Senator Hale and other Important
leaders. The New York Herald ser
vice telh the following story of It:
..Washington, I)cc. 25. "Wo will
have It as lt is In the army," nro tlio
words which President Roosevelt Is
loportcd to linvo used when ho decid
ed, over tho protest of Hear Admlial
Iliowuson, to plaeo lliu hospital ship
Kellef under command of Surgeon
Charles tf, Stokes, tjierchy causing
Hear Admiral llrownsftii to resign and
creating tho greatest naval sensation
tlnco thu Sampson-Schley contro
versy. J
Tho odlccrs of thu lino nro secretly
opposed to giving commands to sur
geons and uphold ilroVuson, but they
nro too discreet to oicnly crltlclzo
tho president or Secretary SIctcalf.
That n serious breach exists be
tween tho bureau of navigation and
tlio bureau of mcdlclno of tho navy,
Involving tho question of tho respons
ibility of tho latter bureau, wns made
apparent tonight In a statement issued
by Surgeon General I'rdslcy M. Illxey
of tlio navy, In which he touched upon
(ho clicumstanccs leading up to tho
probable selection by tho President
of n medical filacer to command tho
hospltnl ship Hellef over tho protest
o Hear Admiral W. It. Ilrownson,
chief of tho bureau (if navigation, who
sent his resignation 'to tho President
yesterday.
Rlxey's Contention
Surgeon Gencrnl Illxoy maintains
that hospltul ships as a rulo linvo been
commanded hy medical odlccrs, with
a sailing master and civilian crew for
purposes of navigation. This partic
ular vessel, hu sa)H, formerly be
longed to tho army and always wan
commanded hy n medical officer when
used hh ii hospital ship. In attempt-
lug to unify tho medical sorvlccH of
tho army nnd navy, ho says, a joint
army nnd navy hoard of medical of
ficers, which was convened by cxecu
tlvo order moro than a yoar ago, rec
ommended' that hospital ships should
bo commanded by medical officers and
that that recommendation was ap
proved by both tho Secrotary of War
and tho Secretary of tho Navy In gon
eral ordors. Slnco tho Civil Wnr, ho
Bays, nil hospital ships nnd medical
transportB of tho army hnvo been
under tho surgeon general of tho
army. (
Japanese Experience
Ho says that .Japanese hospital
ships woro commanded by medical of
ficers aftor having tried lino ofllrers.
Theso ships, ho sas, nro simply float
ing hospitals, ilroperly undor tho con
trol of tho medical department, and
should ho conducted In penco exactly
ns In tlmo of vtar. This Is especially
so, ho'tidds, hecnuso during times of
wnr lino officers can not bo spared
and do not and should not deslro tho
conimand of theso ships,

Panama
Refuses ;
Chinese
Tho Republic of Panama has re
fused, without any reason given, a
lauding to a Chinese citizen of the
United States. Tho Chlncso Is Mow
Kwong, who recently went from Ho
nolulu to Panama with tlio (mention
of remaining there and going Into
business.
When Mow Kwong reached Pan
ama, ho was denied tho right to land,
although ho had with him his papers
attesting that he was n citizen of the
United Slates. Protests woro of no
uviMI, nnd tho officials refused tn
give any reason for tho nctlon. Mow
Kwong was obliged to return to San
Francisco on tho steamer on. which
ho went to Panama, and from tho
Coast ho returned December 24 to
Honolulu on tho Siberia, to endeavor
to And out, if possible, why nn Amer
ican citizen was denied tho right to
enter tho llttlo isthmian republic.
Tho Chlncso lias visited Acting
Governor Mott-Smlth to ask him
what ho should do, and Mott-Smijth
told him that he himself could do
nothing; thut It was a matter for
tho Stato Department of (ho United
Stnlrs to tnko up. Accordingly tho
question has been passed up to
Washington.
Mow Kwong has lived nearly nil
his lifo In Honolulu, whoro ho has
long heen a prominent member of
the Chlncso colony. Ho was a citi
zen of tho Kingdom In 1892, and Is
now a naturalized citizen ot tho
United States. Ills character Is good
nnd there seems no just reason wny
ho should nnt bo allowed to land at
Panama If ho I'.elrcs.
Tho uetlon I-;, " by liio Panama
officials 1st of especial Interest Hero.
In view ot tho fact that ot lato thcro
has been a strong Inclination on tho
part of many Chlncso ot Hawaii to
go to Panama to live. Whether tho
action ot tho Republic officials is di
rected nt Mow Kwong alono or whe
ther It Is Indlcatlvo ot tho attltudo
of tho llttlo Republic toward all Chi
nese, whether citizens of tho United
States or not, is a question which
cannot bo answered now.
