PAPO ROBLES HOT SPRINGS. Cal..
April 18. The seventeenth day of Rear

Assistant Surgeon P. K. MeDonnold this
morning made the following- statement:
"Admiral Evans continues to gain
strength gradually. He sleeps well and
his appetite is improving. He had a
very good rest last night, and as the
weather remains bright, warm and
clear, he hopes today to get out in
the sunshine and fresh air for a longer
time."
Today Admiral Evans spent one of the
best days he has had since arriving here.
H took his regular daily treatment and
this afternoon was wheeled around the
verandas and gardens by his son. A
party of IB or 16 Civil War veterans of
Paso Robles called on him this afternoon.
WASHINGTON, April 1 8. A letter
received at the Navy Department today
from Admiral Thomas, temporarily in
command of the Atlantir fleet, ex
prsss the opinion that Admiral Evans
will be able to rejoin the fleet on or
about the 25th Inst., at Santa Bnrbara.
WIJ.L GET NO SUNDAY REST
Opposition to Moving of Ships From
Church People Fails.
WASHINGTON, April 18. Admiral

ment contemplate a separation of the
ships of the fleet early tomorrow morn
ing, after remaining over night at ban
Pedro instead of Monday morning, one
division going to Santa Monica, another
to Re don do and a third to Long Bech,
the .other remaining at San Pedro.
These orders have been reiterated to
him in subsequent dispatches.
The opposition to the transfer of the
ships on Sunday developed from the
Sunday Rest Association, but the or
ders to the Admiral have not been
changed, according to the statement of
the Navy officials.
Warships for Anacortes.
WASHINGTON, April 18. To gratify
the wishes of the people of Anacortes.
