AN IMPORTANT ORDErT. An Order From lli Sferetarr or the Niiv.tr Ki-irj(ilr.liiir ml Iti-HrrHHuliiK tlx IHlTnrent llureiiHS of the Navy Department. Warm inotov, June 27. Secretary Tracy ban just issued an important geaeral order directing a radical reorganization of the different bureuun of the N'uvy Department, which Is to go Into effect on the 1st of July next. ThU Is a step tha secretary decided to take very soon after he waa placed nt the head of the Kavy Department. Ho discovered incongruities and divided responsibility in the duties devolving tiion different bureau chiefs under the present organlzati n, and he also found it difficult, umhr the existing Kysteni of business, to arrange and clarify the new supplies and source supply needed for the creation of new fleetu and to continue the work of increasing the navy. Ills new ordr recasts the duties of the several bureau. It simplifies and equalises the work of some of the bureaus and concentrates duties that In many cases are now scattered among several lnrcau. Iu geaeral, thq new orgauU t I a groups the duties of construction, eq lipment and supply logically and .. ttiIcally among several bureaus, and places the personnel of the navy, the training, drilling, inspection and discipline of officers and men heretofore scattered among several different bureaus under the Bureau of Navigation. Another Important and new feature of the reorgnalzatioaof the departmental work Is that constituting the chiefs ot the five bureaus that have to do with the preparation of material yards and docks, ordnatice, equipment, construction and steam en

gineering ex-offlclo a board ror tne design, construction and equipment of new ships.

London, June 58. The diplomatic feature of the repeal by Portugal of the grant for a railroad to Delagoa Uay, iu Africa, promises to become serious. h railroad wns built almost cxcluslvl7 by English capital, and tho British Government has already made earuott representations to Portugal to Induce the Ministry to revoke their action In repealing the concession. It I claimed on the part of the railway company that tho repeal was secured by a few wealthy Boers in Delagoa, who privately ured. the Portuguese Ministry to this course, in the hope of acquiring th railroad without iwiylng for it. There U no question that sharp practice ha bron resorted to. Tho claim upon which tho repeal of tho concession Is based Is that tha railro:tl, was not completed within tho time specified In the grant. As a matter Of fact tho whole line was finished when the tint expired with tho exception of the last s miles of the road, aud tho building of theso few miles was delayed by the prevalence of disastrous Hood- in the district, which rendered construction altogether out of the question. .Mis.
