A SEQUEL
TO ROYAL OAK AFFAIR. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). (Received this day at 9.25. a.m.) LONDON, September 25. There has been an interesting sequel to the Royal Oak affair, the Admiralty having made the announcement that Captain Dewar has been appointed to the command of the battlecruiser Tiger. The “Evening News” says the appointment is a generous act of grace on the, part of the Admiralty, and probably unprecedented. It does not compare in prestige with the command of the Royal Oak, which is a battleship fully commissioned. The Tiger, although a battle-cruiser, is now a seagoing gunnery firing ship, but the Admiralty act restores Dewar to a seagoing ' appointbent, giving him sufficient time to qualify for promotion to BeaiAdmiral before his retirement.
