THE AUSTRALIAN SQUADRON.
ADMIRAL FANSHAWE'S FLAGSHIP. [PBESS ASSOCIATION.] LONDON, 11th October. Vice-Admiral Fanshawe's flagship for the Australian station will be the firstclass cruiser Spartiate, 11,000 tons, 18,000 horse-power. The Times says : — It has been considered heretofore advisable that the naval Commander-in-Chief should rank next to the Governor of the colony. The higher status of the Governor-General of the Commonwealth is sufficient to explain , the choice of a Vice- Admiral to command the Australian squadron.
