The Death OF Gen. Dyer.

Gen. A b. Dyer, of the United
States Army, died at Washington,
May 20. Gen. Dyer graduated at the
Military Academy in 1897, and was
Immediately appointed Second Lieu
tenant in the Third Artillery. In
1888 he was transferred to the Ord
nance Department and served as an
ordnance officer at its various arsenals
until 1864, when he became Chief of
Ordnance. Gen. Dyer's services in
the Mexican Var, particularly at the
conflicts of Embudo and Taos, and
other engagements, brought him sue
cessively the brevetrank of First Lieu
tenant and of Captain. To his ex-
ertions during the late war of the re
bellion in the command of the national
armory, was largely due the successful
and speedy armament of our troops.
He was brevetted in 1858 Major
General for his distinguished services
in the Ordnance Department during
the rebellion.
