Lieut.. NJ. +. lamar, Commantlant of
Cadets at the State University at Baton
Rouge, recently received orders from
Washington to report forthwith to his
regiment, which is in active service in
New Mexico. The unexpected mandate
created much surprise and disappoint-
ment among the many friends of the
Lieutenant, both inside the University
and elsewhere, and there was a general
disposition to attribute his removal to
sinister influences excrted by persons
not friendly to him or tho present man
agcmcnt of the State University. It
transpires, however, that this suspicion
was unfounded, since all the officers Of
the regiment on detached service re-
ceived orders precisely similar in import
to those transmitted to Lieut.. lamar.
The Lieutenant started for New Mexico
last Sunday. A strong effort will he
made to have him rcinstated as Comma
dant.
