WASHINGTON, December -. - Recently
Brigadier and brevet Major General, Ran

tary department of Arizona, was ordered
to report il Washington. The War De
partment kept the reasons for ordering
Mackenzie here secret. The fact has leaked
out that the young Brigadier General is
insane and has been ordered to Washing
ton TO be placed in an asylum. An official
said to-dsy: Mackenzie does not know his
own condition. He thinks he has been or
dered here for some special duty OF official
reason. II was not discovered that he was
insane until about a month ago. General
Mackenzie is the youngest Brigalier Gen
eral in the army. He was promoted little
over year ago to his present place. He
was with Sheridan during the war, and

such good accord that at the chose Of the
war he was sppO:ntcd Colonel OF the
Fourth Cavalry and held that position
until promoted. He was the youngest
Colonel in the army then and is now
carCcly forty years old. There was consid-
cradle Jealousy manifested in army cir
Cles over MackeLzie's promotion. 1t was
freely charged that ne secured the place by
reason Of his social position and wealth.
He is nephew OF Admiral Porter and
NsCkeuZIe was jumped over q long list OF
CO'Ouels when he was made 4 Brigadier
General. The department anticipates
trouble IL he discovers the reason OF his
teing ordered to Washington in advance Of
his arrival hsrc. There are, however, too
many anxious candidates for the prOspec
