President Cleveland Rules on an Impor-
tant military Point.

On Tuesday last the President with
drew among other nominations for
promotion Of army officers that of
Major Lewis Merrill, of the Seventh
cavalry, nominated for promotion TO
the lieutenant colonelcy Of the Eighth
cavalry vice Sweitzer nominated for
the colonelcy Of the Of the same regi-
ment. This action of the President is
owing to the retirement of Col. Hatch,
Eighth cavalry, practically settling a
very important question in military
promotions. The President, in effect,
maintains that an officer who has been
incapacitated for active service, though
not yet retired, is not competent TO fill
higher position than the one for
which he has been found disqualified.
The promotion upon which the ques-
ton hinged was that Of Major Merrill.
Had Major Merrill been promoted he
would soon have been retired with the
increased rank and pay of lieutenant
colonel. AS the case now stands he
will be retired as major and the next
major below him, Maj. John Misener,
Fourth cavalry, will receive the pro-
motion. The withdrawal by the Pres
ident of the nomination Of Major
Merrill has caused surprise in mill
tary circles because of the novelty
of the proceeding. About three
months ago Major Merrill was
found physically disqualified for
further service by retiring board.
He was the senior major. Col. Hatch
was to be retired for age In January.
The usual custom in such cases was
followed. The sick leave of Merrill
was extended so as to permit him To
be promoted to the rank of lieutenant
colonel, after which he was to be re.
tired on that rank. The President
has taken the position that an Officer
found disqualified to perform the
| uuiSs VI Pieeehb 'nhh S"uhoe NC ~ "
perform those of higher rank. While
this is logical, it completely reverses
the former practice, and as there are a
number of officers in the same condi-
dition as Major Merrill, the action has
created CONSERVATION among those
who have been recommended for re-
firing. Two officers were recently
promoted who were found incapaci.
tated for service-Capt. Whitney,
Eleventh infantry, and Capt. Bellas,
Fourth cavalry. Both were condemn
ed several years ago when holding thu
rank of first lieutenant, yet both wer,
made captains last year.

SAVED BY CHANCE.
English Efforts to secure Cali
fOrnia.

Ever since the government of the
United States inaugurated its policy Of
securing California, in 1916. much un-
certainty has existed as to how active
were the efforts of England to secure
this territory at that time. The popular
impression is strong that California was
saved to the American government only
by the merest chance, and whether this
is true or not will probably never be
known till the Englis government gives
its archives to the public. But with the
Americans in California at that time,
little doubt was felt on the subject; the
English men.of-war were lowering on
the coast ready, it was believed, to
seize the country at the first oppor-
tunity. A number of American men.of-
war were here also, under the command
of Commodore Sloat. The American
vessels had instructions from Washing
ton to seize California as soon as war
was declared with Mexico, but unfort.
unately for vigorous action, Sloat was
naturally indecisive, if not positively
timid. Evidently fearing that the
Washington authorities might not sus-
tain his action, he changed his mind
several times, while delaying in
the Mexican ports, and be even re-
mained in Mazatlan after the positive
news reached him of the blockading of
the ports on the Gulf of Mexico by the
American squadron. Finally mastering
courage enough he sailed for Monterey,
and raised the flag of the United States
there before any English vessel ap.
peared. Shortly after Monterey passed
into the power of the Americans, Admi.
raj Seymour. of the British navy, en-.
tered the harbor. but he made no
attempt to interfere, and soon after
sailed away. In reviewing the history
of those times, in his fifth volume of
California, Mr.. II. H. Bancroft finds
little evidence to support the idea that
England was disposed to take active
to secure this territory. Ii
such an attempt were made, the British
government knew that it would have to
face the active hostility of the United
States, and this only real danger was
hat Mexico might grant the territory to
England.
