While General Dickinson has not yet
made public his staff appointments, enough
is known that those who expected a general
shaking up OF that organization will be
doomed to disappointment The changes
will be few indeed, and those who have but
few years more to serve before eligibility
to retirement viii be permitted to serve that
period of service. not in "servng the State
In war;" but in % the performance of mill
tary DUTY and in 1.-THE exercise of military
functions" The First Infantry Regiment,
by the way, will lose one Of its most efficient
members of the staff by promotion, and that
is First Lieutenant Edward G. Hughes, q.
NJ. who has been such since April, 1888
Samuel p. Blumenberg has received his
commission, dated Tuesday, as Captain of
the San Francisco Hussars, with rank from
the 18th of January. He qualified on the
23d of that month, but the commission was
withheld until the Governor satisfied himself
with regard to certain matters. The issu-
ance of the commission will relieve Captain
c. c. Keene from the command of the troop
and will permit him to 60 on the retired list.
General Dickinson made a tender yeSter-
day of the services of the brigade as the

be ordered to parade on the 18th inst
