Chosen by the Hoard OF O6cers to Command

Major Francis Vinton Greene Of Gen. Louis
Fitzgerald's staff was elected Colonel Of the
Seventylrst Regiment BY the Board Of Onl-
GERS last evening. Although one or two OF the
officers had individual preferences. his cleo
ton was practically unanimous.
Col Greene was graduated from West Point
in 1866. and after being instructor in cngi-
neering at the academy for several years. he
served in the regular army until 1885 as Cap
tain OF Engineers. At the breaking out Of the
Russo Turkish war no took service in tho
Russian army. and was attached TO Gen. Sko-
beliefs staff. He participated in all the prin-
cipal battles OF the war. and was decorated by
the Car at its close with the orders OF st.
Anne and st. Vladimir. His book on the Russo
Turkish war Is considered an authority.
The Seventy-first Regiments choice OF such
nan for its commanding officer IL regarded
as one certain to add to the efficiency OF the
regiment and to secure for 1t commanding
place in the local militia. The disuiicction in
Company t. which is said to have ma nifested q
disposition to secure its transfer to the Tween.
ty-secOnd Regiment. Is expected to vanish in
the, enthusiasm, with which tho new Colonel
will he welcomed.
The authorization of the publication OF bids
for the new armory OF tho regiment on the
same day as its choice for Colonel Is consid-
cred good augury for the future.

such prompt and thorough steps 10 stop
the importation of cholera.
The cholera in Great Britain seems to
have been fairly mastered The chief
physician Of the local government board
told an Associated Press representative
yesterday that the outlook was entirely
satisfactory. He said that although about
thirty cases OF cholera at all the ports
of Great Britain had been dealt with
during the last ton days, there was
no single instance of the disease
spreading beyond tho person first at
tackled. While it mas been proved that
every case Of cholera occurring in this
country was contracted abroad and that
the medical board PCT its best face on
tho situation, still the fact Is palpable
70 every body that the public has become
utterly uncOncerned and has become
imbued with the conviction that the
disease will not be allowed to spread
aud that it will never assume an epi-
Gemic form.
