troop, End cavalry, Capt. Sibley in com
mand. Gen. Wheaton is on his annua
tour Of inspection,and is now on his re
turn from Arizona, coming direct from
Fort Apache to Fort Wingate. partition
lar interest attaches to his visit at thi
time, because he will probably make
report on the condition of the post afte
the FIRE of July 8, when half of the gov
eminent buildings we're wiped out, ant
his recommendations will carry grea
weight with the authorities in the va
department at Washington. The posi-
bility of the removal Of the post from ii
present location is freely discusse,
among the officers stationed at Fort Win
gate, but they are unable to throw an,
light upon future developments, what
ever their personal wishes may be in tn
matter. It 10 estimated that II will re
quire an expenditure Of e150,OO0 to re
store the destroyed buildings in suitabl
shape.
