OF
MAJ. GEN. RUGER.

Washington, D. c., March
26.-Maj. Gen. Thomas H.
Ruger, commanding the De-
partment of the East, with
headquarters at New York,
will be retired April 2, and the
President will have a large
number of important army ap-
pointments at his disposal,
ranging from Major General
down to second lieutenant.
All brigadier generals ase can
didates for promotion, with
the chances, it's said, slightly
in favor of the selection of
Gen. Brooks, stationed at St.
Paul. The eligible list for the
brigadiership includes twenty
five Colonels OF infantry, ten
Colonies of cavalry. and five
Colonies of artillery. Col. w
R. Shafter, of the Ist Infantry,
stationed in California, is the
senior Colonel.
It seems TO be settled that
Mai. Gen. Wesley Merritt,
stationed at Chicago, in CON-
mand of the Department of
the Missouri, will be transfer
red to New York on the retire
ment of Gen. Ruger.
He has been ordered to
duty in New York, in connec
ton with the military participa
ton in the ceremonies over
the transfer Of Grants tomb to
the city OF New York. One
of the Brigadier Generals,
most likely the one selected
for promotion, will succeed

property worth 500, 000.0 1000.
W lich had been conveyed TO

of Claus and Anna Spreckels
of the Judgment of the lower
