ARMY NEWS.

Private telegrame received in military
circles this afternoon from Washing
ton state that the nomination of Col.

San Antonio is the only large city in
the United States having govern
ment post or near it, where the post is
almost a part of the city as it is with
Fort Sam Houston. Jefferson bar
racks, st. Louis post, are about seven
miles from the center of the city and
train must be taken to reach them;
the post at Chicago is 16 or Is miles
from the city and so are all others
with the exception of New York. This
post being so near the city is great
advantage to the town, the soldiers ex-
pending the greater part of their salar-
les here the city not being too far on
to allow them to make trip to 1t ev-
cry day should they care to do ODE
side this the officers and families spend
a great deal in the city as well as the
supplies purchased by the government.
All these help to build up a town and
would be missed should the post be
taken away, thing which is not very
likely to happen, but nevertheless, the
soldiers should be given credit for their
share in building up the city. If the
post was not here the merchants would
soon miss ii.
