Washington, October 1.-THE war depart
ment today issued the long expected order
for the honorable discharge from the volun-
teer army of the United States of three
majorgenerals and twenty-six br;gadier-
generals of volunteers. This heavy reduc-
ton was made necessary by the fact that
the volunteer army itself has already been
reduced by fully so per cent, and there is
consequently no duty remaining for these
officers to discharge. The officers who We're
promoted from the regular army will re-
turn to their former duties. The list is as
follows:
Major-Generals: John j. Coppinger Octo-
