The news in The G l o e yesterday
morning that Col. Shandrew would not
again resume command of the Fiji
teenth regiment and the fact that the
organization of the regiment would re-
main intact as it now stands, with
tne exception of a step up all around
hlled the hearts of the officers with
mingled emotions. General regret was
expressed by all that they were to lose
one OF the best men who has COM
manded regiment from Minnesota,
out, If the change must come, say
they, they are glad that one of their
own is likely to be at the head Of the
organization in which they have placed
an their hopes. Each man now feels
that, II the report should prove cor
rect and the eXigencies of war should
again create vacancy above him.

tect him in the Securement of that
which IS his by right, and that in the
future the man with the political pull

who have worked faithfully to make
the regiment what it is.

Lieut.. Col. Leonhauxer has received
orders from the war department calling
for denomination of the men of the
Fifteenth. The examination will prob
ably not occur until they are away
from Camp Ramsey and assigned to
their brigade, where and whenever
that may be. Some of the officials
think 1t would not be bad idea to
re-eXamine the men now in the service
with the Fifteenth, as there seems to
be an opinion that there are a few in
the regiment who have had experience
enough to show they are untitled for
active military duty, and that it were
better to ascertain the fact here in the

The review of the First battalion
last night was a corker. Barring a
