MERRlTT'S APPOINTMENT

Is A HIGH HONOR.
Washington, May 11.-Mc kinley
appointment, on the recommends
ton of Secretary Alger, Of Genel al
Wesley Merritt rs military governor
of the Philippine Islands, is regard
ed by officers III the United States
army as an end TO the i'll feeling
which it is understood has hitherto
existed between the secretary OF
war and General Merritt.
Much dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed by the friends of General
Merritt that be was not Immediately
appointed at the outbreak Of hCs.il-
tiles between Spain and the United
States to the command of the Cuban
invading army. Major General Mer-
rift ranks next to General Miles IN
the army of the United States and,
according to all custom, should be
given one of the highest commands
When it was understood that Gen
eral Merritt would see during this
war none of the actual fighting, but
would be left in command OF the
$4,000 volunteer troops for coast
defense purposes, much dissatisfac-
ton was expressed through his
| friends in the army. 1t was alleged
that he had been given this compar-
atively upimportant command solely
on account OF the enmity existing
between him and the secretary, as
| well as General Miles. The appoint
ment that he has now received has
relieved all such superstition, as II
is by far the most important assign
ment that has yet been made, and If
! in keeping with his high rank.
There is lietle doubt that personal
i'll feeling has been thrown aside by
the leaders in the army, and boti
the Secretary of War and Genera
Miles heretofore have refrained from
assigning General Merritt to com
naand simply because there was nj
place important enough for an office
} of his high rank. The position which
he is now to hold is considered b.
all officers in the army as the mos
honorable to which he could hav
; been assigned.
General Merritt's record has bse
a most brilliant one il every respect
He entered the Military Academ
( at West Point the LIST Of July, 1o5;
s on an appointment from the state {

meant. Some said that word had come
that we were to go to Porto Rico. No
