Jutant general of the state, and the
held and staff officers of the new reg
iments will come mostly from those
former officers of the national guard
who have had the misfortune this
time to be stan duty. Among these
are Coils. Worthy Patton. formerly Of
the first; Albert Bleuel, formerly Of
the fourth, and George Graham, at
present inspector Of small arms prac-
tice. These officers will probably
come in the order their names are
here given. In case there are three
regiments only, Col. Patton is very
likely to be colonel Of the sixth,
which, by the way, was the number
of his old regiment in the war of the
rebellion, and this would leave Cald-
well, Bleue and Graham for the three
positions OF lieutenant colonel, though
1t is possible that Gen. o. B. Zwiet-
usch, now quartermasterg general, may
be preferred to some of them, though
a much younger man. Coils. Bleuel
and Graham were veterans of the late
war and that fact my give them the
precedence, but there will be seven
majors to appoint, besides quarter
masters and adjutants galore.

\ DENIAL.
Washington. May 23.-The report Of
an engagement between the American
and Spanish fleets of Mole St Nicho-
las is positively denied by the navy
department. The positiveness with
which this denial Is made indicates
that the department has knowledge
of the whereabouts Of the fleets and
that they are not where an immedi-
ate engagement is expected. The
war board apparently Is pursuing a
course of great caution in order to
make absolutely sure of victory
when the battle does occur. A posi-
bility exists that Cervera will at
tempt to land the transports he is

PERSONALITIES.

General Miles now occupies the rank
of major general. His title as given
in the register is major general, com
manding the army" General Grant
held both the higher ranks of lieuten-
ant general and general of the army.
Grant was appointed lieutenant gen
eral on March /, 1864. After Lees
surrender in 1865 he was advanced to
the rank of general by act of congress,
as an honorary recognition of his SER
vices. He resigned this rank of
course, on his election to the presi-
dency and it has never been revived i.
General Sheridan was made lieutenant
general, and at his death this rank
was conferred upon General John NJ .
Scofield, now retired. Just before
Grants death congress placed him on
the retired list with rank of general
thus restoring to him the rank which
he had previously held.
C. H. Mackay, who was married in
New York May Is to Miss Catherine
Duer, is the only surviving son of Mr..

born in San Francisco twenty-four
years ago. After his graduation from

lent linguist, has the reputation of be-
ing a clear headed business man, and
is a director in his fathers companies,
the Commercial Cable and the Postal
Telegraph. Young Mrs Mackay, the
bride, has had an exceedingly pleasant
social career. She has been a great
society fayorte, noted for her wit
an inheritance in her family and for
her many accomplishments She is
connected in so many ways, both by
blood and marriage, with prominent
New York families, as to be a subject
OF remark. She is the daughter of Mr.

senger train had orders to run

second section OF the military train

conductor of the military train sent
back a flagman to warn the passen-

far enough. The engineer Of the pas
senger train did not see the danger
signal until within a short distance
of the military train. He reversed his
engine and put on the brakes. but the
train crashed into the rear of the mil
