Mobile, Ala, May 4-News of the
promotion of Brigadier General Cop
pinger to be major general and Colon
els Snyder and Hawkes., of the Nine
teenth and Twentieth, to be brigadiers
was welcomed with shouts in camp
this afternoon.
General Coppinger took his honors
modestly, saying that he was pleased,
but that his pleasure for himself was
nothing like that he felt in knowing
that such able officers as Snyder and
Hawkes. had received deserved promo
ton. All the officers present at head
quarters shook hands with the general
and congratulated him
Major Pond carried the news to the
promoted colonels and when it was re-
ceived great assemblage gathered at
once and loud and frequent were the
cheers raised by the men of the regi-
mentS.
Half an hour later the band of the
Nineteenth drew up in front of Gene
raj Snyder's tent and serenaded him.
He made a little speech to the boys
thanking them for the compliment and
their manifestation of good will.
