The new ARMY REGISTER.
An Interesting Document, But Lacks An
Expected Feature in Not Printing
Volunteer Line Officers.

| The Army Register for 1899 has been
published, and copy has reached the
adjutant general in this city. The Reg
lister has $50 pages, or 20 pages less than
| the Register of 1898. The new volume
| contains the names of the general Of
| ticers and officers of the general staff.
| United States volunteers, and contains
| the extra roster information with less
pages than the Register for 1898, be-
cause all of the brevet commission rec
| ords have been left out this year. OF
course, the changes during the past IA
| months have been very numerous, and
| the cataloguing of these in accurate
form has delayed the Registers publi-
| cation two months or over.
| One noted change is the addition of
| the extra artillery. the 9th and 7th regi-
| ments, and the size of these will be in
| creased in the next Register by the ad-
dition of two extra batteries to each
| regiment, or IA batteries in ALL The
| number Of infantry majors is increased
| by one, making two to each regiment,
the lieutenant colonel commanding the
J first battalion. The number of majors
remain the same in the artillery and
cavalry arms of the service.
The recapitulation of the organization
of the regular army is given in the new
Register as follows: Nine general Off
GERS, II in adjItant generals depai
ment, 10 in the ii spect+. generals de-
erals department, 163 officers and men
in the quartermaster's department, 1l2
in the subsistence department, 1S9 in the
medical department 26 in the pay de-
partment, SS4 in the corps of engineers,
$50 in the ordnance department, 212 in
the signal corps, l in the record and
| pension office, 80 post chaplains, 1852
! in 10 regiments of cavalry, 1926 in Z
| regiments of artillery, 33,267 in 25 regi-
| ments of infantry, 379 in the military
academy, 239 enlisted men unattached
to regiments, TIA Indian scouts and re-
cruting parties; grand aggregate, 65,-
917 officers and men. To this is added
719 retired officers, and 1,433 retired en-
listed men.
In the volunteer appendix the list of
general and staff officers is given as
provided for the organization of the
volunteer forces brought into the SER
vice of the United States under the acts
of congress approved April %, May IS,
July Z, and July s, 1898. There are is
major generals, 40 brgader generals,
and complete staff 1t was rather ex-
pected that the new Register would
publish the lists of officers Of the differ
ent volunteer line commands. But this
has not been done, doubtless on account
of the expense, although for purposes
of reference this would have been a
specially desirable feature.

TO Protect Bona Eide Settlers.

Max Pracht, the United States land
claim agent, went to Albuquerque this
afternoon to investigate a large number
of land claims of settlers whose means
will not allow them to contest original
claims upon the land, which are still in
force, although the original claimants
abandoned the land a considerable time
ago. The new settlers have improved
the land and are worthy people, and the
United States government WILL in their
behalf, investigate the original claims,
and if it is found they have really been
abandoned will strike them from the
books and enter the claims Of the pres
ent settlers. Mr.. Pracht will probably
remain away from Santa Fe one week.

Judge H. L. Warren, Of Albuquerque,
has been engaged in business at the
land Office for the last day or two. The
Santa Fe Gold and Copper Mining COM
pany, operating at San Pedro, re-
ceived patents a few days ago. Proceed
ings were based on survey connected
with the monument marking the bound
ary of the canon del Aqua grant. As
this monument is not on public land, it
is a question whether the survey is to
be accepted further by the government
in acting on surveys of mining proper
ties of San Pedro and vicinity.

Republican Dissensions Bring Defeat at
Oleveland-Ex Governor Altgeld Seems
Out Of the Race for Mayor
Of Chicago.
ALTGELD NOT IN IT.

Chicago, April 4.-The spring-like
weather brought voters to the polls
with rush. Thousands Of Republicans
voted for Mayor Harrison. On the 9TH

licans were making no claims.
REPUBLICANS CARRY MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Mich, April 4.-The revised
estimates of the election results place
Judge Grants plurality for supreme
court justice at $4,000. He probably
runs little behind the Republican can
didates for university regents. In De-
troit Grant ran heavily behind his tick
ct, and lost the city by nearly 1000. The
Union labor movement against Grant,
however. gained little impetus in the
smaller cities. Fully two-thirds of the
circuit judges elected are Republicans.
Detroit and the larger cities, with Pin
gree features eliminated from the con-
tests, show Democratic gains.

ray, who is running independent.

DREYFUS REVISION INQUIRY.
Slowly But Steadily the Net is Closing
Around the French General
Staff-The DOssier.

PARIS, May Slowly but steadily
the net is closing around the French
general staff in the Dreyfus revision
inquiry. Gen. MERCER, who was minis
ter of war at the time Dreyfus was
condemned, on being called upon by NJ.
De Freycinet, the present minister of
war, to produce the report regarding
the secret dossier which Lieut.. Col. Du
Patty De Clam testified he had sent to
MERCER replied that he had destroyed
it, and he called Gen. Gonse as wit
ness to the truth of the statement.
Unfortunately for Mercier, Gen.
Gonse had already testified before the
court of cessation, although Mercier
destroyed the original, he kept copy.
Another anti-Dreyfus argument has re-
ceived it's deathblow. Gen. Zurlin-
den, military governor of Paris, and
others, while testifying before the
court of cessation, attached great i'm
portance to the closing sentence of the
bordereau. Il am starting for the
maneuvers," as proving the guilt of
Dreyfus and the innocence of Ester
hazy, inasmuch as the staff probation
ers were only notified on August 90
that they would not be required to at
tend the maneuvers
1t has now been proved that this
notification was actually dated May II.
Therefore, Dreyfus could not have
written, Il am starting for the ma
neuvers," in the following August. 1t
is rumored that it was Lieut.. Col. Du
Patty De Clam himself who communi-
Gated to the Figaro the dispositions
made before the court of cessation.

.SAMPSON'SFLEET'
It Arrives Off Staten Island, After
Voyage to the West Indies.
One by One the Huge Vessels VIII Be
Placed in Dry Dock, Preparatory to
the Summer Evolutions on
the New England Coast.

NEW YORK, May 3.-Rr. Adm. Samp-
sons squadron of three battle ships
and two armored cruisers dropped an
Choir off Tompkinsville Tuesday after
noon after a 10 weeks cruise in the
West Indies. The flagship New York,
Brooklyn, Indiana. Texas and Massa-
chusetts were sighted at 11:19 off the
Jersey highlands, and two hours
later the ships were riding
at anchor off the Staten Island shore.
They will remain there for some time,
and visitors to the ships will be well
coined. One by one they will be placed
in dry dock at the Brooklyn navy
yard to have their bottoms scraped,
preparatory to the summer evolutions
off the New England coast. The start
on this cruise will be made early in
June.
Adm. Sampson appeared to be in
better health than when he left here.
He said that his health was very good
and that the voyage had been satisfac-
tory. He said:
I'VE had speed trial in the Carib-
bean and the trials showed from IL to
Is knots. The Texas made - knots,
the New York 10 and the others be-
tween those figures The Brooklyn
made about a knot less than the New
York.
