ARMY PROMOTIONS.
Colonies About to Retire to Be Ad-
vanced to Brigadier General.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lit is un-
derstood that the President will avail
himself of the opportunity offered by
the existing vacancies in the regular
army, caused by the death of General
Henry and the retirement of General
Shafter to promote and retire, with the
rank of Brigadier General in the regu-
lar army, few of the remaining Colo
nels of the regular establishment who
rendered conspicuous service in the
civil war.
This would be a revival of the rule
Which led to the retirement in this
manner of five of these Colonies, when
General Skaters retirement occurred.
Since that time efforts have been made
by friends of the officers who were not
advanced at that time to secure some
such recognition of them, and it is be-
Eeved the President is favorably in
clined. At least, he has caused to be
supplied to the War Department full
records of the military services Of the
officers deemed eligible for promotion
and retirement. The list does not. of
course, include all the Colonies in the
service, nor all of those who were vet
Grams of the civil war, for all of these
are not anxious to be retired, even in
consideration of the advance in rank.
Two of the names that are under
consideration are those of Ohio Colo
nels, namely, Colonel Andrew S. Burt,
Twenty fifth Infantry, and Colonel Gill
bert S. Carpenter of the Eighteenth In
fantry, both of whom stand well I'D on
tn elist and have records of the highest
excellence.

that one of the remarkable innovations
in warfare will shortly be tested in
South Africa. Lieutenant Foulks, a
young officer of the Royal Engineers,
sailed for Cape Town October 18th, to
put photographs to uses hitherto con-
sidered impracticable, which, if success
full, will revolutionize the methods of
military reconnaissance. Briefly
summed up, Foulks' proposition is to
indicate the exact position and forma-
ton of the Beers by means of telephoto
pictures. He takes out an equipment
of his own invention, and is attached to
General Buffers staff.
The Duke of Newcastle's offer to bear
the cost of fitting out hospital ship
to be known as the Princess of Wales,
has been accepted by the Red Cross
Society. A private donor has under
taken to provide another Red Cross ship
with a complete Roentgen apparatus.
The raising of the fund for the Amer
lean hospital ship, though bidding fair
to be successful, has been marked by
some division of feeling in the Amer-
can colony. It has been learned by
representative of the Associated Press
that several Americans have declined
to contribute. for, While sympa thizing
with the object they said they believed
the methods of raising the subscription
had resulted in much obnoxious social,
