COL. MILLER'S PROMOTION.
Made a BriEadier General for His
OCCUPATION of IloiIO.

| The nominations today include that of
Col Marcus p. Miller of the Sd Regiment
| of Artillery to be brigadier general in the
regular army. Gen. Miller commanded the
| military forces which captured the city of
| Iloilo without the loss Of man or an arm
and his promotion is in recognition of his
valiant and meritorious services on that &C.
caSion.
The new brigadier general is a native of
Massachusetts and was graduated from the
| West Point Military Academy in July 1858
being assigned to the artillery arm OIL the
service. He served throughout the civil
war with conspicuous gallantry, and was
| breyetted three times, the last time as lieu
tenant colonel for gallant services in the
battle of Dinwiddie Court House. Va His
previous breVetS were for meritorious sery-
ices in the battle of Malvern Hill, Va, and
in the cavalry campaign from Winchester
to Richmond, Va
After the close of the civil war he took a
prominent part in the campaigns against
the hostile Indians, and was brevetted COL
onel for gallant and meritorious services in
action against Indians in the lava beds,
California, in April. 1873. and for special
gallantry and military ability in action
against the Indians at Clearwater Idaho
July IL and l., 1877. For several years
past he has been in command of the Sd Ar
tillery at San Francisco.
AT the outbreak of the Spanish war he
was appointed brigadier general of yolun-
teers, and as such commanded the expedi-
ton which sailed from San Francisco for
Manila in November. Although his service
in the Philippines has been comparatively
brief, it has been marked with discretion
and ability. 1t was on account of his SOL
dierly qualities that he was selected to
command the important expedition against
the Filipino insurgents who had organized
for resistance to the American forces at
Iloilo. His highly successful conduct of
that campaign has properly resulted in his
advancement in the army. He will reach
the retiring age on the 22d Of next month
but it is probable that he will continue to
serve in the volunteer establishment until
there are no longer indications of trouble in
the Philippines.

REPAIRING THE WEAK PIER.
Work on the Aqueduct Bridge to BE
Resumed.

Col. Allen, the engineer officer in charge
of the improvement of the Potomac river,
is making preparations for a resumption of
the work of repairing the defective pier of
the Aqueduct bridge crossing the Poto-
mac. Proposals will be invited for the
work, and it is expected that contract
will be made within a few weeks When
the military camp was established at Dunn
Loring, Va, early last summer. ths travel
over the bridge became so heavy that it
was necessary to temporarily suspend op-
erations on the bridge. The project con-
templates thu reconstruction of pier No L.
and it was deemed inexpedient to take down
that pier while the travel was so heavy
over the bridge The Houston Construction
Company of Philadelphia had the contract
for the work, and because Ii refused to
comply with the instructions of Col. Allen
for temporary suspension, the contract
was annulled. That was in May of last
year. since which time no work has been
done on the pier.
Col. Allen says that the work of dredging
the Virginia channel of the Potomac OPP
posite Washington was continued during
the month of January, but that only II 12S
cubic yards of material were dredgsd.
