san Francisco, July 14-Major Gen
eral Shafter will have reached the age
limit in about three months and 1t is
said that his friends are working ener-
eoticaIlv to secure his retention in the

1f Gen. Shafter argue that since the de-
partment of the Pacific has become SO
important by reason of the acquisition
Of the Philippines, it is inadvisable to
make change in its commander just

riam at present in command of the de-
partment of the Columbia, is likely to
succeed Shafter in the event of his re-
tircment
