Mast ne Further Cut.
1t should be further explained that the
reduction in The list OF general officers made
IN tclay. orders is not sufficient in itself
TO meet the demands Of the existing law.
There must be a further cut, in fact. the
list Of major generals and briga1ier gem
erals remaining must be reduced by ten al
together IA order to bring the list down
20 the nineteen permitted
In edecting this reduction It is the in
tention 70 reduce some Of The major gen
erals to the rank of br;gadIer generals in
stead Of mastering them out Of the service.
Also in the case Of some brigadier generals
yet TO be dropped 1t will doubtless be found
that instead OF being mustered out OF the
United States service entirely. some Of the
officers who held lower positions in the
regular army viii return to their former
TegimeHtal and stan places
The major generals who retain their vol
unteer commissions at present are Wade.
Shatter, Otis, Wilson Fi,zbug5 Lee
Wheeler Bates. Young. Lawton. Cbaree.
Anderson. Macarthur and Ludlow.
The brigad!er generals remaining are.

II Is not contemplated to make any more
oranges in the volunteer general and STAFF
officers at present. Under the law the Of
hcers mustered out today could be retained
until the proclamation of peace was issued.
but the president determined to muster ont
all that could be spared. It was found i'm
possible 10 reduce the force in the nav de-
partnent as the officers are now all an
ployed in the payment Of troops in differ
ent stations and in settling accounts with
volunteer troops being mustered cut.
