secretary of war.
Il. A. ALGER.
Secretary of war.
BY command of Major General Miles.
II. c. Corbin. adjutant general.
This order of Secretary Alger has

the army.
The order of Secretary Alger will
hereafter include the chiefs of these
corps under the sole control Of the sec
rotary. Gen. Miles has held to the
construction based upon the letter of
Secretary Lincoln.

der was a recent order of Gen. Miles
to Lieut.. Col. Darlington. acting chief
of the inspector generals corps. dur
ing the absence of Gen. Breckenridge.
directing Darlington to visit certain
points in the West on an inspection
tour The order of the secretary does
