OF Alice Queenan, also colOred, in October
last. The defendant in this case is the
first OF the nine prisoners in jail charged
with murder who will be called for trial
as soon as circumstances will permit. II
is the intention Of District Attorney An
deTson TO call the prisoners 10 trial in or
der OF the commission OF the crimes Of
which they are accused. An exception was
made to this, however, in the present in
stance.
II was the intention OF the District At
torney to put Charles Bowen, colored, on
trial last week for the murder OF Samuel
Jones. in September last. but for some
cause the case was postponed. In the
meantime the trial OF the Harris woman
was set for this week, so it was impOssi-
bic to set another date at this time for the
trial OF Bowen. This delay is caused by
the difficulty Of gathering, on short notice.

meudations for an increase in the number
Of officers OF the different STAFF depart
ments OF the Army The subject OF such
an increase has been under consideration
for some time, and al FIRST il was thought
that the recommendations might Just as
well be embodied in the general bill being

Army.
The recent campaign in the Philippines

was at Manila, has been compelled TO Sc
