Anniston, October 12.-(Special)-Capt J. B. Mcdonald of the third cavalry was on yesterday presented to President Roose- welt by Representative Thompson of this State as an applicant for brigadier gen. eralship.

 Captain Mcdonald is now in Washing ton for the purpose of getting an exten- sion of his furlough. and will doubtless apply for the brigadiership while in that city. He was wounded in the Philip pines last spring while assaulting a force of insurgents under General Tinto, who was captured by the Captains troup.
