REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Dec 13.-The most intense
interest prevails in military circles regard
ing the prospective appointment of two
Erigadier Generals to fill the lonG-existing
vacancies caused by the retirement of Cen
erals Merriam and Hall. The legion of
candidates for these offices has been grad
Ually sifted down by the President to about
twelve officers. VINO are practically equal
in merit and the President is finding con-
siderable difficulty in making his selection
for the two vacancies.
Gossip has it that the two most like!:
candidates are Colonel Charles c. Hood of
the Infantry and Colonel Theodore i. Wint
of the Cavalry. although the friends of
Colonel ]. w. Bubb of the Infantry, Colonel
p. c. Hams of the Engineers. Colonel ].
p. Sanger of the Inspector Generals De-
partment and Colonel Chambers Mckibbon
of the Infantry are still sanguine OF the
appointment of those officers.
The President has practically decided
against the appointment OF all officers near
the age of retirement. many of whom saw
service in three wars. the Civil War. the
Indian War and the Spanish War and to
that end has prepared q bill providing for
their voluntary retirement with an addi-
tional grade. About 20l officers will be af-
fected by this proposed legislation.
