Nominations.
CBy Associated FreSao

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9-Tt is expected
that the President viii. on Monday next,
renominate all the officers connected with
the naval victory of Santiago, July ;.
1895. whose nominations for advanced rank
failed of action in the Senate many
months ago.
The new nominations will be identical in
character with those formerly sent to the
Senate. with this; difference, that the oper-
etion of the personnel law already has adj
vanced many of the officers whose names
were On the list, and consequently the De
pIrtment is obliged to make some recon-
rrcndatfons to carry out the reccn1menoa-
lions Of the Boards instructions Rear
ADMIRAL Sampson is advanced TO rank Sl-
ter Rear-ACtmfral Howell; the senior DILL
Ger in his grade, and next below Admiral
Rear-AdnfraI schiey is advanced to rank
newt below Rear-AdmiraI Sampson
The order Of advancement in the case ot
the other officers is practically the sitne
rs in the original nomination.
