Washington, October 2-In recognition of their long and honorable service in the army the President has directed the ad- vancement to the grade of brigadir gem eral of Col Amos S. Kimba.- of the quartermaster's department, Col. Cham bers McKibbin, Twenty-fourth infantry, and Col. Charles c. Hood, Sixteenth in fantry. This action Is made possible by l.e retirement of Brig.

During and since the Spanish war he had charge of the depot of supplies at New York.
