Capt. Francis NJ. Scnreiner, U. S. A.,
for many years connected with the
Quartermaster's Department, has been
retired because of disability incident to
the service. The officer is a native of
the District and served as a volunteer
during the Spanish-American war He
was appointed a captain in the quar-
termaster's service in May, 1888, and
was honorably discharged three years
later, having risen to the rank of major
In February, 1901, he was appointed a
quartermaster in the regular army with
the rank of captain. He was stationed
at the War Department and served with
such zeal that his strength has failed
him. Captain Schreiner is well known
and liked here and there are many who
will be sorry to hear of mis- impaired
health.

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES.

81. Stephen C. Mills. U! S. A, of the
Inspector Generals Office, is in Wash
ington after an official trip to Denver,
where Secretary Root sent him to pre-
pare a report on the Baldwin incident.
Gen. Frank D. Baldwin, at present com
mander of the Department of Colorado,
is reported to have said in an interview
with reporter that negro and Filipino
troops were placed in the hottest posi-
lions because il was immaterial
whether they were killed or not. Gen
eral Baldwin declared to the War De-
partment he had been misquoted. and
he has high regard for the negro and
Filipino soldier. The reporter who pub
lished the interview has made out a
sworn statement that his paper printed
General Baldwin's remarks exactly as
they were made.
1t is not unlikely that Colonel Mills
will present his report to Secretary
Root today. The result is anxiously
awaited.

hand engine which in no manner fitted
the specifications The aldermen have
been well aware of the condition Of the
engine, and when the bill was PIE
sented an investigation was begun at

with the color of boodling was revealed
when Mr. James, upon inquiry, stated
that the second. hand engine had been

will fully occupy his time. 1t is
further announced that when Gen
eral Young goes on the retired list,
which he will do because of the age
limitation next January, General
Chaffee will succeed him as Chief
of Staff. General Corbin, Adjutant
General of the Army, has been ap-
pointed a member of the General
Staff as has General Carter and it
is current belief in army circles
that Corbin is scheduled to become
Chief of Staff eventually on the re-
tirement of General Chaffee. 1t
is worthy of note that neither
Young, Chaffee nor Corbin are
graduates of West Point and both
Young and Chaffee have risen
from the ranks. General Corbin is
regarded as having filled the most
responsible position in the army
during the war with Spain and his
promotion, although seriously op-
posed by the friends of General
Miles, is felt by the army gener-
ally to have been well deserved.
