Word was received, Saturday morning
by President Fellows of the University Of
Maine, to the effect that Capt. Amos III.
Martin, 10Th L. S. Inf. commandant of the
cadet battalion and instructor of military
science, had been ordered to fill Il va
cancy in the quartermaSters department.
The transfer is by special command of the
President and was signed by II. G. Corbig,
adjutant general, by order of Major Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles. Though Capt. Mar
tin has been at the university but d short
time he has made himself popular among
the men in his command and his departure
will be loss not only to the department
of which he was the head but also to the
university at large.
AS yet nothing can be aScertaned as to
Captain Martins successor but in all
probability the battalion will be deprived
of q commander for a short time at least.
Capt. Martin will leave in the near future
for the Philippines where he will assume
the discharge of the duties OF his new po-
sition.
