ARMY JUBILANT
 OVER AFFAIRS Chances For Promotion Are Greatly Increased
BIG MEN BEFORE THE BOARD
idfa of Carrying Out thsa9resIdent's New Orders. However, Seems Pre- postcrous To Men In and
 Out of the Army.

Washington, October 3l.-(special)- Formal orders were issued by the war department directing Col. Jamse M. Mar shall of the quartermaster's department, Col. William l.. Marshall of the engi- neers' corps and ten other officers, who were not in as good condition at the end of their recent horseback ride as al its beginning, to appear before a board of retirement in this city November 12. This comprises the first officers who, as told exclusively in The Age-Herald yesterday, failed to come up to the phy- slcal standard, and there is every reason to believe that the same percentage of failures will continue as the reports of the medical boards arrive at the war de- partment.
 Both in and out of army circles the belief is expressed that the Presidents order has brought about a result little short of the ridiculous. The idea that men such as the two Marshalls, one splendid quartermaster and the other man who knows the details of the river and harbors improvements from Maine to California. should be retired from the service because they cannot ride like cavalryman is classed preposterous. The case of Maj. James c. Warren, the officer in charge of the river improve ments at Cincinnati, is even more aggra- vatng than that of the two Marshsls, al Major Warren would not retire for b years.
 Colonel Marshall, the engineer officer, is a native of Kentucky. He is very large man. probably weighing 290 pounds Naturally the ride went hard with him. It looks as If the order will weed out all the hesvyweights, regardless of their weight from the eyes up. The army gen- orally is jubiant over the turn of affairs There has not been such chance for promotion since the Spanish war.
 Move To Aid Negro Schools.
 The Rev. James l.. White, colored, presented to the President today a petl- tion signed by prominent colored people asking that the chief executive incor- porate in his annual message to Congress a recommendation that Congress appro- priatc for the benefit of colored indus trial schools something like s,2OO, 600 of unpaid deposits with the defunct Freedman's Savings and Trust company Many of the claimants for the money have long since died
 President Cleveland in 1886. called the attention of Congress to the fact that hundreds of colored people had placed their deposits with the bank under the impression that 1t was government in- stitution. He recommended that Congress should pay all claims of losses sustained by them As that was never done the proposition is now to have the money lost by the coIored people appropriated for the aid of colored industrial schools.

Leader of Navajo Band and Nine of His Followers Are Captured, and Quiet Is Restored Among

Washington, October Si-m the battle between United States troops and Indians which occurred in southern Utah sev- ers1 days ago, three persons were killed and another wounded, all believed to have been Indians. The news of the occur renee was conveyed to the indian bureau in a telegram from Superintendent shel- ton of the San Juan agency, which though dated yesterday. was not received until today.
 The army command consisted of four officers A men and three Indian scouts The telegram to the Indian bureau, which was dated at Ship Rock, N. NJ, follows:
 "The trops have returned from south ern Utah. They arrested Byillie and nine other Indians. Three others were killed and one wounded, while shooting at the Indian police and soldiers. The Indians are quiet and I do not anticipate further trouble unless It be from the Black noun tain Indians."
 This is the first information received re- garding the encounter The officials of the Indian bureau assume that the killed and wounded were Indians. The Indians taken 1nlO custody were band or NaNa- Jos that have been making trouble on the Navajo reservation in northwestern New Mexico and northeastern Arizona. For some time a number of Indians. under the leadership of Bylillie, have been ere ating disturbances because of their disln- clnation to observe the regulations Of the Indian office and their efforts to pre- vent others of the tribe from doing so, So pronounced have tholr objections be- come and so offensive their actions. that Superintendent Shelton made request that body of soldiers be sent 10 the res- ervation. and accordingly Troops I and K of the Fifth cavalry, under command of Capt H. o Willard. were avspa tched from Fort Wingate, N ,N~ '7 Anetha.
