WASHINGTON, Aug. 1,-BrigaG GieI General Ralph W. Hoyt will succeed Major General William H. Carter in command of the maneuyer brigade in Texas when the latter is relieved on August 15.
 General Carter will come to Wash ington to resume his duties as assist. ant chief of stan, relieving General Arthur Murray who will take com mand of the department of the west with headquarters at San Francisco
 The large reduction in the number of troops in Texas, has caused the abandonment of the original plan to rotate the various major generals in tours of duty there. At present only a brigade of the original maneuveI division remains, and while it is not contemplated to reduce considerably the present force, the brigade is scarcely of sufficient importance to justify the assignment Of a major
