HASKELL LIKELY To HEAD

Regular Army Officer Who Served
as Colonel at Border Expected
to BE ReaSSigned.

II the SiXty-ninth Regiment Is
again called to the colors It is likely
that Capt. W. \, Haskell Of the cav
airy branch of the regular army will
be Teassigned to it as Colonel by the
War department., So favorable an
impression did Haskell make as
Colonel OF the regiment while 1t was
on the Mexican border that the FIRST
suggestion for his rcassignmcnt will
come from high officers OF the Ma
tiondl Guard, This was learned to-
day on good authority
lntil recently the general impress
sion was that Latham Il, Reed, Lieu
tenant Colonel of the sixty ninth,
would be promoted to the ColunclCy,
II Is known that Major Gen. O'Ryan
and other officers at Division Head
quarters favored him, Before max
ing any recommendations however
Division officers decided TO learn the
sentiments OF the rank and file OF the
sixty ninth's members,
capt. Haskell Is credited with bring
ing the sixty ninth back to its old
/ time hghting form when II arrived at
/ the border somewhat below its ordl-
nary standard following the rejection
Iof rol. Louis -, Conlcy ana Lieut.
/ Col John J. Fhelan for physical dis

fast as they reported. were told they
would be allowed to go home for din
nor and sleep tonight, reporting at
