WALTER MCFARLAND.—A telegram was received at the War Department this morning announcing the death of Lieut.-Col. Walter Mc- Farland, Corps of Engineers, at his home in New Haven, Conn,, last night of rheumatisin of the heart." He was Dorn in New Jersey, graduated from the Military Academy July, 1860, at the head of his class, and was appointed a brevet second Leutenant of the Corps of Engineers. During the Tebeliuon he Was actively engaged at Fort Pickens, Key West, New Orleans, Mobile, and the Missts- sip! River, and became a captain of engineers in March, 1863. From June to August, 1865, he Served'as assistant adjutunt general of the 23th army corps, He reached the grade of major of en- gineers iu March, 1867, and was made a lieutenant Colonel in March, 1884. Since the war he has been engayed !n Important engtoeering operations in j the northeastern section of the country. When Gen, Newton was made chief of engineers in 1885 he Was succeeded In charge of the river and harbor improvements at New York by Col. McFarland, who has remained in charge ever since. ‘THE COUNTERFEIT SULVRR CERIIFICATES.—A clt- cular has been Issued by the Secret Service Di- viston, of the Treasury, describiug the two coun- terfeit silver certificates that have recently ap- Pe red, and have been mentioned in Tae STAR.

Negotiations are now In progress between the various officials in regard to the location of the two bureaus in the building.
