An important change was made today in the assignment of officers of the engineer ccrps stationed in the District of Colum- bia. At the request of Brigadier General JF. Wade, commanding the army di- vision at Tampa, Fla., Captain David Du B. Gaillard, Corps of Engineers,- now in charge of Washington aqueduct, is relieved from that duty and ordered to Tampa, Fla., for duty on his staff in charge of the en- gineering operations of that division. Cap- tain Edward Burr, Corps of Engineers, principal assistant to the Engineer Com- missioner of the District of Columbia, has been detached from that duty and ordered te relieve Captain Gaillard of charge of the Washington aqueduct. General Wilson, chief of engineers, says that these changes are only temporary, and are necessitated by the state of war existing between the United States and Spain. This state of affairs naturally called upon the engineer department of the army for considerable extra service, and necessitated doubling up the duties of nearly all of its officers throughout the See in connection with the building of em- placements for batteries and the establish- ment of fields of mines and torpedoes in the principal harbors exposed to attack by the enemy. He added that the orders to Captains Burr and Gaillard were the only ones so far issued affecting officers station- ed in Washington, but that it was pos- sible that the exigencies of the situation might require the relief of other officers of the corps now on duty in this city. The relief of Captain Burr will neces- sarily increase the duties of Captains Black and Beach at the District buildings. It is believed, however, that they will be able by doubling up to administer the important affairs of the department in their charge without loss or embarrassment to the in- terests of the District. Engineer Commis- sioner Black has filed an application at the War Department for active duty in the army in the field, and it {fs possible that his request may be granted by his assignment to the staff of one of the corps or division commanders of the army se- lected to drive the Spaniards out of Cuba. In that event {t 1s probable that Captain Beach will be left In solitary control of the affairs of the engineer department and that some means wil! be taken to give him assistance outside of the army, by the ap- pointment of a suitable number of civil cusineets if found to be possible under the law. The news of the assignment of Captain Burr to the Washington aqueduct was received at the District building with great regret, not only by the District Commis- stoners. but also by all the employes of the District government hy whom he 1s known. Ceantain Burr has _ been at the District building for three and a half years, having heen detailed there in November, 1894. He is the senlor assistant to the Engineer Commissioner, Captain Wm. M. Black, and has charge of the water, light- ine and plumbing departments. Captain Burr learned of his detail from a Star reporter. to whom he stated that he would vart from his associates in the District building and the employes eener- allv with much regret. for his relations with all have always been of the most pleasant nature. It-is said that an effort will he made to induce the War Denartment cr the chief of enzineers to nermit Cantain Burr to re- main at the District building and con- tirue his connection with the District gov- ernment. When the matter was mentioned to Captain Burr. he declined to say any- thing whatever hevond the simple state- ment that whatever duties might he as- stened to him he wonld @ndeavor to per- form to the best of his ability. a PLANS FOR VOLUNTEERS. Will Have Thorough Training Before Going to the Front. The plan with respect to the state vol- unteers now is to keep them in their re- spective camps for perhaps three or four months, the monoteny being relieved by sending them on long excursions for prac- tice and to thoroughly familiarize them with ali possible fields of operation in this country. The idea of concentrating them at Washington, Richmond and Atlanta is understood to have been abandoned until such time as the regular army may be moved to the front and the militia be drawn cn to take their places. The pres- ent plans do not contemplate a large army of invasion before later in the year, and there is no need for the volunteers to be concentrated until the regulars have moy- Meanwhite it is understeod that the vol- unteers will be given all the experience of rough field service they want ‘except facing actual fire and bloodshed. It 13 said that they will be sent en expeditions outside their states and put on skirmish duty and given all sorts of s2rvice for practice, so that when they are needed they will be thor- oughly seasoned. y ——_— —-e+-____ A bill in equity has been filed by Allen C.
