ARMY OFFICERS STUDY THE SIGNS What the Compulsory Re- | tirement of Colonel Bain- bridge Signifies. { ImmediatePromotion of Lieuten- | ant-Colonel Miles Depends on Shafter’s Confirmation. Shou'd Mi'es Become Colomel of the | Fuirst Infantry He Would Prob. ; ably Command at the Presidio. | | The retirement of Colonel Edmund C. | Bainbridge, Third Artillery, by order of the President, and the death of Colonel | Horace Jewett, Twenty-first Infantry, caused much comment 1n military circles |of San Francisco yesterday. Colonel Bainbridge was ordered from St. Augus- ment of Colone) William R. Shafter to be brigadier-general at the session to-mor- row, or at any time before another infan- | try vacancy occurs, Lieutenant-Colonel | Evan Miles, now av Benicia, would gbe- | come colonel of the First Infantry. Heis next in line after Lieutenant-Colonel Klein. The chances are greatly in favor of Colonel Miles becoming commander of the post at the Presidio. There may be some cavalry vacancles before long. Colonel Mills of the Third and Colonel Mizner of the Tenth have re- spectively attained the age ot 62 years. oloael Sumner of theBeventh will be 62 next August. Mark Hanna is said to have a friend in the cavalry—Lieutenani-Colonel Henry of the Third, Several retirements, com- ulsory or elective, would give eacles to eutenant-Colonel Henry and put bim in line for a star. On the 8th inst. Major-General Frank ‘Wheaton will attain the retiring age of 64. He wes appointed major-general but a month ago. The President has a group of good brigadiers from which the major- general’s vacancy may be filled. Brooke is the senior brigadier. In the eemy it is said that Brigadier- General Coppinger aspires to be major- general, but the opinion is expressed that he received the full measure of his deserts when President Cleveland made him a brigadier - general. President Harrison once flatly refused to nomirate Coppin- ger, although importuned to do so by Mrs. James G. Blaine, the colonel’s mother-in- law. - | “The story goes in army circles that Cardinal ~ Gibbons requested President | Cleveland to make the appointment, and | in connection with the request some war | reminiscences were introduced. The fact was recited that President Lincoln per- ! suaded Henry Ward Beecher and’ Arch- COLONEL EDMUND C.

He was born in 1835, but was appointed from New York as a cadet to_tbe United ates Military Academy at West Point He graduated July 1, 1856, He served mainly in the Third, Fourth and Fifth regiments of Artillery and was | breveted for faithful and meritorious ser- | vices during the war. When Colonel Bainbridge was ordered to California with his regiment it was sur- mised that he would succeed General Gra- ham as commander of the post at the Presidio, but other arrangements were made at headquarters in Wasnington, so that Colonel Shafter came to the Presidio with the headquarters of the First In- fantry, and Colonel Bainbridge established | headanarters of the Third Artillery at Angei Isiand. | It was stuted in telegrams from Wash- ington that Colonel Bainbridge has out- lived his usefuln as an army officer, and | therefore the President exercised executive prerogative of retiring him at the | age of 62 The colonel has the reputation | in the army of preserving discipline and | efficiency in his regiment.

Army otlicers interpret thesignals from Washington as meaning that the aaminis- tration will find others available for retire- ment. Itis not fancied that Colonel Bain- | bridge was singied out, but on the other band it is cobstrued that room is to be made for the advancement of younger army officers. Colonel Bamnbridge's retirement will promote to the grade of colonel Lieuten- ant-Colonel Marcus P. Miller, now at St. Augustine in command of the First Artillery. It does not follow that Milier will come to Angel Istand. He will probably exchange with Colonel Roval T. Frank, now colonel of the First Artillery Regiment, but on dny at the ‘artillery School. -Colonel Frank “will no doubt stay at the scnool until he resches the age of retirement, which is not far distant. It will make no difference to him whether' he is colonel of the First or the Third, but it will make a great aifference to Colonel Miller. The latter was com- pelled to make one expensive move re- cently from New York to Florida, and therefore would have a right to use all the proper influence availabie to obviate an- other costly transfer from Florida to Cali- fornia. Should the exchange of Miller and | Frank take place, Lieutenant-Colonel E - ward B.
