That Dosls With Oficisis In WASHINGT March 17.--The provision of the naval personne! bill relating to the enough officers to creat promotions, becomes operative June, at which time the president may designate a board of admirals to determine those officers whom 1 is deemed advisable to place on the retired Mat. #0 far there have been 25 regular vacancies in the navy since July 1 last, and one more is to be made by a retirement this month, so that if there are no eag- ualtien it will be necessary to select 14 officers in the !ine above the rank of Neutenant, junior grade. The law provides that officers in the grades of captain, commander and Neutenant commander may, by offi- cial appiication to the secretary, have thelr names placed on a list known as applic for voluntary retirement, and if at the end of the fiscal year there are not 40 vacan- the president, in the order of ran) f the applicants, may place a sufficient number on the retired list, with the rank-and three- fourths pay of their next higher grade. There is no indication so far, however, that many applications will be made for this yoluntary re- tirement list, and the compuisory t- tirement feature of the new law tr expected to cause trouble and result in “protests from those the board may decide to retire. ‘The examination of Officers who were promoted under the law has already commenced at the navy de- partment. There arg over 20 off- pers of the line and former engineer corps to be examined before their commissions are made out. One interesting result of the re- tirement feature of the law ts that officers who served in the civil war and who now hold the rank of cap- tain may be retired with the rank of rear admiral, In the case of all oth- er officers of the rank of captain 18 is provided that “the next higher grade” shall be that of commodore, abandoned for officers on the retir- ed list, but retained to be conferred upon retiring captains. ‘The retired pay of a rear admiral amounts to more than that of a captain on the active lat, so that It will be to the advantage of every captain who did service in the civil war to apply for retirement at once, so as to gain an increase of pay without the necess- ity of doing any service to earn it The New Army Law. WASHINGTON, March 17.—Ac- cording to the latest official Interr” tation of the new army law all v.. unteers, officers and men now in the service, enlisted under the law of April last, may be retained in the service until peace with Spain is formally proclaimed, whether or not the 25,000 additional volunteers au- thorized by the new law are enlist. ed.
