Quite a numbet of those who do
not wish to see General Miles in
command of the army’ are trying
to convey the impression that Gen.
Ruger will be given the place. It is
almost unnecessary to remark that
General Miles is not a man that
will submit to being sat upon
without good and sufficient reason.
Major Harbach of the Eigh-
teenth infantry has been detailed

and as fire marshal at the post.

Captain Lloyde 18th infantry is
now third on the list for promo-

Some of the matter in the army

literary conundrums that appear
therein from time to time.
There was an applicant for en-
listment at the post this morning.

A Small Way.
Because of the Light’s opposi-
tion to the county courthouse office-
holders’ ring some of the officials
who are in the dilapidated old
building on Soledad street on
whom a good deal of official busi-
ness devolves and who in are a posi-
tion to accommodate reporters with
legitimate public news seem to be
trying to “play even” by boycot-
ting the Light man and with-
holding the news he has a right to
expect from them. Such littleness
on their part is contemptible and
unworthy of the trust they repre-
sent.
