[rniitoMw ' Nelson A. Miles Has Been Selected For Promotion to That Position. ► HE IS NOT A WEST POINTER. Interview With the Geuerel—Secretary Lamont Has Notified Him That He Will Be Appointed—Rumors About General Ruifer's Promotion Were Unfounded —Coming Commander’s Record. New York, Sept. 30.—There is no longer a doubt that Major General Nelson A. Miles is to succeed Lieutenant General Schofield in the office of com-mander-iirchief of the United States army. General Miles made a statement of the fact last night saying that he was informed of President Cleveland’s determination to appoint him on Friday last by Secretary of War Lamont, whom he met in this city by special appointment at the Metropolitan club. General Schofield retired from active service at noon yesterday, and it is said that the appointment of General Miles 1 I 'fj : ■ •.’5 general miles. will be announced soon. The general will go to Washington in a few days to assume the duties of his high position. This announcement will set at rest i the rumors which have agitated army circles during the past year concerning General Schofield’s probable successor. While General Miles was the senior major general of the army and one of the most popular personally with his subordinates, it was reported that he was, for some reason, persona nongrata to the president, and that the fact that he had no diploma from West Point might weigh against his chances. General Ruger was the principal rival for the appointment mentioned.. ' There was also an impression in some quarters that the office of general of the LIEUTENANT GENERAL SCHOFIELD, army might be left vacant for some time as there is no requirement of law for such position and as there are precedents for leaving it unfilled. Only once since the army was organized in 1789, however, has the president failed to appoint the senior general to the command of the army. When General Miles was seen by a reporter last night at his liiiadquarters on Governor’s island he spoke freely of his appointment. “My informant,” said the general, “was Secretary Lamont, whom I met by special appointment at the Metropolitan club in New York last Friday. Naturally, I was much gratified. In a sense, however, I my appointment is not a promotion, as ! the grade of lieutenant general became 1 extinct with the retirement of General Schofield. I will enter upon my new duties with as little delay as possible; in fact as soon as the secretary of war issues the order announcing my succession. In leaving here 1 will da so with many regrets.” * The general would make no direct reply to the question whether lie thought the grade of lieutenant general might be revived by congress in his case as in that of General Schofield. The rank of lieutenant general expired with General Schofield’s retirement, and it is a grade only created by special acts of congress in recognition of distinguished services. It has been bestowed six generals —Washington, Scott, Graitt, Sherman, Sheridan and Schofield. Gencßal Miles is a native of Massachusetts,’ having been born in Westminster Aug. 8, 1839. In 1861 he joined th’e Twenty-second -Massachusetts volunteers and served throughout the rebellion with great distinction. He disi tinguishwl himself early in his career in | the army of the Potomac, and took part in every ’engagement except one up to Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. His promotion was marked by somewhat exceptional rapidity, only about a year elapsing before he was made Lieutenant j Colonel of the Sixty-first New York in- ■ fantry and a month later, Sept. 30,1862, ! he was made a colonel of the same regiment.- In 1864 he attained the rank of brigadier general of volunteers, and early in the following year.obtained his commission as-major r geueral of volunteers. Secretary Lamont Say* Nothing, Washington, Sept. 30. — Secretary Lamont declined to make any state- ' ment regarding General Miles’ prospective appointment to succeed General ' Schofield as general of the army, but , his appointment is generally regarded as certain. 1* „

NANKIN THREATKNED: Fourteen Warships Will Make'a Demonstration Before That City. ENGLAND MEANS BUSINESS, Rleh Chine*. Merchant* Flocking Into Shanghai For Safety—The Viceroy of the Threatened City Also Seek* Safety. Fall of the Mauohu Dynnaty Predicted. Vigorous Meaaurea Advocated. . Shanghai, Sept. 80.—Updn the failare of thq entire Uompliauce of the central government with the British demands, it is understood that a fleet of 14 warships will make a demonstration before Nankin tomorrow or Wednesday. The British demand is that within 14 days an edict, must be issued degrading the viceroy of Sze Chuen, or otherwise the British admiral commanding will act. >• The wife and family and the treasure of the vicenry of Nankin have been brought to Shanghai for safety. Rich Chinese merchants are coming here from every side, seeking shelter. The British warships Rainbow, Swift, Plover, Spartan and Aeolus are at ports on the Yang Tse Kiang river. The Caroline, Undaunted, Edgar, Archer and Alacrity are at Woo Sung. The Daphne and Firebrand are at Shanghai. The British admiral is on board the Edgar. Chinese Dynasty Imperilled. London, Sept. 30. —The Standard says: The position of the Chinese government is extremely perilous. It has enough on its hands without a, quarrel* with England. It is too soon to say that the fall of the Mauchu dynasty is imminent, but the news of the spread of the Mohammetan insurrection is alarming. The British demands must be supported by the presence of our fleet in the Yang Tse Kiang, if not by the occupation of Nankin. We doubt if the Manchu dynasty could survive such a shock. Vigorous MeaMurea Advocated. London, Sept. 80. —The Tinies dwells upon China being a huge and inert mass, whose friendship is not worth cultivating by feeble concessions to her pretensions and pride. “What we want done,” The Times continues,'‘‘we must insist upon having done not by futile representations to Pekin, but by going to the spot in question and seeing it done ourselves.” . | PIRATE STO&Y. Survivors of the Wrecked Steamer Mariposa Kobhed by Buccaneers. Montreal, Sept. '3o.—The stories told by the shipwrecked crew of the steamship Mariposa, who were brought up from the Strait Belle Isle by the , steamship Austrian, reads more like the tales of piracy of a century ago than of a present day incident. A blinding snow storm was raging when the big Dominion liner struck on the ragged rocks of Point Arnsnr at 2 o’clock on the morning of Thursday, Sept. 24. The sa oon passengers were landed on the rocks as soon as practicable along with their baggage. The steamer had been aground but a few hours before a band of Belle Isle pirates made their appearance. They first paid their attention to the baggage of the saloon passengers, which they forcibly seized and. carried some distance inlandL. The cruiser Buzzard of the Newfoundland patrol service, however, fortunately happened along, and when acquainted with the situation, a party of blue jackets, fully armed; were landed and , started in pursuit. The pirates were | taken unawares enjoying themselves around a campfire. One swarthy fellow had donned the uniform of Captain Casgrain of the Royal Engineers, a young Canadian returning to rejoin his regiment. All the effects of the passengers were recovered and the pirates warned away. The Mariposa will be a total loss, but most of the live stock and considerable of her cargo will be saved. Back Broken Three Time*. Sept. 30. — James Stiles, a railroad employe, is in the hospital suffering with a dislocated back. His home is at Allentown, and within three months his back has been out of jqint three times. In June he fell and was completely paralyzed until the doctors reduced the fracture in his spinal column. Three weeks later he was sent home as cured. One day he fell from a lounge and his back was again dislocated. A month ago he left the hospital, threw away his crutches and went back to work. Saturday he tumbled down his cellar stairs and is again paralyzed with a broken back. The doctors think he may survive the shock and again recover. ” Keeley Cure Liquor License. Leavenworth, Kan., Sept. 30.—The United States internal revenue officials in this city have notice from the department in Washington to collect retail liquor license from the Keeley institution at the National Soldinva’ ’ Home at Fort Leavenworth.
