Show Promotion For Chaffee. The president has appointed Briga. dier general A. A. Chaffee, U. S. V., who is to command the American military mili-tary forces in China, a major general of volunteers, to make his rank commensurate com-mensurate with his command. Although Al-though General Miles recommended that Major General Bates, now in the Philippines, be assigned to the command com-mand of the troops in China, he Is well pleased with the promotion of General Chaffee. He named General Bates for the reason, mainly, that General Chaffee Chaf-fee held only the rank of brigadier general. |
