Show President Roosevelt Will Be Breveted for Bravery. The army board, which has been for several months preparing a list of officers of-ficers who shall be recommended for brevet rank in consideration of gallant services in Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines Philip-pines and China, has completed its work, and the report will be submitted to the Secretary of War in a day or two. This list is to take the place of that laid before the senate last session and withdraw before action. Notwithstanding Notwith-standing that this board began with the purpose of very much restricting the bestowal of brevets, they have been unable to keep the sum total of names much below one thousand in number. It is said that President Roosevelt's name will be on the brevet list with the rank of brigadier-general of volunteers. |
