IN THE PHILIPPINES

Col. Gardener May Command a Regiment.

Washington, July 5.—Capt. Cornelius Gardener, late colonel of the 31st Michigan Volunteers, has been recommended to the president by Secretary Alger for appointment as colonel of one of the additional regiment about to be formed for the service in the Philippines. It will remain, however, for the president to determine whether Col. Gardener shall be given this opportunity to again wear a colonel's uniform, as the list submitted by the secretary contains more names than there are regiments in the department's schedule of additional volunteers.
