Sax Fraxnsco, Aug. ?a.—Herause lieutenant Colonel little wrote to Governor Keedy recommending certain promotions in the Twentieth Kansas regiment lie may he court-martialed for insubordination. It has long been known in the eniiip there was ill feel ing between Colonel Funston and lieutenant Colonel little Itsgrowth has been watched with increasing in terest from day today and lately there have been many predictions of an open rupture. It came last night. Colonel Funston then made a discovery that made liis Idood boll, lie lets laid the matter beforeGinert 1 Miller and there Is every prospect that Colonel little will have to answer t. > serious charges lie fore a court martial. Since last June, when Colonel Fun ston took command of the regiment, strained relations have existed be tween the colonel and his subordinate, who, before lii-s arrival, had been in command. little knew nothing about the dis cipline or drilling of a regiment, and as a consequence his superior officer had a difficult tusk upon his arrival in bringing the Twentieth Kansas to good order. During the last two months quarrels have bean frequent between til's two, more particularly since the regiment's recent removal from Camp Merritt to the 1’rcsidio. At one time it was rumored that I.ittlo rt ti a tu ii.- i 11/ ii ii^ ii. “No, this is not the first nor tlie second time Little and I have fallen out," said Colonel Funston. “We have not agreed upon any one thing since we have beeu together in the regi ment. There is no use, however, of discussing our past relations. I am concerned only abo.it the present dif ficulty. “On tlie 17th of this month I sent recommendations for three appoint ments to my regiment to (lovernor Lcedy. Second Lieutenant A. C. Al ford 1 recoin mended for iv first lieu tenancy, an 1 Sergeant Major I\ K. Dodge and Sergeant C. II. ii.ill for sec ond lieutenancies. < olouel Little sent by tiiat same mail, without informing me of his action, his recommendations for two other m -n for the first lieuten ancy and one for tho second lieuten ancies. No, I don t. care to give their names; they wore good men, too, r.nd not responsible for Colonel Littles error, lie agreed with me in recom mending Sergeant llall for the other appoint ment. “I received the acknowledgment of my recommendation t from (.lovernor Iweily's secretary this afternoon. The governor was not in town, hut h s s»c retnry wrote that the papers would be presented to bis notice immediately upon his arrival. Little's recommend ations must undoubtedly have readied homo as soon as mine. They may pre vail with tlie governor over mine. Lit tle was tlie governor's private secre tary when the war broke out and of course lias n political pull, while I have none. “If his recommendations do prevail and officers are put in here over my head, this regiment is going to witness all the changes of a tropical climate — but tiiut isn't the atory. It was only yesterday that I learned of Little s ac tion, and you may imagine how i took the news. Unluckily, or, perhaps, luckily, I eou'd not find Colonel Lit tle. I fancy something very unpleas ant would have recurred in view of tho frame of mind 1 ivas in then. “Kast night I asked him if my in formation ns to his unwarrantable notion was correct, lie replied in tiio affirmative. I aslce 1 him if he thought that he hud military precedent for a subordinate's sending in such recom mendations. He replied •No,' but con sidered that lie had done perfectly right, nevertheless. Then I told him that Ills conduct was to the prejudice of military discipline and that I in tended to place him under arrest for insubordination, lie did not relish the ide i. “Kittle is p-eudsnt of the court martial now slttiug in the Thomas af fair. and 1 did not wish to inconven ience its workings and :.o did not carry out my threat.
