The provision

A general power of attorney is revoked by a special one granted to another agent, as regards the special matter involved in the latter. (n)

Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms

When a principal who has given a general power of attorney later grants a special power over a particular matter to a different agent, the earlier general power is revoked as to that specific matter. The first agent loses authority over that item, while the general power continues to operate for everything else.
