DEPARTMENT OF THE PLATTE
GENERAL CROOKS FINAL REPORT AND RECoMMEN
DATIONS.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-General Crook, pre-
viou to leaving the Department OF the Platte for Ar
zona made report covering the past year which is of
some interest on account recommendations it
tains. 1t is in part follows,
The smaness of the force left here and the expense
attending maintenance Of garrsons scattered over
vast area induce TO recommend concentration OF
troops at eligible points upon hoine Of the railroad at
which they can be supplied at minimum OF cost and
from which moments of threatened danger they can
be moved to exposed localities with greatest ceery and
effect The positions deemed best suited at this time for
large garrs0ns Omaha and Sidney, Neb. Cheyenne,
Wv T and Fort Douglas Utah. All that we can expect
to do with present meagre military establishment Is
to leave at extreme frontier posts garrsOns large enough
guard supplies hold their own until reinforce
mens can 10 fastened forward from the reserve posts
II any other plan be adopted we cannot hope
TO keep the Indians I'm sutJectfon or TO afford
proper protection 10 tho nunberess small communities
sprnng up in every drection-eaeh feeling itself en-
titled to the assistance OF fort or oantOnInent .
The wonderful Improvement IN craftsmanship made by
troops of THIS department since my last annual re-
port a gratifying proof OF the interest taken in this
important subject by officers and and of the zeal
and ability Of Che Instructor Lieutenant W. L. Carpenter,
9th Infantry who abored unringy In the perform
ance OF duties deyoving upon him. The three com
panes showing highest proficiency are those com
mauded by Captains Lee, Hay and Munson, all OF 9th

rovnoS. Sent 2.-The rapid movement from Is
MALTA to Kassasn has outrun the transport SorNioo
ouce more. and shown that the transport continues
,oho tho weak point of the English. In two To-
snscts the critics seriously blame Sir Garnet VOL
seley; first. because, though knowing Araors eroa'
strength In artillery he refrained from taxing inoio
than four or five guns into action. Con'ihen'"i
opinion condemns General Woseley for negiectihg

,,u,n, 70 hiring off the captured guns from Kas-
sosin The heavy cavalry made brilliant and sue

of the chase after the flying Egyptians ana per
p,itted the enemy to withdraw twelve can"on
whose cunners the English had sabred' Military
on,nion regards this as ludlcrous oversight. Cen
eral Wolseley is evidently now gathering hili'oii
torether for forward move next week, when he
vill have $4,000 soldiers aud thirty guns at the
front.
Bv a strange oversight balloons were omitted, but
NOW they have been sent for from lsnailia and
