the superintendent of the recruiting service,
New York City, to conduct recruits to the De-
partment of Arizona. On the completion of

Second Comptroller Gilkeson has decided
that the act of March 8, 1885, providing for
reimbursement to officers and enlisted men
for private property lost or destroyed in the
military service, does not permit the payment
of claims for horses and other property lost
by theft. He admits, however, that losses of
horses by officers and soldiers may occur under
circumstances that would make the Govern
ment liable for their value. He has also
directed that all claims now pending before
the accounting officers, of which the Secretary
of War has made no examination or certifica-
tion, be referred to him for examination, and
certifcation, and that in the future all such
claims be received, examined and certified to
him before they are submitted to the account
ing officers for action.
So much of the order directing Major
William j. Volkmar, assistant adiutant
general, to report to the commanding general
Department of Dakota for temporary duty as
assistant adJutant general OF the department
has been revoked, and he will report to the
commanding general Department OF the
Missouri for duty at the headquarters of that
department.
