in the judgment Of the commission, the
imperative duty Of congress to assume

reluctance to this conclusion, and have

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The opera.

United States are fully set forth in the

ports of the officers in command of the
several geographical departments show
that the year has been tranquil and
undisturbed by Indian outbreaks, do.

prove the service has brought the troops
everywhere to q highly satisfactory con

spirit. The army is better fed, clothed
and housed than ever before, and the
policy zealously pursued of promoting
the personal comfort of the officers and
men has resulted in a devotion to the
service which is everywhere apparent.

The health record Of the army for the
year is the best annual statement ever
consolidated from the returns Of the
medical officers, for, while the death
rate is a fraction higher than the lowest
ever recorded, the other rates are by
far lower than they ever have been in
the history of our service. The death
rate from disease was 4.55, compared
with 3.95 in 1889, the lowest rate record
ed, and 5.64 the average for the last
decade.
Battalion Formation Is Recommended.
The secretary calls special attention
to the necessity for the adoption of the
three battalion formation in the army,
and recommends that congress enac
legislation to that end.
The report embraces very strong rec.
concentrations for the improvement Of
our sea-coast defenses, showing what
has been done in the way of improving
them and what should yet be done.
