Concerning mobilization, the report states
that 80 per cent of the First regiment can

be concentrated at five hours notice.
The Second regiment would need ten

trated at Kansas City within three hours, and
IS per cent in five hours. The Fourth regf-
ment requires 12 hours to concentrate at
Brookfeid, 80 per cent. to be depended upon.

As to armament, the report states that it is
generally in poor condition, although it is evil
dent that the several commands have attempt
ed to take care of their arms. AS to the ar
tillery. the carriages are old, prolonge ropes
rotton, chains rusted, and neither the
guns, carriages caisSons have been
painted for months. 1t is doubtful il

cradle amount of firing with solid shot There
are few rifles in the infantry army in good con-
dition, most Of the guns being very rusty, and
Is per cent. are unserviceable. The cavalry
has no equipment, and the artillerys equip
ment is in very bad condition, especially the
harness. The equipments of the infantry are
in good condition, but show no indication of
especial care.
