Little Active Work for the Army
During the Year,

The report of the secretary of war ex-
hibits satisfactory conditions in the severaI
branches of the public service intrusted to
his charge. TIL limit of our military
force, as fixed by law. is constantly and
readily maintained. The present disciplIne
ana morals OF our army are excellent, and
marked progress and efficiency are annar-
ent throughout its entire organization
with the exception of delicate duties In
the suppression Of slight Indian disturb-
ances along our southwestern boundary
IN winch the Mexican troops co-operate ted
and The compulsory but peaceful return
with the consent of Great Britain of n
oand OF Cree Indians from Montana tn
the British possessions, no active opera-
tIohs nave been required of the army dur
ing the year past.
Changes in the method of Administered, tim
the abandonment of unnecessary posts, and
the consequent concentration of troons
ana the exercise of care and vigilance nv
the various officers charged with tha re-
sponsibility in the expenditures of tbe an
preparations, have resulted in reducing RI
d minimum the cost of maintenance of
our military establishment.
During the past year the worl, NJ ~
structing permanent infantry and cavalry
posts mas been continued at places berh-
polore designated. The secretary of war
repeats his recommendation that annronria-
lions Tor barracks and quarters should
more strictly conform to the need of the
service, as judged by the department
rather than respond to the wishes and I'M,
p~ortunities of localities. 1t is Imperative
mat much Of the money provided for such
construction should now be allotted TO the
erection OF necessary quarters for the gar
rlsohs assigned to the coast defenses, where
many men Will be needed to properly care
aSr and operate modern guns. 1t is es-
sehsiai, 100, that early provision be made
to meet the demands of this service
