tion of three new offices, a general and
two lieutenant generals of the army in
accordance with the practice of modern
military nations). is disclosed in the fol-
lowing letter:
Headquarters of the Army,
Washington, ID. c., Dec. ., 1893.
THE Honorable:
THE Secretary of War:
Sir: | have the honor to submit
herewith the draft of bill for the re-
organization of the United States army,
based on a strength of one soldier to
1000 of the population of the United
States and two soldiers to 1000 of the
population in the dependent colonies
approximately 100000 men.
My recommendations are for what
believe to he the hest interests of the
Government, not only at present, but,
as far rs we are able to see, for the
future. The recommendations have been
made regardless of amy personal consi,i
Grafton of any officer or soldier now CON
nected with the military service.
THE proportion of artillery. cavalry
and infantry is III accordance with the
immediate necessities of the United
States. We have 1000 miles of coast.
with - principal harbors. where are
located millions Of people and property
Of almost inestimable value. That they
should properly be defended is demand
cd by every consideration of prudence
and good administration. In addition to
this we have the important harbors in
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines to
defend, requiring large force of artil-
lery
The organization recommended is such
as to give rank in proportion to the i'm
portant duties andk great responsibilities
required of the different officers in our
service and is similar to the organiza-
tior which has been found most efficient
in the armies of all other civilized ma
tions, and also to that which was found
to be most effective in the Confederate
army between thc-ryears 1S61-'65. A
similar organization has been recon-
mended by General Sherman and Lieu
tenant General Scofield.
Il earnestly recommend favorable con-
slderation of the organization as pre-
sented.
Very respectfully.
