GEN. ALGER ANSWERS CRITICISMS
SOLDIERS SUPPLIED WITH THE BEST pos
sIBLE RATIONs AND CLOTHING

ElBLE kAIlONS AND 0l'Jl fflN'J
Washington. June 2s- Secretary Ayers at
tention was directed to-day 10 a published in
terview In which Governor Pngree Of Michigan
critlcises the pork furnished TO the troops and
the heavy and unreasonable clothing they
Obliged 70 wear. The Secretary said he
surprised to hear such statements attributed
70 the Governor. as the latter was AT the War
Department not long ago and spoke encourag-
ingly concerning the troops, except that he in
sisted there should be regimental hospitals. As
70 these hospitals the Secretary said ne had
left that subject with the Surgeon-General Of
the Army whose Judgment is relied upon In
matters relating 10 the medical and surgical
branches Of the service.
Concerning criticisms on unreasonable cloth
ing. Secretary Alger says light summer clothing
Is being made as fast possible, and an aux
Hilary cruiser will take to Santiago a sufficient
supply FOR all the troops now operating there
He expects 70 have the entire Army clothed in
these summer suits at an early date.
Concerning the pork ration. the Secretary says
the Army ration is based on the suggestion OF
the Commissary Department. which has reached
its conclusion from the experience OF the civil
War. These rations are seven days fresh meat,
two Of bacon and one OF pork, cut OF every ten
days THIS has Deen recently fihIlseu ~ ~'A
DAYS OF fresh meat and one Of salmon. A days
ration Of fresh meat Is one and one-QUarter
hounds. and OF salt meat three-scurths Of
pound Soldiers usually spread their supply Of
fresh meat over the entire ration period. and
take A little salt meat desired. II IS entirely
within the discretion OF the commanding officer
10 make the ration entirely of fresh meat i the
special service in which the troops are engaged
makes fresh meat mora suitable for them than
salt meat
Secretary Ager points out that TINS arrange
rncnt is based on long experience. He says ne
would not have noticed the Interview except
that Il was likely 10 convey an erroneous m
preston 10 the public concerning the care WIN
which the soldiers are being clothed apd fed.
The Secretary expressed the greatest sohcitUde
for the welfare Of the troops and his deter
rninaticn to get them the very best food cloth
ing and supplies which can be secured.
