fort of Secretary Alger is practically
complete official history of the Spanish
American war. The secretary has given
to the public not only all the official dis.
patches that passed directly between his
own office and commanding officers in
the field and camp, but has supple
me1lted these with short explanatory
notes setting forth the reasons for
various movements, and then, to COM
plcto the record Of events, he has in.
Guided in the body of his report the
rel..lJ OF General Miles, of all the gen.
erals who participated in the campaign
in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip.
pines, and. finally, the. reports of all OF
the bureau officers OF the war depart
ment. Nowhere is there shown a dis
position to criticize, the official dis.
patches being
Allowed to Tell Their Own Story,
and, generally, the secretary finds much
to praise and also cause tor sincere con.
graduation in the results obtained.
The report proper begins with what
may be described as a chronological his
tory of the war, consisting OF u number
of short paragraphs, beginning with the
declaration OF war on April ~, and set
ting forth the date upon which any
event Of importance occurred, but MAX.
ing no comment whatever upon the
facts. The only exception to this rule
is in reference to the casualties at Santi-
ago. Some criticism having been made
that there was lack of surgeons pres
ent, the report states that there were
140 surgeons in attendance and that of
1,43l wounded only 13 died of thei1
wounds. 20 r"''F
