the refrigerated beef to Commanding:
General Miles in the early part Of August,
the army supplied with fresh beef and re.
quested the war department to send nc
more refrigerated beef. To this latter re.
quest no attention was paid.
He says: 1.-The commission soon after

their business was to protect the con.
tractors and destroy every one who called
attention to any Irregularities.
"They studiously refrained from calling
the common soldiers before them, who

Perhaps the most significant utter
ance in the whole document, so far as
concerns the discipline and efficiency
of the army, comes next:
For many years the divided au-
thority and responsibility i'm the war
department has produced friction, for
which, in the interest of the service,
remedy. if possible. should be an
piled. The constitution makes the
president the commander in chief of
the army. and he cannot transfer that
authority to amy other person. The
president selects his secretary of war,
who has his confidence, and who is his
confidential adviser. The command
ing general is assigned to duty as such
by the president, and under the mill
tary laws of the United States his du-
ties are defined as follows:
The command exercised by the
commanding general of the army, not
having been made the subject of stat
ntory regulation, is determined by the
order of assignment. 1t has been
habitually composed of the aggregate
of the several territorial commands
that have been or may be created by
the president.
The military establishment is I'M
der orders of the commanding general
OF the army in that which pertains to
it's discipline and military control.
The financial affairs of the army are
conducted by the secretary of war
through the several staff departments.
(Par 1877, A. r., 1889
"'All orders and instructions from
the president or secretary of war, re-
lating to military operations or affect.
ing the military control and discipline
of the army, will be promulgated
through the commanding general.
lPar. 1873, A. r. 1852
Lieutenant General Schofield. who
has probably had as much experience
and given the question as much
thought and study as any one in the
country. says in substance:
Recent experience has served to
confirm all the results of my lifelong
study and large experience. that the
proper position for the senior officer
OF the army ON duty at Washington
Is not that OF commanding general, a
position which is practically imposs:-
BILE, but that of general in chief, which
means in fact chief of staff to the
president. The title of general in
chief was permanent one during the
sntire history of the country up to the
time when General Grant became lieu
tenant general.
The president must have the same
power of selection of his general in
chief as he has of his secretary of war;
without this there can be no guaranty
I he will give, or that the secretary
of war will place in the general in
chief that confidence which is neces-
sary to perfect harmony. Neither the
president nor the secretary of war
should have in the command of the
army an officer who is not working in
harmony with him."

MILD CRITICISM OF ALeta.
Complete Grasp of the Situation
Lacking in War Department..

"COmplete Grasp of the Situation"
Lacking in War Department..
The report now takes up the war de-
partment and its various chiefs of sub
divisions, beginning with the secre-
tary of war:
The records of the war department,
which have been laid before us, show
that the secretary of war extended to
all chiefs of bureaus cordial and full
support, and promptly responded to
every proper demand made upon him
by commanding officers.
No testimony has been presented
showing intentional neglect of duty,
nor any attempt to serve personal in
terests. The charges made that the
secretary of war was pecuniarly inter-
ested in contracts, purchases and
other transactions of the war depart
ment have been thoroughly examined
and found baseless.
in the judgment of the commission
there was lacking in the general adj
ministration of the war department
during the continuance of the wax
with Spain that complete grasp of the
situation, which was essential to the
highest efficiency and discipline of the
army.
THE commission has refrained from
criticising certain of the heads of bu-
reaus for not having acted with fore
sign i'll preparing their various depart
ments for active war before war was
actually declared, because it has an
peared that the national defense fund
provided by the act CT March Q, 1898,
was not made available for use, except
for the navy and for coast defenses
and the expenditures incident thereto,
until after the declaration of war.

edge of the condition of the army
when the declaration of war was
made. 1T could not be surprised by the
inability of the departments to inn
mediately respond to the demands.
The economy of previous years, by
which nearly every article of equip.
ment not Immediately needed by the
army was disposed of, and no provis-
ions made for emergencies, rendered
immediate effective expansion of the
army impossible. In the organization
of the army for active duty provision
was made for eight corps, seven of
which were fully equipped and placed
in the field"
Inspector generals department.:
General j. c. Breckenridge, inspec-
tor general U. S. A., in charge.
THE commission find that the in
spector generals department was not
as efficient as it ought to have been.
There seems to have been question as
to the authority by which inspections
were to be ordered. On at least one,oc-
casion, May II, the secretary of war
instructed the major general COM
handing the army to inspect certain
camps, viz:
Those at Chickamauga, Atlanta.
New Orleans, Mobile, Tampa, Miami
and Key West.
THE major general did not act upon
such instructions, stating it to be his
place to order Inspections.
