Washington, Nov. "a recapitula-
ton OF the casualties in action and

of the adjutant general of the army,

whom thirty five officers and 45s en-
listed men were killed and 1871 officers

OF the criticisms on the STAN organl-
zatiOn OF the army, Gen. COrbln says:
THE suggestions that our star officers
are not experienced In the duties OF line
officers is not borne out by facts
The report dwells on the courtesies
shown our troops by the British govern
ment officials while stopping at Gibral-
tar and elsewhere en- route to the Phil
.ippines. and says this international
courtesy will long live in the memories
of both parties to the spontaneous ex-
change.
The report speaks OF the unsatisfac-
tory conditions In Hawaii, In relation to
land for military uses.
A recommendation is made that mil
itary officers serving abroad as Military
attaches be given incseasad rank and
pay, and that the president be author
lied to appoint ten cadets annually,
and that two be appointed at large
from each state.
Recommendation Is made that non
commissioned officers be given addi-
tional pay, In order to attract to those
places q worthy class willing to stay In
those grades, and that twenty-five
years service as an enlisted man shall
be sufficient to admit to the retired list
enlisted men.
The condition of the artillery service.
especially on the seacoast the report
describes as not altogether satisfactory.
1t is recommended that the regimental
organization of the artillery be provid-
ed for. separate and distinct f.sSrn each
other.
The report calls attention to the fact
that not single life has been lost by
accident, incident to travel. in the
course OF all the transportation to the
Philippines.
In conclusion, Gen. Corbin points out
an omission of the law in falling to pro-
vide chaplains for the volunteer regi-
ments, and recommends that chaplains
be provided for as soon as possible, as
the presence of one with each regiment
I! is deemed very necessary.

ALLISON ON PHILIPPINES.
President is Doing Exactly Right I'm
der Authority of Congress.

New York, Nov. 2.-Senator Allison,
of Iowa, discussing matters in the
Philippines in the Forthcoming issue of
the Independent, will say:
Il does not seem to me that there can
be two sides to the question of what is
our present duty in the Philippines. BY
our treaty with Spain and With the ex-
change of notifications of the treaty
these islands become ours. Our title to
them is clear and unquestionable under
our constitution and under the law and
|usages of nations. The insurrection
there against our authority began after
the treaty was signed at Paris and con-
tinues at this time. Our duty requires
US to suppress this instruction and
establish peace and order there. This
l understand the president is endeavor
ing to do through the means given to
him by congress before the close of the
last session, through the army bill,
which provided for 100. 900 men tempo-
rarily, with the understanding of all
parties that this army would be used so
far as necessary to suppress this insur-.
rection. This duty was imposed upon
the president, not by partisan major
lity, but practically with unanimity by
all parties in congress, and u failure on
his part to use this power to restore
order there would subject him to the
| severest censure of congress and the
American people
! With the restoration of peace and or
| der there I take it for granted that
congress will provide Il government for
| the people of the islands in the spirit of
i liberty and justice and with the view to
Their highest possible civilization.
| Heretofore when possessions have been
acquired by the United States, congress
! has dealt with the people residing in
! those territories in the spirit Of liberty
and Justice which prevails in our con-
Istitution ard in our laws, and have
no reason TO believe or even suspect
that future congresses Will rot make
such rules and regulations for these in
ihabitants as will provide for them the
4 Largest measure of liberty possible for
ticipation in a government consistent
with the situation there under our SOW
4ereignty and under our flag.
SO far as | can see. the only practi-
cal alternative To this is the abandon
ment of the islands, the Withdrawal OF
our troops and the withdrawal of our
navy as we'll The president has nc
i power TO direct this, as he can no,
ALLEVIATE the territory acquired. Con-
gress can do so by law, and will soot
be in session. and those who think VIZ
should surrender what We have gained
, there and withdraw our army anc
. navy Will have the opportunity of test
ling the sense of congress by offerins
propositions TO that end.

GENERAL conBIN's REPORT.
suggests Changes Calculated to In
crease EXPENSE of tho Army.

crease Expense of tho Army.
Washington. Nov. 2.-The annual re-
port of Adj. Gen. Corbin has been made
public. Aside from the strictly techni-
cal recital OF all the details of busy
year in military life, the report gives
much information of an interesting
general character and submits numer-
Gus recommendations for the better,
ment of the service.
Gen. Corbin sums up the military
forces in in the service of the United
States as follows:
Regular army. 1856; volunteers, b.
574: total, SO. 100.
The distribution of these troops up to
Oct. / was as follows:
In the United States, 1920 Porto
Rico, 1858; Cuba, 11.1S7: Philippines,
s2.315: en- route to Philippines. 1909;
Alaska, 400; Hawaiian islands. 466.
1t is expected that by Dec. next all
| the infantry regiments of United States
! volunteers will have sailed for the Phil
/, ippine islands. These, with the troops
now there, will give a total strength of
2ll7 officers and $500 enlisted men Gan
! aggregate of 65,125).
/ The service of many of the troops af-
ter their enlistments had expired
caused Gen. Corbin to recommend that
each officer of the several volunteer
| organizations and each enlisted man
| who continued in service in the Philip
! pines after the second of March, 1899.
until honorably discharged, be awarded
a suitably inscribed medal"
/ AS TO the newly organized regiments
he says:
lit is not too much to say that bet
ter volunteer regiments have never
/ been organized.
\ Gen. Corbin also pays tribute to the
4 officers of the new colored regiments
land says it is believed the best equip
ped men of our colored citizens have
been commissioned.
During the year there have been G.,
his enlistments and establishments, o1
which 53,024 We're natiye-born and 9.l51
foreign born.
d The following recommendation is
made for extra pay for officers serving
in our new possessions:
The pay of all officers below ths
grade of brigadier general should b,
Increased at least SO 1-3 per cent Will,
on duty in Cuba or our new posses
Isions Also that provision be made tina

5 their retirement
