partment has been satisfactory The rations
furnished troops have been mainly good in
quality and OF ample quantity. The refrigsr-
ated beef furnished from the United States has
been quite satisfactory-much more 40 than
that slaughtered here. This is largely due to
the fact that cattle shipped here are slaugh-
tered before they are In proper condition.

to the inefflciency OF the coast artillery ana
crlticises tho work OF the supply departments
upon which the artillery lie dependent he
refers to the severe criticisms OF the Quarter
master and Ordnance departmental the report
OF Major story. which he transmits. and says:
II have no specific recommendations to
make regarding any one place. l know the
officers to be intelligent, industrious and zeal
GUS In their efforts to improve the efficiency OF
their commands. That the coast artillery Is
not to day In an efficient condition Is due to
causes over which artillery officers have no
control nor can these impedIments be reached
by the Department Commander. Some require
action OF the Secretary OF War. and others can
be remedied only by Congress.
II desire TO call especial attention to the
following points in the report OF the Artillery
Inspector:
THE failure OF the Quartermaster's Depart
ment to make the timely provision for housing
the garrsons at new artillery posts
THE necessity for providing. at artillery
posts a permanent post commissioned
STAFF Of specialists. namely. electrician and
observer sergeants
THE recommen dation that the strength OF
coast artillery should be fixed at the number
OF officers and men required to man the guns.

be inspected by artillery officers; and the fact
that the Department Commanders Artillery
Inspector has no power to inspect. 10 patent
