ARRArcNs THE ARTmLEnY.
Gen. Wesley Merritt Reports There
Is SOmething Radically wrong.

Washington. Oct. lS.-The annual report
of Maj. Gen. Wesley Merritt. commanding
the Department of the East. headquarters
al Governors Island. N. y. was made pup
lie at the war department to-day. The
report is a strong arralgnmeut of the whole
situation in the artillery branch OF the
service beng particularly directed against
the ordnance bureau ana incidentally the
quartermaster's department the latter for
failure to furnish what Gen. Merritt con-
siders proper quarters az artillery posts.
Gen. Merritt says that the system on
which the artillery is organized is wrong
in that the artilleryman, who is held re-
spousble for the work he has to do with
his guns, has no voice in the making or
selection of them, this being left entirely
to the ordnance bureau. But he adds that
since the engineer department, in the same
Independent way, furnishes the artillery
man with his emplacements, and there has
been no fault to find with this portion
Of the equipment, there must be something
more than the mere system TO blame for
the unsatisfactory condition OF affairs.
