self with the Work.
Washington, August 1S.-Secretary Root
is beginning TO get a firm grasp on the
administration of the war department At
the outset MIR. Root set about familiarlz-
ing himself with the more important de-
tails of the department Each bureau Of
flee submitted a succinct tabular state
ment of the information wanted by the
secretary and this was supplemented by
personal talk.
The officials at Manila and Havana have
been consulted by cable whenever it has
been necessary to add to the information
at hand here. In this way Mr.. Root has
speedily brought himself into touch with
every branch of the military service and
has gathered a most complete and analysed
resume OF military affairs.
While getting into the administrative
machinery Mr. Root has at the same time
made careful Inquiry into the military
situation in the field. 1t Is probably the
most important part of his duties to keep
In touch with and direct the military
operations in the Philippines. While going
over the military phases of the work the
secretary has conferred with the COM
handing general, General Miles, and with
General Merritt, who is second In COM
mand, on the military problems.
Concerning Cuba and Porto Rico the
detailed administration OF their affairs,
with its multitude OF minor Issues is being
left largely with his assistants and chiets
and he is concerning himself with the
larger questions of reconstruction and flu
ture Of these Islands and with the sub
stitution of orderly civil government for
the military regime now in force Mr.
Root has little time for the crowd, as re
Is laborlous and methndical worker His
cabinet associates speak of his calm and
deliberate manner In most compli-
