WASHINGTON, May 25.-The War de-
partment gave open expression to the salts
faction with which it receives the state
ments of Major General Macarthur cen
tanned in his report just made public, so far
as they relate to the food supplies of the
American troops in the Philippines Secre-
tary Alger has already, acting at the in
stance Of the president, given special in
structions to General Otis to cause care
full inquiry to be made by competent board
OF experts into the sufficiency of the pres
ent army ration for the wants of the Amer
leans in the Philippines, realizing that the
climatic conditions there might warrant
considerable changes in the established food
supplies. But meanwhile, both the presi-
dent and the secretary of war are gratified
to learn from Major General Macarthur
that the army is abundantly supplied with
the best Australian beef and with the choic-
est of American vegetables in good guam
tity.
The Glacier, which sailed today from Fort
Monroe for Gibraltar, Is making an expert
ment in food supply that is being watched
with interest. 1t carries 100000 pounds OF
fresh beef in its refrigerators for the sail
ors and troops at Manila, and If this can
be kept in good condition for the sixty days
required for the passage there will be an
opportunity to make comparison between
the Australian beef with what the Ameri-
cans have so far been supplied.

til February Is. Colonel Funston confines
himself generally to rather dry statement
OF the daily events of that period.
Touching the fight at Caloocan. he says
that his outposts were fred upon at 10
O'Clock at night by insurgent patrols. This
had followed other attacks. so the general
alarm was given and the Kansas men ad-
vanced, assisted by part OF the Utah battery.
During the day Major Whitman was taken
the date of the report. Being distant from
the insurgent trenches and barricsdes only
about $500 yards, the fire from them was so
calling that an advance was imperative,
NSays Colonel Funston: II ordered a charge
up the road and through the gardens and
bamboo thiekets that fanked 1t. This
charge. which | led in person, was most
