der the terms of the protocol preliminary to
the conclusion of peace. The second period

the Filipino attack on the United States
forces up to the close of active prepara-
tions on account of the rainy season.

Owing to the additional and extraordi-
nary expense placed on officers while in tho
Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico and sle
Hawaiian islands, it is recommended that
they be allowed the same percentage Of in
crease of pay that is now provided by law
for the enlisted men,
1T is also recommended that officers of
the army with a creditable record who
served during the civil war shall be granted
the same consideration concerning rank and

March 3, 1899.

Enemy and Have Never
Met with Defeat.

! WASHINGTON Nov. 1.-THE annual re-
port Ct Major General Nelson A. Miles, COM
manding the army, was made public at the
| War department today. 1t bears date Oc-
tober II, 1899. and is extremely brief and
formal in character. 1t announces the
transmission to the secretary OF war OF the
reports of the department and staff COM
manders and makes a brief statement of the
strength and distribution Of the army, in
Guiding the musterout of the volunteer
regiments, most of the details of which have
been already published in the reports OF
the adjutant general.
The report concludes with the following
general statement:
'The demand for troops for foreign service
has been unusual and has been somewhat
severe upon them, especially those of the
regular army Within the last eighteen
months several regiments have been re-
ouired to leave their stations in the extreme
north, move to the islands OF the West In
dies, there engage in campaign in summer,
return to northern stations in autumn and
winter and then move to tropical islands in
the Pacific, and engage in campaigning un-
der the most difficult circumstances Yet.
under all circumstances and at all times the
utmost loyalty, fortitude and faithful per-
formance of duty have been manifested on
the part of the troops. In nearly all engage
ments where the troops have been brought
into contact with the enemy they have in
variably acted on the offensive and in not
single instance have they suffered defeat.
The intelligence, discipline and fidelity Of
both officers and men have been commenda-
Bile.

| sons fleet.
When Acting Secretary Allen reached the
| Navy department this morning he COM
municated with the White House, and then
by direction Of the president went over at
once carrying a chart of northern Luzon
and the cablegram from Watson. Admiral
| Watson appears to have acted at once upon
| receipt of news, for he informed the Navy
department that he had cabled across to
Hong Kong to secure the help of expert
| enced wreckers to proceed at once to the
| scene of the accident. The Navy depart
ment has already a constructor on the
ground in the person Of Lieutenant Hobson,
who may be called on to assume charge of
the wrecking operations.
careful reading of the cablegram from
Admiral Watson convinces the officials that
there is a fair chance of saving the Charles
ton. They say that the name Of the ship
Is painted about three or four feet below
the rail. This Is an indication that the
main deck is above water, which would
make the work of pumping out the hull
much easier. II 1t is settled down aft, as
reported, there is less danger of iniuring
the bottom further by pounding. Much de-
pends, however on the weather, as the
wreck lies in the full sweep OF the mon
soons, which prevail at this season.
not the slightest apprehension exists. The
Helena must already have reached the island,
which Is about days run from Lingayen,
and with the Oregon which followed closely,
must have removed the Charlestons crew
several days ago.
AS soon as possible court of inquiry will
be called to fix the responsibility for the
wrecking of the ship This will follow, ire
spective of any action of the Navy depart
ment and will be ordered by Admiral Wat
son. Should 1t appear that the wreck was
caused by the negligence OF any of the
Charleston's officers, a court martial will
follow the inquiry, but in view OF the ex-
ceedingly dangerous character of the north
coast of Luzon and the lack OF necessary
aids to navigation II is not believed to be
probable that any of the officers will be
found severely censurable.

fects, and of the dangerous attacks of
