neht today made public the report OF Ma
3or General william r. shafter. COM
manding the departments OF California
and OF the Columbia. The department Of
California, General shafter says required
very little attention. owing to the small
number Of troops quartered The bulk OF
the work IN this department pertained en-
tirely 20 the transmission OF stores and
the shipment of men TO the Philippines,
and taking care Of those returning from
there
General shafter says that the men In
the recruiting company have been sys-
tematicaily and thoroughly Instructed IN
their various duties. with especial aften-
ton TO target practice. They have shown
themselves Industrious and anxious to
perfect themselves IN the use OF their
weapons. He further says,
There can be no doubt OF the wisdom
Of establishing this camp and giving to
recruits a preliminary course OF lnstruc-
tion here. Another advantage In keep
