COmmissary General Weston Answers the
Colorado Soldiers Statement Regard
ing High Prices Of Supplies

Washington, Sept. 1T.-COmmissary
General Weston says that the soldier
of the Colorado regiment who has
found 50 much TO criticise at Manila
evidently was misinfOrmed about the
exOrbitant prices which were being
paid for supplies in the Philippines.
Sugar IS bought about 20 per cent.
cheaper than IN the United States; rice
IS SO per cent. cheaper and a consider
able reduction is found IN the prices Of
beef purchased IN Australia and the
prevailing prices in Chicago. The gov
eminent saves transportation on these
articles As to other articles which
are part of the cOmmissary store
bought by the department and sold 70
the officers and men at cost price, Gen.
Weston says there is no possibility Of
loss to the government upon them
The cOmmissary department does not
purchase wines except for the hOspi-
tails These are bought upon the rec
OmmendatiOn Of the surgeons and the
money for them comes out Of the 40
cents a day allowed to each soldier in
the hospital.
