HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,

Washington. March -. 1899
The following decision has been made and is pub
hsned Tor the Information and guidance Of all

stan corps shall be detailed ordered to any duty
by any authority without the approval Of the
'aIy By Q. wa a A. aLGER sSsretary of War
H. c. CoRBIN. Adjuant General.
This order of Secretary Alger has been
issued to set at rest all questions as to who
Is the supreme authority in the war de-
partment. 1t is an old controversy, dating
back to the time when Jefferson Davis was
secretary of war, and General Scott COM
manding general of the army. The last time
the matter was brought prominently to the
attention of the country was during the I'D
ministration Of President Arthur, when
Secretary Lincoln wrote a very caustic
letter to Lieutenant General Sheridan stat
ing that the staff corps of the war depart
ment, with the exception of the adjutant
generals and the inspector generals corps,
were under the direct control and subject
only to orders by the secretary of war. The
order OF Secretary Alger will hereafter In
clude the chiefs OF these corps under the
sole control of the secretary. General Miles
has held to the construction based upon the
letter Of Secretary Lincoln. The cause for
the issuance Of the order was recent order
Of General Miles to Lieutenant Colonel
Darlington. acting chief of the inspector
generals corps. during the absence of Cen
eral Breckenridge. directing Darlington to
visit certain points in the West on an in
spection tour: The order of the secretary
did not refer to General Breckinridge's
present duty In Cuba, as he is acting under
orders issued by Secretary Alser.
