The annual report for 1899 of the
major general commanding the army
has just been issued in bound form,
and is in great demand. Volume 3
of this report deals exclusively with
the movements of the volunteer army
in the Philippines during last year, and
contains hundreds OF references to
each of the regiments which saw SER
vice there. Every officer and enlisted
mar who went across, the sea to serve
his country in the Philippine war will
want a copy of TINS report, for it is
the: only n giving official reports of
general officers covering the work of
the different regiments. These re-
ports set out in detail the various gall
liant exploits of the troops from the
Dakotas, Montana, Iowa and Mime
nesota, and already from these states
hundreds of requests for, the report
have come in, but, of course, they
cannot be granted because of the
smallness of the first edition. Before
another edition can be printed, con
gress must give the order. It is ex-,
pected that an extra edition will have
to be issued.

a Little Excitement.

Fire originating in a. shed back Of
the residence of Director Bronson of

extinguished the flames, and the
