PAYMAsTER's REPORT.
Amount OF Money Paid to the Army,
Regular and Volunteer, During
the Year Ending June 30.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Paymaster
Gen. Bates reports to the secretary
of war that during the year ending
June 30, 1900, he has paid to the
army, regular and volunteers, $780,
656,600; on the emergency fund to
disband the Cuban army, $1,642,65O.
Several minor recommendations
concerning the pay OF the army are
contained in this report.
A comparison of the expenditures
of tie last fiscal year with those of
the fiscal year of 1899 shows a net
decrease of $50, 1882, 147. The mileage
provisions under the act of May last
have applied satisfactorily to the
army, with the single exception of
what are known as agreement
roads" reductions.
The expense, hire and labor lnvolv-
ed in the multiplicity of time and
distance tables required under the
ever changing conditions of the rail
roads making these deductions is
found to offset completely any saw
ing to the government through their
use IN the transportation of troops
and supplies. Gen. Bates, therefore,
recommends that this clause be
stricken out of the mileage provis-
ions.
The paymaster general calls par.
ticuiar attention to the 10 and 20 pei
cent. extra pay allowance provided by
congress for the troops serving in the
island possessions and Alaska, which
unfortunately deprives the troops
serving in China from a share of this
bonus, the disturbances in the Chi
nese empire not having assumed a
threatening aspect when this law was
passed, in the latter part of May. He
recommends that the extra allowance
be extended to officers and men serv-
ing in all countries beyond the linn
it's of the United States.
