 The annual report of Major Gen. Henry c. Corbin, adjutant general of the army, reviews the work, con- dition and needs of the military. Gen. Corbin submits table to show that the army in the Philippines is to be reduced by expired terms at the rate of about 2,000 month from now until June, 1902 The question whether the regiments thus depleted in strength are to remain so or to be recruited to their full roster, will receive his earliest at tention. It is already time to be- gin special recruiting he says. The losses from all causes in the regular army and the volunteers from July 1, 1900, to June 30, 1901, totaled 16,924 officers and men in the form CT, and 8,191 in the latter. The casualties to the troops in the Phil ippines since the date of the first ar rival, June 30, 1898, to June 30, 1901, were IF officers and 3,37S men killed, and 182' officers and g. 646 men wounded. Gen. Corbin recommends that cadets of each grad uating class be sent to Fort Monroe for target practice and instruction in seacoast gunnery. The general says it has been reported to him that retired army officers detailed at full pay as military instructors, in some instances do not even live at the colleges and only occasionally visit them. This state of affairs, he says, should be corrected. An equal ly important need of the service, Gen. Corbin says, is domestic cable from the Pacific coast to the Phil ippines. He urges that more com fortable quarters for the troops in the Philippines be provided as soon as possible, and that an appropria- ation be made for the erection of storehouses in and about Manila :; that farriers, teamsters and the like should have uniforms different from the regularly enlisted soldier. He also says that officers in active ser vice should be provided servants en- listed as such, and with uniforms to distinguish them from the rank and file. Gen. Corbin strongly recom- mends that congress shall authorize the refinement of not to exceed tWn
