FOOD FOR A VAST ARMY.
Report of Commissary General West
Shows Expenditures of Over
SIS, 1000 the Past Year.
HOW SUPPLIES GET TO FAR EAST.
Nearly 500 Stations in the Philippine Ar
chipelago and Stores Were Transported
Up Narrow Rivers, by Wagon and Carabo
Carts, by Pack Mules Over Mountain
Trails, Often Through Hostile Country.

Washington, Nov. 2-The report of
zen. John f. Weston. commissary gen
eral of Subsistence, shows that the
total expenditures for the subsistence
of the army during the fiscal wear
were S15,622,22S. The receipts from
the sales of subsistence stores during
the same period were $3,29O,234. An
interesting feature of the report is a
statement that Col Woodruff, chief
commissary of the army in the Phil
lpplnes, in which he says: During
the period covered by this report the
command to be supplied extended
from the great wall of China on the
north to the island of Borneo on the
south and the island of Guam on the
east. There were 4S0 stations in this
archipelago, besides the troops in
China and the prisoners in Guam In
addition to the 6S,00O troops and 5000
officers in this division, the subsist-
ence department supplied the delica-
cies for the sick, rations for 1000
prisoners of war, IS marines, many
of the stores for the navy, rations for
1000 civilian employees, and sales
stores for the army, navy and marine
officers, Philippine commission and
attaches, and Americans employed by
the army and by the government in
its treasury, post Office, interior and
educational departments, metropoli-
tan police, native police and scouts,
transports, etc. In other words, near
ly 100000 persons, occupying a coun-
try almost destitute of meat and veg
tables and other food supplies suita-
bic for Americans, was supplied large
ly from a single base, 1000 miles dis
tant. After the stores reached Ma
Mia they had to be landed in eascoes
and then distributed on short rail-
roads, by cascoes, and then poled up
narrow rivers, by wagon and carabo
carts along almost bottomless roads,
by pack mules and coolies over noun
tain trails, often through a hostile
country, and some of the posts sup
piled were more distant, in point Of
time from Manila than is the capital
of our country
Col. Woodruff says that during the
period covered by the report there
has been received at the Manila depot
1864, $40 pounds of ration articles
and 62,444,996 pounds of sale stores.
There have been shipped from this
depot, 111,771,50g pounds of ration ar
ticles and 57,O22,671 pounds of sale
stores. Col. Woodruff refers to the
char~es against the subsistence de-
partment and takes occasion to say
that such charges were greatly ex-
aggerated. He denies any illegal pur-
chases of champagne and says that
the purchases that We're made were
necessary for sick and debilitated
troops who purchased it at 80 cents

omcers Are Not Backward In Inaugurating
Campaign of Extermination-Philip-
pine Commission Drafts an Act Making
Treason Punishable by Death and Its
Scope Is Far-Reaching.

Manila. Nov. 2-The Philippine
commission has drafted an act against
treason and sedition. The penalty pre-
scrlbed for treason is death and the
act is framed to include those persons
giving aid and comfort to the insur-
gents. Persons who utter seditious
words or speeches or who write libels
against the United States govern
ment or the insular government are
punishable by the imposition of a
fine of $4,000 or two years imprison-
ment. For the breaking of an oath
of allegiance fine of $4,000 or i'm
prisonment for ten years is fixed as
the penalty. Foreigners are placed
cans and natives.
Advices from Catbalogan, island of
Samar, say that IL men of company
e, Ninth infantry, under command of
Sergt. Willford, who had been sent
from Bassey to San Antonio, were
viciously attacked by 14o insurgents,
who rushed on them with great vio-
lence, killing two of the soldiers and
wounding two others. Willford re-
manned cool and collected during the
attack and the survivors say he acted
splendidly. Fourteen of the insur-
gents were killed. The pouring of
troops into the island of Samar is be-
leved to have had good effect on
the Cebu insurgents, who had been
wavering for some time. The malcon-
tents kept up the conflict by saying
that a majority of the American
troops had left the Philippines.
