volumes for their intelligence and high
soldierly bearing.

resulting from overcrowded rooms, ,still re-

is earnestly requested, therefore, that
Congress be urged to an early conSidera-

of the army involves a great increase in
the number of promotions, each of which
is based on professional examination OF
the officer, many of the reports leading
to further official correspondence. New

Strength OF the Army.
In October. 1860. the Regular Army
closely approximated the authorized max
imum of 65. 900 enlisted men. and conse-
quently the efforts Of the recruiting serv-
ice during the remainder of the year 1900
were confined to the filling Of vacancies
as they occurred, and the shipment of
recruits to the Philippines to meet v,lcan-
cies In organizations there up to Decem-
Der 81. With the passage of the act of
February ,. 1901, increasing the Regular
Army, and to some extent anticipating
this action, recruiting officers were in
cited to renewed activity. and durini; the
months of January and February thir-
teen additional central stations were
opened, and an active canvass was en-
tered upon in the vicinity of all regular
recruiting stations. with a view to COW
ering as fully possible with the Off
GERS available all parts of the country.

Examined When Discharged.

Another subject of great Importance
was an efficient medical examination of
the troops prior to muster-out, in order
to secure a correct record of the physical
coEdition of each man as it then existed,
with a view to aid the settlement of fu-
ture applications for pensions. Eight

Individuals. or over 81 per cent of the
fetal present, make no claim of disability,
although upon examination 100 of this
number were found disabled: 4.16S claimed
disability, and of this number, 4S5 claims
were allowed; in 3, ,599 cases disability was
S5 cases disability was found TO exist, but
not contracted in the line Of duty.
Claims for disability contracted in the
line of duty were allowed in but $50 cases,
less than per cent Of the total number
present for muster-out
1T is very gratifying TO note from the
reports made that the discipline Of the

justifying in that respect the wisdom of
the method adopted of organizing them
and of selecting the senior officers from
the regular establishment. These officers
were in every instance selected for purely

troops than these volunteers, and these
troops are entitled to the gratitude Of

I'm view Of the large number of con-
valescent volunteers in the army gener-
al hospitals, particularly at San Francis
CO, and of the fact that the terms OF SER
vice of these mon. if returned to their re-
spective organizations, would necessarily
be brief. instructions were issued Septom-
Der 6. 1900 by order OF the Secretary of
War. for the discharge of all GONZALES
cent volunteers who were able to travel
with comfort and safety. their service be
ing no longer required: and that to avoid
confusion and guard against loss of rec
Ords, the descriptive lists OF these dis
charged men were to be listed by regi-
ments, filed at headquarters of the De-
paftment OF California. to be turned over
TO the respective re egimental commanders
upon their arrival at San Francisco.
AT the urgent reuqest Of General Mac
Arthur authority was granted December
Il, 1880. for the retention of al regular
officers serving under volunteer commits
sionS, whose regular organiZati tions We're
stationed in the Philippine Islands, and
also for the retention to June 30. 1907, of
volunteer officers assigned to special duty
and who desired to remain. Authority
was also granted for the discharge of
all volunteer rcgimental medical officers
who desired to remain in the Philippines
ard accept employment as contract sur
geons; but instructions were issued that
care must be taken in every case that
no transport sailing with returning vol
unteers left Manila without ample and
competent medical attendants.
The question of the place at which the
mistcr-out of the regiments should take
place received most careful consideration.
and San Francisco was, on the expressed
wish of the officers and men. selected as
the point at which this should be effected.
The report of the commanding gen.
eral. Department of California, shows
that the muster-out in every case was
quiet. orderly, and without incident
and that the number of the men mustered
out who Immediately purchased railroad
tickets to their respective homes was fully
81 per cent.
