THE CANrEEN QUESTION.

Commanding officers at all the forts and posts i'll the country hereafter will take exact memoranda of what occurs during and after next ply day, the number of arrests. the number of absentees and the number of deserters.
 This will be done at each of the next four pay days, and the results will be placed before congress at its next session.
 Orders to this effect were received at all the posts and forts on June IS.
