rency which was to the effect that the

Have Been Administered Honestly
and satisfactorily.

Gen. Macarthur cabled the War Depart
ment today from Manila making reply to
inquiries regarding the alleged frauds In
the commissary department in the Philip
pines. Gen. Macarthur reiterates his for
mer statement that there has been exag-
geration in the press reports, and says
that theidepartment is making very rigid
investigation. An official Of the War De-
partment said:
There has been some larceny and thfev-
ing, evidently on a small scale, however,
but the guilty are being tried and will be
punished on conviction"
The amount Of the stores fraudulently
taken is very much less than has been
stated. In connection with the frauds
transacted measures have been taken and
three officers and number of enlisted men
have been tried by court-martial. General
Macarthur states that q full account Of
the proceedings has been forwarded by the
transport Sheridan.
Gen. Weston, chief commissary, today re-
ceived dispatch from Col. Woodruff, the
chief commissary at Manila. which says:
DO not permit scandalous reports to
worry you. Affairs of subsistence depart
ment Of the army administered honestly
and to satisfaction of officers and troops.
Major George B. Davis has received a
reply to his message cabled to Colonel
Woodruff at Manila expressing his willing
ness to set sail for Manila on the first
available transport and face the charges
that have been brought against him. Col
onel WoodruffS reply was an assurance
that such step is not necessary, which
fact is taken to indicate that the serious
ness of the charges has been exaggerated.
1t Is felt that If the affair bore any great
gravity Colonel Woodruff would have ad-
vised Major Davis departure for the scene
of the alleged frauds, even though the lat
ters health Is not very good at present.
