NINE MILLIONS TO
FEED ARMY ONE YEAR
Annual Report Made by the
Commissary General.

The report of Gen. ]. F. Weston, Gem
missary General of the Army, made
| public yesterday. shows that in the
course of the fiscal year ending June 80
last S9.55l ,603. Is was expended for the
subsistence of the United States regular
| troops. The amounts received from
sales of subsistence stores reached a
total of s3,1Si ,64O.12.
For the relief of citizens of the French
West Indies, made necessary by the vol
canic eruptions. total of S1O.5S3.56 was
| expended by the subsistence depart
ment.
After commenting upon the recall of
United States soldiers from Cuba. which
resulted in 14,526.1O being received from
the sales of stores, General Weston says
of the Philippine situation:
Subsistence affairs in the Philippines
have presented at all times complex and
difficult problems, but the present period
has been one of extreme difficulty to
meet satisfactorily. New and shifting
conditions bave arisen at every step, and
what is wisdom today becomes a futility
tomorrow, so that ii has been impossible
to map out any definite plan or make a
provideDt recommendation; but it is ex
pected that a settled and satisfactory
basis will soon be reached, and upon
which intelligent action may be founded.
The policy of concentration which mas
resulted in large reductions in military
forces and posts. and by which troops
are to be stationed at seacoast points
and along the railroad, all make toward
an early and satisfactory solution"
In mis- recommendations for improving
his department General Weston reiter-
ates the request made in seventeen an
null reports by Commissaries General
since 1877 for the enlistment of bakers
in the service.
Il also renew my recommendation of
last year. he adds, for the establish
ment of one or more schools for the
training of cooks and bakers for the SER
vice. The Medical Department has es-
tablished school for teaching the art
of cooking to the Hospital Corps, and
was given an appropriation in the army
appropriation act for the purpose. A
competent knowledge of the art of cook
ing Is as necessary for those who cook
for well men as for those who cook for
the sick"

hesitation. he says. in declaring that. in
view of the results already secured by
the liquid-fnel board, an installation
should be effected without delay on at
least a third of the torpedo boats and
destroyers. This would afford further
systematic study of the subject. On
merchant vessels, where the structural
disadvantages OF warships would not
have TO be overcome, Admiral Melville
believes oil fuel may be used. and that
the information gathered by the board
will materially increase oil-fuel install
lation on them and insure establishment
The fuel board did not submit many
views and recommendations. leaving
Admiral Melville to make these on the
basis of its report. but contented itself
with a businesslike account of what was
