DIVISION OF INSULAR AFFAIRS.
Vast Amount of Work Accomplished IL
During the Year.


The report of Col. Clarence r. Edwards
of the War Department, for the past year
has just been made public. 1t is a recital
in brief of the vast amount of work accom-
plished during the past year by this i'm
portant division, the subjects varying all
the way from customs administration to
postal affairs. claims. educational admins
tration and political affairs. not only in the
Philippines, but in Cuba as well. There
have been flied in the insular division a
large number of claims based on the use
forces of the United States and the authori-
ties of the military governments, the taking
and use of personal property by the mill
tary authorities of the United States and
the authorities of the military governments,
damages occasioned by military operations
and conduct of soldiers in Porto Rico, Cuba
Hawaii and the Philippines
In many OF these cases it was difficult to
ascertain whether the claimant asserted Ii
ability against the federal government of
the United States or the military govern
ment of one of the islands. In cases in
which it appeared that the liability as
serted, IL existing, attached to the military
government, the claim was referred to the
authorities of the military government for
settlement. The cases in which it appeared
that the liability was asserted against the
federal government of the United States
We're transmitted to the proper bureau of
the War Department or disposed of by the
Secretary of War, upon report from this di-
VISION A number of these claims asserted
liability which, if existing. attached to a
municipality in one of the islands. In such
Instances the claim was. disposed of by no.
tifying the claimant to apply to the courts
OF the island In which the municipality was
situated. Where it appeared that tho
claimant was an alien he was required to
present his claim to the State Department.

ton in that department. A number of
these claims have been disposed of in this
manner, and there still remain some go

When he reached ...s desk he found made
ready for signature a draft for that
sum on the United States subtreasury In
Chicago in favor of the subtreasury in
New York. The situation was explained to
him by Superintendent Metcalf of the mon
ey order division. More than $1,000 600 in
money order deposits had accumulated in
Chicago from the post omces in the west,
said Mr.. Metcalf, and somewhat less than
that sum was needed to meet the money
order drafts from other countries, payable
in New York. This condition arose regular
ly in the routine operation of the depart
ment, and it was the custom of the Office
to anticipate it by transferring funds In
bulk from one. subtreasury to the other.
Mr.. Payne thereupon wrote his name al the
bottom of the draft and the credits of the
