His Report Leaks Out.

The premature publication in a San
Antonio paper of the annual report OF
Brig. Gen. Frederick D. Grant, COM
handing the Military Department. OF
Texas, has been called to the attention
of the officials of the War Department
and General Grant has been requested
to explain whether or not he gave the
document to the press, contrary to
orders.
Annual reports made by command
ing generals OF the several military de-
partments are made direct to the Sec
rotary OF War and are not supposed
to be given out for publication until
so ordered by him. Often these re-
ports contain information or recon-
mendationS OF a somewhat confidential
nature, and often some OF the recon-
mendations contained in them are used
by the Lieutenant General OF the Army
in his annual report to the Secretary OF
War. Strict orders we're issued by the
War Department about a year ago
that no officer of the army should make
public his annual report. 1t is believ..
ed at the department that General
Grants report was given out through
a misunderstanding which will be sat
Sfactorily explained.
