WHAT THE MONEY WAS FOR.
Misrepresentation Regarding the Con-
presstonal Relief Ammonia ion

Commenting on the dispatches from San
Francisco expressing the surprise of some
members of the citizens committee there
that only 100000 of the relief fund of
s.. 10000 appropriated by Congress is still
available for relief work, Acting Secretary
Oliver OF the War Department points out
that 1t was never contemplated that that
appropriation should be spent directly by
tn ecitizens of San Francisco. The money,
according to the resolutions of Congress,
was to be expended by the War Depart
ment; was to reimburse that department
for the rations, tents, blankets, etc, be-
longing to the army, which were rushed
to San Francisco and also purchase other
relief stores The appropriation. Gen. Oil
yer explained, was allotted among the va
rious supply bureaus of the army, certain
amounts going to the commissary bureau,
the ouartermaster's bureau and the signal
corps the money allotted to the latter
being for the purpose of restoring tele-
phone and telegraph communication, etc.

TROOPS FOR SAN FRANCISCO
Only 1850 Instead of $500 Men to
Be Sent

Only two regiments Of troops, comprising
In all about 1850 men. will be sent to San
Francisco to reinforce those now there, in
stead of the $500 men as originally pro-
posed by Gen. Greedy and sanctioned by the
War Department. The troops to go are the
LIST Cavalry from Fort Clark and Fort Sam
Houston, Tex, and the infantry regiment
from Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo. A teie-
gram asking that only the reduced number
be sent was received at the War Depart
ment yesterday. and orders to that effect
were promptly issued. The remainder of
the troops originally directed to proceed to
San Francisco have been ordered not to
move until further orders. The War De-
partment officials decline to discuss the
reasons for the reduction. but the impress
sion given is that IT probably is due to
wish of the citizens committee OF San
Francisco not to have the government incur
the expenses due to their transportation so
that the money may be available for relief
work instead. The transportation charge
for the men probably would have aggre-
gated more than 100000, which can be
spent in buying rations and other necessi-
ties for the stricken people.

ARMY'S AID REQUESTED
SAN FRANCISCO UNABLE TO GET
ALONG WITHOUT IT.

The following telegram from Major Gem
eral Greedy. commanding the Pacific d.
vision. addressed to Secretary Taft has
been made public at the War Department:
In view of your telegram of the 9th
from Atlantic City every effort has been
made to impress upon the civil authorities
the absolute necessity of relieving the army
of its non-military duties at the earliest
moment. Similar notices given TO the Red
Cross. Acting under instructions to secure
written certificates of the necessities of the
case the Red Cross was requested to take
over the entire relief of San Francisco
at noon today Saturday or tomorrow tSun-
day., or at the earliest possible date. YER
bal answer was given that such action was
absolutely impossible; that the necessities
Of the situation in the interest of humanity
required the extension Of the assistance
of the army rather than retrenchment and
the written statements to this effect are
promised today. Similarly the mayor OF
San Francisco and citizens committee were
informed that the assistance of the army in
policing, sanitation, relief work, etc, should
cease at the earliest moment consistent
with safety of the public health. security
OF property and the insuring of public peace.
AT the meeting held this morning the
following action was communicated to me:
1T was unanimously decided that 1t is
absolutely necessary for the welfare of San
Francisco In order to relieve the distress
and suffering here that you continue to take
charge of the operation and supervision of
the RELIEF measures shelter, etc, and that
you also continue to assist In policing the
city. II you were to withdraw the very
valuable aid you have given us from the
very beginning of the great catastrophe
which befell San Francisco, 1t would be
impossible for the citizens of San Francisco
in their crippled condition TO take charge
OF these affairs and TO administer them in
the same manner that is being done at
the present time. I, therefore, most ear
neastly request that you not only use the
present force under your command, but
that you also insist upon an additional
force to help out in this good work until
such time as we may be in the position
to take entire control Of 1t. The committee
desires, through me, to express its ap-
probation of the magnificent work which
the army has already done, and to say TO
you that 1t does not wish to put any I'M
necessary burdens or responsibility upon
you, but at the earliest opportunity will
relieve you from them and will take charge
of them Itself
He further requests that no steps will
be taken to interfere with or curtail the
work that you have magnanimously al
though, perhaps. without absolutely legal
right. assumed In the interest of relieving
the stricken people of our city
FEELING that no other course is possible
under present conditions I have assured
the mayor and the Red Cross that the army
VIII continue its work of relief and assist
ance until the most pressing emergency
