Honored by Congress.

In recognition of his services and the
active part he took in the Spanish war
and the Philippine insurrection Congress
conferred on him the rank of major gem
eral. In 1904 he was placed in command
of the military division of the Atlantic
with headquarters at New York, and as
such conducted extensive joint maneu-
GERS at Manassas. Va. in September of
that year. Shortly after he was as
signed to the command of the army in
the Philippines. Immediately on his ar
rival at Manila he began a policy OF con-
centrsting the troops with view to
auartering them in greater comfort than
previous conditions had permitted. At
the same time he inaugurated measures
of his administration by reduction In
the annual expenses OF the command
amounting TO about $2,OO0. 600. That was
accomplished in spite of the extraordi-
nary expenditure of nearly $J0O.OO Tor
new construction. He remained in the
Philippines about two years, and was
then ordered home to assume command
OF the Military Department OF the Mis-
souri,. with headquarters at St. Louis. In
ioOo he accepted that command 10 pref
erence to the detail as chief of staff, with
station at Washington, desiring to con-
tinue In command OF troops until his
statutory retirement for age a few months

est srade-iseutenant generai-in April

John &C. Bates, who was then chief ~
