GARRISON SUBMITS REPORT
Secretary OF War Goes Into Detail
Concerning Work Of the
Department.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Touching
briefly on many matters pertaining to
the department Secretary of War
Lindsey M. Garrison today submitted
his report to congress without many
recommendations, but largely review
ing the conditions as he has observed
them. His opening statement says:
During recent years the duties i'm
posed upon the war department have
been appreciably increased by the
addition thereto of administrative sup
ervision and control in matters relat-
ing to our so-called 'insular posses
sions' and to the construction of the
Panama canal. The scope and extent
of war department activities as thus
enlarged and broadened make it phys
ically impossible for anyone within
few months time to get much more
than a bird's-eye view of affairs, and
while early impressions may prove to
be fundamentally sound and correct,
have felt it prudent to limit my
first report largely to matters of most
pressing moment and concerning which
previous discussion has cleared the
air and brought about substantial
consensus of opinion, or at least crys-
tallized it into definite forms.
During the brief period that | have
been secretary of war l have visited
nearly every post within the contin-
entail limits of the United States, and
the canal zone, and by these visits
and by conversations with officers, en-
listed men, and others have acquired |
and impressions which | |
I'm weighing and correlating as rapid
y as practicable with the pressure of
current business, and l shall endeavor
rom time to time to give effect to
he final conclusions thus reached
When, and SO far as, occasion calls for
and circumstances permit.
While the war department functions
through army instrumentalities in,
practically all of it's operations and ac-
ivities, l shall divide my report for
of consideration into four
eneral heads-"The Army" "Insular
Panama Canal" and
Civil Affairs"

FederaIs Strongly Entrenched.

A telegram received here this after
noon from Tampico stated that the
federals had held the rebels at bay
up to noon but that the battle was
progressing furiously.
Early this morning the federals re-
sisted the fierce rebel attack. 1t is
understood the fighting began at IL
o'clock yesterday morning and con-
tinued until nightfall but was resumed
at dawn today. The rebels are re-
ported to be numerically stronger but
the federals are said to be strongly en-
trenched and such as to offset the reb-
ell advantages.
