WASHINGTON, An. 1. Oiu of the
lnt ollifial uotn of Sccivtary Alpor, who
toduy relinquished his portfolio, wan to
prepare a Htiitoincnt vovvriiiK xrvcrul
tuattiTS rc-KHrding the conduct of the
ur w hich huve been the subject of criti
cism lu the public pro, piirticulnrly with
reference to the uppointiiiiMit or kIiiIT olli
cors iu th volunteer uruiy. Thu Ntute
metit follows:
"I am M to mnke the following state
niiMit on account of the many critlclsiim
which have been made by the public
press anil eHpoclally on account of a re
cent arfiv'le which appeared in the Lon
don Tluien containing asHertionit which
have no touudutioti in truth.
"At the commencement of the war with
Spain and for ncveral yearn prior to
that time the regular nrniy consisted of
only i'.).NHI men, with the minimum num
ber of otlicers prescribed by law, The
situation can be partially appreciated
when it i remembered that within 00
days from the declaration of war the
trencth of the niiny was iucreaned to
275.1HH) men, and everything for the
equipment of thin creat force, including
clothiuc. tent, transportation, medical
mipplics, rnmpH and camp puipage and
all that pertains to equipping an army
for service, had to be manufactured,
transported and distributed for Use.
"From the statement referred to the
public might be led to believe that the
volunteer army wax ollieered by men se
lected through political influence by the
secretary of war by special favor and
without any regard to fitness for the dit
tieR they were to perform. As is well
known, the volunteer force, with the ex
ception of three regiments of engineers,
three regiments of cavalry and ten regi
ments of immune infantry, was made up
of regiments from the various states, the
otliccrs of which were all appointed ex
clusively by the governors of the re
spective states from which the regiments
came, and any officer found unfitted for
service and discharged was replaced by
another in the same manner. The presi
dent had no voice or control in the mat
ter. "The returns of the volunteer army
show that in August, 1S!)M, there were
207.244 enlisted men and JS.TSo ntlicers in
those regiments. This, with the regular
army recruited up to the war strength,
made an aggregate force of about liT.'i.tHK)
officers and men. The volunteer officers
appointed by the president numbered all
told 1.0;!2. Of this number 441 were
taken from the regular army and r01
from civil life. The number of regimen
tal officers in the regular service, owing
to appointments in the volunteers, special
recruiting and musteriug details, had
become ho reduced that to have taken
a larger number for service with the vol
unteers would have seriously impaired
the efficiency of the regular regiments.
"For n little over a thousand appoint
ments made by the president the number
of applications was over .0(H, and each
application was accompanied by a certifi
cate of his ability anil in most instances
the military service either in the regular
array or a state organization and not in
frequently iu both. These certificates
showed that each one was as well quali
fied for the position he sought and to
which he was appointed as could be pos
sible for men in civil life in this country.
"It has been stated and repeated many
times that the secretary of wur made
these appointments, when the truth is
that very few were made upon his recom
mendation, although he caused the entire
list, with the recommendations, to be
compiled and placed before the president
for his selection. I would be only too
glad to have had the honor to have made
these appointments. No better, no more
loyal or more patriotic set of men as a
whole ever served their country, and
their appointments were a credit not only
to the appointing power, but to the coun
try they served. There were exceptions,
but that could not have been foreseen. In
every walk of life men are found who
cannot carry out successfully the work
they have undertaken.
"Criticisms as to the amounts and
methods of expenditures which could im
ply the wrong or careless use of money
were also made by the Loudon Times.
This charge is false. So far as the con
duct of the service was concerned, no
person with any knowledge of the facts
can ever charge truthfully and no one
can ever show that u dollar was misap
propriated, stolen or embezzled out of the
hundreds of millions of dollars that were
expeuded. The records are an open book,
uud I will be glad to have them rigidly
examined and usk my successor to open
those accounts to the country whenever
properly called for, iu order that the en
tire truth may be known."

ATTACK ON CALAM BA.
Hebels Attempt to Hemilii the Town,
hat Are Itepulsrcl.
MANILA, July ."51. The insurgents
made an unsuccessful attempt yesterday
morning to recapture the town of Calam
bu, ou the shore of Lnguua de Iluy, which
the forces of (icnerul Hall took lost
Wednesday afternoon. The rebels num
bered 11.400 men. The attack was made
simultaneously from the north uud south,
the Filipinos apparently thinking that
they would confuse the Americans by at
tacking from two points at once.
It was not even necessary to employ
the whole American force to drive the
Filipinos off. Two companies of the
Twenty-first infantry, a squadron of cav
alry and one gun sufficed to repulse the
attuck from the north, while 400 men of
the Washington regiment, comprising
part of (Icneral Hall's command, and a
detachment of cavalry drove off the reb
els who had advanced from the south.
The loss of the insurgents is not known.
The American loss was one killed and
seven wounded.
