Gensral Miles' Annual Report
Made Public.
OFFICERS AND MEN COMMENDED.

penned Present Force Snnl
elent For Service Rpqnlred.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ir..-The an
imal report of Major General Nelson A.
Miles has been made public. He says
that at present there arc 301 oflleers and
10.700 men lu Culm, 108 officers and
3.200 men in Porto Rico. On Oct. 1
there weh In the Philippines 1)71 officers
and 31,344 men, while there were en
route to those islands at that time 54(1
officers nnd 13.r."3 men.
lu Alaska there is now a force of 15
officers niyl 4S4 men, and in the Ha
waiian Islands there arc 12 officers and
453 men.
The report concludes with the follow
ing general statement:
"The demand for troops for foreign
service has been unusual and has been
somewhat severe upon them, especially
those of the regular army. Within the
last 18 months several regiments have
been required to leave their 'Stations
inf.
In-
the extreme north, move to the West
din islands to engage in a campaign in
summer, return to northern stations in
the autumn and winter and move again
to tropical islands in the Pacific and en. i
gage in campaigns under the most difli-
cult circumstances. Rarely In any serv
ice have troops experienced such unusual
changes in climate ns those above Indi
cated, yet under all circumstances and
at all times the utmost loyalty, fortitude
and faithful performance of duty have
been manifested on the part of the
troops. In nearly nil engagements where
tho troops have been brought into con
tact with the enemy they have Invnriably
acted on the offensive, and in not a sin
gle instance have they suffered defeat..
The intelligence, discipline and fidelity
of both officers and men have been most
commendable.
"Owing to tho additional nnd extraor
dinary expense placed upon officers while
serving in the Philippine Islands. Cuba.
Porto Rico and the Hawaiian Islands it
is recommended that they be allowed thel
snmo percentage of tho increase of pay j
that is now provided by law for the en
listed men. !
"It Is also recommended that officers of
the army with a credinble record who
served during tho civil war shall bo
granted the same consideration concern
ing rank and pay ns has been accorded
oflieers of the nnvy by section 11, net ap
proved March .1, IS'.Kl. I
"As far ns organization Is concerned
tho army is in a transition state. It Is
believed that l he force will be ample for
the service required of it up to tho time
authorized namely, July 1, 1901. It Is
gratifying to note that tho government
Jitis authorized a military force which
seems commensurate with its require
ments, magnitude and institutions. I I
have for years recommended the adoption
of a standard in proportion to the populn- '
tion namely, not to exceed one soldier to !
every 1.000 of the population nnd I be
lieve that the establishment ft such a
standard would be safe and judicious In
every respect. ,
