The annual report of Secretary Alger I a practically complete official his tory of the Spanish-American war. The secretary ha given to the public, not only nil the ofllclnl dlspntches that passed directly between his own office und commanding officers In the Meld and camp, but has Included In the body of his report the report of Oen. Miles, of nil the general who participated In the cnmpnlgn In Cubn, Porto Klco or the Philippines. Nowhere I there shown a disposition to criticise, the official dispatches being allowed to tell their own story, and generally, the secretary finds much to praise and cause for sincere congratulation In the results obtained. The only exception to this rule I In the reference to the casualties at San tiago. Some criticism having been made that there was a lack of surgeons present, the report states that there were 140 surgons In attendance, and that of 1,431 wounded only 13 died of their wounds, Touching the surrender at Santiago, the report shows that Shafter de manded the surrender on the 3d. and renewed this demand on the 4th. On the morning of the 11th another de mand was made. On the evening ol that day Gen. Mile arrived, and on the 1.1th and 14th of July he, with Oen. Shafter, met the Spanish commander under a ling of truce to discus the surrender. On the afternoon of the 14th Gen. Mile left Gen. Shafter' hendquarters and soon thereafter went aboard ship preparatory to sailing for Porto Rico.

It wa organized, armed, and equipped (no supplies being on hand other than theise for the regulars, save Springfield muskets), and 60,000 men of this force v-ere transportd by land and sea to battlefields In the tropics 10,000 mile apart, where they won their victories without a single defeat, and all with in the period of 113 days from the declaration of war to the signing of the protocol. "The deaths In the army, from May 1 to October 1, including killed, died of wounds and of disease, were 2,010, the smallest death rate recorded of any army In history, a remarkable fact when It Is considered that over 60,00 of our troops, born and reared In the temperate zone, were campaigning In the tropical climates, subject to rain nnd heat most unprecedented." The secretary says of the volunteers, thnt to furlough them In winter would be a hardship, so he recommend, that In lieu of the furlough the officers and men be given two months' pay at the time of their discharge, thus admitting of their prompt discharge In their pres ent camp In the South. Under the head of Increase In the permanent establishment, the secre tary says: "In view of the needs of a military force In the Islands occupied by the United States, It Is earnestly recom mended that the regular army be per manently Increased to 100,000 men and the requisite officers; that a portion of thl army be recruited from the In habitant of those Island, to be mus tered Into the eervlce of the United State, and commanded by officer of our nrmy, discretion, however, to be given to the president to make ap pointments of officers from the force so recruited.
