My Dear Mr. Depew: The great pressure of business has up to now prevented me from sencing to you the statement you were kind enough to ask for, as to what had been accomplished in the way ef out- fitting the army for the field, the cond» of campaign, etc. Also the chiefs of divi ion have been too much driven with work to compile the data required. One not in the midst of the work can hardly realize vhat an undertakirg it is to call 125,000 men into the field at one time, coming from all the states, and to have them mustered end gathered in camps on so short notice, "and this, too, when we had scarce any camp outfit for their accommodation, all having to be provided for by the War De- partment. As you know, when war was declared there was no equipment whatever for the volunteers in store. That this was suc- cessfully accomplished, with very few acci- dents, is a matter of record.

The result was one of the greatest victories for the men engaged of modern warfare. The number of prisoners taken exceeded the attacking fo by nearly two to one. When yellow fever broke out and the ver list increased into the thousand, it was for a ¢ime supposed that it was prin- cipally yellow fever. The bringing troops nerth at once after the surrender, under such conditions, would have been certain death to a vast number, but upon inquiry it was ascertained that very few of these cases comparatively were yellow fever, n it was at once decided to bring the army home us speedily as possible. Kvery- thing that human tngenuity could devise has been done to succor that army—not the ingenuity of the Secretary of War, but the result of the combined counsel of those who have had a life-long experience Jn the field. That some men have been neglected on transports coming home there is no dcubt—all against po: rs, due, per- haps, to carelessness but largely on account of not having the medi- cal force to spare (many of whom were sick) from the camp at Santiago. Many ical officers sent with transports were taken ill on the way home. Record of Work. To give you a little idea of the work that has been done, I append the following The work of the adjutant general's 4 partment has been to muster and order to their station, to be precise volun- teers “ for the reguiar army. This with a force, as many staff officers from all of the de pro- moted and order The chief of e reports an ex- penditure of $5.53 or harbor defenses. building emp of heavy guns, mortar batt mines, The surgeor eral has had the enc mous work of fitting up hospitajs, organiz- ing the medical corps, employing male and female nw , contract surgeons, being surgeons who are employed from civil life, besides those commissioned as corps, fon and brigade surgeons, furnishing Medical supplies and answering the de- mands from all over the country and from camps at Santiago, Porto Rico and Mantia. The work done in this line is almost be- yond comprehension. The commissary general had purchased and distributed, up to August 1, 110,907,235 pounds of rations, which have been trans- ported and distributed to all armies in the field here and at Santiago, Porto Kico and Manila, besides the large quantity dis- tributed among the destitute Cubans. The quartermaster general's report is too long to even give an approximate idea of his work. In the way of transportation to Honolulu, Manila, Santiago and Porto Rico and return home there have been sent 82,- 685 men, with artillery equipment and sup- plies. By rail in this country been transported 9,700 officers en- listed men; also 40582 animals, besides thousands of wagons, artillery and other quarterm: er, commii medical and signal service stores.
