Bates, 1o command of the Department of the Missourl, has recelved notice from the secretary of war to report at Washington on or before November 23, where he is to serve on a board of general army officers to consider matters pertaining to inland posts and reservations “1 don't know what the scope of the toard may be." said the general yesterday, nor do 1 know what recommendations, if any, it will make touching the posts of this department. However, it is not likely that uny more posts will be established in this department. Some may be abandoned, creased or diminished as circumstances re quire “'As T understand it the board will con sider such questions as the locatlon of camps authorized under a recent act of con- &ress for the instruction of soldiers in the regular army and national guard. We havo now in this department two military hools, one an infantry and cavalry school at Fort Leavenworth and the other a school of cavalry and light artillery at Fort Riley. It I8 desirable that a considerable force be stationed at both of these chools in orde that they may ovail themselves of the in- struction. “Then It may take up the question of in- creasing aud diminishing tho facilities of fous army posts, making such changes as best to meet the demands of the coun- try. Things are in an unsettled state now and have been since the various garrisona were ordered to the front at the beginning of the Spanish-American war, and it is nec- essary to reconstruct. Troops perhaps will be transferred from one post to another, the objects being to locate them where they n be best taught, where they can he most economically maintained and where they can be most quickly and conveniently moved. Then, of course, they must be sta- tioned with reference to the assurance of protection they will afford to settlers near Indian reservations and the frontiers. “It 18 not likely that these duties will keep me at Washington a great while, and o far as 1 know no one has been ordered to take temporary command of this depart ment fn my absence. It may be that 1 will be directed to command my department from there The board of which General Bates will be a member will comprise Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, Major Generals Jobn R Brooke, Blwell 8. Otie, 8. M. B. Young, Ar- thur MacArthur, Brigadier Generals John C. Bates, John M. Randall and Willlam A. Kobbe.
