WASHINGTON', July XL-One of the

tomorrow, will reUnquaah bl portfolio,
waa to pr-pare a ataxeunent covering the
teveral matter reg&rdbi the conduct d
ttt wwr which haa been the subject of
rlllcbnn In the publas pre, particularly
a-rsh refiT3oe u the appointment of
officer In the volunteer army. General
Aater In Ms m-.ecneiu say:
"I ra led to make tb following state
ments on aKCOont of many criticism
which h) .- been made by the public
pre. eopeSaUy on account of a recent
article In trie London Time containing
feuerttooa which hav no foundation la
truth.
"At the cOTimencemeot of the war
ritfi Spain' the regular army constated
of only S.000 men. with th minimum
number- of officer prescrabed by law. The
'tuatf)n may be partially appreciated
when It b remembered that within 80
day frn rle deiWatlon of war the
' airength a.' the army was Increased to
K5.00. and everytbui for th equipment
of thai force had to be manufacture!,
transported and distributed for use.
"From the statement referred to. tn
public might be le'.d t believe that the
vota-'iteer arny was officered by men se
lected uhrjb. polttloalt influence with
the eeorertary by special favor and wlth
oU any reyard to fitness for the dutle
tliey were to pert oral.
"As to wjll knjorwn, the volunteer force,
with the exception of three regiments of
entrtnee.Y, three regiment of cava'.ry and
10 r.gtmMKa of Imm'.in Infantry, was
nrade up of regiments from the various
itivces, the offlra of which were all
apH(ntd excluei-ely by the governors
ot the respeattve state from which th
regiments caae.
"The ptvaMent had no vofce nor control
In th? matter. Volunteer officers were ap
pointed by the president tl the number
all told of 1032. Of Shis 441 were taken
from the regular arvny and 391 from civil
itfe. For little over :000 appointment
nade by the presldeint the number of
apullti:lo-w waa .over 35.000. Of th num
ber ajppalnted tthere were, for Instance,
26 major jenerals, at whloh U were taken
frotn 'tlhe regular army and seven from
civil life. Off these seven ail twit one
were graduates of West Plnt military
academy and all had distinguished them
sulvea In command during tb civil war. ;
"Of brly Miter genrj.te there were 109
appointed. 66 from the regular army and
3 from civil We. Those from civil life
had all aeon service during the civil war
or on our western frontier. It has been
stated, and repeated many times, that the
secretary of war made these appoint
ments, when fhe truth to that very few
were made under hla recommendation. I
would be only too glad to have had the
honor to tuv,"e made these appointment.
