which must be remedied or placed on record for future action by high¬

action—, while now it means nothing, except routine clerical labor. 
A sanitary description of each post should be on file in the Chief 
Surgeon*s Office of each Brigade or Department. 
09.-There are no post schools, nor any for the Hospital corps, in¬

61. -There is no sewerage in any station except at the prison at 
San Isidro, f.K. There are no sinks eith , the dry earth system be¬ 
ing used. The latter is always offensive an every company of soldiers 
contains some men who will not help voluntarily in any matter tending 
to the hefe.ith or comfort of fc) hers. 
63.— TH1 STABLES are mere sheds, or in open earner"ires. As a 
rule they are suitable, and fairl^ dry.

except in' a few instances where gross carelessness in paper work 
causes nuch annoying delay.

infrequently in bad condition, deterioration of st cs is inevitable. 
bp.-HOSPITAL STORES also deteriorate rapidly, and this loss must 
be considered one of the inevitable expenses of war in the tropics. 
b6,-HOSPITAL THNTS are not on hand. Their use is dangerous in 
this climate and houses can be seised or rented wherever there are 
operations. Canvass also rots quickly.

could not be accomplished in the rainy season at Bongabong, because 
sufficient carabao were not supplied, and the troops at that place were 
not properly rationed.

68.—Troops are doing garrison duty exclusively. A few are guarding 
the Mariquina Valley to protect Manila* • water, and a few have been 
out in Ri*al province after ladrones who have captured some soldiers 
ahd civilians at Morong and Cainta. There have been no movements of 
troops except withdrawals ’from stations to go home and minor changes 
of >h8 # 0in< roh i, ifoq, the 4th, 36th, 13th and 3d infantry 
have been ordered out of, and a squadron of the 11th Cavalry into the 
Brigade. 
The morals of troops are invariably lowered by associating with 
lower races, who all have a lower standard than wha+ ~e insist shall 
be the standard at home. The native wo*»»r think nothing of urinating 
openly in the streets, or, if .in the houde, noisily behind a per 
screen,, even the educated wealthy mestise element, such a code of 
behavior can not possibly do else than injure young white men. The 
contact with si^feying and the brutalities practiced on lower animals 
also begets a contempt for human life itself as well as an unwholesome 
contempt of lower races, instead of the healthier tolerance and pater¬ 
nal supervision of them as children, we must remember that the brown
