The annual re port of Secretary Alger is a practically complete official history of the Spanish- American war. The secretary has riven to the public not only all the official diflpatchas that passed directly between his own office and commanding officers in the field and camp, ffut has supple mented these with short explanatory notes, setting: forth the reasons for va rious movements, and then, to complete the record of events, he has Included in the body of his report the report oi General Miles, of all the generals who participated in the campaign in Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines and final ly the reports of all the bureau officers of the war department.

The report proper begins with what may be described as a chronological his tory of the war, consisting of a number of short paragraphs, beginning with the declaration of war on April 21 and set ting forth the date upon which any event of Importance occurred, but mak ing no comment whatever upon the facts. The only exception to this rule is in reference to the casualties at San tiago. Some criticism having been made that there was a lack of surgeons I preent, the report states that there were 140 surgeons in attendance and that of 1,431 wounded only 13 died of their wounds.

Secretary Alger thinks that the gov ernment will be greatly taxed" to sup ply food to the destitute, especially in Cuba. The effort should be made, he thinks, to give the people work Instead of allowing them to dwell in idleness and living upon charity. He recom mends that this government build, a railroad, at a cost probably of 120.000. 000, as a relief work In Cuba, this enter prise to be preceded by a large and im mediate appropriation to aid the desti tute In that island. Some recommendations that occur In the early portion of the report are that provision be made for a statue of Gen eral Grant; that Chief Clerk Tweedale be made a lieutenant colonel; that pro vision be made for a second assistant secretary of war, and that an appropri ation be made for the construction of the Lake Union-Washington ship canal. The War Kxsteases. The statement of expenditures and estimates presents some formidable fig ures. The expenditures for the fiscal year, ended June 30 last were $62,534,784, and the estimates for the next fiscal year beginning July 1, 1899. are $195,250, 377. Of this great estimate the sum of $55,430,909 is charged to the pay of the army. The estimates of extraordinary appropriations required for the six months ending June 30, 1899, are $60,177. 539, and the estimates for that period, combined with those for the next fiscal year, reach a total of $255,427,917. The document ends with a number of reports of various officers and officials to the secretary of war, some of which are Indorsed by the secretary. Of the Military academy he, for instance. In dorses the recommendation for an in crease of the number of cadets by 20 annually, to be appointed by the pres ident, and one by each senator, tpsup ply the officers needed for the army ot the future. The secretary says the Red Cro&j and other relief associations contributed !n a very large degree to the care and comfort of our sick soldiers and should receive the grateful thanks of the nation. The entire report of the secretary of war forms one of the most voluminous documents of the kind ever issued from the war department and contains fully 50,000 words. LOSS Of THE P0OT1AKD.

The secretary, coming down in his history to the middle of August, when an order was Issued and is now in exe cution to muster out 100,000 volunteers, says: "Thus an army of about 250,000 volun teers and recruits for the regular army was called into existence from civil-life, and, Including the regular army, the to tal force was 274,717 men. "It was or ganized, armed and equipped (no sup plies being on hand other than those for the regulars save Springfield muskets), and 50,000 men of this force were trans ported by land and sea to battlefields in the tropics 10,000 miles apart, where they won their victories without a sin gle defeat and all within the period of 113 days from the declaration of war to the signing of the protocol. "This great achievement can be cred ited to no individual; it belongs to the nation. It was accomplished through the Intelligence and patriotism of all who served, from the commander In chief to the private in the ranks. It also speaks volumes for the prompt, patriotic and intelligent assistance of the people who furnished in so short a period the supplies necessary to pre pare this great army for the field. To the heroic men who served in distant lands the country will ever offer a true meed of praise, but the mighty army In camp, ready and eager to take the field, should also be given equal credit. It was their presence, ready at an hour's notice for any emergency, that over awed the enemy and proved to him that further resistance would be in vain. "The deaths in the army from May 1 to Oct. 1, including killed, died of wounds and of disease, were 2,910, the smallest death rate recorded of any army in history, a remarkable fact whan it is considered that over 50,000 of our troops, born and reared In the temperate zone, were campaigning in tropical climates, subject to rain and heat almost unprecedented." The secretary says of the volunteers that to furlough .them In winter would be a hardship, so he recommends 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 camps in the south. Increase Army to 100,000 Men. Under the head of increase in the per manent establishment, the secretary 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 syi the requisite officers; that a portion of this army be recruited from the in habitants of those islands, to be mus tered into the service of the United States and commanded by the officers of our army, discretion, however, to be given to the president to make appoint ments of officers from the force so re cruited. "These men are acclimated, under stand the language and habits of their countrymen, and their enlistment will not only give them employment, but also have the tendency to enable the government to get into closer touch with their people than It would other wise be able to do. This would also re lieve our own people from serving In those climates to a large extent, and moreover, enable the volunteers Sell Vm The Spaniards Decline to More Ialanda.

The sea alone knows bow the steamer Portland went to her awful doom in those treach erous waters which continually threat en the very existence of Cape Cod and which cover the most dreaded ocean graveyard on the entire Atlantic coast, for of ail the ship's company of over 100 people not one has lived. As the surge roll In from the broad Atlantic they bring the evidences of the tribute de manded by the furies. Ground into fragments were the timbers of the strong craft, 30 feet being the largest piece cast ashore, while the bodies of the greater number of the victims are likely j be disintegrated by the force m. m: waves, ana lew ir any otners in addition to the' 16 already recovered will be secured. The foundering of the Portland for it seems Impossible that she struck on the rockseclipsed two other fearful wrecks on this coast the steamer City of Columbus, on Devil's bridge in 1S84, when 100 lives were lost. and the ship Jason, In 1893, when 29 persons were swept away. The steamer Portland left Boston for Portland, Me., about 7 o'clock on Sat urday night in the face of a storm which was then raging. It Is asserted that Captain Blanchard was instructed by the manager of the steamship com pany not to sail that evening, and in doing so he disobeyed orders. The Portland probably went down off High land light about 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, as indicated by the stopping at that time of a watch found on the body of one of the victims. For two days Cape Cod was Isolated from the outside world, and when the railroad was opened the devastation which followed Sunday's storm became fully known. Besides the Portland vic tims at least 20 lives were lost in a host of other craft, chief of which was the big schooner King Philip. The cause of the Portland's fate, aside from the force of the elements, is a mystery which will probably never be probed. Every mariner has a theory, and all agree that when buffeted by the storm off Cape Ann the big side wheel er was disabled and before the blast was driven over 40 miles to leeward, the waves slowly demolishing the upper structure until the hull alone remained, and this finally sank beneath the sur. , face. The vessel dieopeared some dis tance off shore, for strong current is now carrying wreclte and bodies southward, and much of it may be -. found on Nantucket's shoals.

The Spanish government has Instruct- ed Senor Montero Rios to grant none of these, and, while Spain may ulti mately yield them all, it is admitted that the American commissioners have no power to enforce their demands on points not covered by the protocol. Be fore Spain does yield, the negotiations are likely to be prolonged, and the Unit ed States may have to give a substan tial quid pro quo. - Spain asks the United States to grant for a term of five years to Spanish ships carrying Spanish goods or products to Porto Rico and Cuba the same privi leges as American vessels engaged in the same trade may have, and she quali fies this request by a proviso .that trade privileges be extended to Cuba so long as the United States government is dominant over that Island. At Monday's joint session of the The Number of Victims Unknown. The exact number of persons who were carried away from Boston by the steamer Portland will probably never be known, as no list of passengers was retained on shore when the vessel sail ed on Saturday. Many estimates of the number on board have been made, but the estimates have seldom agreed. C. P. Williams, Boston agent of the Port land Steamship company, who came here on the tug William H. Smith, places the total number or persons on the steamer at 100 or possibly 105. This estimate, however, is generally regard ed as rather small. It has been stated that the number was as high as 155, but Mr. Williams denies that so many sail ed on the Portland. It is probable that 120, Including passengers and crew. Is near the correct number.
