WASHINGTON , Oct 14. In his a pacity of commander of the depar ment of the Missouri , General Henr C. Merriam has made an annual r < port to the war department. He d ( votes particular attention to the "neces sity of better drill work by the so ] diers caused by the income of man troops. General Merriam says ther is a notion too often prevalent in th army , especially among the older offi cers , that a soldier who has one learned the drill regulations , th mechanism of tactical and calestehni exercises , may be excused from dril without detriment , forgetting tha bodies of men can maintain the powe of' collective action only by frequen collective practice even in the simples exercises. General Merriam strongl ; indorses the recommendation of Cap tain Michie of the Twelfth cavalry fo a change in the military drill. H says that even with the recent im provement which has rendered the bi less severe upon the mounts of younj horses there is still a considerabl percentage of horses made victims b : undue severity in the use of the bit He believes a return to the doubl < rein is fully justified for at least hal of each troop. Other recommendations are that th < calibre of the cavalry revolver be en larged and that a knapsack or pack bi supplied to the infantry soldier ii place of the blanket bag. A significant statement by Chiei Surgeon Callibo is that , with compar atively few exceptions , youths undei 20 years of age are not able to beai up under the hardships and privations of an active campaign. Surprising progress toward the goal of self-support by the Apache prison ers of war is recorded in an appendix by Captain Sayre , in charge of those prisoners.

On the other hand these Indians are suffering severely from tuberculosis and there were thir teen more deaths than births among them. They are declared to be gen erally a moral , industrious , truthful , honest and docile people. Major General Otis , in his annual report for the department of the lakes , says that all buildings in the depart ment have been maintained in a fair condition , although many have , been without occupancy and show disin tegration from the climate. General Otis says that a decided tvant in his department is greater ac commodations for general and gar rison prisoners. The post guardhouses lave become overcrowded. With the -ecent rapid recruiting deserters ap pear to be increasing , and at the date ) f the general's report August 7 here were considerably over 100 such > risoners confined in the guardhouses ) f the department. ' The central states , rom which a large portion of the Jnited States army is drawn , General ) tis says , seem to give great advan- ages in the way of concealment and iccupation to the absconding soldier , tnd hence the post guardhouses of he department of the lakes contains epresentatives of many military or- ; anizations stated above the limits of hat department. The enlarged re gard , however , which is now paid for he arrest and delivery of deserters .as greatly decreased their former omparative immunity from punish- aent. Weyler Will Ask for Pensions.

Congress is to Be Urged to Be Generou in Matter of Building ; . WASHINGTON , Oct. 14. It is prot able that a liberal building polic1. with respect to naval ships will b < urged upon congress at the appx-oach ing session. No authorization fo : new construction was given by con gress at the last session owing in par to a disagreement as to the respectiv * merits of single and supported tur rets. Congress contented itself with direction to the Navy department tt submit full plans for two battleships and two armored cruisers to it at the approaching session , so that the bodj could itself choose between the de signs. Secretary Long , however , does nol regard himself as estopped by this direction from recommending the con struction of additional warships and as a full year has been lost in the executon of the naval bill from the scheme laid down by the Policy Board and as more time has been lost through the great delay in construc tion of the ships already authorized and contracted for , owing to the steel strike , a considerable increase must be recommended in order to avoid fall ing hopelessly behind in the erection of the ideal American navy.
