LINCOLN , Nov. 29. ( Special. ) Major Te- diet hai submitted the following report on the annual encampment of the Nebraska National Guard to Adjutant General Uarry , and a duplicate to the adjutant general of the United States army : "LINCOLN. Nov 23 , 1893 Sir : 1 have the honor to make the following report on the annual encampment of the Nebraska National Guard , held at Hastings , August 2G to 31 , 18i3 ! : The ground selected for the camp was only fairly adapted to Its purpose , ths principal objection being the abs nce of sod and running wa'cr. In all other respects the selection was a good one , the surface' slo ping gently away from the line of officers' tents , gave perfect drainage. Water was sup plied from pipes from the city water work" , each compmy having a faucet at the cook's tent. They were also stippll'd with bath tubs. An ample inipply of straw and fuel was placed at a convenient point. At night the camp was Illuminated by four Urge elec tric lights. "Previous to the arrival of the troops the camp wau carefully mcifcur-d and laid out by .Major A A. Heed , assistant adjut-int gen eral , and Captain J L. Wilson , quartermaster of the brigade staff , under my Immediate fiupenHon At 1 o'clock p. m. on the 26th the whol > brlgad ? was concentrated at th ; cimp , with the exccp'lon of three companies which did rot arrive until later In th aft ernoon "With the exception , of an Informal gmrd mount , tli3 first day was devo e > d to arrang ing the' cimp. As teen us tin h'ii company to arrive had pitched Its t'nts , I maije a critical Inspection of th ? camp. The brigade was encampcd In column of companies at full ills a rice , with the cavalry irojp and battery at the foot The officers' tsnts were ] ptoporly arrangMl on the left flink. Sinks I enclosed and sulTlclpntly removed from the 1 right flank The ten's were * thoroughly and accurately pitched on the prescribed ll-iey Th3 only criticism to ba made- was caus-d by a few of the compmy olllcers , who after phcing their tenti' on the line , elected tent flics In front of them , thus making the line look somewhat Irregular This was cor rected after attention had been called to it. HEALTH AND SAN1TAUV CONDITION "Ths health of the cunp was exceedingly good , but few cases were reported for tr'at- mcnt , only one of which was at all serious , being cauy.d from exhaustion from the ex- csssivo heat of that day. The sinltary con dition could not hava b en better from the perfect dralnugo and attention pild to polic ing. "From my close Inspection at the honi3 stations and my observations during tha en campment , I find the equipment of the Ne braska National Guard to b quite comple e , and generally In good condition SlncJ thee Inspections I not'co ' a great Imuiovenicnt In j ! seral of the companies in the- case of clothI I Ing. arms and equipment. | "Each company commander wns pild SO \ c'nts a day for each emlsed man reported present In the morning report , and hs > or the i appointed caterer purchased such articles cf food as sseniEd to suit the taste of the men. | i The food was prepared In tamp , In most cases j i by detailed cooks. ' A few of the companies hired cooks The fcod as a rule was well ! cooked , and in no Instance did I heat of com- { I plaints. I made It a bpcc'al point to make ] ' careful Immlrl b as to tli work ng of this plan. I Interviewed nearly cvry captain , and all were * of thr opinion that It Is the most satisfactory way of messing a company In camp. AS TO TUB HEAL , WORK "On the 27th the actual work of the en campment commenced and way carried out , ( with but on ? excsntlon ) according to the ptogram of exerclsjs promulgat d by Briga dier General L. W. Colby , a rtraet pirad' with the veterans of ths Grand Army of Ilia Republic taking place of the first part of the afternoon txerclsss of the 2Cth The maja-- Ity of the companies drilled well , the officers and men b'ng thoroughly Interested In ths work. In four companies the eterclse-a In the 'school of the company' were almost b3- yond criticism. In thirteen companies the work wa'i very good. In the reimlnlng threa companies of Infantry there Is much room for Improvement. Their manifest Inferiority to the rest of th ; guard Is dua to various cir cumstances , over which. In the main , they had no control. Judging by the evident de sire of tlio members of these companies to learn the duties of a soldier , and th ? progress they did make while In camp , It will not ba long before they take a higher standing In the guard. "The drills of the troop and batt ° ry were very good , the troop having marched from 'is home s'atlon ( about ninety miles ) , the hers i < b'lng well trained to the ranks. The battery having been at two Grand Army of the Republic encimpments within a few weeks , Its horses had become pretty well ac customed to the work. The brigade and i glmental commanders were thoroughly poeted In their duties. "After the correction of some few errors , guard mount , dress parade and reviews were carried out In strict accordance with the United States army drill regulations. After parade each evening the officers returned to their stations , and tl'o regiments were marched In review before the commanding general. "On the 31st the troops were reviewed by the go\ernor. The manner In which the command performed the ccrsmony would have been creditable to any body of troops , regular or state. T.'ID alignment of the companies In passing the reviewing officer was extremely good. Three officers not saluting properly were the only errors noted. PERSONNEL AND DISCIPLINE. "Tho Nebraska National Guard Is com posed of as fine-a body of > oung men as can be found anjwhere , both morally or ph > M- cally speaking. It seems to be the alrrt of most If not all the companies to keep bad material out of their ranks. In discipline both olllcers and men are obedient , eager to learn , respectful to superiors and civil among themselves. The several formations weie , ns a rule , made promptly and a few , If any , ab sentees noted. During the whole of the en campment an excellent state of discipline was maintained. "On five evenlngy I lectured and Instructed on the duties of officers to their nupsrlora and their juniors , on general administration , on the methods of Instruction and military correspondence. On one evening Major \V L. Stark , judge advocate general of the state , lectureda nil Instructed on the 'Relation of Civil to Military Law' and on the- practice of courts-martial. "AH the Infantry officers present , blow the rank of major , were examined by a board ccnslstlng of two colonch1 , two lieutenant colonels and ono major. Per want of time the ccopo of the examination was limited as fol lows : Captains School of the soldier , the company and the battalion. Lieutenants School of the soldier and the company From tlio report submitted to the aJjutant general of the btato It U found that the- follow Ing percentages were made. Captains , highest , 0 ; lowest. CO ; average , Sl.l. Lieutenants , highest , 117 ; lowest , 14 ; average , 82,05. GUARD DUTY. "This duty Is not performed with preclse- ncas In all Its many details , nevertheless vas- done most faithfully. From Inquiries and ob servations I am of the opinion that except In a few companies , Instruction In this Im portant duty 1ms been neglected rather more than It should have been. The otllcers and men of the companies from the cities and larger towns seemed to have received the most Instruction ; many of whom were well posted , "In closing this report I dealre to call at tention to the Improvement In those com panies which I hod found deficient during the Inspection at the home stations and re ported upon in my report of Spetember 10 , 1895. After that Inspection they seemed tc have gone to work , drilling at every oppor tunity , and as a consequence came to the camp In very fair shape. "Attention la also called to the admirable manner In which the camp was broken , ; At the sounding' of the 'general' every tent went down and \\aa at once neatly folded , Jn lett than thirty minutes all the property war loaded and every company ( except one wtileti t' k a Inter Iran ) ra t'u > ( + ! > | i | U the rail- loi'l nation ?
