HEADQUARTERS DIVISION OF THE PHILIPPINES.

OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL.

Manila, P. I., August 9, 1900.

To the Adjutant General,
Division of the Philippines.

SIR:

In compliance with instructions from your office, I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of this Department, during the period from July 1, 1899, to July 31, 1900.

The conditions affecting the work of the Inspector General's Department in this archipelago during the past fiscal year, were such that this office possesses little information in regard to the work performed by officers of the Department, whose stations were other than in this office.

The beginning of the fiscal year found the troops organized as the Eighth Army Corps, with two divisions and some separate brigades. Three officers of the Inspector General's Department were on duty as Inspectors General of the Corps and of the divisions. There were Acting Inspectors General for some of the brigades None of the reports of inspections came to this office nor is there any record here that the Inspector General of the Corps had any relations with the Inspectors General of the divisions.

My immediate predecessor, Colonel Garlington, requested that inspection reports from the various Inspectors General might be referred to this office, but was informed that the divisions were regarded as separate Armies in the field, so far as related to the forwarding of papers, and that the reports of the inspection service were forwarded direct to Washington.

The organization of the Division of the Philippines with the assignment of Inspectors General to the various departments

tinued to be a local office, having no connection with, nor official communication to or from the offices of the various Departmental Inspectors.

As regards this office, the then Inspector General of the Department of the Pacific and Eighth Army Corps was detailed in May, 1899, as Collector of Customs at Manila, and continued on this duty until his death. The manifold duties of this position fully occupied his time, and the records of the office show little inspection work. From September 1 to October 21, this office appears to have been vacant, as there are no records whatever for this period.

On October 22, Major P. W. West, Inspector General, U. S. Volunteers, was directed to take charge, temporarily, of the office of the Inspector General of the Department. Major West was shortly afterward assigned to duty in connection with the Filipino prisoners, and his time fully occupied with investigations connected with them. Lieutenant Colonel E. A. Garlington, Inspector General, U. S. Army, assigned by War Department order as Inspector General of the Department of the Pacific and Eighth Army Corps, took charge of the office November 26. There were no orders or instructions relative to general inspection, and until January, 1900, the officers on duty in this office were engaged in such investigations and special inspections as were referred, individually, to the office. Colonel Garlington had requested general authority to make the stated inspections required by regulations, submitting a draft of a letter of instructions; this was approved and issued as follows:

HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE PACIFIC AND EIGHTH ARMY CORPS. Manila, P. I., January 5, 1900.

To the Inspector General,

SIR:

Department of the Pacific and Eighth Army Corps.

You will, by direction of the Major General Commanding, under the provisions of paragraphs 867, 868, 871 and 1433, proceed, at such times as may be opportune, to make the following inspections within the limits of the city and harbor of Manila:
