General Shafter Arrives in New York to Lead Department of the East
General William R. Shafter landed in New York from Montauk Point and went to Governor's Island to assume command of the Department of the East. He said he would stay until General Merritt arrives from Manila and then return to the Pacific to resume command there. He declined to comment on testifying before the army commission, adding he would respond if summoned. He noted a need for 100,000 soldiers to garrison posts and avoided criticizing existing War Department actions, stating he had no complaints and would answer only if superiors demanded it.
