Commission Report Clears War Dept of Major Misconduct
A presidential commission released a unanimous 65 000 word report detailing its inquiry into the Spanish American War era department practices. It finds no evidence of intentional neglect or corruption in contracts or camp sites while criticizing the adjutant general and inspector general for efficiency and authority issues and noting shortages in the medical corps and subsistence. The Santiago campaign is hailed for achieving decisive military results with relatively low casualties.
