No. 156.

WASHINGTON, September 26, 1904.

I--Paragraph 1086, Army Regulations of 1904, is amended to read as follows:

1086. Forage is furnished to the authorized allowance of horses of mounted officers, actually owned and kept by them in the performance of their official duties, either when on duty at stations, at posts, or in the field. When on leave of absence or on duty the nature of which necessitates the temporary separation of the officer and his mounts, forage may be furnished for four months or such additional period as may be approved by the Secretary of War. Forage is furnished to the following number of horses: Of a lieutenant general, 4;' of a major general or a brigadier general, 3; of all other mounted officers, each, 2.

II--The 90th Company, Coast Artillery, is relieved from duty at Fort McHenry, Maryland, and will proceed to and take station at Fort McKinley, Maine.

The commanding general, Atlantic Division, is charged with the execution of this movement and will promptly report hours of departure and arrival and strength of command by telegraph to The Military Secretary of the Army.

The Quartermaster's Department will furnish the necessary transportation, the Subsistence Department suitable subsistence, and the Medical Department proper medical attendance and supplies.

III--As hereafter all ball cartridges, caliber. 30, will be packed in bandoleers instead of in pasteboard boxes, all bandoleers when emptied will in time of peace be saved and turned in to post ordnance officers to be shipped by them to the commanding officer of Frankford Arsenal, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as soon as a sufficient number has been accumulated to warrant their shipment.
