WOliK OK TIIK WAK DKI'AIti MKNT. W Asiu.No ioN, Dec. 5.—The annual report of lie secretary oi war lias been made public. The ettieiency of the different eorps is the subject of comment and the revival of the jfrade of lieutenant general is urffod, the f«»l!owiu£ reasons being1 advarieed: "The iniere*t« of the nation demand ih.it the administration of military aftair«* »ha]i ie attended with dicnity and authority. To thi.* f.tn\ it ih uecoasary that llie commamliinf uenurul bhould he conspii iioujily .superior in rank to all subotdinat'is. Kiperience has nhown that rank, as well aa command, Is essential to give proper effret to authority in any military or tanizaiion of iruportance. Accordingly, it is recommended that the lieutenant pf-neraicy be revived as a permanent jfrade of army rank."
Should locrvutyi' the I'ay.
Secretary Klkins wishes to elevate t)ie enlisted personnel of the urmy and makes recommendations as follows:
If Rood men arc wanted for the army they nr.iM be paid something near whai wugo-earn-ers receive in the ordinary pursuits of mil life. I'mier the pressure of national prosperity rep. reseniative men command good pay. Tije army, unoer lavorahlo condltttJiis, shouhi he one of the nu.flt desirable trude«i oi youth, and there can scarcely he a doid»t- thas briirht and adventurous yuun^ men would ?eeU our colors considerable numbers if w»-re generally understood that courasre and mtrrit would be Kuitubly.-rewarded. Under present condition.there is scarcely any poncuniary benelit to attract a man to the ranks. Promotions to commissioned grades are necessarily few, and the diflerenee between llie pay of a private and a noii-conunission'-d ottleer is bardly appreciable, when considered in the lijrnt of an inducement to enlistment. It therefore rec« ommended that at least, the pay of aH uon commissioned made» be increosed lo .the extent of inakibx proinotion thereto tho object of lejjiti mateambition, thereby inducing the enlistment oi the very best material to compete for the advantages of promotion to the grade of both commissioned and non-commissioned ofiloers."
Favors Uei hne.iital 1'o^tn.
The report ur^es that small posts be abandoned and that icgiinenial posts should be located at or near the principal centers, where transportation facilities are ample, and movements of both men and suppiles may be rapidly and economically made. The army .-.could be maintained under these conditions much cheaper than ever before in its history. It is thought that the cities near which such posts may he located should be- required by congress so donate to the government sufficient land, say 1,000 acres, in consideration of building and maintaining such posts in their immediate vicinity. Officers and men would thus have access to churches, schools. libraries, and other advantages which are only to be found near larjje centers of population. Added to this, the presence of troops in the Ftates would familiarize the people, with the army, lead them to better un--lerstand its operations, and. it is believed, foster a kindlier interest in it.

Following are the recommendations regarding West Point military, academy: "The high stand u? ot the military academy at West Point.has been maintained.

The e\'o!ution of the artillery school ai Fort .Monroe. Ya., has progressed in a market degree, 'i'he development of the infantry and cava'ry school a: Fort Leavenworth, Ivan., has been remarkable. The engineerim school at Willef Point tits officers-to render imijortant aid in the defense of harbors in "ea»e of emergency. The secre uiry complains that there a lack of funds for the formation of libraries and museums for these schools, and urges' liberal appropriations b\ congress. Heferring to military drill in colleges in the I'uited State*, the report says that over l,Wl boys nre now undergoing such instruction by anny officers detailed for that purpose.
The National ttuanl.
The following refers to the national guard: "The importance of maintaining ur.d improving the militia of the several states and the District of Columbia is (renerally admitted. The national guard js the reserve force of the army. Attention is invited to the neee.ssnry appropriations for arming and equipping this reserve force. In the appropriations for the militia of the states was J'-ttKUHJO. Tho highly-improved arms and equipments of the present day cost for Die .ime number of men more than treble what they did eiphiy-four years ago. The population of the country is many time* what it was then. and the demand for these equipments has increased many times. An appropriation of only live times the Amount appropriated.in KS(W can hardly be considered extravagant. Ilecent appropriations have been entirely inadeipMi* and the war department is under the constant necessity of refusing sup supplies called for from the different states. An appropriation of at least M,OIHI.OOO for this purpose is recommended.'*
Indian Soldiers.

In speaking of the army generally, he says that reports of inspections made since the new drill regulations were is.sued show commendable nlaer'ty on the part in the men in learning them, and thftt those for the infantry and cavalry are considered an itnpi ovemen
In !ood Health.
The report of the surgeon general -hows the health of the army to be good. Taking into consideration the number ot admissions to hospital.the number constantly sick, the number of deaths and the number discharged for disability, the rates are lower than for the previous year, and considerably lower than the r.itesot the previous decade. signal Svrviei^
"The chief signal officer re]»orts the continued improvement of the signal service and important acquisitions in know j'Nlge and in material und instruments. A course of instructions has been established at Fort Uiley. Kan., which comprise* practical and theoretical work-in electricity, Held surveying, telegraphy, telephony and signaling.

PI.KASANION.
C'al.. Dec. ^.--Informa
tion reached here that a family named JSickelson had been drowned while, trying to Ford Arroyo crock. Heavy rains of last week have caused creeks in this vicinity to overflow their banks, submerging adjoining lowlands. When Arroyo creek began rising Xickelson decided to remove his family, consisting of wife and three children, his sister-in-law and hired man. from their dwelling, located on a small island in the creek, to the main land. The swift current of the creek overturned the wagon, throwing the occupants into the water. Mrs. Xickelson ami a little daughter were .swept away and drowned. The father emteavoivd to save one of his sons, but was himself overcome, both perishing. The hired man by desperate effort succeeded in drawing the remaining son and Mrs.
Nicholson's sister to the land. A searching party has recovered the bodies of Xickelson and his 11-year-old son. but those of Mrs. Xickelson and daughter have not been found.
