The following recommendation is made for extra pay for officers serving in our new possessions: “The pay of all officers below the grade of brigadier general should be increased at least 33$ per cent while on duty in Cuba or our new posses sions. Most of these gentlemen have families that they are unable to have with them, and are, therefore, com pelled to maintain two establishments.
