RN LEADS TO AN INQUIRY Goverpment Will Inpvestigate the Charge That Captured Span- iards Were Beheaded. W. R. Hearst, acting as correspondent for his own papers, recently sent from Cuba the story that one of his *special commissioners,” who is also a Cuban soldier, had captured ‘and beheaded forty Spaniards. The yarn, ridiculous in itself, was made more so by the | silly embellishments. The statement, for instance, that the Cuban’s face “glowed with enthusiasm *’; that he was “ gracious and gentle”'; that he “ sniffed contemptuously ™’ at | the idea that one of his race would do anything else than cut off the heads of captives, ‘ stamped the narrative as fiction and inexcusable stupidity. But the Government seems to have taken Hearst seriously and, doubtless, will brand his lie. If any Cuban, even a yel- low journalist, be fourd to be wantonly murdering prisoners, naturally the only proper | military course will bu to execute him. Is he be found to be merely a liar, as is doubtless | the case, l{rarc will e no result but a new exposure of Hearst methods. NEW YOREK, July 6.—A Washington special to the Herald says: Secretary Alger proposes to make a prompt investigation of Mr. Hearst’s charge that forty Spaniards who surrendered to a party of Cubans had been beheaded. When I called the matter to his attention to-day he dis- credited the report. “I have heard nothing of that character from General Shafter,” -he HEA STS SI Yd ¢ 5aid. “Will you make an investigation?” I asked. “Of course,” he responded. The Secretary took to his home a copy of the article written by Mr. Hearst and will determine to-morrow upon the character of the action to be taken. A Mr. Hearst’s charge is not credited in official circles in the War De- partment. “I have heard nothing of it,” said Assistant Secretary Meiklejokn. “It is not true. I do not believe it.” Major General Miles was equally emphatic in his expression of dis- belief. “I do not believe there is a single word of truth in the story,” he said to me. “If there were I would have received official notification.” Commissary General Eagan declared that the report undoubtedly | was false. “In my opinion,” said General Eagan, ‘“Mr. Hearst’s sole object in writing such a story was to manufacture a sensation and obtain a larger sale for his paper.” Notwithstanding the disbelief of the authorities, it was considered wise to make an official investigation, so as to remove from the coun- try the stain which has been placed upon it by the charge that its allies are murdering defenseless prisoners. It is expected that Secre- tary Alger will cable to-morrow to Major General Shafter directing him to convene a court of inquiry to make a careful and thorough investigation | of the matter and to send a report to the department for his action. Not only does Mr. Hearst’s charge place this Government in an un- enviable light before the world, but the authorities say that it leaves the door open for the Spaniards to make retaliation, and, further, will cause them to die fighting rather than surrender to an enemy who may turn them over to men who will promptly execute them. Should the investigation confirm Mr. Hearst’s charge, severe pun- ishment will be meted out to the men concerned. So long as the Cubans are allies of the United States it is not proposed to permit them to mur- der defenseless prisoners and thus place upon this nation the stain of as- sisting in crime by reason of its relations with the insurgents. It is the confident expectation of the authorities that the Cuban lead- ers will promptly disavow any connectign with it, and that should it be proved that some of the men under their command were concerned in the reported execution of the Spaniards, they will mete out to them the punish- ment they deserve. If they do not, the Upited States authorities will take the matter into their own hands. East. All Harlem to-night went into mourning over the report that Rev.
