He knows, ugh Secretary Alger has not communicated with him, that the Secretary of War disapproves of General Eagan’s language, and he knows, furthermore, that the President stands with his Secretary of War. But General Miles” hands are tied. A personal friend of General Miles, who is aware of the pres- intentions of the commandin general, said to me to-night: o far as General Eagan and his testimony are concerned sion should have refused to such language, just as in Congress when one member 1other a liar the Speaker decides him out of order.

No such reprimand was’ ever received by him, and the general commanding had taken no no- tice of his inquiry or even taken the trou- ble since then to declare the unauthorized character of the present statements. It was such indifference as this that had “'given license to the vellow journalistic knaves who had misrepresented and hounded Government officials throughout the war."

DpeaTaag was Witness then charged General Miles df rectly with disarranging and hampering the administration of the War Depart. ment by calling officers from their duty where their presence was absolutely ne- cessary. This was the case in taking Colonel John Weston away from Cuba to serve with the Porto Rican expedition and in putting Major A. L. Smith, a very efficient officer, assigned as depot commis- sary in Porto Rico, to work on ‘‘some transport duty,” when his services were demanded on shore. General Eagan sald the commanding general went clearly outside his power in doing this, and intl. mated that General Miles was moved to do so by the ignorance and inefficiency of his own appointee.

Taking the statement in the sense it was probably intended, the | sense that will be accepted by the coun- | try at large, the sense that already the press, almost wholly, of the United States has accepted it—indeed some of | the press called for my dismissal from | the army and my court-martial—I| answer that it was not furnished under the pretense of experiment, nor even as an experiment, and when Gen- eral Miles charges that it was furnished as a ‘pretense of an experiment’ he lies in his throat, he lies in his heart, he lies in cvery hair of his head and every pore of his body, he lies wilfully, deliber- ately, intentionally and maliciously. “If his statement is true that this was | furnished under ‘pretense of an experi- | ment’ then I should be drummed out of | the army and incarcerated in prison with other libelers. His#statement is a scandalous libel, reflecting upon the | honor of every officer in the department | | who has contracted for or purchased this meat, and especially and particu- larly on the eommissary general—my- | self. In denouncing General Miles as a liar when he makes this statement I | wish to make it as emphatic and as coarse as the statement itself.

His own (Eagan” course In conduet and work had been looked into; he saw no reason why General Miles’ econduct and work should not be looked into on this show- ing, adding: “It is high time and proper that this commission should examine into the truth and falsehood of the statements and examine into his conduct of the war. He charged that if Chief Surgeon Dal with General Miles, had ever made an expert examination of the beef, then he ;w(llfull)‘ and deliberately falsified the acts.” General!

As certain charges had been brought agalnst a Judge he made them the subject of special, ! searching and sincere inquiries. M. | Lebret then recounted the details of the Bard-Picquart incident already cabled. With reference to Bard's addressing Picquart as “colonel.” the| Minister of Justice said that the gen-| erals themselves continue to call him| | “colonel,” and Captain Erque, Pic- | quart’s jailer, had been ordered to do so. | This statement was followed by a great uproar.
