At the time the investigation commission was about to complete its hearings and report. Immediately the ccmmission the suggestion of the Presidentit is to probe the beef story! Since then Gen. Miles has been called upon for his authority. Ile furnished a list of officers, about fifteen names. When these officers were examined It appeared thatthey had not been in Santiago or Porto Rice.

MILES' CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED. The commission has been examining witnesses almost daily regarding the beef furnished the army. The evidence fails to sustain in any sense the charges of Gen. Miles. And now the General, in an interview, coolly the commission, that it has failed to call any witnesses other than the beef contractors and the commissary officers, who could not be expected to stultify themselves.

The course of Gen. Miles has been most remarkable. He tentinues to talk, as if he courted open rupture with the administration. And finally comes this astonishing statement of Gen. Eagan.

Nobody justifies the language of the Comrhissary General. But the intemperate abuse'of Gen. Miles is important as evidence of the intensity of the feeling which prevails in the War Depart. ment Gen. Eagan, with a degree et bad judgment almost inexplicable, gave vent to the pent-up feeling.

He will In all probability suffer severely for it But that there is also a day of reckoning close at hand seems certain. The President was in consultation over the War Department troubles to-day. When Secretary Alger came from the White House his lips were sealed. It is not probable that the action which must comb will be taken for several days. ThelPresident mat wait until the report of the war investigation commission is placed in his bands.

That will be in about ten days. Then, if 'not sooner, it is intimated he will order the military court of inquiry to do its work, preparatory to possible courts-martial. And then the rigor of military investigation will be applied to the most scandalous condition the War Department has known in this generation. Mdre than one court-martial may follow. W.

B. S. CUBANS WANT Ttl DISBAND. Army Anxious to Fluter Into the Pursuits of Peace. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Demoerat.

WASHINGTON, D. January Alberto R. de' Betantourt, of the Cuban army and a nephew of the Marquis de Santa Lucia, a wealthy Cuban, who gave the major portion of his fortune to aid in securing Cuban independence, arrived in Washington yesterday. Gen. Betancourt came directly from Havana, and shortly before his departure for Washington he visited the camp of Gen.

Gomez to confer with the Cuban commander-in-chief regarding certain provisions for the army. Gen. Batancourt declares that the soldiers of the Cuban army are now, almost without exception, anxious to disband and return tewtheir homes, seeing that there is practically no longer need -for 'their services. They realize that independence and freedom from Spain hate been gained, and that absolute independence and the formation of a strictly home government is not to be had by force of arms, but rather by methods of and aiding in the establishment cf aLairm and table government The slid specialty the-leaders of -tho--army, are 'extremely alouti to render their assistance in this They' have fought for their independence, and now they are anxious to enjoy it. -Gradually, but nevertheless surely, Gen.

Betancourt declares, the masses of the Cubans are becoming reconciled to American intervention. and 'welcome the interest which the United States has taken in their affairs to lend the army toward the reconstruction of the government of Cuba. The Cuban army, he declares, has hardly', since the beginning of the war been in better condition than at the present time. That Is. the soldiers have not wanted so much for food.

They have no very great variety. but it is enough, such as it is. Then, too, he says the people are getting on better with their crops, so that with the aid which the United States is supplying it will not be long before the great suffering which Cuba has experiencekduring the past four years will be greatly relieved, and the real work og upbuilding can be commenced. Regierding compensation to the soldiers, Gen. Betancourt asserts that it is his belief that the commission will be able to secure some hatisfaction in this matter, and that a certain amount will be advanced by the United States with which to pay off the soldiers, and the repayment pledged with the revenues from the custom houses of Cuba.

This done, there would be absolute contentment with American intervention in Cuban affairs, and realizing the generosity of the American Government the Cubans would be more willing to have it longer coal Untied.

There were I. guesis in attendance. Senator Gray, was the chief speaker of the evcning and, responding to the toast, Guest of Honor," he said in part: "We am now in a Crisis of our national history, anti your hearts and mind, as patriotic citizens of this great, country, are full of anxiety as to the proper settlement of the momentous issues which have resulted from the war with Spain.

While your country was at war with Spain we were ready. to make, I every sacrifice t8 insure the success of American arms and bring victory and honor to the American flag. And trhert the war -was over I believe the patriotic, instinct of American citizenship demanded, as your President enjoined Up011 us, that we would exhibit magnanimity to a prostrate foe and moderation in the hour of victory, as we had faced the war with steadfastness and courage. In the first place, I want to say to Toll that it was my pleasure, as -well as what I my duty, to endeavor to carry out this instruction' so credible to us as a nation and so worthy of the high civgization of which we profess to be leaders. "The acquisition of territory by the United States was not onq of -the objects of the War.

and we solemnly declared in the resolutions of Congresa'that our only object in demanding the relinquishment of the sovereignty over Cuba by Spain was not to hold it ourselves, 'except that we might pacify it and fit it for self-government by Its own people. THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION. 'But in this as fit all else 'Man proposes and Gothat I of he 'things makeslhoughtful men desire to avoid war where it ean be avetded. for no one can tell what its 'consequences may be. I ardently desired that we might escape the necessity of taking' the Philippine Islands, and assuming the burden that their taking will Impose upon us.

and I know that the President of the United States was equally anxious to the same end. But It became apparent that without seeIng unexpected conditions had been created, and out of these conditions unquestionable duties had sprung which could not be avoided or evaded by the United States. "It was argued that the performance of duty is sometimes not only unpleasant, but has dangers attendant upon it; nevertheless a brave man and a brave nation will not shrink from it on that account. On the other hand. if American sentiment did not justify the return of these islands to Spain, no more could it justify leaving them derelict in the Eastern ocean, the prey of the first occupant of European rapacity.

The powers of Europe would acquiesce in our-, taking them, but they would not stand by and see them In their helpless condition of anarchy and disorder, withot seizing the opportunity to aggrandize themselves, and so it was thought best by the President and his to to take the cession of their sovereignty from Spain and hold it in trust to be administered in conformity with those high ideals and liberty-loving traditions which animate and glorify the history of our country. Duty can not honorably be avoided. because it may bring pain or danger, nor can responsibility always be evaded because of its brrdens. BEST COURSE WAS TAKEN. "That I sought in Paris by all honorable means to escape this responsibility does not matter now.

COURT OF INQUIRY PROBABLE. If Ordered, More Than One Court-Martial Will Follow. HEAD OF THE ARMY MAY BE ONE. President Has About Decided to Go to the Bottom of All the Scandals and Make' the -Guilty Ones Suffer for Their Actions.

Special Dispatch to the Glohe-Democrat WASHINGTON. D. 14.The President still has the situation in-the -War Department under eonsideration. No word of his intention has escaped 'That he Is deeply impressed his manner at the Cabinet meeting yesterday showed. The President acts slowly and with great deliberation when a very serious question is pre: sented to him.

The more grave the action I to be taken the less precipitate he is. That policy is apparent now. No order of court-martial has been issued against Gen.Eagan. That officer began the revision of his statement against Miles yesterday. He contine ued it to-day.

He had the advtce and assistance of two trusted friends. The statement is about ready for transmission to the war investigation commission. It will be presented probably on Monday. The coarseness and the vituperation have been eliminated. But as a denial of Gen.

Miles' charges and as an answer to them It is stronger In its new tone than it was with epithets included. Gen. Eagan abates not one jot of his declaration that Gen. Miles has falsified, but he puts Win parliamentary form. The President is said to feel that the situation in the War Department- calls for something more serious than the court-martial of Gen.

Eagan. "Eagan," said a high officer of the department, "would be disposed of without any real investigation of the controversy if a court-martial should be ordered as the first step. He would be charged with duct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The specification would recite the language of the statement about Gen. Miles.

Eagan would have to admit the truth of the specification. The court-martial would stop right there with a verdict of guilty. The verdict of guilty on that charge carries with it the penalty. The offending officer is then and there cashiered That ends It" WRY PROBA.Zasro.- His manner indicates that mind of the -President this in the War Department calls for action, 'which will go deeper than a single court-martial and one example. A court of Inquiry offers the only remedy commensurate with the existing evils.

In that direction it is believed the President's course will be taken. A court of inquiry can go to the very bottom of all of this scandalous talk which has been furnishing a series of War Department sensations for weeks. It can find out the origin and the basis for the story of "embalmed beef." alleged by Gen. Miles to have been fed to the soldiers and to have sickened them. The court of inquiry would not.convict anybody.

It would report findings, and upon those findings could be based the orders for court-martials. There is no authority as, yet for a definite statement of the course which the President will take, but the indications begin to point to a court of inquiry with courts-martial in sequence. The trouble in the War Department began when Gen. Miles in Porto Rico, on the eve of his departure for the United States, made his strictures on the war management. At that time the statements credited to the General commanding caused much astonishment at the White House and in the War Department.

The expectation was that Gen. Miles would disavow them. He did not. On his arrival here be was even more outspoken. At the time a proposition to court-martial Gen.

Miles was seriously discussed. There was an element in the Cabinet which thought such a step was called for in the interest of discipline. The President was not willing to proceed to extreme measures. He did not approve of what Gen. Miles had said he keenly regretted It The country was rejoicing over the fruits of the war and rather than have the discordant note of a court-martial of the highest officer of the Chinese Can Not Even Return to Hawaii.

What they count- on doing is to get some influential Congressman to present their. case to Congress and to the American people. They are confident. they say, that if this is done there will a strong revulsion of feeling in regard to making the Philippines a colonial possession of the United States.

Burgess said: "The feeling of the insurgents is very strong against, the- acceptance of any government which would not place the Filipinos on the same level with the people. in your territories. That is, they must be given a vote and be treated is Americani. No other course will be accepted.

Mlles has continued to talk and to widen the breach between himself and the rest of the War Department. The other Generals who participated in the active campaigning went before the commission and, with a single exception, failed to sustain the complaints of Gen. Miles. The exception was Inspector General Breckinridge, who sided with Gen. Miles at the very beginning of the controversy and has been Identified with him ever since.

WAR DEPARTMENT FACTIONS. The trouble has been growing steadily. Not so much ss'as evident to the general public as could be seen by those familiar with the workings of the War Department. There on the one hand. were Miles and Breckinridge.

They were against the secretary, the Adjutant General and all of the bureaus. "Strained" is a word not strong enough to represent the deplorable eondition. It is fortunate that this personal war at home did not break out until the hostilities with Spain were ended. The crisis came when Gen.

Miller's force from that port Gen. Otis is master wherever- he has planted his foot and undoubtedly is able to carry, out any policy as- to the treatment of the natives the administration is likely to dictate. There are indications that encourage the here to believe that the conciliatory policy toward the natives that was recently adopted will succeed, althbugh it can not be expected that the Filipinos will be convinced at once of the absolute faith which Gen. Otis is acting towards them. TORNADO IN TEXAS.

The husband was away from home. Acres of forest trees are uprooted and everything was swept before the wind's fury.
