ain November 1896, a Court Of Inqui-

Gen. Duncan l.. Clinch, the hero of With

part of General Scott. His examination
commenced on the 22d of December. The
following question among others was pro-
pounded TO him by the Court:

The failures Of, and the disasters attending
the operations in Florida, were mainly TO
be attributed TO the want of energy and
military forecast in the late head Of the
War Department, Gen. Cass, and in
laiing to order large military force, and
greater quantity ofmiliary supplies, &C.,
in the country in 1885, and early in the
year 1886. In Illustration Of this opinion,
and to show that the late Secretary of
War was not entirely uniformed as 10
the state Of things in Florida. l beg leave
to submit to the court extracts Of several
letters addressed TO the Adjulant General
of the army by the officer commanding in
Florida.
