Do1NGs IN THE CABINET-GEN. ScorT, &c
We copy the following from the N. Y. Cour
Ter and Enquirer:
WAsHINGToN, Jan. u, 1913.
can inform YOU most positively, that not
withstanding all that is said by the press, Gen
? Scott has not yet been positively recalled from
Mexico.
His recall was determined upon, and will
no doubt take place. but | should not be as
e tonished if the report should reach Genera
/ Scott before the official document, so as Il
f give him a fair chance Of shaping his coursa
&C cordingly.
Were GEN. Worth not implicated in tn
matter, then Gen. Scott might be withdrawn a
t once; but if active military operations are con
: templated in Mexico, and Gen. Worth is hor
du combat, then the President will have hi
doubts as regards the entrusting Of the suprem
e command TO volunteer general. Pillow an
l Duncan are nc doubt to be tried by a court MAJ
t tial.
There has been a strong disposition on tn
u part of certain members of the Cabinet to in
duce the President to entrust the supreme com
mand of the army in Mexico to Gen. Taylor
but, though the President has listened to tn
proposition, and is partially convinced of tn
necessity of such a measure, he has not We
T brought his resolution to the sticking point
and there may be some two or three more Can
met meeting, before a definite conclusion vii
+. be come to.
