MILITARY sNEAK.THIEvERY.
How the Brave Soldier Plumbers Us

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The Commit
tee on Military Affairs to-day continued
its examination of army officers on duty
in this city. Captain Rockwell, the de-
pot otquartermsster, who pays the officers
accounts for quarters, forage and fuel,
was before them. He testified that his
pay proper was 5000; his longevity allow
snce, 5000; his allowance for quarters,
$3.50; his forage, $3.50; his fuel, sl45-
making total OF 1868 per annum. Be-
fore the war, and for two years after
ward, his total pay and allowance as 3
captain and quartermaster were 81 600.
He contracts for the rent OF the
officers quarters without asking
any questions. Where the officer
owns hi own house, he rents it
of the officers wife or agent, and the
officer occupies it. Hessys be rents his
own quarters from Mrs. Smily, and he
presumes that it is proper conclusion
that the money reaches the actual owner
of the house. He did not say that he
owned the house himself, but it is un-
deastood that he does. The names OF
several general officers will shortly be
developed who are in the habit of pay
Ing rent to their wives. In the matter
OF forage, the practice is to take the for
age and place it with some livery stable
man, who supplies the officers wife with
horses and carriages. TO the question
by Gen. Banning: suppose Colonel
stops at the Ebbitt House on court mar
tial duty in this city, at the end Of the
month do you pay tor five rooms at $lS
each. or $50 in sll and $40 tor fuel,
making Sll0 to the lsndlord2" the an.
swer was, "ies."
q. The law SAYS that you must give
him five rooms at SIS each. Do you pay
on his certificate that he has occupied
those rooms? A. do not pay on his
certificate, pay on that OF the landlord.
.. Is it on a certificate that he has
occupied five rooms? A. No, sir. i
suppose thst he has occupied more than
fve-probsbly twenty.
q. How is that? A. Well, he has
occupied the dining room the office, the
parlor, his bed room and perhaps an
other room.
q. Ard is it upon this supposition that
you find that he has used five roo ms, and
pay the the landlord 800? A. Yes. sir.
q. Why do YOU not pay the money
directly to the officer? A. 1t would be
a violation Of the law.
Q. IsIt the Intention of the law, as
you understand it, TO pay the board,
qusr!ers, fuel and forage for officers? A.
No, sir; the Government does not find its
officers.
q. Does not the amount you pay the
landlord more than pay the hotel bill OF
the officer? A. l pay for his quarters,
and deliver his fuel and forage i'll kind
either 10 the landlord or liveryman.
q. By Mr.. Clark. Of New jersey
Who makes the arrangements with you
for the rent of the Off :ers' quarters? A.
Agents the officers wives or
some person for them.
