GEN. HAZEN TESTIFIES.
The Signal Service Investigation by
the House Committee.
GEN. HAZEN'S STATEMENTS AS TO THE HOW
GATE AFFAIR AND OTHER MATTERS.

GATE AFFAIR AND OTHER MATTERS.
Gen. Hazen, chief signal officer, appeared be-
fore the House committee on expenditures in
the War department to-day, In answer to the
charges made against the signal service by
Second Comptroller Maynard. In answer to
inquiries Gen. Hazen said that when he became
chief signal officer he made an Investigation OF
the financial affairs of the SERVICE which led to
the arrest of apt. HOwgate and the disclosure
of his entertainments, amounting to about
$237 900. He had continued his fnvestiga
lions, and the result was that while the service
mum now than at the time he took charge.
Gen. Viele-There seems to have always been

A MYSTERY IN CONNECTION WITH HowGATE's
AFFAIRS.
1t has been generally believed that there was a
successful covering up Of his conduct and that
he might have been arrested many times and
yet remains at large.
signal service, Is absolutely untrue. The signal
service has tried in every way in its power to
secure his arrest There has not been one
thing that has been covered up in any possible
way.
The witness, continuing, said he did not
know where Capt. Howgate was now, but he
had been In Michigan great deal, he believed,
and Was undoubtedly, in the United States at
the present time. He had tried to secure How.
gates arrest by inducing detectives to track
Vice had no funds to expend for the purpose q
securing Howgate's arrest. After he had had
Howgate arrested, that officer was turned over
to the civil authorities, who were thereafter
responsible for him.
AFTER HOwGATE's ESCAPE,
the Secretary of War at one time employed
Pinkerton detective to arrest him, but the
matter was not carefully managed, and became
public news SO that Howgate left Michigan
where he was at that time. The district attorney
Of the District OF Columbia was responsible fol
Howgate after his arrest, and the sigma
service had no power In the matter
He did not know why the district attor
ney had not secured the arrest OF Howgate
but supposed 1t was because he did not have
sufficient clue to his whereabouts. The sigma
service had ample evidence to convict Howgatt
and Gen. Hazen was anxious he should be ar
rested in order to clear away the cloud sug
gested In Gen. Vieles question.
On the suggestion Of Gen. Wheeler the pres
