Charges Against Col. Merritt Barber
for His Letter to the Army
of the Tennessee.

Omaha, Neb., Oct 5.-There is some
probability that the letter of Col. Merritt
Barber. djutant-general of the Depart
ment of the Platte, to the local represent
atives Of the Army of the Tennessee, re-
fusing to have anything to do with that
society and referring 20 it in Il most dis
courteous manner. will cause court-mar-
tial. 1t has created a sensation of con-
siderable proportions in military circles.
Col Barber has an excellent record as
a soldier for gallantry, and has been
backed by men for his kindness when
lie has been i'll the line. His singular re-
Spouse to the Army Of the Tennessee in
vitation is therefore considered the more
surprising. One of the regular army
officers taking pert in the reunion said to-
day that the affair would receive official
inquiry when reports of it reached Wash
ington. Gen. Howard was very angry
when he read Mr.. BARRIERS letter, a1d
said he would attend to the matter
when he got back East.
Gen. Stone, chairman of the executive
committee. determined to suppress all cor
respOndence in the affair with Col. Bar
Der, but some of the committee insisted
upon having access to and copies of 1T.
Gen. Howard is quoted as having con
demned Col. BARRIERS course IN scathlng
terms N speaking to brother officers and
the committee. Barber in his letter de-
clared he had never heard of the assocla-
ton and cared nothing for it.
