Mr.. Egger the first thought OF the

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE fight
of the Democratic postmaster at
Mobile for retention in Office has
been transferred to Washington.
The manner in which this Demo
crat WAS ousted is interesting.
Three Post Office Inspectors went
to Mobile and under the prste1t of
examining the accounts of the Dem
ocratic postmaster, and stayed in
the Office until after midnight and
were in possession the next morning.
Having this possession, they admit
ted the Republican postmaster and
swore him into office. The retiring
postmater alleges that this action
was illegal and has filed application
for salary beyond that time.

After one year of republican party

there have been more mortgages

DENIES GEN. MILES CHARGES.
Gen. Eagan's Statement Regarding
Supplies for the Army.

Gan. Eagan, commissary of subsistence,
gave the following statement today in ref
erence to his contemplated action in regard
to statements made by GEN. Miles con-
cerning commissary supplies furnished the
army:
Gen. Eagan has referred to the publish
ed article purporting to be an interview
with Gen. Miles in regard to the military
supplies, asking whether the statements at
tributed to him Gen. Miles, were made by
HIM, or any of them, or which of them, or
to what extent the statements, or any
parts of the statement, are true. Gen. Ea-
gan does not propose to discuss this very
serious matter in the public press. but has
asked, first, if Gan. Miles avows or dis
avows this interview, and has also asked
the investigating commission for true
copy of the statements Chat were not
sworn to, however, made by Gen. Miles be-
fore it. Gan. Eagan has also asked the in
vestigating commission to be called before
it for the purpose of rebutting and refuting
the statements alleged to have been made
by Gen. Miles and published in the press;
to answer these, or any other statements
made by Gen. Miles under oath, and es-
pecially and particularly to meet the al
legged charge of furnishing anything what
ever under pretense Of experiment. Gen.
Eagan Is of the opinion that the proper
place to discuss the merits of this matter
is before the Investigating commission and
before the courts. civil and military, where
the widest latitude, under oath, will be
given to all concerned; where the conduct
OF Gen. Miles and the conduct of Gen. Ea-
gan, under oath, will have the fullest. most
exhaustive examination and analysis, con-
corning any or all charges that may be
brought by either, to the end that Justice
shall be done. In view of this already
inaugurated action, Gen. Eagan deems it
unmilitary and improper to make charges
AGAINST anybody whatever in the service,
but thinks the law, military and civil. is
ample to be invoked in the cause of truth
ana justice. Gen. Eagan contents himself
with complete denial of the statements
alleged to have been made by Gen. Miles,
zen. Miles returned this morning from
cincinnati, where he was a guest at an
army banquet. He declined to discuss any
further subjects covered in his recent ey.i,
dence before the Investigating commission.

Easan IN reference to this evidence
