GEN. CORBIN AT
WAR INQUIRY.
He Tells the Board About the
Selection Of Camp AIger.
CONNECTS GEN. MILES WITH IT
Says The General Sent Captain Seahun TO
Inspect the Camp Site.
WHY CAMP WIK0FF WAS SELECTED.
Had Excellent Facilities For Waller Transportation
War Department Did fot ConismpIas War TIL
WAS Declared -0enbys Question.

Warrington, Dec. 2e.--Adit Gen Cor
ban WAS the first witness before the
war investigation commission today,
and was rigidly questioned regarding
the selection of Camp Alger Va. He
testified that the removal of Camp Al
ger was dictated by the secretary OF
war himself. and that its original es-
tablishment was recommended by Capt.
Seaburn of Gen Miles staff. He, Gen.
Corbin. had said at the time IL could
not be "a good camp because there was
not sufficient range for rife practice.
He had understood from the secretary
of war that Gen. Miles had something
to do with its selection. He was not
certain of Capt. Seaburn exact status,
but he had understood Capt Seabura
had been sent by Gen. Miles 10 make
the inspection Of the camp site.
Did Gen. Miles protest against or do
anything against the selection or the
camp?' he was asked.
Not To my knowledge" was the an
swer. He added that he did not know
the reasons for discontinuance OF the
camp.
Questioned az to Camp Wikoff, Gen.
Corbin denied that the contract with
the Long Island railroad gave IL eX-
elusive control. and said the only re-
striction made i'm that arrangement was
the desirable one of prohibiting eXcur-
sion steamers landing at the camp. He
said one reason for its selection was
the excellent facilities for water trans
portation. He said the camp at Tampa
was never designed for anything but
point OF embarkation. and said the
first complaints he had heard from
Camp Thomas, Chickamauga, was in
the press.
ON April iG the army for one Of it's
size was well equipped and thoroughly
supplied. There never was an army.
he said. better equipped better clothed,
better fed or with a better morale than
our regular army at that time.
II do not think the war department
contemplated war" said Gen. Corbin.
until it is was declared by congress
and appropriations We're available. OF
course, the possibilities were thought
of. but there was no general prepara-
tions EXCEPT SO far as the department
was able to meet the possibilities that
confronted it,
Col. DENLY, who conducted the ex-
animation. here suggested TO Gen. Cor
bin that he observed the latter was
cautious and reticent. and explained:
lit is not our object to criticise stra-
tegy That is not our business. The
strategy Of the war may have been
right and may have been wrong. But
our object is To determine whether the
war department acted efficiently"
Gen. Corbin said when Gen. Shafters s
expedition started il took all the trans
ports IL was possible to obtain. The
supply was not equal To the demand.
He referred to the letter of Gen. Miles,
dated June "a. laying out the plan Of
campaign of the war, and said IL was
not approved.

day. petition for habeas corpus for
the release OF Bernard n. O'Connell OF
Lowell, who was convicted over year
ago ON "a charge of bribery and SEN
fenced To one years imprisonment and
To pay fine of $500, was heard. ON
December last OConnell concluded
his years Sentence and is now serv-
ing out his term in default of the pay
ment of the $500 fine.
When the bankruptcy law went into
effect some time ago O'Connell filed a
petition in bankruptcy, and one OF the
items included the fine. He was dis
charged a bankrupt from all debts and
claims mentioned i'm his petition
The present petition is applied for
on the ground that he is being ille
gally detained in prison for the fine of
$500. At the hearing today the con-
tention Of O'ConnelFs attorney was
that, under the statute OF 1896 this fine
was a debt the same as any other debt,
and that hence a writ of habeas corpus
should be granted in order that the
case might be presented properly aud
fully.
Assistant Attorney General DeGoosh
for the commonwealth Contended that
the fine was still due. and O'Connell
was not exempted from paying IL BY
his insolvency. The public statutes.
section IL. provided that after the term
of Imprisonment has expired the per-
son convicted must wait three months
and then may prove to the satisfaction
of the court that he is a poor debtor
and may be then released. According
TO the bankruptcy law, debt is consid-
cred a civil liability, and the bank
ruptcy laws do not provide for any re-
lief from criminal debts such as the one
i'm question. He further claimed that
the United States had really no juIis-
diCtion i'm the matter, except 10 decide
whether or not tbe bankruptcy paMs
applied TO the present case. ~

visement and announced that he would
