GEN. EAGAh MAKES REPLY.
DENIES STATEMENTS CREDIT
ED TO GEN. MILES.
In Relation to the Commissary
Supplies Which Were Fur

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-General
Eagan, Commissary of Subsistence,
gave out the following statement to-day
in reference to his contemplated action
on statements made by General Miles
concerning commissary supplies fur
nished the army:
General Eagan has referred to Cen
eral Miles the published article pur-
porting to be an interview with Gen
eral Miles in reference to the military
supplies, asking whether the statements
attributed to him were made by him, or
any of them, or which of them. or to
what extent the statements are correct.
General Eagan does not propose TO
discuss this very serious matter in the
public press, and has asked, first. if
General Miles avows or disayows this
interview, and has also asked the In
vestigating Commission for a true copy
of the statements that were not sworn
to and were made by General Miles be-
fore it.
General Eagan has also asked the
Investigating Commission to be called
before it. for the purpose of rebutting
and refuting the statements alleged to
have been made by General Miles, and
published in the press, to answer these,
or any statements made by General
Miles, under oath, and especially and
particularly to meet the alleged charge
Of furnishing anything whatever under
pretense of experiment
General Eagan is of the opinion that
the proper place to discuss the merits
of this matter is before the Investigate
ing Commission and before the courts.

itude, under oath, will be given to all
concerned, where the conduct of Cen
eral Miles and the conduct of General
Eagan under oath viii also have the
fullest, most exhaustive examination
and analysis, concerning any or all
charges that may be brought by either.
to the end that justice shall be done.
Tn view of this already inaugurated
action, General Eagan deems it unmili-
tary and improper to make charges
against anybody whatever in the serv-
ice. but thinks the law, military and
civil, is ample to be involved in the
cause of truth and justice. General
Eagan contents himself with complete
denial of the statements alleged to have
been made by General Miles,

IMPORTS FROM ENGLAND.
The Present Year Will Show an
Unusually Small Total.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-Importa-
tlons Of manufactures from Great Brit
ain into the United States seem likely
to show an unusually small total in
the year 1898.
The November statements of exports
from Great Britain to the United
States, which has just reached the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics. show
in nearly every case that the exporta-
ton of manufactures in the eleven
months ended November Both were less
than in the corresponding months of
earlier years. Imports of manufactures
in the early part of the year 1897 were
abnormally great, and a comparison
of the eleven months of 1898 with the
corresponding months of 1897 would
in many cases be misleading A COM
parison, however, with the correspond
ing months of 1896 and 1893 show in
nearly all cases smaller imports in
1898 than in either of the earlier years
The imports Of the eleven months of
1896 We're the smallest, with a single
exception, since 1890, and those of 1898
We're less than in the three years which
preceded it.
In nearly all classes of manufactured
articles the figures of the eleven
months of 1898 show a reduction as
compared with 1896 and 1893, and a
very large reduction as compared with
1891. In jute manufactures the i'm
ports of the eleven months of 1898
were %, ,2S7, 300 yards, against 143, ,9S4,-
800 in the corresponding months OF
1897; in woolen yarns the drop was
from 5000 pounds in 1897 to $500 in
1898; in worsted yarn from 674 300
pounds in eleven months of 1897 to
1O2,9O0 in 1893; in wooden tissues from
S,046,1O0 yards in eleven months of
1897 to 1,47S,300 in eleven months of
1898, and in worsted tissues from 4O,-
664, 700 yards in eleven months of 1897
to 1906, 400 in the corresponding
months of 1893.
