COURT-MARTIAL MAY FOLLOW
Unless Gen. Miles Ketracts >tavements Com
cerning Army Meat Contracts He
and Gen. EaEan WI Clash.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Unless Maj.
Gen. Miles retracts the statements con-
corning the fresh meat furnished the
army, attributed to him by Cincin-
natl paper, or denies their authentici-
ty, a court-martial may follow for
either himself or else Commissary
General Eagan. Gen. Miles is not at all
likely to make any retraction or de-
NAL, but, it is understood, he has in
course of preparation a paper which is
intended to substantiate the state
ments which he is reported to have
made. 1t is evident, therefore, that
very serious crisis has been reached
in the relations of the major general
commanding the army and the COM
missary general.
Friends of Gen. Eagan say he feels
that there can be only one outcome
the trial by court-martial of either
himself or Gen. Miles, provided the
latter fails to make a signed statement
to the secretary of war, denying every
word he is alleged to have said. To
quote a high officer, interest in the
controversy between the commanding
general and the commissary general is
based. first, upon the high standing of
the officers involved, and second, upon
the fact that the firms which supplied
to the army the beef, which Gen. Miles
has so bitterly criticised, supply half
the country with meat.

Rough Riders, was mistaken for
burglar in Mount Vernon early yester-
day, and came near near being shot.
Roosevelt, who had been in New York.
went to Mount Vernon upon the II
o'clock train. He stepped into Weber's
hotel. A few minutes later he left the
place to catch a trolley for Pelham
Manor, where he lives.
The car was late, so Roosevelt re-
turned to Weber's dining room by
side door. He sat down and fell asleep.
When Weber closed up he overlooked
Mr.. Roosevelt, who was sleeping sound
~ in a chair.
About 3 a m. Mr.. Roosevelt awoke, and,
discovering where he was, he decided to
make his exit. He found all the doors
locked and there was no one to be found.
Opening a window leading to the yard he
crawled out After prowling around in the
yard and finding no exit, he saw a window
open in the rear of Levy's store and
scrambled into it, hoping to reach the
street Night Watchman Guion, who was
on the opposite side of the avenue, saw
Mr.. Roosevelt and summoned Policeman
Lynch, thinking he was burglar. Crawl
ing into the open window Lynch ordered
Roosevelt to throw up his hands, which
he did. Roosevelt was taken to police
Headquarters, where he explained and was
let go.
