WON'T TESTIFY.
Army Officers to Keep Still About
Conduct of the War.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE diff
Guilty experienced in the construction
of a commission to investigate the
branches of the army during the war
has excited some discussion in mill
tary circles as to the possibility of a
practical failure of the investigation
by the commission. 1t develops that
there is decided uisapproval among
the army officers of the proposition
to have the conduct of the war inves-
tigated by civil authorities who can
not be clothed with judicial authority.
They say that it will not be possible
for the commission not having power
to compel testimony to get at the
facts. Most of the officers, they say,
will make it a point of honor, as we'll
as a matter of self interest, to decline
20 give testimony unless compelled to.
Two gentlemen selected by the pres
ident to be members of the commits
sion to investigate the conduct of tn
war have practically accepted-Col.
Sexton and Dr.. Gilman. The latter
arrived in the city last night and will
see the president today Favorable
responses are looked for from Gen.
Dodge and DR.. Keen, thus insuring

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Habeas corpus
proceedings were begun in the United
States court Tuesday by James Nicol,
member OF the board OF trade, who
was fined $500 last week for vio-
iating the new revenue law. The
proceedings involve the constitution
atty of the section of the revenue
law which compels brokers to make
a written statement of all sales and
contracts. Nicols attorney contend
eG that it was beyond the power of
congress to prohibit the making 0
oral contracts in the states. He also
averred that the tax imposed was not
uniform and therefore unconstitu-
tional.. He said further that if
cats and other products were taxed
on the board of trade these articles
should also be taxed on the farm.
General Black, United States attorney,
replied to the arguments. Judge
Showalter took the case under adj
visement.

Havana, Sept, 1.-THE pres enee OF
Robert ?. Porter, who is i'll Havana
on special commission to study
tie financial aad economic situation,
is regarded with susl icion by the par
ty of free Cuba, as indicating the es.
adjustment of an American policy OF
guardian hip. Porter is preparing a
revision of the Cuban tariff, which
will probably be protective of Cuban
Industries. Independence and annex

ton Next month at the headquar-
rs of the so-called Cuban republican
government at Cubitas, representa-
tives of the differ mt par les will meet.
There are two distinct tendencies In
the Cuban army, one strongly sup
porting the present government, the
other favoring Gomez. Already four
presidential nomination tickets are in
the field On the first are the names
Ct Bartolome Masso, president, Men,
dez Capote, vice president; second
Mendez Capote for first place, Jose
Miguel Gomez for second; third, Jose

Several well-kuown Cubans arr lived
here Saturday by the Mascotte osten-
sibly as delegates to the commission
Of the Cuban junta to facilitate the
work of disbanding the Cuban troops.
There is reliable authority, however
for the statement that they are really
commissioned to agitate the question
of Cuban independence.
Gomez is still encamped on the
Marcisa estate, Santa Clara province.
