INSPECTED BY HIS PARTY.
What the Secretary Said to n Report
err Regarding Charges-IncOmpe-
tent Officers to Be Replaced.

WASHINGTON, Sept 22-Major General
Miles. commanding the army, has completed
his plan for the reorganization of the vol
unteer forces into corps, divisions and bril-
gades. This plan has been submitted to the
War Department for approval. The plan
contemplates a reorganization of the vol
unteer force which has not been ordered
mustered out. and designates an army of
occupation for Cuba, provides for the relief
of the army in Porto Rico and establishes
a reserve to relieve the troops in the vari-
Gus islands which will be occupied by the
United States. 1t is known that the troops
of the Seventh Corps, now under General
Lee, will be designated to go to Cuba, and
that troops from the camps at Lexington,
Knoxville and Mddletown will be selected
for Porto Rican duty. 1t is understood that
General Miles deals only with organiza-
tions, such as corps, divisions. brigades and
regiments. The matter of commanding and
staff officers will be settled after the mus
tering out of general and staff officers has
been determined.

BRYAN AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
He Asks the Discharge of 20 Per Cent.
of His Regiment.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22-Col. VIM, J.
Bryan, of the Third Nebraska Volunteers,
was at the War Department to-day and
occasioned as much interest among the en-
ployes as a returned Santiago hero. Col.
Bryan was accompanied by Governor Hol-
comb and Representative Starke, of Ne
braska- They went first to the adjutant
generals office, where Colonel Bryan regis
tered, stating that he expected to return
to his station In General Corbin's office he
shook hands with the general and intro
duced the gentlemen accompanying him.
The call was formal and brief. The party
was then introduced to acting Secretary
Meikeljohn, but remained there only few
minutes, returning to the adjutant generals s
Office. General Corbin inquired as to the
condition of the camp at Jacksonville, and
asked if the soldiers wanted to come home
Colonel Bryan said he had not made poll
but his judgment as to their sentiment was
that they did wish to be mustered out. Col
Bryan went from the adjutant generals Of
flee to army headquarters and called on
General Miles Neither to the acting secre-
tary of war nor to the adjutant general did
Colonel Bryan or Governor Holcomb make
any request as to mastering out the Third
Nebraska Regiment or allude to the desires
of Colonel Bryan in reference to the sub
ject.
After leaving the War Department Colonel
Bryan and his party went to the White
House, where they were Immediately ush-
cred into the Presidents room. The partv
was cordially received by President McKin-
ley, and remained in conference with him
for more than an hour. They did not prefer
a request for the mastering out of the reg
iment as a whole, but only for the dis
charge of such of it's members as are dis
abled by disease or have. peculiar calls upon
them. They represented that about 20 per
cent. of the regiment was ILL., and they urged
that these should be relieved and sent to
their homes, where they argued that in all
probability most of them would recover
speedily because of the difference in the
climate of Nebraska and that of Florida
The President gave careful attention to all
that was said. and talked sympathetically
with his callers concerning the condition of
these men, but he made no positive prom
ise as to the course he would pursue in fhe
matter After the interview with the Pros
ident the three Nebraskans returned to fbe
War Department.
Mr.. Bryan was dressed in the full mi
form of colonel, and, beyond the fact that
his complexion testified to his exposure to
the southern sum- he looked very much as
he did in the campaign days of 1896. He
said tonight that he would not leave for
Jacksonville until tomorrow evening. 1t is
understood that he has concluded the busi-
ness with the War Department which
brought him to Washington He will de-
vote tomorrow to conferences with some
of his political friends.

BLOW At THE MARQUIS ITO
WHO WAS URGING THE YOUNG EN-
PEROR TO ALLY WITH JAPAN.
Career of Remarkable woman
Once a Poor, Ignorant Peasant Slave,
but Became "Heaven's COnsort."

PEKING, Sept. PAN imperial edict just
issued definitely announces that tie EN-
peror of China has resigned his power to
the Dowager Empress. who has ordered
the ministers to deliver to her in future
their official reports. 1t is difficult to OBJ
lin reliable information at the palace in
regard to the proceeding. but the recent
reformatory edicts probably caused the
changes. While the Emperor was subservi-
ent and a mere figurehead, the Dowager
Empress permitted him to remain in peace,
but as soon as he attempted to act on his
own initiative his practical deposition was
the result. The principal adviser, Kang
Yumoi, the Cantonese reformer, fed. in
spite of the vigorous attempts to arrest
him, and it is said he is now on his way
to Shanghai.
The effect Of the change must be great.
In ali probability Ii Hung Chang will be
reirstated in power and Russian influence
will increase. The hopes of reform so ar

Of the Chinese are now impossible of fulfill

The suddenness of the coup is said to be
due to the desire of the Dowager Empress
to prevent the mission of the Marquis Ito

statesman recently came to Picking with the

offensive and defensive, between Japan and
China. The new order of things will un-
doubtedly prejudice British interests in
China
1t is reported that the next edict will give
the full reasons for the changes. The word .
ing of the present edict is not yet obtain-
able, but it is in effect that the Emperor
requested the Dowager Empress to assume
power this being the third time the request
has been made.
The Marquis Ito. in an interview before
the edict was issued. said the Emperor re-
ceived him yesterday in the most cordial
manner. and said he hoped to have the ad-
vantage of the advice of the marquis on
reforms which his Majesty intended to un-
dertake. The marquis, even then, feared
the inaction and conservatism of the Chi
nese officials would nullify the reforms, al
though he believed the Emperor was acting
in good faith

porter: "The press has been disposed to
exaggerate the condition of some of the
camps. and things have been charged
against the War Department which were
untrue and unwarranted. 1 want the facts.
and all the facts, to come out. and have
nothing to withhold from the public. The
great trouble has been that the people have
not appreciated the immense problem OF
forming an army of 1900 volunteers with
out arms and without the necessary equip
ments. The Spanish war came upon al
most like a bolt from a clear sky, and it
found every branch of the War Depart
ment unprepared for the task of equpping
and handling such a vast number of un-
trained men. For time there was difficulty
in furnishing supplies and equipment for
the troops. but that was to be expected.
The department had only limited supply
of tents, and it had practically no wagons
or ambulances to start with. There were
a thousand and more details to look after,
and a fairly disposed public will under
stand the disadvantages under which the
War Department worked for many weeks.
AS fast as possible supplies and equipments
were sent to the several camps, and If there
has been lack of medicines and neces-
saries of life the fault lies with the COM
manding officers of the camps. There may
have been some incompetent officers in
charge of some of the camps, and If such is
found to be the case they will be held to
account for their negligence. II there are
any commanding officers who are incompe-
tent or who fail to put their camps in first
class condition and keep them that way, l
propose that they shall be replaced by men
who are competent and who will see that
perfect sanitary conditions are established
and maintained"
Secretary Ager and party were enter
tained at a dinner this evening given by
prominent citizens of Chattanooga. Assist
ant Quartermester General ]. G. c. Lee and
other army officers were guests. General
Alger stated that he was firmly convinced
of the original healthfulness of Chicka-
mauga Park, but that it had been rendered
temporarily unhealthy by the long occura-
ton of the army. He intimated that the
soldiers now in camp in this latitude will
be moved further south on the approach of
colder weather.
Colonel Lee replied to the charges made
by Generals Wiley Sanger and Colonel
Leonard and others against his department
and denied in most emphatic terms every
charge made. He characterized the charges
as absolutely false, as will be clearly shown

always be respected, but it must be under

placed a new phase on the conduct of af-

CAMP MEADE. Middletown, Pa, Sept

Columbus, where it will be mustered out
All of the other regiments here will be kept
with possibly one exception, that of the
Fourteenth Pennsylvania, which, it is ru-
mored, will be ordered to Pittsburg for mus
ter out. Colonel Glenn, however, says he
knows nothing of the muster out of his

Private George w. Hoffman, Second West

There is no verification of the story that
barracks are to be erected here for winter
quarters. The soldiers will be sent to Cuba
and Porto Rico as soon as the climatic con-
ditions will allow.
Privates Charles Kinkade and Percy
Grimes, Company B, Seventh Ohio, were

The mornings at camp are being largely

There is also more than usual attention be-

drill as it is thought that whatever service
may have to be performed in the newly
acquired possessions will be in the nature
of suppressing mobs and preserving order
