THE ARMY SCANDAL.
Many Believe Secretary AIger is Behind
Gen Eagan-A Crisis That May Up
set the War Department..

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-It is broadly
intimated here that Gen. Eagan, in his
attack on Gen. Miles had the tacit
backing of Secretary of War Alger. If
he did not, why was he not at once
placed under arrest?
The public clamor that some official
cognizance be taken of the brecah of
discipline, military law and the, pro-
prieties continues. The case promises
to become as famous as the army
scandals of France. But little else is
discussed.
Yet Alger remains passive. When
asked whether or not he would take
action, he seemed annoyed, and the di-
rectness of the question offended him
and provoked snarling answer. Gen.
Miles has INDUCED in no vituperation,
but he has made "the CALLED jade
vince" Eagan's pugilistic lexicon is
picturesque, but he has overlooked the
necessity of presenting facts.
