COL. POPE'S OFFER.
How 1t Is Met by Gen. Miles-Falls Back
on His Former Statement
Rumors and Rumors.

New York, Feb. Ma i.-Gen. Mel
son A. Miles was asked by an Even
ing World reporter what he had done
regarding the offer of Col. A. A. Pope,
of Boston, to give 1000 for proof that
chemicals were used to ''embalm'
beef furnished the United States sol
diers in the war with Spain.
'T have told Col. Pope" was Gen.
Miles reply, chat l appreciated his
patriotism, and had great respect for
the public spirit which he displayed,
but that 1 do not think it necessary
to spend any such sum to prove such
patent fact as that the beef was en-
balmed The evidence of nearly one
hundred officers proves it. The re-
ports made to me establish it beyond
a doubt. My report was based solely
upon personal observation, and the
statements to me by officers in whom
have every confidence. l think the
evidence and testimony / produced is
sufficient to establish the truth of
everything l said regarding the beef"
Gen. Miles refused to express him
self regarding the communicating
of Brig.-Gen. Eagan.
ut is reported from Washington, :"
the reporter suggested, "that the war
investigating commission has reached
a decision in which it practically ex-
onerates all army officers except your
self and Gen. Breckenridge"
tFWe11 " renlied Gen Miles "thare
are many rumors afoat, and there is
no need for me to add to them. All
have to say is that the report will
speak for itself when it is made pub
lie"
Gen. Miles has received a telegram
from Col. A. A. Pope, of Boston, re-
questing Gen. Miles to draw on him
for 81 900 to prove that chemicals were
used to embalm beef furnished to SOL
diers, but his offer will not be ac-
cepted for the reasons already given,

THE CASE OF GEN. EAGAN.
The Record VIII Not Reach the President
Before the End of the Week-A
Supplementary Brief.

Washington, Feb. There is now
no prospect that the record of the
court martial in the case of Gen. Eagan
will reach the president before the end
of this week. Mr.. Worthington, coun-
sci for Gen. Eagan, has asked permis-
sion of the judge advocate general to
file a supplementary brie' or special
plea. Although, under the o.l prac-
tice of military law, nothing was al
lowed to intervene between the find
ings of court-martial and the final
reviewing authorities, the practice in
recent years has been much more lib
eral, and Gen. Lieber has notified Mr..
Worthington he will hear any auui-
tional representation he many make.

GEN. MILES REITERATES.
The General Gives His opinion of Canned
Beef-Bluff for Bluff. hut No
business.

New York, Feb. In an interview
yesterday Gen. Nelson A. Miles said;
"Now as to the canned roast beef,
that was different from embalmed
beef. The canned roast beef was the
beef after the extract had been boiled
out of it. You have seen the adVer-
tisements beef extract; one pound
contains the substance of from four
to five pounds of prime beef Well,
this is the beef after the extract has
been taken from 1t. They put this beef
pulp up in cans and label it canned
the canned beef was nauseating. If
swallowed it could not be kept on the
stomach"
It was pointed out to Gen. Miles that
he had been quoted as having said that
if the men who supplied the beef would
deposit $1,000 in such a way that it
could be made to pay the cost of the
proceedings, he would furnish abso-
lutte proof of his assertions. He was
asked what tribunal he had in mind,
or to whom he would furnish this
proof, and in reply, said:
Il made that statement in response
to the offer of the beef men to pay
100000 for evidence of the truth of
my allegations against their product.
| looked on their offer as a bluff, and
took that way of answering it. l have
no tribunal in mind. l have the great
est abundance of evidense to support
the charges l made, and do not think
that any part of a thousand dollars
need be spent in mere investigation. :"

No JUSTICE IN FRANCE.
The Supporters Of Dreyfus No Longer
Entertain Hope that Justice
Will be Done.
VIEWS OF A PROMINENT REvISIONIST.
Sentiment Rather than Reason Governs the
Majority OF FrenchmeD-Miilivns Ready
to Insist Upon Dreyfus' Guilt In Spite of
Proof to the Contrary-Ruined by Dis
reputable Adherents.

Paris, Feb. 2.-The most ardent
supporters of the theory that Drey-
fus was unjustly condemned now ad-
nit that there is no longer the least
hope that justice will be done.
A prominent member of the Univer'
sity of Paris, who, from the first has
been ii militant champion OF revi-
sion of the trial, says:
\ MATTER OF SENTIMENT.
For ninety-nine out of hundred
Frenchmen, the guilt or innocence OF
Dreyfus is a matter of sentiment.
All the reasoning in the world would
not induce them to change their atti-
tude There are millions of French
men who will insist upon Dreyfus'
guilt in spite of any proof to the con-
trary. feature of the situation Is
that the attitude of this majority is
dictated by motives which they be-
lieve to be deserving of the highest
respect. | admit that some of the
Dreyfnsards are much to blame for
this. The best cause may be ruined
by disreputable adherents, and there
are men on the Dreyfus side of whom
every patriotic Frenchman is the
natural enemy.
\ PESTILENT MINORITY.
"While the majority of us have been
merely demanding that justice should
be DONE pestilent minority has
made this demand an excuse for viru'
lent onslaughts on institutions we
hold in great esteem
In conclusion, the member of the
university predicted that the result
of the agitation will be IAN on
slaught of unparalleled violence on
the Jews, as the masses are convinced
that they are at the bottom of the
whole trouble"
