MILES is A LIAR.
Lies in His Throat, Heart and Every
Hair in His Head.

Commissaly General Eagan, before
the War Commission yesterday, under
oath, made these charges against MAJ
Gen. Nelson A. Miles:
"Gen. Miles was asked by your com
mlttee how timed fresh beef became a
part of the army ration. His answer
| is:
"'You had better ask the Secretary
of War or the Commissionary General.
l think they can tell you. | know 1t
was sent to the army as food, and the
pretense is that it was sent as an ex-
pertinent
"Gen Miles in saying that this food
was sent to the army as apret"nse for
experiment says that which implies
corruption, which ninety nil out OF
every one hundred people viii under
stand to mean corruption, because it
was "a pretense of experiment. He
says, not even giving credit to me for
furnishing it as an experiment, but
that l furnished it under the 'pretense
of an experiment. This is serious
charge that should not be made by
any man lightly, nor without ample
evidence to support it.
Taking the statement in the sense
that it was probably intended, the sense
that will be accepted by the country at
large. the sense that already the press
almost wholly of the United States has
accepted it-indeed some of the press,
because of it, called for my dismissal
from the army and my court martial
Il answer that it was not furnished
under the pretense of experiment, nor
even as an experiment, and If and when
Gen. Miles charges that it was fur
nished as a 'pretense of experiment.
he lies in his throat, he lies in his heart,
he lies in every hair of his head and
every pore of his body. he lies willful-
ly. deliberately, Intentionally, and
maliciously. II his statement is true
that this was furnished under pre-
tense of an experiment, then should
be drummed out of the army and in
carcerated in State prison. II this
statement is false, as assert it to be,
then he should be drummed out of the
service and incarcerated in prison with
other libelers.
''His statement is a scandalous libel,
refeeting upon the honor of every Off
Ger in the department who has con-
tracted for or purchased this meat land
and particularly on the com
missary general-myself. In denounc
ing Gen. Miles as liar, when be makes
this statement, l wish to make it as
emphatic and as coarse as the state
ment itself. I wish to force the lie
back into his throat covered with the
contents of a camp latrine. l wish to
brand it as falsehood of whole cloth
without particle of truth to sustain
it, and unless he can prove his state
ment he SHOULD be denounced by every
honest man, barred from the clubs,
barred from the society of decent peo
pie, and so ostracized that the street
bootblacks would not condescend to
speak to him, for he has fOuled his
own nest, he has aspersed tire honor of
a brother officer without particle of
evidence or fact to sustain in any de-
gree his scandalous, libelous, malicious
falsehood, viz, that this beef OF any
thing whatever was furnished the army
under 'pretense of experiment. -

Rennes, Aug. 2l.-The Dreyfus court martial reconvened this morning al the usual hour. Maitre Labori was not present. His doctors considered that it was inadvisable for him to attempt to take part in to-day's proceedings in view of the danger of a relapse. The witness was Col. Fabre, who deposed that he had discovered similarity be tween the handwriting of the accused and that of the bordereau. He reiter' ated his conviction of the guilt oi Dreyfus, saying 'T am sure he wrote the bordereau."

and began 10 call Allen names and swear
at him. Allen ran up to the man and
grabbed him by the coat. The man was
standing near fence and suddenly leared
over this and into the field on the river
side of the street. Allen still kept hold o
the mans coat and start ed to climb the
fence When the man aimed n blew at him

In connection with the accident ut Mt.

ferry slip which was broken was new
one. 1t having Teen built within two
months. In this case the railroad com.
pany's employees were stationed on the
wharf at tie slip to regulate the passage
OF excursionists from the wharf to the
boat, but they were oyerpowered by the
mass Of PEOPLE who crowded toward the
alp together, and who by their combined
pressure and weight caused the slip to
break, All the trains carrying these ex-
cursionists were run over the road with.
out detention or 40 cIdent. under the I'm.
mediate personal supervision Of the Gen.
eral Superintendent. who was AZ the ferry
directing operations. Everything posi-
BILE was done to prevent trouble. and af.
