before the war investigation commits
sion last week, in which he severely
attacked Gen. Miles, was made public
at the war department. Wednesday
night. The court is made UP of 10 army
officers, of whom Maj. Gen Wesley Mer.
rift is at the head, and judge advocats,
and it is to meet in this city on Wedpes-
day, the 25th inst, or as soon there
after as practicable, this disqualiics-
ton being necessary because Il number
OF the members are at distant points
and will require some days to adjust
their affairs and reach the city. All
the officers composing the court save
one are from the regular urmy, a num-
Der of whom, however, during the war
accepted volunteer rank and still hold
those commissions. They are as fo.-
lows:
Maj. Gen. Wesley Merritt. U. 8. A.: Maj.
Gen. James r. Wade. U. S. volunteers: Maj.
Gen. Matthew G. Butler, U. s. volunteers;
Maj. Gen. Samuel NJ. b. Young U. S. vol

Maj. Gen. Butler is the only one who
is not connected with the regular army.
Gen. Corbin stated that :he order for
the appointment of the court-martial
would be delivered to Gen. Eagan. This,
it is expected will be done by an officer
or an employe of the adjutant generals
office. Its receipt and acknowledge
ment by the commssary general will
be tantamount to the relief of that Of
ficer from his present duties and he will
turn over its affairs either to some ono
designated to act by the secretary OF
war or to the officer next in charge in
the department.
Adjt. Gen. Corbih refused to make
any statement regarding the form OF
the charges and specifications to be
brought against Gen. Eagan or to say
when they would be published. In view
of the early meeting of the court this
must be done very soon, and, indeed, 1t
is altogether likely that the Judge ad.
