The New York Herald of Monday,
through its Washington correspondent,
printed a forecast of the findings of the
War Investigating Commission.
This report says the Herald, "will
net be a whitewash Of the army admins
| tration II will be unanimous on all es-
sential points 1t will declare that the
primary trouble is due to the lack of
proper military organization.
"Secretary Alger will be blamed for
| weakness, especially in his relations with
Ma General Miles, and for permitting
| General Miles to go to Santiago.
General Miles will be censurcd for his
conduct before, during and alter the war;
for his selection of certain army camps
for telling Secretary Alger he was in the
habit of making out his own orders, and
for bringing unfounded charges that bad
beef was supplied to the troops in Porto
Rico.
General Shafter will escape easily, be-
ing only blamed for certain points which
he admitted.in his testimony.
General Breckenridge will be held re-
sponsble for leaving his department to
take part in the Santiago battle and for
not making more inspections.
General Brooke will be considered sole
ly accountable for conditions at Camp
Thomas
"The Medical Department must bear the
blame for lack of inspections and for fail
ure to carry cut proper sanitary regula-
tons.
Congress, the report will state, is cen
sured for failure to make appropriations
for smokeless powder"

FOUL GERMS IN HAVANA.

The casemate in the artillery buildin g
chosen for General Ludlow's office near
the Palace has proved so foul that the air

obedience to the new regulations. Ali

1t is expected that the city will be in
fairly good condition within three months.
The old residents regard the new health

The death of Mr. John Russell Young
librarian of Congress, like that of Mr.
Dingley, chairman of the ways and means
committee of the House, was due, in part
says the Baltimore SIN, to excessive
brain work, which fastened, if it did not
induce, the malady to which his lamented
demise is ascribed. In his office as libra

THE PURE FOOD CONGRESS-

The purity of food products is a
subject of interest to all. and every
effort to suppress adulteration should
be hailed with JOY. 1t is the highest
function OF government to promote
such efforts, for good health and happi-
mess depend largely upon good diges-
ton. So many poisons in small guam
titles are introduced into the system
through the authorizations common in
this age, that not only the aid of law
makers should be invoked, but the
chilling condemnation of public spirit
must needs also be aroused.
A congress of merchants, physicians
and others intercstcdin the suppression
OF the trade in adulterated and impure
food and drugs convened in Washing
ton Wednesday in the hall of Colum-
ban University. Hon. John B. Wight.
president of the board of District com
missioners, extended the delegates a
welcome to the city, assuring them
that the commissioners are much inter
ested in the work of the congress.
Mr.. Frank Hume, president of the
local association, followed Commissioner
Wight with an address on the quality
of food and drugs now sold in open
market everywhere. To this President
Blackburn. of the national association,
made response, dwelling with emphasis
on the Brosius- Foraker bill. which is
now pending in Congress. He said it
was time that the many State meas
ures intended to prevent the adultera-
ton and misbrarding of food products
should he embodied in single national
statute.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
said he believed the lawmaking powers
were coming nearer and nearer to the
stand taken by delegates to the Pure
Food Congress. In his opinion the
main obstacle to the passage of the bill
favored by the convention was a con-
sentative feeling among Americans
against restricting commerce.
The Senate committee on agriculture
and forestry has made favorable re-
port on the Faulkner pure food Lll,
with slight amendments Senator
Faulkner's bill provides for the analy-
SIS OF all suspected foods, drugs, can
dies, etc, and the prosecution of manu-
facturers found guilty of adulteratirg
the same
The amended bill gives the Secretary
of Agriculture the right to confer wi h
the Association of Official A Agricultural
Chemists and such physicians and
chemists as the President may select,
and with the duly accredited represen
tatiyes of all industries for which STAN
dards are to be established, and the
standards so established shall be the
standards before the courts.

Brigadier- General Eagan, commissary.
general of the army is to be court-mar-
tailed for his abusive language unless the
administration again decides upon some
other course, which seems now improba-
BILE. After endeayoring to discover some
means by which so serious course could
be avoided, the authorities have decided
that neither reprimand nor a court of
inquiry is the proper one to pursue in
dealing with an affair which has brought
such disgrace to the staff depart ments
and that court-martial to consider one
of two charges, or possibly both, is the
only military method that meets the situa-
ton. General Merritt, the second rankin g
officer of the army, will be the president
of the court which will consist of thirteen
members, and General Clous, of the Judge
advocate generals department, the legal
member. The most conservative opinion
in army circles attributes the fact that a
court martial has been ordered to the ap-
prchension that unless such course is
taken General Miles, the affronted party,
will prefer charges against Eagan of such
character that a court-martial would be
inevitable.
