No ORDERS r SSUED 4 Court
MARITAL OR Court OF INQUIRY.

Gen. Corbin Says He Hasn't Received In
structiuns to Issue Such O~rders-Presi-
dents Advisers Favor n Court of Inquiry.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-NOo orders were issued
to-day to carry into effect the decision reached
by the President yesterday in regard to official
proceedings in the case Of Gen
eral Charles !. Pagan. Adjt.-Gen. Corbin,
through whose office orders for a court-mar-
tial. the arrest OF Gen. Pagan. or u court Of
inquiry would be issued. said tonight
that he had not issued any orders for
q court-mart!al or court Of inquiry
and had not received any instructions
TO issue any. Gen. Pagan remained at his
home during the evening. He declined to dis
cuss the affair In which he is implicated or to
furnish any on the subject. 1t IS
expected that the result OF the Presidents de-
cision will be announced in a day or so through
all official order of the War Department. A list
OF general officers available for service on a
court Of inquiry or a court-martia was sent TO
the President yesterday from which to make
selections.
While the few officials who are aware of the
decision Of the President decline to furnish any
positive Information as to the action that will
follow. it was indicated to-day that nothing
had occurred 10 bring into question the relia-
bility OF the information furnished The Sun
yesterday. that the inclinationS of the Admins
tration were to appoint a court Of inquiry in
stead Of ordering a c"ourt-martial. II a court
martial is to be ordered. that determination
was reached suddenly and was contrary 10 the
opinion held by the President and his advisers
last evening.
The opinion that Gen. Pagan should have an
opportunity to defend himself against the i'm
piled accusation Of Gen; Miles. which would he
charge OF using the offensive language CON
tanned in the statement read before the War
Commission. appears TO be shared by the
Presidents advisers. The belief that a court
martial could not do other than find Gen.
Eagan guilty and sentence him to dismissal
from the army is generally accepted without
question in official circles. and with the almost
absolute surety that court-martial proceedings
would result in dismissal. the feeling Is grow
ing that the President would have the support
OF the conservative and fair-minded people of
the country IL opportunity was given for a full
investigation Of the merits OF the controversy
between Gen. Miles and Gen. Eagan by the ap-
tribunal with the functions of a Grand Jury.
