jILLS GEN. MILES A LIAR
Vehemently Denounced by
General Eagan.
COARSE AND BRUTAL LANGUAGE
10 Reported Criticisms of the Com
handing General Have Hotly In
famed the Commissary- General.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Commissary-
General Charles H. Eagan today reap
Ooared before the war investigation
i0mmittee to answer the charges of
General Nelson A. Miles concerning
,he commissary supplies furnished the
srmy during the recent war. General
raoan's statement furnished the sensa-
ton Of the war commission history,
and was regarded by old army officers
a, one of the most remarkable attacks
over made in the history of the service.
General Eagan's statement to the COM
mission was bitter personal attack
mon General Miles, SO entirely un-
oualifed as to scope and language that
the war commission on hearing it's con-
clusion ordered a brief executive ses-
sion. after which the doors were
Opened the witness was recalled and
lusiness resumed in the usual way.
The subject in controversy was Gem
eral Miles already famous "embalmed
beef testimony, and the letters and
documents supporting it. General
Miles had charged that the canned and
refrigerated meats sent to the army in
Cuba and Porto Rico were unfit for use,
that they were preserved by the use Of
chemicals, and that they had ''been
bought and sent to the amy under pre-
tense of an experiment. This refec-
ton upon both the ability and honesty
Of the cOmmissary department had an
gered General Eagan and caused him
to request to be recalled to reply to
General Miles charges. That his
statements concerning the commanding
general we're not the result of a sudden
Outburst of passion was clearly shown
by the fact that General Eagan read his
remarks from carefully prepared Tyne
written copy. Not the least remarka-
BILE phase of General Eagan's statement
was the language in which it was
COuched. There was scarcely phrase
that would not have been characterized
as sensational in ordinary official utter
ances. General Eagan, after the hear
ing was over, refused to say whether
he had any further move in prospect in
forcing an issue between himself and
General Miles.
He denied numerous statements OF
Miles, charged that the latter's testi-
mony constituted severe reflections on
commanding generals of the expedi-
tions, and referred to him as "This
same Commanding General Nelson A
Miles," and said "whoever called bee
furnished 'embalmed beef was liar. "
W. B. Miles, in charge Of Armour &
Co.'s plant, appeared for the packing
house. He testified as to the quality O.
the canned meats and methods of in
specton.
Commissary- General Eagan, in the
course of his testimony, called Major
General Miles, commanding the army
"a liar, who lied in his throat, lie'
in his heart, lied in every part OF hi
body" who perpetrated gross scandal
and who should be drummed out O
the service and imprisoned, and shoul'
be avoided by every honest man an
barred from every club. He charac
/ terizel his interviews as "filth."

Boston, Jan. 12.-Ferdinand W.
Peck, United States mmissioner-gen-
eral to the Paris exposition, in his
speech at the Algonquin Club banquet,
said:
"Although we have succeeded in OBJ
tanning our fair proportion of exhibit
space for the American section, yet
our allotment is grossly inadequate,
and those intrusted with the response
bility must make "a constant struggle
in the direction of careful selection and
extreme condensation, and out OF the
demands for space which in the aggre
gate are already beyond that at our
command, we must retain only the ex-
hibits that are the best.
"This is a period OF national expan-
sion. In the recent strife with for
eign power we have successfully
fought for humanity. The booming OF
the guns of Admiral Dewey at Manila
has thundered around the earth, and
awakened all civilization to the TACT
that the American republic now reaches
across the globe, and the nation OF the
new century is rising on this side OF
the Atlantic. Therefore the approach
inc peace festival in France is most
onnortune, enabling, as 1T WILL our
manufacturers and producers to place
