A Of
President Resolved to Stop tho Bick.
eringa in the Army.

A Washington correspondent asserts
thnt the President is profoundly displeas-
ad with the scandalOus wranglings of ar
my officers, which have been SO conspicu-
Gus in the past few months. While he is
most anxious to act as n pencemaker, he
will stop these useless chickering's in the
army and put IN end to the possibilities
Of further scandal, eve il lie has to order
several more courts martial 10 accom-
plish his purpose. The strained relations
between the general in command Of the
army aud the War Department proper
will not he eased by the punishment Of
Commissary General Pagan. 1t is the
general belief that Miles has been delib-
eratcly seeking trouble.
Considering the dircctncss Of the evil
dence which will support the charges and
specifications, it can make little differ
ence to Gen. Eagan who tries him. He
will be convicted of conduct unbccoming
an officer and a gentleman and conduct
prcjudicial to good order and military dis
cipline. The sentence OF the court will
be dismissal from the service Of the Unit
ed States, and it will remain with the
President to approve or mitigate the find
ing. 1t has keen the Presidents desire
to ccnsurc Gen. Eagan for his cxtraordi-
nary language, and he would have done
SO without a court If the prcccdcnts would
have permitted.
The President Tuesday announced at
the cabinet meeting that he had decided to
order a court martial to try Commissary
General Eagan for the abusive and violent
Language he used respecting Gen. Miles
before the war investigating commission.
Prior to the cabinet session the President
held a conference with the Secretary Of
War and Adjutant General Corbin. It
was brief, but the action to follow Eagan'a
u~tteranccs was decided and when the cab.
met met the President announced he had
reached a decision in the matter. He said
he had determined there was only one
course to adopt and that was to order q
court martial convened to try Eagan. The
decision met the approval of the members
Of the cabinet. There was some discus
sion following the Presidents announce.
ment, in which the case was thrcshed over
to some extent, though the President him
self took little part in the discussion. The
details OF the action were left to the Sec
rotary of War.

the man for the payment Of the Judgment,
