GENERAL c. p. EAGAN.

ElSERAL ". L. EAdAES'
reply to General Miles charges. That
Ills statements concerning the COM
manding general were not the result
OF sudden outburst of passion wns
clearly shown by the fact that General
Eagan read hts remarks from a care
fully prepared typewriter copy.
! Not the least remarkable phase OF
General Eagan's statement was the
language in which 1t was couched.
There was scarcely phase that would
not have been characterized as scnsa-
tional in an ordinary official utterance.
AFTER declaring that If General Miles
statement was true he (Eagam Should
be drummed out of the army and in-
carcerated In state prison." the COM
missary general continued
! s"H his statement Is false, as I as
sert it to be, ,>then he should be drum
med out of the servfce-and incarcerated
in prison with other lihelers. His State,
ment Is scandalous libel rejecting
upon the honor of every officer In the
department who has contracted for or
purchased this meat, and especially on
the commissary general-myself. In
doing SO General Miles is liar when he
makes this statement. I wish to make
It as emphatic and as coarse as the
statement itself. I wish to force the
lie back into his throat, covered with
the contents of camp latrine.
Il wish to brand 1t as falsehoOd Of
whole cloth, without particle Of truth
to sustain 1t, and unless he cun prove
t.s statement he should be denounced
BY every honest man, barred from the
clubs, barred from the society of de-
cent people, and so ostraclsed that the
street bootblack would not condescend
TO speak to him, for he has fouled his
own nest, he las aspersed the honor
Of a brother officer without a particle
of evidence or fact to sustain in any
degree his scandalous, libeleus. mali
,olous falsehood that this beef or any
thing whatever was furnished the army
under the pretense Of experiment
| General Eagan. referring 10 newapa-
per attacks, asserting that the secretary
of war had nothing whatsoever to do
with the furnishing OF refrigerated
meats or timed meats. Nor had he
attempted to control the contracts,
awards or purchases, and In this con-
hection in heated language he attacked
thrce New York newspapers and their
editors and proprictors, whom he said
should be indicted and tried for treason
to the United States during this war.
General Eagun made a vigorous at
tack on the inspector generals DEPART
ment in connection with this inveytign.
'fion. He asked why were not these in
spections held while the armies We're in
The field, where were the officers of
This department and said the principal
ofllceTS of this department took other
positions and let the inspections of the
army, which were never needed 60
much as during the war go SO far as
Fhey were concerned, for personal ag.
Erandizement, as we know they took
Volunteer rank with increased pay. and
now, at this late day, we find this de-
partment suddenly endeavoring to get
exnarte views of people in Il manner
rot authorized by the secretary Of war

THE WAR
OF WORDS
Between Major General Miles and
Commissary General Egan.
GENERAL MILES IS A LIAR,
According to the Belief Of the Com
nissary General.
UNFIT FOR DECENT MEMS SOCIETY.

N-.-.-.s .1-t
General Eagan Vigorously A-sails the Com
\ manding Generals "Embalmed Beef"
Criticisms, Insists That He Has "Fouled
the Honor Of Brother Officer Without
Particle Of Evidence" and Declares That
"Either General Miles or Myself Should
Be Put Out of the Service"
Washington, Jan. 13.-Commissary
General c. P. Eagan yesterday reap
peared before the war investigating COM
mission to answer the charges of Cen
eral Nelson A. Miles concerning the
Gommissary supplies furnished the army
curing the recent war. General Ea-
Eans statement furnished the sensa-
tion of the war commissions history
and was regarded by old army officers
MS one of the most remarkable attacks
ever made in the history of the SER
vice.
General Eagan's statement to the
commission was bitter personal at
tack upon General Miles, so entirely
unqualified both as to scope and Ian
guage that the war commission, on
hearing Its conclusion, ordered brief
executive session, after which the doors
were reopened, the witness recalled and
business resumed in the usual way.
+ The subject In controversy was Gen.
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
III Cuba and Porto~Rico were unfit for
use, that they were preserved by tn.
use of chemicals, and that they had
"been bought and sent to the army
under pretense of an experiment"
This reflection upon both the ability
and honesty Of the commissary depart
mant had angered General Eagan and
caused him to request to be recalled to
