THE COMING GREAT BATTLE

upon his failure to call attention to charges
concerning the beef at Chiokamauga, IN
which he stated his belief that the beef
was chemically treated. THE silence or
Colonel Maus," says the court, ION so
important a matter as the chemicalized
bsef reported by Major DAILY and person
ally known to himself is most remark
able"
The enormity OF Colonel Maus' offense
is best calculated by remembering that It
was also decided that Dr.. Daily did not
inspect the right beef. and hence had dis
covered nothing, and also that the beef
was good. But the peculiar pettiness Of
the revenge is found in the assignment
Ct Colonel Maus to duty under General
Shafter. His mention by name in the
court report was the first indlgniiy, when
several hundred officers were censured by
wholesale without naming Colonel Maus
had fitted up a residence here, and The
transfer was Indignantly designed. What
shows the farcical nature OF General
Miles authority is that this very order
transferring Colonel Maus bears the sig-
nature Of the major general commanding
though he never sees many orders. Though
Maus Is censured for not reporting DR..
Daly's inspection he did report on General
Skaters mlsmanagement OF the Santiago
campaign. While this Is the first action
nroner on the Wade report, 1t VIII he re-
membered that Secretary Alger recently
ordered Inspector General Breckenridge to
report to him instead Of 10 Miles. Now
the attempt is to break up General Miles
personal staff. and tho offenders are sent
10 General shafter, who will make things
pleasant fJr them.
