EXIT WAR INVESTIGATORS.
Their Report Upholds the Adminfs-
tratIon of the War Department..


tration of the War Department.
Washington, Feb. 9.-The war inves-
tigating commission has now COM
pleted its labors. The members OF the
commission today met at their old
offices, formally attached their sigma
lures to the original document and pro-
ceeded in a body to the executive man
sion to inform the president that they
had completed their mission, and then
presented their report. The commits
sion thus ceases to exist.
The report of the commission says
there were only two witnesses who real
ly testified against the beef furnished
the army in the recent war, General
Miles and Major DAILY, the chief sur
geon. The commission goes on to point
out the mass of evidence submitted to
the contrary as offsetting this testi-
mony. The structures of General Miles
are subject to a severe criticism.
The report says that the evidence be-
fore the commission shows that Sec
retary Alger exercised proper diligence
and supervision, and that his subordi-
mates also were efficient, experienced
and faithful. The commission is a unit
on its report, and there is no min
orlty report.

bringing full details OF the recent out
break at Apia. A correspondent writes

candidates Tor the kingship the Mataafa
natives who were numerically stronger.
were openly supported by the German
officials. and the entire German popu-
lation began 10 talk Of immediate war
I'm case the decision went against him
The llfe OF the chief justice was
threatened by one Of the chiefs. The
three consuls agreed TO issue a proc
lamation putting the chief justice and
his residence under the protection ut
the treaty powers. For some reason
the German consul broke his word and
declined 20 carry out the agreement
The British and American consuls
thereupou issued a proclamation and
hoisted their national flags over the
residence OF the chief Justice
Dec 81 the chief justice declared thai
Mataafa was ineligible for election and
that Malietoa Tanus was king. The
American and British consul immedi-
ately recognized the new king. Within
an hour the consuls, the president and
the German and British captains held
a meeting. The German consul and
president declined TO recognize Tanus,
and went over to Mataafa. who was
waiting at Mulinu, the western portion
of Apia.
The correspondent confirms the story
OF the battle Of Apia, as previously
published, as well as the act OF the
German consul in ordering the release
OF a riotous German who had been
sent to prison by the chief Justice The
CORES spondent proceeds:
Everybody i'm Apia is anxiously
awaiting news Of action by the three
powers The action OF the provisional
government in deporting the Malietoa
chiefs Is claimed 10 be In direct viola
tion Of the agreement made with the
