Shafter To Face A
House Inquiry.

From the New York Journal"
The latest army scandal in which
Major General Shafter has involved
himself is to be investigated by Con-
gresS.
The revelations made to-day by
the Journal concerning his respOn-
sibility for the transport horrors and
his alleged violation of the explicit
orders of the Secretary of War will
be urged against him as the best of
grounds for the defeat of the pet
measure to retire him as a major
general in the regular army.
The Secretary, having knowledge
of the horror ships that came to
New York under Shafter's regime
in Cuba, sent him these instruc-
tions:
=" The Secretary enjoins upon you
the Importance of careful inspection
under your special directiC n, in ad.
dition to that made by officers of the
transport service, of all ships, inclu-
ding hospital ships, on which troops
are to embark; that you should in
this way fully satisfy yourself that
I tie best of possible service in the
way of transportation is being had"
This telegram, it was learned to-
day, was q reminder to General
Shafter that he had Heretofore been
remisS and and that no further fai-
lings would be tolerated. The in
structions to General Merritt at New
York were general and without any
intimation of personal responsibility.
General Merritt employed the re.
gular army inspectors and General
Shafter relied on the plan of the AL
ger Administration which was to
give full swing to Commissary &c.
neral Eagan and Quartermaster &C.
neral Ludington.
When the cases of the Tartar, the
Rio Janelro and the Manauense we're
fully exposed General Shafter was
called upon to make report. 1t is
understood that he reported that the
inspections had been made by Co
lionel Maus and by Colonel E. A..
Darlington. Colonel Maus has de-
MED that he made any inspection of
the Manauense, and there is no re-
cord of such an inspection by Colo
mel Darlington.
1t is believed here that General
Shaftar's only way out of the diff
Guilty is to confess that he disobeyed
the orders of the Secretary of War.
In the meanwhile resolution
will be introduced in the House as
king for all the information in the
case, inasmuch as the bill for the

"The Reign of Law

The Reign of Law A tale Of the Ken

C!oth, u mo- 1856 p. $3.50 The Macmillan

James Lane Aliens descriptive stvIe IS
so close to nature that he enthralls onr
even before he has reached the finer
stages of his development OF character
and plot, and in this latest novel, he ha;
tClq, graphically, almost dramatically.
the mental struggles of David, the grand
son Of a, pious Kentucky pioneer, who ais
perses the fond dreams of Goting parents
when. after Term or two in the bible
school, he is distracted by the variations

from his theological mcoringa, az lcas:

of Species ana The Descent Of Man
David comes home to the farm nc has

| If not tender, parents had planned for
linn, and returns 10 the nCmp field, The
description Of which, in a style that only
perhaps, this author can equal, is scarce
ly the leas. interesting portion Of the
book.
IN the darkest hour Of poverty's mo-
notonous grind in the hemp fields, there
comes Gabrielle, the school teacher, a
vanishing vision of Bible school days re-
appearing, and in truth at the time when
he most needed such a character TO sup
port and sustain him in the struggle of an
uncOuth, uHlettered mind, but yet Il clear
ore, with the untoward circumstances OF
earthly environment.
Gabrielle is a woman She embodies
the qualities that are best in woman-a
soul, heart, purposeful life, but, wom-
ankle, ready to turn 1t seemingly, al
most at caprice, in the companionship of
this undeveioped mental giant whose hon
esty and earnestness had won from her
at once a respect and a confidence that
warranted a mutual interdependence that
the author nowhere designates as pas
sion OF love.
The novel detracts nothing from the
luster Of Mr. Aliens previous literary lau-
rels. The moral smile of the hemp field
and the human plant, unpromising at
first, is lost sight of by the reader in the
fascination of eloquent story dra-
matically told, but not by the author.
The book is handsomely illustrated. be-
yond the standard of the ordinary work
Of fiction.
