OBEAR WOULDN'T TALK.
Savannah Officers, However, Believe
He Was Right.

He Was Right.
No little interest was created among the
officers and men of the military In sa-
vannah by the news from Atlanta of the
official GOODNESS and rather strained re-
lations that exist between Adjt. Gen.
Robertson and Col w. G. Obear. inspec-

sonal war on between the officers, and
1t win be interesting 90 note what the
result will be.
Especially will It be interesting, for the
reason that the Military Advisory Board
may decide to look into the matter It
was said yesterday that there is every
likelihood of the board making an inves
tigation, as such a state of affairs as Is
reported from the military department in
Atlanta is regarded as in no way likely

busy looking after the grievances or
sights real or fancied, that may have

Col Obear left last night for Atlanta.
Before his departure he was seen by a
representative of the Morning News, but
declined to discuss the claim made by
Gen. Robertson of scant respect being
shown him officially by the inspector gen
eral in the conduct of the military affairs
IF the state. Col. Obear said that he felt
he could say nothing about the matter
until it might be brought to his attention
officially.
Savannah officers are inclined to sus-
tain Col. Obear. One of them said yester-
day that the difficulty is that Col. Obear
Is the only thoroughly competent military
man at headquarters, and that whatever
he does in the conduct of his office is
correct. In the forms and usages follow
ed, the officer said, the inspector general
is to be relied unon

NO EXTRA PAY FOR THEM.
Ex-VOIunteers Cannot Come in for
Governments Bounty.


The ex-volunteers, who served in the
Spanish War and had hoped to come in
under the reported act of congress, framed
by Senator Tillman of South Carolina
for a months extra pay, will get nothing.
Capt. Walter E. Coney has been in CORE
spOndence with the authorities at Wash
ington, and he has been advised that the
act was not passed as understood.
1t was alleged that Congress had enacted
that volunteers, who had a furlough just
preceding their muster out, would be al
lowed a months extra pay. Most of the
others discharged, not at their own re-
quest, have received extra pay, and those
who had furloughs were expecting to
come in for a share of the government s
bounty. Nearly all the Savannahians, VINO
served, had furlough, SO they have been
excluded from the extra pay provisions.
