LOOKING FOR THE LEAK.
War Department investigating D,sc'os
ures of Secret Reports.

War Department inVes.I9as"s
ures Of Secret Reports.
Washington, June 6.-Secretary OIL
War Root returned to his desk yester-
dav to find in full swing an investiga-
t;on as to how secret files of the war
office had reached Senator Culberson,
the entire war department hummlng
and buZzing with comment upon thls
breach of the army regulations, and the
entire staff of General Miles denying
that their chief had participated in the
disclosure of any secrets.
General Miles. who is still absent IN
the west, will be called upon to state
whether he has any knowledge of how
the text of the charges made by FRI
vate Weir against Lieutenant Arnold
and Sergeant Edwards reached the
senator from Texas.
1t is bluntly stated by officials of the
war department that General Miles is
suspected of having been instrumental
in getting these charges before the
rublic. Report after report that the
democratic senators desired in order to
prove their contention that army ofh-
GERS had subjected the Filipinos to cruel
treatment have mysteriously appeared
in possession of Senators Culberson,
Patterson and Dubois.
The war department takes the view
that the officer or employe who alb
stracted these reports SO that they
could be made public was guilty not
only of violating the army regulations,
but was also guilty of attacking the
United States army, of which he was a
part. Hence, if it is proved that Gen
eral Miles has had a hand in this cam
raign they say he has been attacking
the army, of which he is the highest
officer.
No proof has been brought against
General Miles. 1t is all based on infer
ence, the inference being that General
Miles is at loggerheads with the presi-
dent, secretary of war, Adjutant Gen.
aral Corbin, General Chaffee, and, in
fact, with the entire military organiza-
ton.
If the disclosure by Senator Culber-
son should be traced to General Miles,
there is no doubt whatever that the
lieutenant general in command of the
army would be summarily relieved of
his command and retired.
Practically all of the persons thru
whose hands the damaging charges
made by Private Weir passed have de-
MED that they had a hand in making
them public. 1t was also emphatically
cenied by General Miles aides yester-
day that anybody at army headquarters
was in collusion with Senator Culber-
son. General Miles may not return to
Washington until after the celebration
at West Point on June II, but he will
be called upon for information. Senate.
Culberson refuses to disclose the source
of his information.

New York, June 6.-Official decapi
tation threatens many local custom
house officials who have long been
suspected of crookedness but against
whom neither Collector Stranahan nor
the treasury department at Washing

dence They have been engaged in

satisfaction. The upheaval promises
to come soon.
President Roosevelt has issued an
executive order modifying the civil
service regulation which provides that
employees in the classified service may
be removed only by the filing and
proving of charges. The modification
is of such an extent that dismissals
may now be made for the benefit Of
the service without trial"
The modification was made at the
request of Kenneth Barnhart, repre-
sentative of Marshall Field & Co., of
Chicago, who called on the president
