In view of conflicting statements

an official statement yesterday:
We are in receipt of Il letter from
the board of managers OF the National
Home for Disa bled Volunteer Soldiers
to the effect that Bowes' papers are
correct, and that he is eligible for ad-
mission into the Home. and soon as
they have gone over his application it

IN ell probability this will be receiv-
ed in few days, ana he will then be

! There have been a great many mis-
! statements III regard to this case. In
| the first place, the man has never been
debarrcd from landing at this port
! When he arrived here ne had little
money and no friends or relatives in
| this vicinity, and stated that he desir-
| ed to go TO Il Soldiers Home.
No action was taken by US in his
case under the Immigration laws ex-
cept to allow him to remain at the i'm
migration station until proper arrange
ments could be perfected inslIring his
admission to such 4 home. When Com
, missioner General Sargent was here
! two days later 1 took the case up with
, him. He asked me to send all the pa
pers to Washington so that he could
| take the matter up personally, which
was done.
We communicated with the war de-
partment and all the papers were sent
to the Home in New York. The papers
were then sent by them to me- l think
that the copy of his discharge must
nave Been overlooked by them at this
time. AS soon as the papers We're re-
celVed, | wrote to the managers of the
Home in regard to the case. and re-
ceived All answer that made me think
he was eligible.
There has never been any idea on
the part of this Office to daport the
man. We We're working to have done
for him what he desired, that is. TO get
nm INTO Soldiers Home. and the man
