General corbin,s Statement.


 In his interview General Corbin stat ed in substance that Mir. Taft was in no way responsible for the order dis. charging the battalion of the Twenty. fifth infantry and that in doing so the then secretary of war had obeyed the direct order of the president. GeneraI Corbin then recounted the circum. stances as they occurred and were published following the Brownsville affair.
 No information regarding the two i'm portaut conferences in which President Roosevelt engaged at Sagamore Hill could be gained later from any of those who participated.
 Secretary of War Wright and Colo mel Hugh L. Scott superintendent of the West Point Military academy. talk cd with the president about the cases of the eight cadets recently suspended for haZing It is believed that the sec retary maintained his earlier position that clemency might be shown without violence to military discipline and that Colonel Scott held to his former and contrary opinion. The president is supposed to have sought a thorough exposition of both sides of the matter If a final decision was reached it was scrupulously withheld from the news paper men and will be announced prob ably from the war department on Mon- day.
 Hitchcock Sees the President.
 Chairman Frank Hitchcock discussed politics with the president hut he too was noncommunicative when seen later. He declared that the president had shown great interest in the plans for the Republican campaign generally and that the state situation had been considered. Beyond that Mir. Hitchcock said he could not talk. and he would not admit that any conclusions were reached as to whether Mir Roosevelt and his advisers were for or against a renomination for Governor Hughes. It is understood that the policy of Mir Hitchcock in listening to what every body has to say on both sides of the Hughes question was approved by the president and that the latter advised that this course be continued.
 Great interest was shown in political circles here in the story printed in Chicago that Elmer E Dover. secre- tsry of the national committee. had re- signed his position Mir Dover arrived fin New York. accompanied by Mrs. Dover. who was about t0 sail for Eu- rope. The Chicago dispatch was shown to him- and he denied that he had re- signed. He derlinetl to say what he would do in the future
