ashington, Sept. 2.——The war de-
tment is still in the thraldom of the
liticians. The efforts of the latter,
ich were exerted on behalf of staff
mmisslons, are now put forth in fa-
r of establishing new camps. Their
licy is_the more disastrous as it in-
ldes an attack on existing camps.
istressing stories are industriously
rculated to the manifest injustice of
manyxofilcers against whom all sorts of
'1arges are made. The report from
eneral Boynton on the conditions at
ickamauga has done a great deal to
niet the clamor against that camp,
nd has relieved surgeons and others
- the reflections upon their work and
their personal characters. Many of the
attacksmade on officers and the de-
criptions of conditions at certain
sums are directly traceable to poll-
'icians who would profit by the accept—
111ce of offers from land owners in
ther localities.
‘Representative Livingstone, Demo-
rat of Georgia, has been pointing out
0 newspaper men here the honors of
.l1ickamauga and denouncing its un-
nitary surroundings. He 11 as remin—
d by Representative Catchings, Dem--
rat of Missouri, that Gen. Boynton
uld hardly misrepresent the state of
airs there, and that, years ago, when
hickamauga was first talked of as a
ublic park, the Atlanta delegation,
caded by Mr. Livingston himself, then
s now on the House appropriations
ommittee, supported the proposal with
he argument that Chickamauga was a
ealth resort, 11 here in the event of a
great 11 ar troops could be sent for re—
cupenation.
Mr. Livingstone desires to have the
hoops withdrawn from Chickamauga
and sent to the Atlanta Exposition
rounds. He fears defeat in the com-
ng congi‘essional election, and a trans-
fer of camp to Atlanta would be a help
0 his campaign at this time.
Other suggestions for breaking up
xisting camps and establishing new
ones are "boomec " by the same sort of
influences, and the men engaged in
he traffic do not stop at any incrimin~
ting officers or blasting of reputations
0 accomplish their ends.
The history of this sort of business,
it were written out in full, “ould
form a curious chapter in the annals
of the war.

LINE OFFICERS BL AMED
War Department onielala Think Roz!-
mentul Colonels and Captains \Vero
Responsible for Bad Conditions of
Troops and Camps. the Matter Will
Be l'robod to the Bottom.
Washington, Sept. 2.—Secretary Al-
ger denies that he ever made any
statement criticising or commenting
upon the alleged interviews of General
Miles.
The secretary is particular to deny
the statement that he said the com-
manding general of the army would
be court martialled, and all that he
will say is that he did not believe
that General Mileshad made the state-
ment attributed to him. The secretary
says that he could not pay any atten-
tion, in his official position, to remarks
attributed to tthe commanding general
of the army in a newspaper article. The
secretary sayl: \ “m
“I did not say a word that would
indicate that I believe General Miles
had reflected upon the war depart-
ment, nor did I say anything about
a court martial or a court of inquiry.
I believe that General Miles has been
misquoted and imposed upon just as
I was in that fictitious interview pub-
lished to-day.”
There was a bitter feeling at the war
department yesterday morning, since
General Boynton's official report as to
alleged abuses at Chickamauga has
been published.
During the hysterical storm which
prevailed in a certain class of newspa-
pers in regard to the condition of the.
soldiers, the department kept quiet,
but started a thorough investigation
of some of the worst cases that were
reported.
It is felt at the war department that
in cases of neglect or bad condition of
troops this has been due to the line
ofhcers of the regiments alone.
The records will show, department
officials say, that every requisition or
request made by colonels of regiments
has been filled.
The department has relied upon colo-
nels and line officers of regiments to
keep it posted, and to keep the troops
under their immediate charge in good
condition.
The colonel is responsible for his
regiment, and the captains for their
companies. They are elected mainly
by the soldiers themselves.
The absolute denial of Colonel Hart
of the Eighth Ohio, of the falsehoods
that his command suffered from lack
of food on the way from Santiago to
Montauk Point is considered here an-
other proof of the recklessness of state-
ments which have'been made broad~
cast for tthe last few days.
The department will not rest with
the present investigation, but will go
to thte bottom of all stories and reports
now being made.
Officials at the war department
think that tmuch of the trouble which
has caused criticism is due to volun-
teer staff officers.
They do not reflect upon the ability
of these men, but simply state that
they were raw recruits in the service.
and were incapable of handling the
staff business of the army.
General Corbin foresaw the trouble
which would arise through the appoint
ment of volunteer staff force. His
plan from the start was to increase the
army to one hundred thousand men by
increasing the regiments.
These regiments, brigades and divis-
ions were all equipped with trained
staff. officers. The regiments could
have been doubled or tripled, yet the
commissary, Quartermaster and medi-
cal departments would have been able
to handle them.
