Gen. Eagan of the War Department
continued his testimony before the
War Inquiry ComrrliSSion yesterday.
He urged that the Subsistence De-
partment should control the trans-
portation of all its own supplies and
furnishing of means for cooking and
eating. He said that the Secretary of
War' approved! a. bill authorizing the
Subsistence Department to build and
furnish bake-ovens, mes equipment,
etc., which were much needed. He
thought the Quartermaster General's
Department was overburdened with
duties innumerable.
that the British army was not as well
fed by any means as our own, and
that rations already provided the
United States soldiers Were satisfac-
tory, with the possible addition of died
fruits.
He spoke of the constant and urgent
lmull‘ortunlties, which he said some-
times amounted to persecution, that
various articles of food be added to the
regular rations. These importunitics
were backed by strong support and
heavy capital. One well known Sen-
ator, Whose name be withheld, he said
had proposed and insisted on one ar-
ticle being added, which he claimed
would cost only about one con"; a. ra-
'tion. While this might be SI, for the
'Whole army its cost would mount to an
amazing figure.
He said he believed that beer should
