went Accompanying the Letter Not Made
Public.
W'ashington, D. C.‘, Jan. 17.--Commi-‘-
nary General Eagan has sent to the
war inquiry commission a. revised
'stuiement in place of the one originally
made in response to General Miles’s
charges.
The statement is about thirty-five per
cent. shorter than that which was or-
dered withdrawn because of its violent
and abusive character.
he commisSion, after its receipt,
went into secret session to read the
document and decide whether; in its
present form, it had been expurgatcd
sufficiently to permit it to be made a
part of the commission‘s record.
Following ,is the text of a letter sent
by General Eagan 'to the ‘War commis-
sion with the statement:
Olfice of Commissary General of Sub-
sistence. . .
Washington, Jan. 14, 1899.
To the Commission appointed by the
President to investigate the conduct
of the War Department in the war
with Spain:
-Gentlemen: I have the honor ti.‘_
hand you herewith my testimony which
is now resubmitted and revised in ac-
cordance with the views expressed by
you in your letter to me of January
13; 1899.
The objectionable featuresand what
is considered irrelevant matter to you,
ins-which opinion I entirely agree, are
eiiminated. In this connection I desire
to state that there was never a desire
or intention on my part of any disre-
spect whatsoever to your commission,
but in explanation, and in extenuation
of the language used by me heretofore,.
I beg ’to invite the attention of the
commission to the fact that I have
been accused practically of feeding the
soldiers with poisoned beef, which
made them sick—”embalmed beef," so
called--that I have furnished meat to
the army under the “pretense of exper-
iment,” which charge in effect is cor-*
ruption, or .worse, because it jeopardiz-
es the lives of soldiers sen-t to the front
in tropical climates, and who were de-
pendent on such food as was sent to
them; that 'these statements have gone
to the .whole country uncon-tradicted;
that they have been published, and I
have been pilloried in the press of the
country as a man who had fed the
army on poisoned meat, and corruptly
so; that for almut%ree weeks’ time
I have kept silent for the reason that
I was debarred, after talking with the
honorable Secretary of TVar, from pre-
paring charges because of the immu-
nity granted by the president to wit-
nesses before your commission, not-
withstanding the gravity of the accu-
sations; that it is unreasonable to be-
lieve that such monstrous charges
could have any other effect than to
work upon an honorable man in such
a way as to goad him to a species of
desperation, and that it was but natu-
ral when the proper opportunity was
given him to meet and refute the char-
ges. that he should characterize them
in harsh language and in the terms
that are deemed improper no matter
what the provocation.
I, therefore, withdraw the language
and matter so objectionable, and re-
submit to you now my sworn state—
ment, with the abiding faith that your
commission, having all the facts be-
fore you, will decide the, points at is-
sue justly.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES P. EAGAN,
‘ Commissary General Subsistence.
he commission, after its executive
Sessmn, decided for the present to
make public only General Eagan’s let-
ter, and not the accompanying state-
menlt.

Miles-Eagan controversy. .
It is not yet definitely known wheth-

quiry will be appointed. The latter
would embrace an. investigation of the
merits ‘of the beef controversy, in ad—
language before the war investigating
commission. It~is possible, however,
that only a court martial will be or—
dered at this time. ’

Lim‘don. Jan. 17.--The London Daily
Mail prints the following dispatch,
from Odessa: ‘ .
Vi hile journeying north from Live.-
dia, Emperor Nicholas, during a break
for luncheon at Tooza. (capital of.thc
gov:rr.men-t of the same name in Cent
tral Russia), sen-t a delicately w‘orded
message expressing his desire to see
Count Leo Tolstoi- Contrary to expec-
ta'lions Tolstoi accepted‘the invitation
and soon appeared at the railway sta-
tion. ' A ' '
In his peasant‘s garb he presented a
striking contrast to the richly, dressed
entourage of the czar.
Emperor Nicholas kissed him on the
mouth and both cheeks, Tolstoi readily
responding. ’
Then a conversation commenced, the
czar asking his guest for an opinion
upon the imperial proposal for the lim-
itation of armaments. Count Tolstoi
replied that he could only believe in it
when his majesty should set the exam-
ple. to other nations.
On the czar mentioning the difficul-
ties of thelproblem, and the necessity
for the united aid of the'powers, the
count softened somewhat and express-
ed thehope that his majesty would be
able to attain some definite results, or,
at any rate, to formulateSome worka—
ble plan at the conference.
The czar, thanking him for his good
wishes, said- he would be pleased if
Tolstoi could be induced to lend his
genius to the solution of the question,
and the count rejoined that the em-
peror might count upon his co-opera-
tion, for he was already engaged upon
a work dealing with the question in
point, which would soon see the light.
GEN.STERNBERG’S RETURN. ‘
Reports to the President the Result of
His ()fliciai Visit to Havana.
- Washington, D. 0.. Jan. 17.--Surgeon
General Sternberg of the army return-
ed to Washington yesterday and re—
ported to the president the result of
his recent trip of inspection to Ha-
vana. .
, General Sternberg found the Ameri-
can troops in very good condition and
expressed himself as-satisfied with tin
general outlook there.
He is to arrange for the establish
ment of three hospitals in the suburbs
of Havana, intended for the treatment
of American soldiers in Cuba. One is
to be a big structure for the care of
sick men, another is to be for officers,
for yellow fever patients and sus-
pects.
General Sternbei‘g says that if the
extensive improvements of
the sewerage system of Havana. is at-
tempted at this time 'it will result in
no end of sickness among our own
troops and the other
he city. ;. .
“If this work is commenced now:-
“the rainy season will 001'“?
all the sewers exposed. A‘ general epi—
demic of fever would doubtless entail
most disastrous results. This0 work
should be postponed until next fall,
when an early start can be had."

Hotel Guests Quarantined.
Rochester, Jan. 17.--Great excitement
has been caused in this city by the
publication of {an order by Health Ofii-
cer Dr. Goler placing the Imperial Ho-
tel and its forty guests under quaran-
tine. und announcing that no one can
enter or leave the house for two
weeks. . -
Two cases of small pox were found
in the hotel, while a number of addi-
tional cases were traced, lit is said, to
the same source.
The first intimation of the cases was
a telephone message received by Dr.
Goler from Dr. Bingham of Charlotte.
It was to the effect that two cases of
small pox had been discovered in the
town of Greece, and that the patients
had come from the Imperial Hotel in

As soon as Dr. Goler received this
neWS he went to the hotel and made
an examination of the inmates. He
found two women, a. waiter and a sis—
ter of the proprietor having unmistak-
able signs of small pox. —
130th women were affected by the
disease in a mild form and had almost
recovered.
\Vhen the regular army officers were
here recruiting for the service a. num-
ber of recruits were sent to the Im-
perialrto' board until they could be for-
warded to the various posts assigned
them.
Among these recruits was Robert
Lewis, who was later sent to Fort
' where he is now suffering
from small pox.
He was ill over a week before the
