Ektgan yesterday commission permitted the representatives of the presa to read the statement and It was formally announced to the newspaper men that Gen Eagan had eliminated ah ob jectionable

made to your commission by the renter major general of the States army Nelson A Ha details the amazement and surprise he experienced when mformed that Gen Miles has selected 1 Black volunteer officer totally de void of experience in the subsistence depart as his staff commissary instead of Maj Osgood ti hd was first chosen for that post by Gen Miles He refers to "a very ordinary commonplace telegram sent bj Gen Mlles to his adjutant general here in Washington about June 7 inquiring what subsistence stores were at Tampa' Gen Eagan says he made formal written reply to hie but was amazed next morning to see in thfe newspapers that Gen: Mlles had found it necessary to send a serious reprimand to Wash ington "I have to state" says Gn 17afab7C no such reprimand was ever received by me from Gen Mlles nor any other general an 1 that CJen Mlles has authority in his eom mltwrton or In bls position under the law ot regu latlons to send reprimands to me that this imaginary repri mand was published in the he contlnnee "Gen Mlles from that day to this has never In any shape or form although I have blm taken occasion to express any regret for the statements made In the papers about the

discussion of Gen statement asofshortness of funds tn Rico Gen Eagan again takes up the beef question and declares that it was good beef and officer no matter what hta rank falling to use proper

Gen Eagan denies this and points Ont that Gen Niles gives It as his judgment he merely expresses his judgment that way I cannot take further Issue with that state ment than to dispute Geh Eagan declares that Gen Shafter cabled aaM Aw rtf Tg t'afcr pd not embalmed that arrived at Santi ago one da aner the port was opened he says "has repeatedly In person expressed to tne hta profound gratitude and ap preciation of the fine beef which he calls finest be ever this same refrigerate i beef rot embalmed beef that to spoken of by Gen Mlles tn his statement made to your commission The statement of the character ot the cattlt in Cuba or in the Island ot Porto Rico needs no further Illustration by Upon the question2 Ot tha refrigerated beef Gen Eagau says "Gen Mlles testified that 327 tons of this re frigerated bef might be called This statement means In effect a charge of dla honesty and corruption on the part of the msn who furnished It That i what I have to say in regard to calling It embalmed Gen Eagan says Gen Miles gives what pur ports to be the statements of fourteen officers expressing dissatisfaction with the canned fresh beef says he not infoim tl "investigation commission how he obtained theni nor does he Inform the commission that these" adverse reports on? this article of food were furnished to the war department for its Information that it might take proper steps in the matter If the statements made by the officers quoted hy him were coriect" Gan Eagan submits that such Invitations to i'ii''' Crltlclre hre apt to procure adverse criticisms and would be taken as evidence of desire for ad verse retorts report that can be met and refuted if It is false a report that it untrue can be held duly accountable for a rejKirt that be of value to the government and serve tn guide it in future purchases report of things in existence that can be examined and tested' tan repeats his former statement of thankfulness that land never gave and 'never will thank God the purse In addition to the sword to any general and whenever congress fe permits any general be he whomsoever he may to control the purse as well as to wield the wword that day the mistake of this country will tie made nnd that day designing men with military command and the purse of the United States at their disposal may set themselves up and do things that this country Is and always has been afraid to" As to of an charged by Gen Miles In connection with the tinned beef Jen Eagan says: "Gen Miles in saying that this food was tent to the as a for experiment says that which Implies corruption which 13 out of every 100 people will understand to mean cor ruption because II was a of experi ment he says not even giving: credit to me for furnishing it as an exjerlment but that I furnished it under 'the pretense ot an expert Thia is a serious charge and should not be made by any man lightly nor without ample evience to support it Taking the statement in the sense that was probably intended the sense that hae been accepted by the press of the coun try iriueea i call for my dismissal from court I answer that ntahed under the pretense nor even as an experiment Shippers from ports at the head of Lake Su perior covered more ore Monday by lake freight contracts The ore which will be moved in May June July and August will ba carried at 55 cents a ton There Is more short season ore on the market at the same figure and own ers were Monday offered blocks to be carried in June and August That would leave the boats free in May to carry grain It better rates were offered In that trade Shippers fig ure that any concession from the 60 cent rate is a good things No season chartering from Mar quette or Escanaba has been reported but quite a little figuring is being done and the indica tions are lliAt some tonnage will bo lined up during the next few days Everything points to a IC cent rate from Escanaba and vesselinen do not appear to be anxious to tie up for less than cents for the full seasep from Marquette As yet only one shipper has asked for blds on blocks of coal Owing to the large amount of coal tonnage that was taken oft the market dur ing the past year by total losses and the vessels that were sent to the coast vesselmen are linn and say they will bold out for better rates than have been paid for several seasons past A lead ing owner said Monday that an effort would be made to have owners who carry coal to stand for 30 cents on to the head of I rike Superior and 40 cents to Portage and the leading Lake Michigan ports on season contracts It Is ex pected that some chartering will be done before the close of the week Grain carriers are in fair demand at Chicago and Milwaukee and the rate on corn for winter storage and spring delivery is firm at 2 cents The steamer John Owen was chartered for a straight load'at Milwaukee Monday at that fig ure Chicago shippers are taking tonnage pretty freely and if chartering is as active for the next few weeks as it was last week all the boats available will be placed Last week capacity for 1500 tXK) bushels of corn was placed at hi cents to Buffalo Saturday room was taken for 130000 bushels of Corn to Kingston at 44 cents NN i th perhaps a few exceptions vessel agents at Chicago and Milwaukee have reached the con clusion that the Buffalo rate on corn for winter storage and spring delivery will not go above 3 cents A Cleveland vessel owner who has looked over the ground carefully at Chicago is of the same opinion The shippers he says claim that the railroads will all the corn they want to send forward at 3 cents and that If the vcsselmen want the business they will have to keep below that rate The available tonnage is being picked up rapidly and If the market is as active for the next few weeks as it has been for several days past the entire Chicago fleet will be under charter At noon Monday the steamers A Nimick and John Owen were placed for about 210000 bush els of
