When the Interview with General Mile wan published, Secretary Root, by Instruction of the preideiit. called upon the general for an explanation which wait made In writing. The formal reprimand 1 contained in a letter from Secretary Root to General Milea, In which the aecretary nays: Tour explanation of the public atate ment mad by you 1 not aatlsfactory. Tou are In error If you nuppoae that you have the name rlicht a any other citizen to exprea publicly an opinion regarding official question pending In the course of military discipline. The established and invariable rule of official propriety necea aary to the effective discipline of the aerv tce Impoiie limitation upon the public ex preaalon of military officer, with which your long experience ahould have made you familiar. Your duty I to expreaa your opinion on official matter when called upon by your official Muperlor or In the due courae of j your official report arxl recommendation and not otherwise. Tha first article of the regulation governing the army of the United Htat-s provides: "Deliberation or discussion among mil itary men conveying pralae or cenure or any mark of approbation toward othera In the military service are prohib ited." The present fact are that for several yean there had been an unfortunate and bitter controveray In the navy department - controversy generally deplored even by the participants, a tending to bring the aervlc Into dlsesteem at home and abroad and to deatroy those relation of mutual Influence nnd friendship between naval offlcem which the Intereat of effective service require. In thlM controvery tha army had not been Involved, and no bar had been raised to that good feeling and friendly relation between all the officer of the navy and all the officer of the army which Is essen tial to the successful and harmonious co operation of the two services In prepara tion and In action. A court of Inquiry had been held on the matters In controversy, and a report had been made In which one member of the court had dissented In some particulars from the majority, and the report wo pending before the review ; tng authority. At. this point you, the lieutenant general of the army, saw lit to make a public ex pression of your opinion as between the majority and the minority of the court, accompanied by a criticism of the mot severe character, which could not fall to be applied by the generality of readers to the naval officer against whose view your opinion was expressed. It Is of no conse quence on whose side your opinion was or what It was. Secretary Root concluded his letter with this Hbarp reproof: You hud no business In the controversy and no right, holding the office which you do, to express any opinion. Your conduct was In violation of the regulation above cited and of the rules of official propriety, and you are Justly liable to censure, which I now express. SECRETARY LONG'S AITROVAL.
