Miles PEOPLE CENSURE HIS COURSE The President Displays Bad Judgment— A Rebuke for Dewey, Schley and Miles—Rough Rider Tactics Not Approved During the past two weeks startling events transpired at Washington, grow- ing out of the Schley persecution. Last week we gave the report of the board of inquiry by which Ramsey and Benham condemned Schley who fought the battle at Santiago. Dewey, the hero of Ma- nila, upheld Schley and accorded him all the credit for the great victory. Schley and his attorney filed a long protest to the majority report citing wherein they bad ignored the testimony and were un fair, but secretary Long approved the re- port and censured Dewey for his find- | By this act the two men who faced | ings, ed the storm of shot and shell and reduc- the Spanish squadrons to wreckage without a loss, accomplishing the most brilliant naval victories on record, are insulted and humiliated by a designing clique at Washington.

When the Spanish war broke out, from his position as the | head of the army and his long and bril- | lant career in various campaigns, he was | the man that should have been sent to | Cuba, instead they sent old Shafter who | was unfit, bungled up the campaign and by rare luck the American forces escap- ed a humiliation, The politicians did | not want Miles sent there for fear he might win new laurels and endear him- | self with the public and upon his return | be awarded high political honors. During the Schley controversy Gen. | Miles expressed bimself as willing to ac- cept Dewey's estimate of Schley. Thus angered President Roosevelt, and Miles at once called on the President. When the old war dog reached the White House, in the presenee of a host of call- ers, President Roosevelt, before Miles could offer an explanation or finish the first sentence of his statement, in a vicious and undiguified manner, began scoring and censaring the gray haired old soldier with language that ouly would be appropriate to pugilists or ward heelers. Gen. Miles in a dignified man- ner turned and left the White House. Following this the President directed the Secretary of War to issue a stinging offi I rebuke to Gen. ot, the language of which was most offensive and the like cannot be found | on record, we doubt in any similar cir cumstance instead of an official repri- mand it was an intentional affront. These acts of President Roosevelt have | aroused a storm of indignation from one | end of the country to the other. They indicate that we have a hot-beaded, un- balanced, impetuous man at the head of the nation who in the short time he has occupied the exalted position has made 1t evident that be fails to compre. hend the dignity of his office or possess due deliberation in conducting public matters, and is devoid of common cour- %esy to his fellow men. The people appreciate the services of Admiral Dewey, Commodore Schley and Gen. Miles ; this censure and rebuke has only lowered their appreciation of the President, and elevated these three _Ereat heroes in the esteem of the peo- ple. As a sop to soothe these wrongs, Presi. dent Roosevelt ordered the dismissal of Historian McClay from the navy depart. ment, McClay is the tool who wrote the naval history of the late war in which he called Schley a *‘coward, “‘catiff,” “pol- troon” and it is said Secretary Long, and other prominent jealous naval attaches, including Sampson, read and approved the proofs. The above is a brief statement of the mess at Washington. Now strenuous efforts are being made to suppress dis. cussion of the entire affair, but it won't > “LOVE'S LABOR LOST.” Another Chapter in the Trials of Charles Ingram and Wife.
