The trnttt sleeted McKinley and they
bad to bava their money back. That i
a truism that no iair man will deny,
ben the war broke out they saw a
scheme to tors over a few millions to the
... meat trust and Algor and bit contereri
tt about It Id great baste. After the
thing was over and there was a general
protest oaneed by the horrible treat
ment ol the soldiers, it became neoeesary
to appoint a whitewaehing . committee,
tieneral Miles prepared and eubmitted a
memorandum for the dm of that com
mittec. They took the paper and shoved
it In a pigeon bole and it new taw the
Jlght until the other - day. it was a
follows: ' ; , '.
i "1. The life-giving properties In tbe
"lood of armies up to the time - of the
Kpaaisb-Amerlcan war have been chiefly
'' obtained from tbe flocks and herds of
the country.
, "2. The great armtes of tbe civil war
and tbe Indian expedition were fed
; apon tbe herds of cattle .which accom
i paaied tbero. '"
"8. It was perfectly practicable to
have had at all times herds of fat cattle
at every camn In tbe United States.
"4, At no time during the war was
titer any emergency. The war was an-
tfdpatad for months, before It occurred.
Coagrees, by unanimous rote bad ap
rroprlated $50,000,000 for national de
late; tad it was perfectly well known to
every military man that aa tbe troops
were called Into service tbey would re
! food, raiment and sauiDmsnt
"6. It was equally well known that
Ccaenrices wotld be required In the
tr.'-'JS. and not in the arctic regions.
d. It was also well known that beef
rte wosld be shipped by train or
trrteport, whererer troops, moles and
L"MWcs wsra moved.
r1. The travel ration which has been
' tzzS toe years, composed of corned beef,
I :m. tread coffee, etc., bad been thor.
cr'hly tested and found satisfactory
- 1 is in e-eneral nse today,
3. The fact bad been known for
ytsrttbat In Cuba a million and a ball
ci reoole and a Quarter of a million of
v . f -n!ch troops (in their military opera-
tjsrsdnrina-ths last three rears) bad
t wind pally fed upon the cattle of
' - Czli tad those that bad been shipped
la tie Drtttd States and South Amer
jtzr-lxt t!at that the Caban
k. r-1 10,000 troops under General
L kad 'marched and maneuvered
r " :S the epanieh forces in eastern
I .1.1 retained principally by cattle
t-tt-'ompaniedthem. ?
J. It was also known that nearly
rraa of dsodIs and 16.000 troops In
Porto Kleo bad lived upon tbe herds
with which that Island is abundantly
stocked: and, in addition to this, that
cattle wen exported irom tbeieiano,
the same as tobacco, coflee and sugar.
"10. Instead of supplying tbe troops
darins this war as other armies have
been supplied, with wholesome food (of
which there was an Inexhaustible supply
in tbe country), there was feathered up
all of the canned food possible, much of
which bad been etored for years In tbe
warehousea of the Baltimore &. Ohio
railroad, in other places and in foreign
storehouse, aud falflely labaled Trims
KoastDeef.' when there wae not an
ounce of roast bf and not an ounce .of
prime beet contained In the cans. It
was meat of ths most inferior grade or
tbe boiled pulp Irom which beef extract
bad been made, and the cans were filled
up with grease or tallow, making a sub
stance unpalatable, nauseating, offen
sive and unfit for human food eo nau
seating, in faot, that after a few efforts
to eat It the troops wont huugry rather
thaa try to live upon this vile etuff. In
many wwea It caused sickness, and in In
numerable cases tbe troope were made
weakbythoc being supplied In lieu of
having suitable and wholesome food.
"11. Itlatru that a small amount
of canned roast beet was purchased lor
experimeat with small detachments of
tbe army prior toinutj, but owing to
the unfavorable reporte it bad been
abandoned and not purcha! lor lour
years prior to tbe war, and tbrong.fi tbe
many reports mat nave wwn rowiTea
by thorn who have tried it during the
war aad almost universally condemned
It, it KM bees abandoned as a part ol
the ration, and the only aes sow made
gl w to laeae It to tbe starving; I'nbaaa.

well established fact: but ths extent of
snch Injury upon the health and lives of
toe troope oannot well be measurea.
"15. While our troops wsre thus de
prived of wholesome food, many parties
were ready to supply tbem at all times
and io all camps in this country and on
foreign stations with any number of
cattle. It is also a faot that during
these very months In which our troops
were serving In Cuba there were shipped
from tbe Atlantic and gulf porta upward
of 87.000 of the beet beef cattle pro
duced In tbe United States and sent
across tbe Atlantio to foreign market
enough beef to have supplied the troops
sent from Tampa to Santiago for thir
teen years. ,! .
"10. Thess facta have been estab
lished beyond question, and we believe
that great fraud has been perpetrated
upon the government and a great crime
committed upon Its soldiers; and as to
the party or parties who have commit
ted this offense, and whether tbe evi
dence should be referred to the Judicial
officers of tbe government, in order that
luetics shall be dons, are matters that
we leave totne consideration oi your
honorable court."

Roberts was married to Allen Denton
at Iola yesterday The bride confessed
at we altar that sue aid . not toe wan
bit love the man whom aba was to
marry, but she was only marrying him
to keep a mortgage from tailing doe and
tAkinsr their old homestead.
Deatoa was the possessor of this
mortgage, and be said be would cancel
tbe same if Miss ttoberts would beoome
bis bride. , .
Tbe girl's parents objected and want
ed to move out of the home which bad
been theirs for tbe last bait century.
Tbs girl studied several days over tbe
proposition and finally decided to sacrt
iee herself to save tbe borne.
History will record that la the times
of McKinley prosperity beautiful girls
sold themselves to preserve a borne for
their fathers and mothers.

News of tbe Veeli
The statement In the Independent last
week that an effective censorship was
Impossible In this age of the world and
that McKinley 's attempt to establish
one in tbe Philippines would prove abor
tivshaa provsn true. John. T. McCut
cheon, who has been the most reliable
correspondent in Manila since tbe war
began, has evaded tbe military dicta
torship and managed to get an unoen-
sored dispatch through to his paper by
sending it to HongKong and cabloing
it under British protection. ; , '
The conditions of affain in the Phllp-
pines is jost as baa been represented all
along in the columns of this paper. The
bombastic reports of Oen. Otis are utter
ly discredited by this dispatch. Mr. Mo
Cutobeon first malut a detailed state
meat of tbe claims of Geo. OUs and then
specifically denies every one of tbem. He
says; . ... , ' t , -
"It la represented by tbe military au
thorities that matters are moving on
prosperously and that the Filipinos are
sick and tired of tba war. Tba Insur
gents army la reprtnted as a psek of
brigands and rotter chiefs, aad these
leaders are said to be quarreling among
tbemsclvss, being suable to bold their
foroes together much longer, They say
that tbe war would be brought ton
dose promptly If the wet season would
bold off a little longer, Tbey say tba
number of troops now at band la nfl
cient for every purpose. They say that
business Is Improving and peace return
ing In spite of Agoinaldo and bis man
Tbey say tbat tbe scattered forest of
ths insurrection bavt been deprived ol
resources and tbat tba insurgent leaders,
acting only from motives of selfish per
sonat ambition, keep op their spirits
merely In tbe bops which comes to tbem
from tba anti-annexation sentiment ex
pressed in tbs United Btates."
Ia effect Mr. MoCotchson aays tbat
thess officers wllfaUy falsify, or la. other
word's they do not differ from tbe ordi
nary political liar io the states. Hear
bim:
"Tbs offloers In tbe field know tbat ibe
Filipino troope are aggresslvs and full
of spirit Tbe thoughtful men In Manila
know tbat tbe rigid press oonsorsblp
and tbe Washington bulletins do not in
tbe least striks terror to the bosom of
Aguioaldo and bis men. Tbs ontlook
at the present time ie more gloomy for
the speedy ending of the war than ever
before. The inrurgen ts still have a good
organization, and their resources are
not materially impaired. The failure to
sweep the fertile rice country above San
Ferando to tbe cost has left Immense re.
sources in the hands of tbo enemy.
Therefore tbey can continue tbo war in
definitely. The only true method o'
pacifying tbe country is to garrison all
tbs important towns. It will take many
more thousands of troops to do that"
After this clear statement bs gives tbs
number of effective troops now available
for service in tbe islands, which hs says,
alter deducting ths killed, wounded and
sick, are six thousand men. Tbat Is all
that Is left of that brave fighting army
that at first numbered about 80,000.
After all the blood shed, all ths cost and
all tbs suffering both at boms and In the
Pbitippines, we are worse off thaa when
ws began the fight. It ever a eet of men
deserved tbe curses of all tnanklud It is
those who brought on this war with tbs
Filipinos, as well as tboss who bars at
tempted to dlve the people of this
country by thnir press censorship aad
their aeparalellad lying.

Imperialism got aa awful black eyt at
ths'.Omaha Exposition around on tbe
Fourth. Oen. Wheeler had been adver
tised as tbe attraction. It waa known
that hs favored the McKinley policy and
it waa thought to bt a great atroke tol
get bim for a speech. All tbe soldiers in
tbe Spanish war tbat could bt Induced
to attend were there, but when Wheeler
began to press tbe Imperialistic queetlon
too bard although tbey were all dis
posed to traat blin courteously all the
returned members ol the First regiment
got up and went ont. They were fol
lowed by all tbe others wbo could get

When be got through there were but lew

MILITARY ADVISERS
President UoXlolcy hot no tocpttott
military advisers. Tbt war bat tot
managed by men Incompetent to mat
It and some of them are unworthy of
high places. President McKinley 's ad
visors have been a secretary of war wbo
bas never conducted a military cam
paign, and whose dishonorable dismissal
from tba army waa recommended by
Generals Custer, Mstritt and Sheridan,
an assistant secretary of war wbo Is
without military experience; and an ad'
iutaotseneral.wbo waa officially de
clared in tbe civil war to be "unfit to
command brave men,"
From tbe beginning of tbe war with
Spain to tht present military advise of
our foremost soldier bas been asked but
once aod tbat was on July 8,1898, when
the oresldeut turned ia terror to (Jeneral
Mile and beaued bim to eave Hhafter's
defeated army. Thus it happens that
while Uenersl Milee Ie wltbln easy access
ol tbe president and ever ready to serve
bis eountrv. bis splendid abilities are ig
nored, and the country is deprived of ths
beat military skill.
Oeueral Miles will go wherever be is
ordered. But ll hs goes to Manila, lis
will go there knowing that there is left
btbliid bliu In Washington a man wbo
would bs ilubls to reaort to any rues to
