Our array was encouraged by the coming of General Miles. It knew that for the future all would be right. They could die for General Miles and know It would be in the cause of good gener alship. General Miles in his quiet way upon arriving that same way that made old Chief Joseph ask, "Who is ihf s new wfcite chief that das come the other four were children this one stops my way?" told General Toral what must be done and said no more. He waited for General Toral to do it And a great and glorioas- Tie tory in given to Shatter. LetQiira have it Ail saSd before, God knows he seeds it. Now General Shatter is to be re called. He and his army are coming north to rest. As a matter of fact the secretary of war knows that not one regiment in Shatter's eommand is free from yellow fever. The Thirty-third Michigan, at the last report, had thirty-six cases. By this time that figure probably has doubled. This news' is all doctored up and suppressed. Why Tor various reasons; principal among which is the one that before the invasion commenced Secretary Al ger and the men. of the cabinet were fold that the scourge would meet our men, and it meant slaughter to send ihem there in summer. A member of the cabinet- told me don't ask who, for I cannot tell you that General Miles stood there and talked as he iever -talked before for- the postpone ment of the invasion until fall. He gave his views so strongly that be came near winning. .President" McKinley is running things aidw to suit himself. It is he who has sent General Miles to the treat. And the dark circles, under the President's eyes are' disappearing, and a weight is lifted from his heart. He 4elieve in General Miles. General Miles will work thoughtfully, and the pahlic will again ask, in all probabil ity, "What is he waiting for?" Why does he b1 do something?
