COLUMBUS, Jan. 5.-In the meeting of

preachers of claiming pay for praying at

ture. Neither branch of the latter

for such services. Rev. w. G.

after this work, but he declined with very

another, with no definite action taken by

TERRY AND CUSTER
The Formers Death Brings Up
Two Questions.
DID GEN, CUSTER DIsOBEY oRDERs9

And Did General Terry Suffer Criticism
Rather Than Cast Military Reproaeh
on His Gallant and Heroic Subordinate?
Statements Made by u Clergyman Start
Controversy Regarding the Battle of
the Little Big Horn-What Colonel
Hughes said on the subject.
NEw HAvES, Conn, Jan. 5.-Rev. Theo-
dore I. Munger, pastor Of the United
church of this city, ofiiciated at the funeral
services over the remains of Major General
Alfred II. Terry. In his memorial sermon
on that occasion he referred to the massa-
ere of General Clusters command, in June,
1876 as follows: Clusters fatal movement
was in direct violation of both verbal and
written orders When his rashness and
disObedience ended in the total destruction
of his command General Terry withheld
the fact of the disobeyed orders, and suf-
fered an imputation hurtful to his own
military reputation rather than subject a
brave but indiScreet subordinate TO a
charge of disobedience."
Hughes Admits Giving Information.
The statement caused a good deal of
comment at the time and has since been
frequently discussed in military circles.
The matter has again been brought to
prominence before the public by an article
in the January number of the Century
Magazine. The article was written by
James b. Frye, who, in commenting on
DIR. Munger's remark quoted above, says:
"When called TO account for the accusa-
ton which he made against one dead SOL
der at the Christian burial of another,
DIR. Munger gave Colonel X. p. Hughes, of
the United States army. "A brOther-n-law
of General Terry and for long time his
aide. rs the authority for his defamatory
assertion Colonel Hughes denies having
authorized DR. Munger to make the asser-
ton, though he admits that he was the
source of the doctors information"
DIR. Nunger's Statement.
Rev. Dr. Munger was seen Yesterday in
regard to General Fry's criticism. He
made the following explanations: Prior
to the funeral Colonel Hughes, in CONVEX
sation about General Terry and his con-
neCtion with the Inflated Indian wars said
that Custer had disubeyed both written
and verbal orders. He IHugheSl had lis
tened to the verbal orders and knew what
they We're. Colonel Hughes, however, did
not state to me the nature of the ORDERS
he simply stated that Custer had disObeyed
orders. Colonel hughes stated that he
several times urged General Terry to tell the
whole story of the affair, rs ii was due him
that the whole matter should be cleared up
Terry Thought He ConId stand 1t.
"Terry replied that he did not care to dis
close the facts a. he living. could stand
it better than General Custer, who was
dead. Colonel Hughes suggested that in
my remarks | should refer to the state
ment a. it was. THAT is the reason / did
so. That is all there is to it so far as am
concerned, Ii there is more to the story
it is likely that it will come from the sol
diers who knew the facts"

all that has been accomplished so far
has been the routing of GarZa's

policy of the revolutionary force when at

them. The woods would have to be swarm
