BOOTH-rUCKER PROTESTS

Says Army Is Not Responsible for
s.s Sister.in-Iaw's Collapse.
Commander Booth Tucker, of the saliva
tion Army. has sent the following TO a
New York paper:
I'VE are not msensihle to the staten en.s
that fill toihr's papers. 1t appears evi-
dent that they have been given out from
the Volunteers headquarters, and those
responsible for these reports must know
how calculated they are to excite public
prejudice against the Salvation A Amy and
its toilne thousands throughout this conn
try. Especially is this the case in regard
to the attenpt which has been made TO
attribute the lameDtcd illness of Mrs. la l.
lington Booth to. the treatment she has
received from the salvation Army aud its
leaders. A.
I'VE have no desire whatever to reflect
upon the press Ior its representatives for
statements which have undou btedly come
to them in the-ordinary course of news.
We know, however, that great paper
such a. yours gives to the ordinary report
a far-re3 ching platform from which to
address multitudes of readers. Men and
organizations cun be either marrsd or
blessed, SO far as the public mind is Con-
cerned. by accounts thus scattered hroa J.
cast. We arc fully aware, also, thlt an
editor is in a position to Obtain the real
facts regarding any particular matter. as
few have it in their power to do.
Nov I am persuaded th.it when the III
tegrity and success OF 4 Christian and
humane organization is at stake, and that
of one upon the principles and actions
of which tens of thousands hang their
hopes for this world and the next, you
VIII do us the Justice to see that the real
facts are elected SO far as We are con
cerned
You will, believe, commend us for not
rushing into print with every word that
might lead to controversy. We have
studf'isly endeavored all along to avoid
an ything of the kind and we do n OF now de
sire 1t. We have repeatedly expressed the
assurances OF our love and sympathy to
Commander and Mrs. B;iliincton Booth in
this great trial, and we shall continue to
do 50. We ask. however, is it fair, after
n lapse OF nearly two years, to attribute
this illEess, which we deplore, to the
Salvation Army? With sincere apprecfa-
ton for the help you have heretofore
granted our devoted people in the prose-
cution of their work.

There is little of reassuring character
to the Trends OF the autonomy scheme, in
the news from Spain or Cuba. in the first
place. there is~a growing suspicion in
Madrid that tie decree itself was base
imitation of Secretary Ga ge's retroactive
attempt to put a law int D effec. before
it had been made one 10y the American Con
gress. Everyone in Spain, as well as in
this country, knows that Sagasta's ''au.
tonomy'' liz a wind pudding until it is
time next year, but nobody, at least
I'm Spain, has any idea that the Cortes
will do anything Of the kind. and all classes
resent Sagasta's action as a piece OF base
minist er Of ocular and paretic proclivities.
Nevertheless, the game is being kept up
betweei: the cabinets OF Madrid and Wash
ihcton with Gust stomary and SNUG hypocrisy.
The latest note from oar Government, de-
claring its ardent friendship and detail
ing its earnest efforts to assist Spain in
crushing liberty, is being considered on the
other side, ard Senor Guilon, minister OF
foreign affairs, will frame an answer, but
will use up as much tim. as spossible in doing
SO. In Cuba the Havanese Spaniards cele
brated Christmas Eve by Il demonstration
AGAINST the ma tiOn which uses its whole sea
power to help their atrOciOus cause. The
patriots, on the other hand, are occupying
themselves, during the holiday season, in
taking towns, and whipping Spanish col
umns as usual That of Gen. Parade,
which went out from Havana a few days
ago to clear out Gen. Aranguren, has re-
turned ir o disheartened and demcralized
condition, manifestly having encountered
adventures not specified.
