WASHINGTON, Aug. sO.-When Gea-

be asked for an explanation Of recent In
tervleWS appearing with him, and the
publication of certain dispatches which
the war department has not made pub
lie. whether the investigation will
take the course OF a military court of
Inquiry or OF a private interview be-
tween the President. the secretary Of
war and General Miles, remains yet to
Nbe seen.
Until the arrival of General Miles the
war department will not discuss the
matter. Secretary Alger says that the
department viii not enter into any con-
tr5yeEsy with Its subordlnates, and he
does not propose to discuss matters af-
teeting General Miles during his abb
seaee:
The department Is of opinion that
General Miles made public the dis
patches Of the secretary, General Shat
ter and himself. published this morning.
Such action It regards as a breach of
military regulations. but no military
court can secure proof that General
Miles made public the dispatches II he

nished refuse to give the Information, as

The publication of the dispatches to-
day taken together with previous inter-
views in the Kansas City Star, were the
topic OF conversation among officers of

Is a disposition by some to take sides in
the matter, while others deplure the
conditions as tending to lower the tone
Of the army and to do lrreparable In
jury to the service. 1t Is expected the
controversy win extend to both houses
Of Congress and 1t is feared will have an
adverse effect upon legislation which
win be asked to better the army. It is
generally understood that the regular
force will have to be largely increased,
at least until the conquered Islands are
disposed Of and 1t is feared that legisla-
ton In this direction will be hampered
by the Inevitable controversy between
the secretary of war and the general
commanding the army,

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Jan. IA, --Advices

KANSAS Cry, NO., Jan. a. Miss Ida
York died last night at the home of
her mother, 6O4 East Sixteenth street.
The girl was Of deeply religious ma
ture and was an active member of the
Emanuel Lutheran church. Three
weeks ago she fell sick. but refused to
call physician. She would not listen
to her mothers suggestions, but
persisted in hearing her suffer

believed in the faith cure. She had
listened to the teachings OF Rev. A.
J. Gordon and Rev. John S. Detwiler.
She declined to be treated by q physi.
clan, her faith being shared in part by
her mother. To her prayers she trust
ed her life, believing she would be
cured without the aid of medicine or
doctor She grew worse each day, but
still persisted in her determination to
leave all to the divine healer. With
out her knowledge physician was
