who believe that the controversy will

will cause the retirement of Secretary

as commander. The fight has, Ii is ad-

unfavorably to one or the other of those
In opposition.
Some army officers have said that
Gen. Miles place was not in direct COM
mand OF the troops, but at his desk In
the war department. They say he
should have been looking after the drill
and discipline Of 2S0.000 men while the
secretary Of war was looking after the
administration; that the handling OF
commands Of 10000 men should have
been intrusted to major generals or
brigadier generals, and Gen. Miles
should not have pressed himself for
