The alleged trouble between General
Miles and the War Department seems to
have very little foundation if it exists at all.
AS far as the relations between Generals
Miles and Shafter were concerned there was
no room for misunderstanding. General
Miles did not go to Santiago for the purpose
OF superseding General Shafter in the ac-
tive command of the army, but as the SUI
perior officer and commander of the army
he had an undoubted right to give any
orders he chose. 1t is not at all likely that
the War Department garbled or suppressed
any of General Miless dispatches. and thus
far there is no evidence that he has said so
or thinks so. The whole story has the APP
pearance of having been concocted by mis-
chief-maldng correspondents for sensational
effect.

sirable and necessary: but under other con-

The suggestion that Spanish should be
taught in the public schools for business
reasons is not well founded. English is al
ready the almost universal language of
commerce, and becoming more and more
so. 1t is far more important that the people
of our new possessions should learn Eng
lish than that American children should
learn Spanish.

Captain Vernon Gridley Is the first
American officer Of great prominence
whose death is n direct result of the
existing war with Spain. AS the COM
mander Of Admiral Dewey's splendid
flagship, and one of the admiral's chief
advisers, Captain Gridley achieved dis
tinction at the battle of Manila Bay,
and added to his previous laurels by
winning high praise from his superiors
In the service for distinguished gal
lantry and ability. He fought his ship
from the coming tower, while Adj
miral Dewey directed the movements
of his squadron from the bridge of the
vessel.
1t was not known for several weeks
after the engagement that Captain
Gridley hnd suffered from it; and even
now the precise nature of his trouble
Is not disclosed. Upon the arrival of
the Zaiiro mt Hong Kong on the Goth
OF May the Navy Department was mo-
titled that Captain Gridley had been
condemned by board of medical sur
vcy and ''invalided'' home. Subse-
quent adylces rec.ived by the depart
ment indicated that Captain Gridlcy
was suffering from the effects of n
rupture supposed to have been re-
ceived during the battle ut Manila, but
no details Were given. 1t was not
supposed that his Illness was very
serious, MS the department was in
formed that the captain. in company
with Paymaster Gait, would leave for
