the Appointment on the Peace
Commission.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-There is still
a possibility Of s.Ahange in the personnel

chusetts is being considered TO fill the va
cancy that would so result.

The mutilation and suppression of dis
patches are made plain by the publication
of the originals in the Star for the first
time. BY comparing them with those given
out by the War department it will be seen
that Miles kilograms were doctored in the
War department before being made public.
Every one OF the charges made by General
Miles is proved true by the offlciGI records
and facts well known to the American pub
lie. These facts cannot be ignored by the
people CT this country and their utterance
by the commanding general Of the army
cannot be set aside by the politicians with
q mere wave of the hand or discredted by
a general denial.
General Miles is expected home in a few
days. What he will do on his arrival. or
what the administration will do in regard
10 the controversy now raging about the
War department is difficult to say. The
breach is too wide to close. the sores are
too deep to heal. General Miles is a good
fighter. He has expressed himself quite
freely Of late in way that would indicate
that he expected music on his return and
was prepared TO face it. He has the best
OF the argument for he has the official
records. His opponents have the political
power. but there is a limit in a republic
to its insolent use.
