Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1898-06-27

Having been a soldier himself Pres.
ident Mckinley knows the difference
between moving an army in an ene-
my's country and moving it on paper
and does not share the impatience ex-
pressed by those entirely ignorant OF
military movements because General
Shafter is not wasting any time, and
that he will strike the minute that
his army is in the position to strike a
decisive blow, be that today, tomorrow,
or next week Our army is there and
it is going to win, and to clinch the
certainty of victory several thousand
troops are now on the way to rein
force Shafter. They are being sent
on the fast auxiliary cruisers, Yale
and Harvard. etft
President Mckinley is at a loss to
know why the reports of his lack of
confidence in Gen. Miles continue to
be circulated. He has several times
recently taken occasion to express the
confidence he felt in General Miles,
and Secretary Alger has done like
wise.

1t is not all likely that the newspaper
correspondents who are with Gen.
Skaters army will make use OF the
ca station ut Guanatanama Bay to
send fish stories to their papers, as the
cable rate from that point TO New York
is s1.46 per word The cable is now
open to press and commercial matter,
subject to censorship by a United States
officer, but only when the cable is not
being used for government messages.
The reopenipg of this cable, which be-
longs to and is now being operated by
a French company, was decidedly
pleasing TO President Mckinley and
every body else in Washington, as 1t
keeps the government in direct COM
munication with Admiral Sampson and
Gen. Shafter and in touch with every
movement in the campaign against
Santiago, now being energetically
pushed.
