sure he L. right before he goes ahead
I For that reason he summoned General
Miles from Tampa. much against the
lai,er's wishes. although the general

( ommnnder.In-chef As stated in

/ formed u pretty plan, with all details.
I but the President declined to approve
/ 1t until he had consulted General Milo
/ The latter arrived this morning In his
| private car. with its porcelain bAth
T tub and other luxurious nppnrtenances
/ that have been the cause OF criticism
and comment. but instead of settling
! the open question in n speedy manner
| he threw the whole game in CONFUSION
and upset the calculations Of the rest
| OF the department by the objections he
| raised to their plans.
