Chicago, May 2e-Mrs. George M. Pullman has renounced the terms of her husbands will and chosen her dow- CT share.

GENERAL WOODFORD SPEAKS
VICTORY AND DEFEAT CHANGE MAP

Condition in Which War Found That
 People-What the Result of This Pres-
 ent War Will be Upon the World No
 Man Can Determ
 New York, May 26.-The Academy of Music in Brooklyn was filled tonight with friends of General Stewart U. Woodford, United States minister to Spain. The occasion was a reception rendered him by the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. Former Minister schien presided and read letters of re- gret from President Mckinley and Mayor Van Wyck. The opening ad- dress was made by the Rev. Richard s. Storrs. General Woodford, in the course of a. brief speech, said:
 War is here, and war has never left any people in the condition in which war found that people. Both victory and defeat change the map of the world. What the result of this war shall be upon the world and upon us no man can determine. Still one re- suit seems already assured As our civil war made us one in territory from lake to gulf so this war with Spain has already made us one in patriotic purpose and one in our national life. Even war, with all it's terrible cost.
 may prove a small price for such an unspeakable result of blessing"

STAINS CABINET FOR PEACE
NEW MINISTER OF AEARINE'S DEC-
 LARATION TO THE CORTES.
He Is Reported as Saying s'That When an Opportunity Presents Itself the Cabinet Would Not Fail to Do It's Best to Bring About an Honorable Peace'' -Dominent Note in Madrid Said to be for Peace.

London, May 27.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Daily Mail says: "The political outlook is brighter, and the ministerialists believe that a cabinet crisis can be averted. Captain Aunon, minister of marine, declared in the cor tes to-day, (Thursday), that when an opportunity presented itself the cabinet would not fail to do it's best to bring about an honorable peace"
 The Madrid correspondent of the Times says: 'The dominant note of public opinion here is a desire to find some way to honorable peace, as Spain
 has nothing to gain by an indefinite

"The Americans" he says, will experience no difficulty in landing troops and will be joined by the insurgents. Nor is there any doubt
 that Rear Admiral Sampson will strike a heavy blow shortly. The insurgents would rather accept annexation by the
 United States than the autonomy which Spain would grant. Before another week the Americans will be masters of Havana and firmly established in Cuba

to prevent the sands blowing over the

fence fifteen feet high to keep the sands
off the railroad tracks and telegraph
poles, and the work is much needed in
Oregon and Washington. Professor

MILEs-ALGER CONTROVERSY
May Take the Course of a Military
Court Of Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-When
General Miles returns to Washington
he will be asked for an explanation Of
recent interviews appearing, and the
publication Of certain dispatches which
the War Department has not made
public. Whether the investigation will
take the course of a military court of
inquiry or Of private interview with
the President, the Secretary of War
and General Miles remains still to be
seen. Until the arrival of General
Miles the War Department will not
discuss the matter.
Secretary Alger does not propose to
discuss matters effecting General
Miles during his absence. The Sec
retary is Of the opinion that Cen
eral Miles made public the dispatches
of the Secretary. General .Shafter and
himself published this morning. Such
action he regards as a breach of mill
tary regulations, but no court can Sc
cure proof that General miles made
public the dispatches, if he and the
person to whom they were furnished
refuse to give information, as several
military trials have made it settled law
that no military court can compel a
to do so.
General Miles also may be called to
account for the interview with him,
as, unless disavowed, they will place
him in the attitude of criucising his
superior officers and subject him Il
military discipline.
The publication of the dispatches toi
day, taken together with the previous
interviews in the Kansas City Star,
were the topic Of conversation among
officers of the War Department, and
already there is a disposition by some
to take sides in the matter, while 9th.
ers deplore the conditions as tending
to lower the tone of the army and to
do irreparable injury to the service.
It is expected that the controversy
will extend TO both Houses of Cangress
and it is feared will have an adverse
effect upon legislation which will be
asked to better the army. 1t is gen
orally understood that the regular
force will have to be largely increased
at least until the conquered ISLANDS
are disposed of, and 1t is feared that
legislation in this direction will be
hampered by the controversy between
