WASHINGTON, Dec Ex-senator Frye
talked today to Star reporter with respect
to the conditions attending and resulting
from the peace negotiations.
With respect to the frequently-repeated
statement in press dispatches that the SEN

England, was opposed to the United States
and looked with disfavor upon the attitude
of this government in dealing with Spain,
Senator Frye said:

sentiment appeared to be confined to the
press, which does not reflect the sentiment
of the nation nor the people generally"
'''Do you think there will be any restora-
ton of cordial relations between Spain and
the United States?"
II think that very soon after the ratiica-

GREENE'S PREDICTION
There Will Be Disorder During the
Transfer


Transfer
WASHINGTON, Dec W-Major General
Francis E. Greene, U. S. A, accompanied
by his aide, Lieutenant Schieffelin, Forty
seventh New York volunteer infantry,
passed through this city today on their way
from Havana to New York city.
General Greene paid flying visit to the
war department and spent about an hour in
consultation with Adjutant General Corbin
in regard to the condition of affairs in the
Cuban capital. He said there would un
Goubtedly be trouble in the maintenance
of order pending the transfer of the control
of affairs from the Spanish government to
the United States military authorities, but
he din not anticipate that it would reach
proportions beyond the control OF the
American forces. According to his repre-
sentatons, the feeling between the Span
iards and Cubans is intensely bitter, seri-
GUS rupture between the two factions now
being averted only by the presence of Amer
lean troops and the knowledge that the
American military authorities are deter
mined to preserve order by the prompt exer-
else of force in case of necessity.
General Greene has large private inter
ests in New York state, and today gave
notice TO the adjutant general of his desire
to be relieved of further military service in
view of the practica! conclusion of peace be-
tween Spain and the United States. He
expected to return here Wednesday for the
purpose of further consultation with the
authorities in regard to the condition and
military necessities in Cuba. If perfectly
agreeable to the president, he will tender
his resignation from the army.

MAGAZINE CRITICISMS
BY CHADWICK OF
THE NEW YORK
FULL STEAM WAS NOT KEPT UP
Because Such FcClishness Would Have
Incapacitated All the Ships
Waiting for Cervera
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Captain q. E.
Chadwick, commander of the cruiser New
York, now lying off Tompkinsville, gave out
statement today denying allegations made
in an article published in the Engineering
Magazine. In the article referred to, state
ments were made to the effect that the
United States warships that destroyed Ger
vera,s feet at Santiago on July 3D., were
really not in proper state OF preparedness
when the Spanish fleet passed out through
the channel in the attempt to escape. En-
gines were uncoupled, it was stated, boilers
were either empty or full OF salt water and
the CRATES were cold.
Captain Chadwick says: "The New York
and Brooklyn have four engines, all OF which
together can only be used to advantage
with full power. The New York was using
forty-tive tons of coal day on the blockade,
as it was. 1t was the practice to keep
steam on four of the six boilers, the fifth
filed with water kept hot and primed, ready
for firing, and sixth cleaning. This was
the condition on the day of the action. The
sixth boiler, as were all the others, was
filled with fresh, hot salt water 10 have
kept fire sufficient to use efficiently all the
engines coupled, WOulu nave OccdsloHeu dH
expenditure Of coal which would have forced
the New York from her station, as it did the
others. As it was, she was hanging by her
eyelds, so to sepak, avoiding as long as pos
sible going to Guantanamo for coal. The use
Of her engines and the Brooklyn's, coupled
before the moment of full power, would have
been very serious detriment, and after
full power was on, it would have been alb
surd to stop to couple, when going sixteen
or seventeerknots, and thus lose from four
to five miles when it was clearly apparent
that the chase was being rapidly overhauled.
stringent orders existed regarding the
use of fresh water in all ships; it was not
singular to the Oregon. The New York
never had any but fresh water in her boilers
and circular order of Admiral SIMPSONS
of May 20 covered this matter in great de-
tail. If full steam had been kept up at all
times, it would have simply meant more
ships off their stations and less force to
meet an enemy. 1t would have been a fool
ish thing to do from any point of view, par
ticularly from the engineering, as bleeding
continuously in the condensers, high pres
sure would have been most injurious to them
and we should have had our ships altogether
incapacitated."

NORTHERN INDIANS
Not Satisfied Without Pay for Their

SPOKANE, Wash, Dec. 26.-The govern

reservation, peopled by 900 Indians. Indian
Agent Anderson and Allotting Agent Harry
Humphrey have been trying for some time
to allot the lands, but have met with resist
ance, the Indians being opposed to surveys
and allotments unless the government pays
them for the land as the Nez Perces and
Couer d'Alenes were paid for theirs. There
are about 100000 acres on the reservation,
and the contention of the government is
that the Indians have no title to it. The
government proposed to allot eighty acres
to each Indian in severalty and give them
nothing more. The Indians, led by Chief
