Republicans Criticise War POLICY,

According to the average Republican
paper such matter as the following is to
be found only in disloyal, reasonable
Populist papers, but this is taken from
the Wichita Daily Eagle, edited by POST
master Marsh Murdock.
Until convinced by results or sub
sequent events we must maintain that
the great battleship Oregon should have
been dispatched westward instead of
eastward. She should have been an
chored in Manila bay weeks ago. Mer-
ritt should have gone with the Charles
ton and her transports. Miles, who but
few months ago boasted that he could
land $4,000 American soldiers in Cuba
in sixty hours should have headed the
biggest force he could have possibly
mustered on short notice, and landed it
in the rear Of Havana, leaving the rails
ing and forwarding Of reinforcements
to the War department. With but twenty
or thirty soldiers safely entrenched in
the rear Of Havana, and one Of our naval
fleets patrolling in front Havana would
have been starved into subsection ere
this, without the waste of a pound of
powder. Even had that city held out
under such an investment, by this time
Miles could and would have had 100000
men in striking distance of the capital.
Santiago is not Cuba, and the governor
general Of Cuba will not surrender until
Havana falls, except at the instance of
Spain.

tion. Now it is positively unfit for hui
man habitation. Out in the Presidlo are
hundreds Of unOCcupied acres admirably
adapted to the use of soldiers. Why are
they not utilized? / do not know, but
in the present arrangement there is a
shameless job. Out of the Kansas regi-
ment alone six men have died. The
colonel begged to be allowed to go to the
Preside, and the request was refused.
The New York men arrived, smelled the
situation over, and demanded to be
given a place on the reservation. They
got 1t. The New Workers have more
money than the Kansans. They came
here with a pull so strong that the
reputation Of 1t preceded them. But in
patriotism the Kansan is the equal of
the New Yorker, to his country his life
Is as valuable. The distinction made
between them is nothing but an exhibit
tion Of red tape. Technically, the New
Yorker belongs to the department of
California, and the Kansan to the Phil
ippine expeditionary forces. In reality
they are both soldiers who have volun-
teered to serve their country, and it is
not fair that either should be Obliged to
take up quarters on the reeking sands OF
Camp Merritt. Their lives are their
country's, but this gives the country no
excuse for throwing them away. Camp
Merritt should be abolished, not when
the last fleet has sailed for the islands,
but to-day"
