MUCH TALK
But LittIe,Else Concerning the Miles
AIuer Controversy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The return
of Gen. Miles has created a tlutter OF
excitement in official circles. Every
body is talking about what is likely to
happen in view of the published state
ments given out at New York by the
commanding general of the army, in
which he took the war department
severely to task.
Sentiment is greatly divided here as
to whether Alger will be wise in in
sisting upon rigid investigation of
the many charges that have been made
against his department on account of
the conduct of the war. Some think
that on the eve of election it might
damage the republican party to stir
up strife, but others are positive that
il is the duty of the administration to
take the bull by the horns and clear
up the situation at once.
Officials of the department who are
closest to Alger are discretely holding
their tongues. AT least they are not
talking for publication. Privately,
however, they are much incensed
against Gen. Miles, and from gossip
heard in the various divisions it is
evident that all parties to the contro-
versy have very earnest champions.
Sensatiopalists are busy spreading
the report that Miles has political as
pirations, and they even go so far as to
declare that he wants to be president.
These rumors are laughed at by other
army officers and denounced as silly in
the aStPpma

SPANISH PRISONERS
On Their Way To Spain.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Fifty Spanish
officers arrived at Jersey City this
morning from Annapolis, Maryland.
They went at once to the Anchor line

Spanish prisoners there. On
the steamer the officers
met number of their comrades who
came north by boat. Many of them
were young, and all seemed in jolly
spirits as they sat down to breakfast

A Handsome Present.

The customs officers of Juarez, head
ed by Collector Bsuche and one or two
others, will on the 10th inst. present to
Governor Ahumsda of chihuahua, one
of the finest rubber tired traps that
the Columbus Buggy Co, of Columbus,
Ohio, ever built.
The trap was built to order. All the
trimmings are of silver: on the sides of
the seat are solid silver monograms.
THE entire rig" said Mr.. Noake as
he ordered it, ''is the handsOmest that
was ever brought to this section"
The harness is also very heavy and
handsomely decorated with silver trim
mings.
The whole outfit cost something like
$3.50 in gold, and will be a present
which the governor will appreciate,
ss there are none in the republic finer.
