ALGER WON'T TALK.
Refuses to Discuss Criticism of His
Department


Washington, Aug. 29-Secretary AL
ger declined today to discuss for publ
cation the criticisms of the war depart
ment, but he said that the possibilities
and almost certainties of terrible raw
ages from the fevers had been fully dis
cussed by the war officials and by the
press before the army went to Cuba,
and the government has held back
against sending a great army to Cuba
when the same agitators who now COM
ing that an army of 10O 900 be sent to
Cuba. He was thankful that so few
men had died from disease in Cuba and
that so many of the sick who had re-
turned were suffering from no worse
complications than malarial fever
When asked about the interviews of
General Miles criticising the war de-
partment, Secretary Alger said:
Il do not believe that General Miles
ever gave such an interview. He is a
trained soldier and discreet man, and
would not make such statements as are
attributed to him without seriously
weighing his words and recognizing the
consequences. General Miles is not a
fool, and I do not believe he ever said
what has been reported
But suppose he comes home and ad-
mits that the interview is correct?'
Il cannot discuss such a supposition
at this time. The army regulations ap-
ply to such cases." said the secretary
in a way that left no doubt of his mean
ing.
Should General Miles admit that the
published interview with him is correct
he would be court martialed at once.

Fusion Convention at Ottawa Has a
Lively Afternoon.

Ottawa. Kan, Aug 29.-The Demo-
Gratis and Populists held their county
conventions here. The Democrats
wanted county attorney, one represen-
tattVe and commissioner. The POPS
would not allow them commissioner
The Democrats nominated a candidate
for commissioner and sent the name to
the Pops. The latter refused to endorse
and sent word to the Democrats. The
latter called a meeting and instructed
their central committee to hold out for
commissioner or nothing. The Demo-
Gratis nominated Con Simmons of Wells
Vile for the Legislature. Mr.. Simmons
was in the last legislature and voted
for resubmissiOn. When this was told
at the Pop convention, it precipitated a
small riot. Hot headed delegates swore
they would never support him, but he
was endorsed. The Pop resolutions en-
dorsed Mckinley and censured Senator
Sheldon for his fight on Governor
Leedy. Adjutant Deford and J. B.
Chapman buried the Ratchet, and the
former supported Chapman, who was
nominated for county attorney. P. P.
Elder, who has cherished the hopes
that he would round out his career
with another term in the legislature,
was badly defeated by W. E. Kibbe, of
WellSVille.
