TILE MAN FOR ACTION.

New YORK World.
If there is any truth in the persistent
report that Gen. Miles is hampered in
his plans for invading Cuba and driv-
ing the Spaniards out by the supervis-
ion of a War Board or Board Of
Strategy" the delay in that operation
is easily understood.
No successful war was ever conduct

Potomac, in our war for the Union,
foundered from one defeat or from
one inconclusive campaign to another,
until Man took the place Of Cabinet
or a board in directing the fighting.
Grant selected his lines, made his own
plans, and with free hand fought it
out to final victory.
There is sometimes wisdom in "a
multitude Of counsellors," but there is
seldom either audacity or action: and

tho Newark City Hospital suffering from three

may result mortally. His wounds are the out
como OF q quarrel at q New Years eve celebra-
ton In the apartments of Edward and Mary
Burns at 473 South Tenth street on Friday
night. John Bicks, who occupies a rear room
in the same house. insisted upon joining in the
orgies about midnight, but Hole objected and
struck Bicks. The latter ran to his own room
and in a few minutes returned with q sharp.
long-bladed potato pairing knife and plunged
this into Holes body three times in spite Of the
attempt of Burns and others to prevent 1t. Then
he fed from the house.
The police were not notified until more than
two hours after the occurrence and, then only
because those in the house had failed to pro-
cure a physician and were becoming alarmed at
Holes condition. The police sent him to the
hospital and arrested every one In the Burns
apartments. They were all sent TO jail In de-
fault OF bail as Witnesses. After an hours
search Bicks was found hidden in the loft of a

and was held without bail to await the result
OF the injuries to HOLE. The latter is under
bail for an assault committed In Paterson and
