say concerning our foreign policy before
he left for New York:
The United States IS pledged to the
world that an independent and stable
government shall be established In Gu
ba. When / voted for that resolution
nothing was said about imperialism,
This country cannot afford TO 80 back
on It's pledge. These are my private
views, which believe are those Of the
Democratic party.
,'I do not know what conditions may
arise respecting Cuba, but have never
known a spanlsh-Amerlcan community
capable OF self-government and II is
possible that since we set out to free
Cubn from Spanish domination we may
be compelled to pursue course which

acquisition OF territory in the tropics,
this course would be less Objectionable

CUBA is adjacent TO the United
states, as Is Porto Rico, but the thought
az annexing the Philippines is prepos-
ferrous, un-democratIc, and not in ac-
cordanee with the principles handed
down from The days OF Thomas Jeffer-

As an American citizen of English
decent, ask permission to attempt
correction through your columns OF
certain Impressions which have gone to
Europe regarding the United States, and
the ofilcials upon whom devolves the
duty Of conducting the war with Spain.
one result OF this conflict is the increase
Of cordial and friendly relations be-
tween Great Britain and this country:
but the reports which have gone abroad
and which are being circulated by re-
spectacle newspapers (sO-called) have
not tended to foster and encourage
friendship, inasmuch as they reflect up
on the general commanding the forces
IN the lleld.
The conquests at Manila and at SAM
tiago de Cuba were not accidents, and
they ought in q measure to disprove the
charges OF inemclencH. But the specific
charge that General Miles Is without
military training ought to be met
eQuareiy by the specific facts which
should have the widest circulation.
They are interesting, and they may
prove an Incentive to the rising gener-
alton. Their publication ls made the
more necessary because no extended BIZ
ography Of the generals has ever been
published.

II IS true, as charged, that General
Mines was not educated at West Point.
II is equally true that he had the ad-

culum was more extended.
Moreover, the regular was supple
mented by a postgraduate course. The

and who was four times brevetted for

Al the outbreak of the civil war Nell
con A. Miles was clerk in a counting
house In Boston. At his own expense
he raised a company OF one hundred
men, which he rendered to the nation,
with his services. But he was only
twenty-five years OF age; and. being
deemed too young to command It, he
went to the front as lieutenant. And
vet, at the end Of thirteen months, he
was a ftlll.commlssloned colonel, COM
unandlng a regiment In the field, and In
about three years thereafter he COM
manded the Second corps 10 the Army
81 the Potomac. This was the largest
and hardest worked corps in that
army, which formed battle line around
Richmond twenty-slx miles long, was
always the nearest to the enemy and
was the CORPS 70 which General Lee
sent his ofEer OF surrender. And. fur
thermore. General Miles managed his
command so successfully that General
Grant personally recommended the
young major general TO President Abra-
ham Lincoln for his gallantry as Gen.
erai Meade. who commanded at Gettys-
burg, had already done.

FUELING wARsHIPs.
How Commodore Bradford Keeps tho
Bunkers of Our Great Ocean
Fighters Full of Coal.

One of the greatest triumphs of the
lie observation has been the work Of
the several bureaus of the navy de-
partment in furnishing supplies and
equipments for the troops, says
Washington dispatch in the Chicago
Record. AS Secretary Long remarked
in recent interview, their duties have
been quite as valuable as those of the
fleet in Cuban waters OF the harbor
Of Manila. But for their foresight and
executive ability the ships might have
been helpless for the lack of fuel, am
munitipn and food. The superiority
CT our naval organization and the abil-
ity Of our bureau chiefs has been dem
onstrated in striking manner. One
of the most remarkable has been fur
nished by the bureau of equipment in
the distribution of coal. No matter
how frequently or suddenly the scene
Of naval activity is changed, the yes
sells must have fuel, and it has been
Commodore Bradford's business to see
that loaded Golfers were on hand
when they were wanted. Without the
employment of an extra clerk and
without the slightest parade he has
succeeded in keeping the bunkers of
every vessel in the navy full of coal
from the beginning of hostilities, no
matter whether they were on the
North Atlantic coast or in the Carib-
bean sea, or in the ports Of the Pacific
or the Philippine islands. All the same
time he has been able to furnish fuel
for the army transports in both oceans
without allowing his coal piles at the
source of supply to be diminished.
Some idea of the magnitude of this
task is suggested by the fact that
within the last four months 10000
tons Of coal have been delivered to the
ships of the United States navy in va
rious parts of the world, at a cost OF
nearly 100000. Over $4,000 tons have
been distributed from Key West alone
and 10000 tons from Honolulu.
