triRue and suppression Of orders First an
effort was made 70 sidetraclz Niles BY defama-
ton President Mckinley telegrGphed Gen.
Niles while at Tampa. permission TO command
that army on the Santiago campaign The
telegram Of the president OF the United States
was either lost or suppressed, for it never
reached Gen Niles On the contrary Gen
Miles received al order directing him to return
% Washington for consultation After his re-
turn to Washington Gen Miles secured a copy
Of that telegram at the white house and
he now hes &c in his possession The sol
dlers fought their way 70 Santiago and on the
war department indicating that he was beaten
and must retreat to await endorsements In
this emergency Gen Miles was again called to
the white house Then and there President
Mckinley directed him TO issue the orders
necessary to save Skaters army with the IN
derstsnding that he should remain In COM
mand Of the army until the close Of the

partment and sent peremptOry orders 70
Shafter, which resulted in the DISPOSE
tiOn Of the troops which made the army safe
from assault he Issued orders which resulted
In Skaters demand OF the surrender Of San

THE KAISER AND JERUSALEM.

THE KAISER AND JERUSALEM.
Another thing may be said here in
regard TO Germany 1t is quietly I'M
derstood among public men there
that the Kaiser has something up his
sleeve with regard TO Turkey. His
hold upon the Sultan is as absolute
as it is amazing. The peaceful clock
evacuation of rhessaly IN which Sal
isbury himself did not believe is to
be ascribed altogether to Williams
commanding influence. He has TAX
en- up the part at Constantinople of
the Sultan's friend and hacker which
England used to play, and he can do
1T Infinitely better because he has no
nervous humanitarian public senti-
ment at home to hamper him. Do not
be surprised if out of this combina-
ton of Lutheranism and Islam a
very striking result proceeds. Nearly
700 years ago "A German Emperor Sc
cured the cession of Jerusalem into
Christian hands, though it did not
long remain there. 1t is more than
limited to me that when William pro-
ceeds to the Holy Land in October
and consecrates the new church of
Jerusalem on the 18th, he NAV be
able to announce something which
will electrify the whole Christian
world as to the future custody and
destiny of the Holy City.-London
