TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
Sensational Charges.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 2l.-Ihe
Times this morning publishes al article
in connection with the Santiago cam
paign, in which it alleges tnat the 10,
tention was that Gen. Miles should
command, but he was held back by 10
t.igue and suppression of orders. First,
SAWS the Times, an effort was made to
side track the General by defamation.
It was said that Gen. Miles was going
to war in q bathtub; that he was proud
and selfconceited; that his vanity was
disgusting; that he would rather
have his picture taken and placed on
exhibition than serve his country
However, the President sent Gen:
Miles to Tampa. He then telegraphed
Miles permission to command he army
on the Santiago campaign. The tele-
gram of the President was either lost or
suppressed for it never reached Miles.
GA the contrary, Miles received an or
der directing him to return 10 WASH
ington for consultation. The soldiers
fought their way to Santiago and on
July 8, Shafter sent q telegram
to the War Department indi'
eating that he was beaten and must re-
treat 10 await reinforcemente. In this
emergency Miles was again called TO
the White House, when the President
directed him to issue the orders neces-
sary to save Skaters army. General
Miles sent peremptory orders to Shafter
which resulted in the demand for the
surrender of Santiago, with the threat
of its bombardment General Miles
played the game of bluff which won at
Santiago. On the following Thursday
General Miles started for Santiago. He
had been assured by the President that
ne should be in command of the army,
without interference from any source.
When be reached Santiago General
Shafter confronted him with g telegram
from the acknowledgement announcing
that General Miles should not take
command. 1t is the current belief that
investigation will disclose that many
lives OF the soldiers were needlessly
sacrificed at Santiago during the fight
ing and afterwards, because the orders
and directions OF General Miles were
either disobeyed or disregarded. Be
fore General Skaters army landed in
Cuba General Miles gave positive or
ders that they should not go into any
habitations in Cuba and should not
under any circumstances allow any
CubaDs in their camp. This most i'm
portant order was disregarded. Cubans
were allowed to freely enter our camps
and the soldiers sickened and died.
For this condition of affairs response
| bility must be fixed.

CAMP NOTES.

1t is not known when the troops will be re-
moved from Camp Alger.
Two train loads of troops from Thorough
fare passed through this city about = o'clock
this afternoon on their way to MiddletOwn,
Pa.
1t is thought the second division of tho
third army corps will be removed from Thor
oughfare to Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa
this week.
A medical commission on Saturday made an
inspection of Camp Alger and its surround
ings in order to ascertain the origin of the
fever from which numbers of tho soldiers
have recently been suffering.
There is said to BIO a great desire on the
part of nearly all the soldiers now at Camp
Alger to be mustered out of service. Camp
life, minus the excitement of war, has long
since become monotonous to vast majority.
A strong desire to return to their homes and
ordinary pursuits has taken possession of near
ly all the enlisted men now in camp at Dunn
Lorlng. Having enlisted for war, they hold
that with the termination of hostilities they
should be allowed to terminate their services
as members of the volunteer army. A vote
taken in several of the regiments upon prop
ostion to ask permission to disband showed
large majority in favor Of the plan. The men
who voted for disarmament say they have no
desire to shrk any form of military duty that
might fall to their lot, but they have no wish
to continue an idle existence in camp, with no
chance to perform garrison duty il any Of the
conquered islands.

UP TO 1861, it was held by the peo-
pie of this country that governments
derive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed, but since then
the exact reverse has been the case.
The demand of the whole people Of the
South for home rule and the rights
guaranteed them by demonstration was
responded to by the cry of rebels, and
a war of rapine, devastation, robbery,
and conquest, and since then the gov
q nment of the Sandwich Islands, Porto
Rico, Cuba and the Philippines has
been founded, not upon the will of the
people of those countries, but upon
that of few "rebels" among them.
