The removal of General Calixto Gar

pacify him and induce him to follow
the lines Of discretion marked out for
that faction have failed.
The matter is of present smaii con-
Germ to the Americans, but in the emo
il may precipitate the trouble the Gu

plain that the present intention OF the
Americans is to rule the island for ah
indefinite period-until. in TACT there 10
reason to believe the inhabitants are
capable of self-government. IL Is o--
lieved that a majority of the people
are not favorable to the civil govern
ment set up by Marti. Gomez. Maceo
and the others in arms against Spain,
| il would mean the persecution OF citi-
zens of Spanish birth or sympathies.
1t is in the hope of removing this con-
| victicn that the Junta and the civil ON
Gals the Junta represents have trieo u
induce Garcia to withdraw his resig-
nation and gracefully submit to Amer

surrender authority to this faction
, which has. maintained heroic wal
AGAINST the Spanish oppressors. ths
more hct-headed will rally around Gar
cia and induce him to declare oppo
sit;on to the continued rule OF th'
Americans. This could cause som'
trouble which we are very anxious II

But it may be said. with all possipl

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 81. lsss.
General Miles and the DE- pnrtmen


We do not think General Miles has
any reason to fear or to hope that the
War Department will institute a court
martial in his case.
His offense, If the newspaper interview
is accurate. is serious, but. unhappi!y.
the War Department is not in posi-
ton to take account of offeHses against
discipline. Its present purpose Is 10
avoid everything that may lead to Of
fetal inquiry into its conduct.
The statement of Secretary Alger,
that if General Miles is called to ac-
count, "t;,e newspapers will know Roth
ing about it, is only important If true.
To the impartial observer it locks
very much as though it is General
Miles who holds the whip in this case.
Military discipline is necessary, but
back of everything is the public sense
of what is right. and it cannot be said
that the War Department has SO many
friends at this moment that il can af-
ford to give the color Of truth to the
charges of prosecuting General Miles
by institutins a star-chamber inquis:-
tiCn.
Time will demonstrate that it rests
entirely with General Miles to say
whether there will be an inquiry in re-
gard to his offense of giving publicity
to War Department kilograms.
